Plus: Productivity Commission backs the Voice?
|
%%=v(@salutation)=%% |
Year 7 students at a school in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) wrote letters to their environment minister protesting against a proposed water allocation plan. Less than six weeks later,
two government representatives showed up in class. Julia Bergin had the story.
Elsewhere this week Cam Wilson wrote on neo-Nazis getting comfortable in a Senator's instant-messaging channel,
Charlie Lewis reminisced about John Howard's culture wars,
and Bernard Keane wrote on a Liberal-commissioned Productivity Commission report that details why we need a Voice to Parliament.
All that plus the return of Media Briefs,
and plenty more.
We hope you're having a wonderful weekend. |
