"Washington feels like a city under military occupation. I've lived here during some terrible times - 9/11, the Washington sniper attacks, the anthrax attacks - but I've never seen anything like this." - @NickBryantNY #abc730
"Mitch McConnell has privately said he would love to purge
the Republican Party and the conservative movement of Donald Trump. That isn't going to happen." - @NickBryantNY #abc730
"Even after that attack on the Capitol, almost half of the Republican lawmakers voted to overturn the election. Donald Trump leaves office with an 80% approval rating amongst Republican voters." - @NickBryantNY #abc730
"Joe Biden didn't want to see Donald Trump impeached because he feared the opening days of his presidency would be dominated by a trial in the Senate of Donald Trump." - @NickBryantNY #abc730
"It may well be it doesn't happen early on in Joe Biden's presidency. There's talk of letting him have 100 days ... so that Biden can have a clean start when he takes over in the White House." - @NickBryantNY #abc730

Quarantine exemptions: who decides who gets them and what is the process to gain one? #abc730 @nadiasdaly @xanthekleinig
“Each state and territory has its own discretion about providing you with an exemption. Basically, you are exempt on health and compassionate grounds, and that you do not pose a public health threat to the community.” - Prof @MarylouiseMcla1, epidemiologist #abc730
“The exemptions that are provided seem to be a bit of a black box to us. We don't get a lot of information around a set of criteria that are applied and it's a bit of a judgment call.” - Andrew Miller, @AMA_WAPresident #abc730

The arrest of Vladimir Putin’s most prominent internal critic Alexei Navalny on his return to Russia yesterday has brought swift condemnation from US and European leaders, as well as calls for new economic sanctions. #abc730
Former US Ambasssador to Russia, Michael @McFaul, describes Alexei Navalny's decision to return to Russia as 'incredible bravery': “In his view, he has no choice – he has to go back to fight against what he considers a criminal regime in Russia.” #abc730
“My own reading of this situation is you are very much a weak leader if you need to divert a plane, arrest him for 30 days without really understanding what the charges are. Those are all signs of weakness.” – Michael @McFaul #abc730

For months now, the biggest threat of a fresh COVID outbreak in this country has been the virus leaking out of hotel quarantine - and some experts say poor ventilation and airborne transmission is not being taken as seriously as it should. #abc730
Occupational hygienist Kate Cole is one of more than 30 experts and doctors who signed a letter last week urging the Queensland government to investigate whether the virus was spread through the air in what is known as airborne transmission. #abc730
“When we breathe or talk or sing or shout, we all generate really fine droplets known as aerosols, and they stay in the air for a really long period of time. It’s a significant route of transmission between people, so we can’t ignore it.” – Kate Cole

It’s Australia’s most controversial renovation project – a $500m makeover to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. But those backing the development say the current memorial doesn’t properly recognise our recent diggers. #abc730
“For me, there’s really only a couple of very small displays in the Australian War Memorial where I can see myself or see the country that I went to support.” – Alison Creagh #abc730
“It’s not adequate to tell that story [of Afghanistan] in an exit corridor. They are entitled to the space so that we can speak to the nature of their remarkable service.” – Matt Anderson, Memorial Director #abc730

It seems incredible given we’ve experienced an unprecedented economic slump, but house prices could be just beginning an extraordinary boom according to the Reserve Bank – and it’s because of interest rates at record lows. #abc730
“The RBA’s research shows that historically, a 1 per cent fall in the cash rate, if it’s temporary, will boost house prices by about 10 per cent.” – @danielleiwood, Grattan Institute CEO #abc730
“Our very strong immigration program has historically been supporting house price demand ... realistically we’re probably not going to see a return to anything like business as usual for immigration and population growth probably until the start of 2022.” – @danielleiwood #abc730

This year, organisers for the Australian Open took a calculated risk, chartering 15 flights to bring more than 1,000 players and staff to Melbourne in the midst of a pandemic – and the unique system of restrictions is already being put to the test with six positive cases. #abc730
New Zealand doubles player Artem Sitak arrived late last week on a chartered flight from Los Angeles – and he is now in quarantine following news of a positive test result from his flight. #abc730
“We had a call with the ATP and Tennis Australia, and it was very clear, they said that if there was a [positive] case, it’s going to be up to the health authorities to decide what to do … so I was prepared for that.” – Artem Sitak #abc730
