It’s actually baffling the AFLW still use a smaller ball. No players have said they like it and plenty have said they want to use a size 5.

As promised, here is my acceptance speech for the Black & Write Fellowship that I wasn't able to give today, because the event was postponed and my award rescinded (possibly under direction of QLD Arts Minister) - 1/

The AFL are effectively dismissing the Aboriginal woman whose task they made impossible: To redress systemic racism in an industry that refuses truth-telling & the necessary structural change that threatens the white boys club.

Gregory Phillips & I wrote about this in 2020:

[Matthew Klugman @Raw_Toast]

In the midst of Sir Doug Nicholls Round, you can see the AFL media lining up to blame Tanya Hosch as they work hand-in-glove to protect the white boys club from any blame regarding the systemic racism of the football industry.

[7AFL @7AFL]

"The AFL and Tanya Hosch are negotiating an incredibly highly-sensitive departure ... there's shots being fired everywhere here and it's going to get ugly."

Excellent question. As I see it, there has not been anywhere near enough change by a league and football industry that remains rife - & deeply complicit - with systemic racism.

[Wayne Ludbey @WLudbey]

April 1995 clearly upset Michael Long at the end of a media event with AFL CEO Ross Oakley after a mediation session with Damian Monkhorst who racially abused Long The controversy led to the anti vilification policy . Has any thing changed in the thirty years since ?

[Matthew Klugman @Raw_Toast]

It tells you everything you need to know about the @afl that they refuse to condemn such vile abuse.

[Crikey @crikey_news]

A sports media personality called one Jewish producer a "sell-out Jew" for speaking out against the war on Gaza. When Crikey contacted him about the messages, he doubled down. https://t.co/Wc1gVVlWeq

Wolves women are let down after learning the club didn’t apply for promotion, despite finishing second in the @FAWNL Northern Premier Division and meeting all the criteria after fighting for the top all season 💔

[Matthew Klugman @Raw_Toast]

Not surprising that it is one of the few Indigenous captains (Pearce is a proud Palawa man) providing leadership on this matter.

But of course it shows up the complicit silence of the white AFLM establishment.

https://t.co/4zkxXMhnOM

[Matthew Klugman @Raw_Toast]

Great to see at least 1 AFLM player calling out ongoing genocide.

[Jordy Silverstein @jordana_s_]

if only there were more AFL players (both M & W) - and more sportspeople generally - willing to speak up like this. all power to Alex Pearce. i hope he maintains & furthers this stance.

[Antoinette Lattouf @antoinette_news]

In Dec ‘23 I shared a @hrw post on Israel using starvation as a tool of war. ABC blamed it for my firing.
In March ‘24 ICJ warned of widespread famine ordering Israel to let food in.
In April ‘25 Israel still starves Gaza.
Hindsight? I’d share my original post again.
And again.

Pezzullo was sacked for breaching the government code of conduct and Dutton wants him back. That tells us everything we need to know about Dutton's respect for morality, decency and the law. Dutton is unfit for public office, let alone the PMship. #auspol
