Big success for The Grace Tame Foundation - "relationship" gone from every jurisdiction's legal definition of persistent child sexual abuse. Because the intersection between a paedophile and his victims is not, ever, a relationship. https://t.co/uiaIhKAGz9 via @ABCaustralia

This morning, Ben Fordham released the name (against her knowledge or will) of a woman at the centre of a formal complaint against a NSW Senator.

His behaviour in doing this is disgraceful, abusive and unbelievably cruel.

He needs to be sacked. If you agree, go to the #BinBen Campaign on the Campaign Data page of our website (https://t.co/1a66H8f4bR) and get in touch with some of the advertisers.

Do it today.

Statement from the woman:

“I am distressed today to learn that I have been named by Radio 2GB as the person who made a formal and confidential complaint regarding abuse by a NSW Member of Parliament spanning more than 5 years.

My complaint to the Liberal Party was in relation to serious concerns including behaviour in the workplace, in the party and in political interactions. It includes allegations that I was physically threatened and received hundreds of demeaning, degrading, and abusive texts.

During that five-year period, I was continually exposed to highly aggressive barrages of verbal abuse, which included threats to destroy my reputation if I spoke up. I am beyond distressed that I have had to disclose even a small portion of these details. I sought to create a confidential process that would enable natural justice and provide me with safety as I navigate this process. I would be grateful if the media would respect my privacy at this time.”

I think the reason why autistic people like me cannot imitate the movements of others is because it is very difficult to watch and move at the same time. When I am looking, I feel like I am only conscious of my eyes.

The lie has been exposed. The Morrison Gov & now the Albanese Gov have hid behind the lie that they have no duty of care or responsibility to the 75 refugees still trapped in PNG because we have no ongoing arrangements. FOI documents have revealed a secret PNG funding deal exists

The weirdest thing about #adhd is that you can tell people you have it and they sort of SEEM to understand, and then later are surprised and upset when you do all the things that a person with ADHD would do. Like bro what did you think I meant when I said I had ADHD?

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

One of the main ways misogyny and patriarchy dominate us all is that we’re raised to believe men have intrinsic value as living humans but women have value only or mainly via relationships to others.

This is why the #WorldCup2023 commentators (even the women) repeatedly describe Aussie players in terms of their status or non-status as mothers.

It’s an insidious and at least partly unconscious feature of how all women in the public eye are described: via marital/partner status or via whether they’ve given birth. It’s so ingrained we even officially label most women (but not men) using Miss or Mrs.

Message to all media reporting on women’s sport: NOTICE YOU’RE DOING IT AND FUCKING STOP IT.

Oh, and congrats and go @TheMatildas!

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

How in the fuck do we live in a country where women make up more than half the population and pay almost half all government taxes and sports club memberships yet STILL a group of shitfucked men at the @AFL (which sucks up enormous dollars in government funding) were able to quietly refuse to accommodate a huge international women’s sporting event simply because it might slightly inconvenience a domestic men’s sporting event and this news caused NO media push-back or outrage at any fucking time since …

Something has to change

I recently visited a local public high school & was horrified at the state of disrepair.

It was not something I expected to see in Australia.

Our kids deserve better - a lot better

For those who don't know (and apparently there are many who don't)...

Autism has 3 levels, according to the DSM.

These levels represent how much support a person needs.

Level 1: Requires support
Level 2: Requires substantial support
Level 3: Requires very substantial support

After yesterday’s exposure of the tactics of the No campaign to use bots to flood social media, today it’s revealed tthey’re running multiple fake news channels, promoting contradictory misinformation in their strategy of ‘finding any lie that will stick’.

Shameful behaviour.

[Jessica McCabe @HowtoADHD]

ADHDers often feel like we “should” be able to do something because ✨ we’ve done it before ✨ or that our difficulty with focus/productivity isn’t a real disability b/c sometimes we can do it just fine.

GUYS. LADIES. GENTLETHEMS.

THAT IS THE DISABILITY.

The INCONSISTENCY.

What is ignored or neglected by the media -- but will be studied by historians?

Here's the full list of 25 examples:

[Step and fetch @FetchStep]

We know why David Speers was sent to Canberra by @abcnews .Its to get Peter Dutton elected as the Prime Minister of Australia .
Dutton has been mentioned 487 times since Speers was given Probyn's job
Albanese has been mentioned 125 times

Just saw this thread by @NomeDaBarbarian posted on tiktok and CAN A NEUROTYPICAL PERSON CONFIRM BC WHAT?!? You mean you do things w/o actively making a new choice to do it every time you do it and you dont have to exert the same energy to make yourself do it every time?

When you have a learning disabled child, the use of the R-word - in any context - is like a knife in your heart & soul. Helping our children navigate a world that doesn't understand them and moves too fast for them is our life's work. This hostility to parents is desperately sad.

[McJulie, dissociating @mcjulie]

Something just occurred to me, as we're dealing with aging parents family stuff, is that the evangelical Church is terrible for families.
