Spent more than 8 months on this, and it’s the wildest story I’ve ever worked on. The Tasmanian government covered up literally thousands of cases of child abuse over two decades. The cover up continues to this day. #politas

Thanks to you all for reading and supporting my recent work. Btw it’s free to read all my posts, just subscribe here:.

It’s absurd and embarrassing in a liberal democracy to have to say this, but people shouldn’t be punished for protesting against genocidal oppression. So many cultural institutions have done this very thing though - and damaged themselves in the process.

RT @grhutchens:

New:.The Lattouf decision drew attention to something that needs much more discussion in Australia. On the Lattouf case and other cases of pro-Israel pressure on Australia’s cultural institutions -.

Amid all the Very Important analyses of strategies and outcomes in the big media, I love how the one option that’s never mentioned is: Israel should cease its unprovoked attacks on Iran, and negotiate.

New - .Pre-emptive attack is self-defence:.On Israel and America’s unprovoked assault on Iran.

A new addition to my TAS investigations. This is one of the most egregious cases of govt negligence I’ve ever come across. Tasmanians need to ask how their child protection bodies are run. It’s a disgrace. #politas.

Why is Australia’s right so talentless?.Dutton, Palmer, Babet, Hanson, Rennick, Price, Roberts. Truly we are blessed that the right continues to put up such terrible candidates. (first published in Crikey)

“A former employee of Tasmania's notorious Ashley Youth Detention Centre has been arrested over alleged serious sexual offences, including child sexual abuse, while he was working at the centre.”.Not sure why this news was released late Friday afternoon. ?.

“The 64-year-old man will … face charges of 11 counts of rape, three counts of indecent assault and two counts of indecency. The charges relate to three victim-survivors and stemmed directly from matters that were investigated as a result of the Commission of Inquiry.”.

This. OMG finally. Congrats to the brave whistleblowers and victim-survivors who have come forward. It's been many years coming. First of many alleged perpetrators to face justice, hopefully.

NEW:.People have pointed to the Trump effect, but there’s another reason why the right has failed again in Australia: it continues to put up candidates that are fundamentally and unequivocally terrible.

Many if not most of these cases relate to Ashley Youth Detention Centre. For reasons the TAS government is yet to adequately explain, Ashley is still open, contemporary allegations are still emerging, and TAS taxpayers are paying millions in compensation to victims. #politas

Authoritarianism relies on a significant degree of public support, and Trump is rapidly losing it. His aura of invincibility is gone. Trump’s wheels are already falling off:.
