It comes as Labor introduces legislation to enshrine the powers of a triple zero watchdog — but have they moved "too slow"? What if "red flags" not acted upon lead to failures this bushfire season? And politicians on both sides have marked the two-years on from the October 7 attacks, but social cohesion at home still remains fractured.
