Australia has no protection for journalism.
That means we don't protect our democracy.
We need Anti-SLAPP laws to stop the powerful and wealthy from using vexatious lawsuits to silence critics.

a foreign govt at war. That is what journalists are for, & in this country it is meant to be protected. Then she had to defend it in Fed Court, spending 2yrs doing almost nothing but preparing her defence. In her own words, "a case like this would have cost the average Australian their home."

Food stamps have a direct link to other critical resources, such as free breakfast and lunch at school. Now, experts say they're starting to see that link break.

Fear is never a permanent foundation for your politics to rest upon. It creates a temporary sense of control for those who wield it and a drive for change in those whom it impacts.
I know that I often point to the insanity in the US as a cause for concern with the rise of One Nation here at home

So I realised something about Australia.
1) We have a better chance of preventing the rise of the far right here due to the multi party system
2) One Nation may be on the rise but their brand of grievance driven policy and politics isn't sustainable

This RWer is the reason why political debate has gone so sour. While I may not agree with @lisazed.bsky.social 100% of the time that is ok for example. That comes from our views being at odds on a couple of issues which we discussed in another thread.

Pappas: It’s a big tell that Republicans are trying to gerrymander their way into a permanent majority, because they understand how historically unpopular their ideas are. Whether it’s closing rural hospitals, kicking people off their health insurance, or taking food away from hungry families
