Plus: David Hardaker writes his final Crikey story.

%%=v(@salutation)=%% |
This week,
amid the worsening media furore over the Voice to Parliament,
Arrernte writer and undecided voter Celeste Liddle implored readers: “All I find myself wishing for is that the Australian public votes according to knowledge,
rather than half-truths and apathy”.
Meanwhile,
the coverage of News Corp — which this week continued its protracted cruxification of Professor Marcia Langton — was described as “heavily biased in favour of the No campaign”.
There was plenty happening beyond the Voice too. We also appraised a Sydney property developer's bravery in trashing workers,
considered why AUKUS could trigger an electoral warning shot from Chinese Australians,
explained the logistical nightmare in delivering art to Desert Mob festival in Mparntwe,
and much more.
Hope you're enjoying your weekend. |

Scott Morrison's addiction to secrecy has been embraced by Defence Minister Richard Marles, and extends to an entire new industry spawned by AUKUS. In his last report, investigations editor David Hardaker reflects on why Crikey has been right to break with the conventions of journalism and to go where others fear.

Manufacturers need to figure out a way to make EVs cheaper if they are going to capture the bottom end of the market and chase cheap fossil-fuel vehicles off the road. That’s where sodium-ion batteries come in.
