Test cricket is ALIVE as long as THESE TWO TEAMS are ALWAYS PLAYING EACH OTHER #INDvAUS
Our Governments should sign an accord to stop playing England @AlboMP #INDvAUS
Australia don't make ~150 challenge #INDvAUS
It looked that way on paper, but dropping Head surely confirmed as one of the all-time classic selection blunders. Using his feet better than anyone #INDvAUS

Good morning and welcome to Hearing Block 4. I have been granted access to the media room but I'll be watching the first session from the gallery. I can see all the lawyers with my eyes. Stream is below:

Here is today's witness list. This morning's session will be focused on victims of the scheme. A warning in advance that there will be discussions of suicide.

I'm just not sure defending our public representatives for owning multiple investment properties, in the middle of a housing crisis, because 'everyone else is doing it' is quite as strong an argument as you think it is.
It is legal to own several investment properties. That's about all you can say for it. We're seeing that it's evidently very much a problem and a barrier to properly-considered federal housing policy and legitimate debate in the Parliament. I could be wrong, but I'm not.
This is not a 'let he without sin' situation, because no-one is actually proving themselves a legitimate spokesperson on housing issues other than Chandler-Mather. People are looking for explanations why this 'debate' was such a failure, why standard of representation is so poor.

Tudge Day 2, Christian Porter
Online submissions to the #RobodebtRC close at midnight tomorrow. I'll be making one relating to my experiences with my psychiatrist at the time.

We often discussed my welfare rights work, and he had a number of patients presenting in serious distress.

He was confused and upset that so many of them presented suicidally about some interaction with Centrelink.

He'd moved from Brazil to practice in Australia at some point.

I had to explain the Robodebt system to him 'from the couch', and how/where to refer them.

I've briefly searched for evidence of Mr. Hannan's claim and I can't find any historical media reporting, from a professional outlet, that makes any reference to the '2000' figure delivered in Estimates in any other way to how it was described there.

#RobodebtRC
It's possible they've been deleted since. Or he could be simply mistaken, or confused in reference to some belief about the response within DHS. As I said, it's certainly a belief on social media that I often have cause to push back on.

#RobodebtRC
One thing I would like to find out: was providing that figure to Estimates discussed in any kind of strategic communications context?

There were strategic implications for the defence of the scheme that related to that figure, if it were at all misconstrued...
