Crisafulli government cuts funding to domestic & family violence prevention services in Queensland but refuses to explain why. It comes as Toowoomba police recover the body of a woman from bushland suspected of being murdered by her partner. #qldpol https://t.co/D4wtMvASN3

Sam never actually became an Australian citizen, but in my view he'd be a great candidate for a State funeral.
Do you agree?

I wonder what would happen if 37 Australian men and 17 children had been murdered by women in the first seven months of this year?

If male staff are in any way distracted by children's knees, I don't think they should be allowed anywhere near a school, to be honest.

The advice for the housing crisis is get roommates.

The advice for grocery costs is cook at home.

The advice for the commute is move closer to work.

The advice for debt is cut spending.

The advice for burnout is find balance.

None of these are solutions.

They are instructions for how to be poor more quietly.

More women have been murdered since 2024 by men than all Australians killed by terrorism globally in the past 100 years. Yet there are no Royal Commission’s for women still. No emergency task forces. No addresses to the nation. No days of mourning

Stop the whinging and whining about economic policy in Australia - the markets like what they see.
Since the Budget the ASX is up, govt bond yields are down & the AUD has dropped one US cent against a strong US dollar.
If the budget was as bad & dreadful as some vested interests pretend it to be, the ASX would be down, bond yields up & the would be materially lower.

Elon Musk’s cuts to U.S.A.I.D. led to some 700,000 deaths, according to Atul Gawande, a former leading administrator at the agency. Gawande, backed by recent academic studies, believes that the death toll will likely reach seven figures. The policy is not only immeasurably cruel, he argues; it is also stupid, badly undermining what remains of American soft power and prestige. Gawande explains the human cost of DOGE’s war on U.S.A.I.D.: https://t.co/pcqDGOFqdJ

The CDC under RFK Jr stopped tracking cases of cyclospora, a parasite that causes diarrhea

Now the case count, like the diarrhea it causes, is explosive

Thousands and thousands of cases across the US but no one is quite sure how many

What a shit show

Sarah Martin rubbishes Barnaby’s China conspiracy theory on Telstra’s outage & points to the real issue
“Telstra was privatised”🎯

“Telstra has fundamentally failed in its obligations to the country, coz it has no obligations to the country, only obligations to shareholders” 💥

You don’t find it weird that not a single billionaire wants to end world poverty? Doesn’t it strike you as bizarre that no one with that kind of wealth wants to be the hero who actually solves the world’s biggest problems when they literally could? Isn’t that suspicious?

We seal envelopes not because the letter contains a conspiracy, but because the contents belong exclusively to the sender and the receiver.

The "nothing to hide" argument is pure corporate/state propaganda. Privacy isn't about hiding a crime; it's about deciding who gets access to your life. It’s a boundary of power, not a shield for guilt.
