The Royal Commission invited Marcus, a former ASIO source with direct knowledge relevant to its inquiry, to speak. He cannot enter Australia to do it. One person can change that. @Tony_Burke , approve the visa.

Instead of enforcing fair industry standards for AI and Big Tech, the Albanese Govt is spending $74m to chase 13-year-olds into private chat rooms. The logic? Target the symptoms, ignore the source.

The Coalition’s new immigration policy would be a Trumpian assault on our civil liberties. Vetting social media and making vague “values” a binding visa condition is a poor attempt at cover for the Coalition to shamefully discriminate against the migrants they do not like.

Stripping legal aid and bypassing judicial oversight with an ICE like taskforce isn't "tough", it’s a rejection of the rule of law.

Making those who want to visit and join our community surrender their rights undermines all our rights and weakens Australian values at a time when we need them most.
