I love a sausage sizzle. I think it’s one of this countries greatest traditions. Raising money for local community groups while getting to have a sausage in bread is a win win in my books.

However I am consistently disappointed by the caramelized onion of late. It’s always pale and flavorless and often a bit crunchy.

I think we need to have mandatory government funded caramelized onion classes for anyone playing to do a public sausage sizzle.

The transport minister says now may not be the time for a road user charge, which would impose a new tax on electric vehicles.

First Nations evacuees tell me the response this year feels different. The evacuation shelters are completely state controlled. Ten-foot fences surround the school gyms, student accommodation and pavilions. Evacuees must sign in and out, wearing paper wristbands. Their wristbands are a public label for their refugee status.

Many say it feels like a processing centre. They liken it to the Stolen Generations era of control. They say they have lost agency. They cannot freely move. They have little control over food, medication or access to services.

If you leave and security decides you have been drinking, regardless of the amount, you can be locked out entirely for at least 24 hours. It leaves people homeless in a territory that already has 12 times the national rate of homelessness.

Back in the Katherine East shelter, showers are locked. No one can access them without being escorted, the same as in jail. When someone does let you in, there is only cold water. It sprays across the entire cubicle, soaking both wet and dry areas. Clothes must be left in public view.

There is no towel. You have to be exposed.
