What’s happened to basic journalistic balance @theage? 8 people saying the mural was terrific and only one counter view. As for it being ‘edgy’, @stephenjolly99 porn and other garden variety depictions of violence against women are tediously mainstream.

@twanchovy @angijones Okay, thanks.

[Kathleen Maltzahn @KPMaltzahn]

@angijones Is this a hoax?

[Kathleen Maltzahn @KPMaltzahn]

@angijones Hmmm, I’ve just gone down Cecil st & can’t see it. Where in Cecil st?

[Kathleen Maltzahn @KPMaltzahn]

@angijones The artist appears to be from the US. Is this really in Fitzroy?

[Kathleen Maltzahn @KPMaltzahn]

@angijones Where in Fitzroy is this? Do you know anything about how it came to be there?

The Greens’ campaign review should actively seek out views from the many many previously loyal, dedicated & long-standing members who were driven out of the party or left in despair because of the (new) internal authoritarianism and rejection of core Green values & priorities.

See Fiona Vera Gray’s book, Right Amount of Panic https://t.co/G20pvPVaz3 & @ProfLizKelly’s idea of safety work.

[Kathleen Maltzahn @KPMaltzahn]

Women constantly do ‘safety work’ to avoid sexual violence, knowing odds are we’ll be blamed if that fails. We have to have the (impossible) ‘right amount of panic’.

And if we’re angry when our fear is trivialised or ignored, god help us.

So I guess Elon Musk’s seemingly new-found concern about child sexual exploitation and rape means he’ll be stopping X being used to facilitate it, and will be pushing his fellow tech tsars to do the same? #cse #csa #groomingangs

The #Grampians an inferno, the exquisite Victoria Valley scorched and our ‘leaders’ still not just failing to act with urgency but lying about it, their toadying up to planet wreckers still wanton. They want to get elected but they refuse to govern.

@KarenWalkerCM Glad you’re safe, Karen. So awful to think of the Vic Valley & Grampians burning.

1/ We’ve been privileged to hear from @BuchananLiana on the response to child sexual abuse and exploitation, “I ask that we continue to remember all the different groups who might be less likely to get our attention in these reform efforts”

[Kathleen Maltzahn @KPMaltzahn]

Gone to the other side. See you there.

We are recruiting for a Senior Review and Inquiries Officer to review files and current policy, and draft inquiry reports recommending improvements to out-of-home-care and child protection. Applications close 18 November https://t.co/TsyD4pwlwk

These types of affairs:

- break trust in their office
- are secretive
- can be coercive
- destroys all professionalism at work

And it’s never the MP that leaves, it’s always the staffer.

Maybe that should change.

It’s time for the culture of parliament to change

[Luke Hilakari @lhilakari]

Sam is not the first MP to have an affair with a staff member.

This isn’t blurring work boundaries, what most MPs fail to acknowledge is the power imbalance that exists.

Bosses give directions.
