Outrage from the Senate, and rightly so imo. An already over-secretive govt is bad enough but for it’s political appointees to close ranks in this fashion is indeed outrageous and counter to the idea of *public service*.
“Australia’s most senior bureaucrats have been put on notice by the Senate over a push to restrict how footage of public servants appearing before parliamentary committees can be used.
The Coalition, Greens and independent Senator David Pocock teamed up to pass a joint motion rejecting attempts by government departments and agencies to control how footage of public hearings can be edited and shared online.”

In the Aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s Murder: Defend Free Speech
By world-outlook.com on September 23, 2025
from #WorldOutlook
By Yvonne Hayes and Argiris Malapanis[In my opinion, this is an outstanding article, even if a bit long.]
The September 10 assassination of right-wing “influencer” #CharieKirk was an attack on free speech of the most serious and dangerous kind. It should be unequivocally condemned. Kirk’s murder served up an excuse on a silver platter for the #Trump administration and its allies to accelerate their assault on #democraticrights. The White House is now using the horrendous killing to propel Trump’s drive toward autocratic rule.
No matter how odious one’s ideas, eliminating an opponent in an act of violence does nothing to advance the cause of justice. It sets back every effort to win public opinion to defend democracy, which is preferable to any kind of dictatorial rule.
