Meanwhile, the Royal Commission into Defence and Veterans Suicide is scathing of military culture and calls for a new support body to help personnel transition to civilian life. And Peter Dutton’s idea for breaking up supermarket chains has angered some of his own supporters, raising questions if the party is aligned with its traditional values.
I can’t wait to hear your questions – and get you answers.
