Abortion may be legal but it is still not accessible. This must change. https://t.co/JtCybzm8D0

From murder and driving people to suicide down to rorting taxpayers, people in public office in Australia can do whatever they like and never be held to account

David Littleproud tells Sky his view on Abortion is whilst women should have a “right to choose”, what he would “like to see” is “encouraging women to go full term”🤨 Says it’s “healthy for democracy” to have Coalition MPs against Abortion & against a women’s right to choose.🙄

"Last month, France’s spot electricity price went negative as cheap renewable energy flooded its power market... French officials shut down three nuclear reactors because their power could not compete against ultra-cheap renewables."

I'm an ARC Future Fellow in Sociology, multi-award winning author of 14 books, former lawyer, an Australian Muslim Palestinian Egyptian intimately connected with grassroots community- and yet in the past 7 months I have had a mere 1 invitation for an interview across all platforms of our national broadcaster. That was @abcnews in October 2023. Since then nothing.
ABC radio- zero invites
ABC Q&A- I have not been invited back onto the program since May 2021 and not for want of my name being pitched. There has only been 1 other Palestinian guest, @iamthenas, and he has only been invited once despite the fact Gaza has been a topic in multiple episodes.

This is deliberate, calculated censorship and erasure. There is no question about my qualifications to speak on what is happening, on my scholarly expertise and lived experience. I can run circles around the people on this episode of Insiders for example.
This is anti-Palestinian racism in its purest form. It is racial segregation by our national broadcaster which platforms Anglo guests to offer their ideologically loaded opinions whilst Palestinian experts are excluded and deliberately ignored.
That I am not surprised by the ABC's institutional racism (hello @antoinette_news ) is not the point of this tweet. My point is that we will keep on writing the record of the ABC's role as handmaiden to genocide. We will keep on recording this history of racial segregation and the names of the people who make the decisions and the bystanders who chose silence over principled journalism.
So ABC, are you brave enough to invite me?

From me today on ⁦@abcsport⁩ / ⁦@abcnews⁩ : “for too long, the AFL men's competition — and the ecosystem that surrounds it — have endorsed “redemptive" narratives when it comes to "good blokes" involved in the game.” #AFL https://t.co/CAt9honCnE

@Kate_ohalloran @abcsport @abcnews Great article Kate, and spot on! 👏

I’ve worked with mentally unwell men for 30 yrs as a social worker. I can tell you from my experience this doesn’t mean a man will then be a perpetrator of violence. We need to not conflate the 2, stigmatise or use mental health to excuse male violence or mask misogyny a/g women

[Zoe Daniel (she/her) @zdaniel]

Australia, we have a problem. A men’s problem, with women.

And women cannot carry the responsibility for it anymore.

We need to do more to change the culture among men and boys.

Enough is enough.

What have we, in Australia, learnt in the past few days? (And by learnt what I really mean is what have we not learnt despite over two decades of activists, scholars, lawyers and community writing and speaking about this?) A 🧵

Although there are now no simple solutions, the housing crisis in Australia can be traced back to a handful of catastrophic policy choices made by John Howard and recommended by his friends. (And not just housing!)

By Mike Seccombe.

[Purplepingers ☭ @purplepingers]

Some things we already know but now have some data:

1. No one can buy a house unless you’re old.

2. Allowing us to use our superannuation to put a deposit down on a house will only benefit those who were already able to buy a house in the first place.
