When the NSW Police confirmed that the document was falsified, it was the community's expectation that the truth would surface and that the Minister would be held accountable. Faith in our democratic institutions will be further eroded until these questions are answered.

We are a country on the front line of climate change – this summer’s devastating drought, bushfires and storms has proven that. We are also a wealthy nation, and the largest per-capita emitter in the OECD. And yet, we are a country without legislation on climate change.
