It’s sadly ironic Helen Haines was attacked the same day as the Albanese government announced a new boss of the National Anti Corruption Commission, which she did more than anyone to champion.
Like the actual NACC compared to her model, Albanese’s choice was weak & political.
It seems like a race to the bottom between the USA and China. China has demographic and economic problems but so does the West and the problems facing the USA are worse. The “one-child”policy worked so well in China that the nation is dying so now they want to reverse the problem. Go forth and multiply commands the CCP but don’t use condoms. This won’t end well because in the past China had very high HIV rates which they managed to get a handle on.

My Comment: The Dan Dugan case demonstrates how captured we are. Well done on stopping ASIO normalizing these extreme powers. You are right on pointing out that neo-liberalism calls any state intervention communism. Certain industries require that they are answerable to the people. There need to be alternatives to "keep the bastards" honest. A Post Office bank is critical, so are utilities and public transport in public hands. Monopolies of any type need breaking up as such concentrations of power are detrimental to the public good and corporates need to pay their fair share of tax. Neo-Liberalism has been a disaster. Finally, I understand your love affair with China, and I know the history of colonial abuse, nevertheless the ordinary Chinese citizen is completely powerless in the face of corruption as anything detrimental to Party propaganda is hidden because it is considered a threat to the public good and that includes financial, environmental and natural disasters. The individual is of no consequence in the functioning of the system and the Party will pull out all stops to save face.
