Jill Wine-Banks is a former Watergate prosecutor and has been following the January 6 investigation closely. She spoke to @latingle. @JillWineBanks #abc730
"The evidence did not come from Democrats. The evidence came from those who knew what was going on and those are the people who were inside the White House, people who were inside the campaign." – @JillWineBanks #abc730
"it's always more easy to convince a jury of the credibility of a witness if they're testifying against their own interests ... and when it comes to the referrals and the DOJ, the DOJ is an independent agency and will act based on the law and the facts." – @JillWineBanks
"In terms of whether it will have any impact on the people who are loyal Donald Trump supporters ... I don't think those people would be swayed. But there are enough independents and enough Republicans who have seen the facts and the truth." – @JillWineBanks #abc730

A referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament will be one of the biggest issues confronting the country next year. @latingle spoke to @mdavisqlder about what the Voice can be, and why she remains optimistic about its future. #abc730
"I think one of the reasons the Voice became the primary focus of Indigenous constitutional recognition is that we actually don't have much input at all into laws and policies that are made about our lives and our communities." – @mdavisqlder #abc730
"There's a lot of noise and it happens in a lot of policy areas in Australia. There's a lot of noise and a lot of advisory committees. There's a lot of talk. There's a lot of reports but there's no coordination. There's no coherency." – @mdavisqlder #abc730

Tasmanians have long wanted their own AFL team, and they’re closer than ever to getting one. But the AFL has made it clear a local team is contingent on the island state building a brand new stadium. #abc730
“Just about everyone I speak to shares my view that it would be unconscionable to spend that sort of money at a time that the state has so many other challenges.” – Andrew Wilkie, Independent MHR #abc730
“This is a huge opportunity for all Tasmanians and can I say, that these are the investments, this is the type of vision, this is the type of commitment that we all need to embrace.” – Jeremy Rockliff, Premier #abc730

Kim Beazley once remarked that he had spent much of his public life engaged in questions about Australia's defence. Now as the new chairman of the Australian War Memorial, he's the custodian of the memories so central to our national myth-making. #abc730
"It is a great institution. It's the best of its kind globally. And it's of course constantly experiencing requirements to expand, because we get committed to conflicts and get committed to humanitarian missions and peacekeeping." – Kim Beazley #abc730
"Since the first time I can recollect going there, I always had a sense it was a sacred place. And it is, apart from the sacred spaces of the First Nations people in this country, it is arguably the most sacred space we have here in Australia." – Kim Beazley #abc730

The Albanese government has introduced tax breaks intended to make EVs more affordable – but drivers who have already made the switch say the nation needs to do more to embrace the electric revolution. #abc730
“If I didn’t have a charger … I’d need to go to a public charger. They are pretty few and far between at the moment. It’s getting better but there’s not one really close by, so it’d be pretty inconvenient.” – Sam Wright #abc730
“If you’ve got to go through that whole process of getting a lease agreement drafted and then putting that to a vote, the next person in this building is going to have to do the exact same thing, even though I’ve already done it. That’s pretty onerous.” – Sam Wright

The new government responded to that report today with a suite of reforms including a new environmental agency and new federal regulations. #abc730 #auspol

.@gretathunberg spoke to @FergusonNews from her home in Sweden. #abc730
“People often ask me whether I'm a pessimist or an optimist when it comes to saving the climate. And I always say that I'm a realist.” - @gretathunberg. #abc730
