Social conscience - can get too caught up & have to retreat. KINDNESS costs nothing. Left of centre but NOT a PARTY member. Mum of 4 amazing caring young adults

@JustKimfromoz@PaulineHansonOz@SenatorWong@MehreenFaruqi@SenatorPayman Pauline pretending she gives a rat’s about rights of Muslim women!
Pauline doesn’t even care about older women like her
Or those who suffer family violence
All because of her ex DIL whom she denigrated under Parliamentary Privilege (another first) which made her a DV expert?
@Monique31707000@craigkellyAFEE Yes we’ll never agree that Pauline Hanson is good for Australia or those who are left of centre in politics are as you describe
Medicare was implemented by those on the left side of politics - as were many women’s rights in Australia

I wish you well too.
@Monique31707000@craigkellyAFEE It’s in all the dictionaries - Collins, Oxford, Miriam-Webster..
It exists and it’s real.
Condemning extremist sects of Islam is not islamophobia - blanket condemnation of people because they peacefully practice their Islamic faith is..
@RobertS1522200@CaldronPool Pauline believes Australian women lie about Domestic Violence…
She never mentions the women and children who have been killed by violent men

@hereticaliberal@craigkellyAFEE@SenatorWong I hear where you are coming from..
But young people I work with & talk to came to Australia for a better life
Young Muslim women are far more assertive than I at their age
But Australia wasn’t independent-woman friendly in the 70s
Couldn’t buy a house/car without a man’s consent!
@craigkellyAFEE Pull the other one Craig!
Neither you OR Pauline give a rat’s about the rights of Muslim women.
Never did and never will - those of us who are older have listened to Pauline dog whistle for 30 years..
@hereticaliberal@craigkellyAFEE@SenatorWong I’m sorry you’re so full of anger, fear and hate.
Perhaps your children and grandchildren will be able to help change the world for the better..
@Stewie8t@ProfJoannaHowe@PaulineHansonOz Except Pauline never has - nor ever will - care about the rights of Muslim women!
Believe us we’ve watched her dog whistle for over 30 years!
@ProfJoannaHowe@PaulineHansonOz You’re young & have no idea of Pauline’s deep seated Islamophobia.
Was it about denying her free speech?
Or that for 30 yrs Australians have watched Pauline pull these stunts & we’re tired of it.
Believe us she hasn’t suddenly had an epiphany & started caring about Muslim women!
@hereticaliberal@craigkellyAFEE@SenatorWong Sounds like your life experience has made you suspicious and anxious.
I am so sorry that that has happened to you.
But there are thousands of Muslims who came to escape the shackles of the extremes of their religion.
There are haters but often they have no religious affiliation.
@Monique31707000@craigkellyAFEE Thank you x
I finally did 20 yrs ago
But 20 yrs ago put downs & gaslighting wasn’t seen as abuse
I was very fortunate that a housing officer with SA Housing Trust listened to me & helped me with my bond & 2 weeks rent
They got their bond back in full
I will be forever grateful💙
@Monique31707000@craigkellyAFEE Burqas are not a ‘necessary’ discussion at this particular time in Australia at all - so few people of Muslim faith wear them.
It’s a Hanson dog whistle to Islamophobes to air their intolerance.
And those who have come to Australia to escape extremism feel unwelcome and fearful.
@Monique31707000@craigkellyAFEE No they don’t and why would you even assume that?
In every religion there are those on the extremities - that’s the nature of religion - because religions only survive because of blind faith.
But just like with Christianity the vast majority of religious people are not extremists
