Good morning Valued Subscriber,
The Coalition is on track to record its lowest share of votes at a federal election since the party's inception, with Peter Dutton fast running out of time to salvage his chances of becoming prime minister. The latest YouGov poll showed the Coalition in need of a miracle two weeks out from polling day. Jenna Price thinks she knows exactly why Dutton's party is floundering so badly and says he's using one of his best talents as a shield for bad policy. Armies of fake TikTok accounts are spreading repetitive praise or attacks on the social media accounts of major political figures - but no one seems willing to claim responsibility for deploying them. Eleanor Campbell has identified more than 100 social media bots targeting the accounts of Peter Dutton, Anthony Albanese and the major parties.
It's a good weekend for a drink with friends, and it could be a farewell drink at a city venue that is closing down. But Amy Martin reports the end for one bar is the reboot for another. And Raiders fans, this will be music to your years. A prominent league voice thinks the current crop in Green could be our best in decades, Melanie Dinjaski reports. It will be great weather for this Good Friday if you fancy spending it outside. After a low of six degrees we're forecast to hit a top of 26. John-Paul Moloney, managing editor |
