More than 110 years ago the US supreme court justice Louis Brandeis wrote about the need to shine a light on the actions of governments: “If the broad light of day could be let in upon men’s actions, it would purify them as the sun disinfects.”
Brandeis would hone that thought into “sunlight is the best disinfectant”, an idiom still relied on today – usually by politicians sitting on opposition benches. Anthony Albanese’s Labor party is no exception.
