Is Labor the new party of capital? Guy Rundle argued so this week. But what about the party’s supporters? To find out, Ben Clark got out the graphs and took a closer look at voting patterns among renters and homeowners.

Elsewhere, the John Barilaro recruitment snafu continued. Julia Bergin neatly wrapped up the fallout from the appointment with four explosive text messages presented to the inquiry, Bernard Keane discussed whether the saga raises more serious issues than jobs for mates, and lawyer Michael Bradley made the case for why the whole thing should go to ICAC.

Finally, Cam Wilson was busy this week revealing the man believed to be behind QAnon is now in Australia. This plus plenty more from this week’s coverage.
