Reservations notwithstanding, it’s clear that Richard Cooke has enormous affection for Wikipedia and its worker bees – its gap-fillers, single-subject obsessives, citation detectives and autistic sticklers. That last adjective is not used casually. trib.al/qX0jj0Z
Editorial: A gas tax, levied at 25 per cent, would be effective and popular and would not happen while Labor is in charge. The gas industry can be reassured that it wouldn’t happen under the Coalition, either. trib.al/bVaXGps
In 'Eliza', playwright Tom Holloway critiques AI’s more troubling aspects by going back to its roots six decades ago, when a chatbot was being developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology with some help from the US Defence Department. trib.al/dyl9Dzn
The Hague Convention was conceived in 1980 to expedite the return of children taken overseas. Now it has been weaponised by abusive fathers seeking the return of their children, with deadly consequences. trib.al/7DZ84qN
“The increasing numbers of stay applications in the NT is a symptom of the Northern Territory government … failing to understand that a healthy and functioning criminal justice system is good for all Territorians, including victims and affected families.” trib.al/nFFnpEb
Jason Koutsoukis on how Tony Abbott and Peta Credlin regained control of the Coalition and installed Angus Taylor as leader. “He was their candidate, and his policy agenda is their policy agenda.” trib.al/2rJXQBS
“The truth is that the present-day Labor Party is no friend of the environment; the best it can claim is that it is a little bit less of an enemy to the environment than the Coalition or One Nation.” trib.al/8ygCrRw
Exclusive: Two years after the Afghanistan Inquiry Compensation Scheme was set up, Defence documents released under freedom of information laws reveal that no decisions to pay compensation have been made. trib.al/rfC2nHR
The Saturday Paper spoke with a One Nation source this week who said the party’s systems of vetting candidates and staff – and for centralising campaign strategies and policy – remained shambolic, as the party’s ambition has dramatically scaled up. trib.al/tpEF7Dc
Some 37 per cent said psychologists newly registered under the current system do not meet expectations for workforce readiness, and 57 per cent did not agree that a shorter pathway would help, a recent survey found. trib.al/fJA5Jcu
Labor, the Coalition and One Nation all want to cut overseas student numbers. They risk further damage to Australia’s international standing on education, says former Labor leader, now Canberra University vice-chancellor, Bill Shorten. trib.al/begPWN7
“Most of the opposition's immigration policies are merely objectives with, as usual, very little detail about how they should be met,” writes John Hewson. trib.al/jgAmUez
A decade after losing power, Tony Abbott, Peta Credlin and her husband, former Liberal Party federal director Brian Loughnane, are in charge federally and in key state branches, meeting at private clubs, deciding policy and purging moderates. trib.al/n47qtj1
