#HERNAMEIS RACHEL WAKE
The epidemic of men’s violence continues. 52-year-old Rachel Wake was killed on Christmas Day in Hobart. She was a mum and midwife, adored by her community and patients. A 60-year-old man known to her has been charged with murder. Devastating beyond words.
I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!”
With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/
This morning I overheard a man come back to his dog after leaving it outside a cafe and ask 'how did you go mate, did you get any pats?!' I have not stopped smiling.
If you need a new law to allow you to be a bigot towards children in accordance with your religion, maybe your religion is a little bit messed up.
Just saying.
"This should have been a place of safety and contribution, and instead it turned out to be a nightmare," says the PM.
Kind of like LGBTIQ people in religiously fanatic homophobic school environments, you absolute fucking hypocrite.
And the timing is absolutely deliberate. Survivors of sexual abuse and bullying should be outraged and disgusted that their apology is being used to obfuscate another injustice.
Parliament pausing for a moment to acknowledge victims of bullying, then moving on to casually vote on whether or not to allow trans people to be bullied is peak gaslighting.
Such a clear example of when men are considered principled and women are called petulant - for the same behaviour. And yet Tame shook the PM’s hand, stood quietly and in place for the photos.
