GRATA FUND & FOI

Image
Dear Tony, It’s gone! After sustained pressure from people like you, Grata Fund and our civil society partners, the Albanese Government ’s FOI secrecy bill has been forced into the dustbin of history where it belongs. This morning, the Albanese Government discharged its own Bill from the Senate. It was an embarrassing attempt at a face-saving after learning that Independents , the Coalition , and Greens were planning to defeat the bill next week. It’s a huge relief, to be honest. This bill would have been a disaster for our democracy. It would have taken a sledgehammer to our FOI laws, treasured by journalists, lawyers, and the public, rendering them practically toothless.

Remember The Front Page News when Pinochet refused the Latin American masses in 1973?  Ms Flannery Did.  Maybe her humble protest?  Maybe a teachable moment?  It matters not.  Ms Flannery Simply Shared Her Own Pablo Poetry Love. With Us.  3rd Graders,  Eager Worldly Learners.  Remember when the Chilean people ignored President Pinochet's nil public celebration decree?  They Marched, They Came In Massive Numbers, They Wanted To Farewell Their Hero.  So We Read.  To Celebrate A Poet.  On The Other Distant Side of The Pacific.  Remember when The 1971 Nobel Laureate, a peace prize winner, a diplomat, a worldly well read poet,  a communist, a radical, a man who had to hide in fear of death and/or arrest,  a man of strength and grace and a particularly challenging up bringing?  so what's in Pablo's changed name? why why why? why did he choose "Pablo Neruda" as his writing non de plume? why was a Poet, even in deat...
