This week Crikey’s reporters and columnists considered the moves and motives of the powerful.
Anton Nilsson and The Mandarin’s Peter Gearin collated a list of people who have moved through the revolving door of politics and the big four consultancies,
Maeve McGregor wrote on Scott Morrison’s righteous hypocrisy,
and Peter Greste examined the price Australian whistleblowers pay for calling out abuses of power.
Meanwhile,
Bernard Keane outlined why RBA governor Philip Lowe had to go and evaluated the work history of Lowe’s replacement Michele Bullock,
Cam Wilson checked in on Craig Kelly’s court case,
and Gunaikurnai and Wotjobaluk journalist Benjamin Abbatangelo wrote that the Indigenous Voice to Parliament is born out of white appeasement,
not Black ambition.
Plus the cynic's case for trying out Mark Zuckerberg's latest platform,
and the return of Tips and Murmurs!
