Angus Taylor yelled “arrogant prick” at the PM during question time.

Imagine the media if it was the other way round?

@Acyn @davrosz I get it now: a sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To see what he could see, see, see
But all that he could see, see, see
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea

Many of you will have noticed that last year, the UK leg of “Songs the World Will Never Hear” raised over £100K for Medecins Sans Frontieres, by giving away the proceeds of hundreds of VIP seats.
For the Australian leg of the tour, we decided we would raise money for various Women and Family Shelters and other organisations in the Domestic Violence space.
And I am very proud to finally share that the total amount was pretty damned close to $300,000.00. (We topped it up cos I like round numbers).
This allows us to donate $50K to each of these fantastic organisations:
#SecondChance
#CatherineHouse
#TooraWomen
#DeservingBetter
#WomensCommunityShelter
#NovaForWomenAndChildren
As I toured around, I had the opportunity to meet and chat with the extraordinary people providing these - sadly vital - services.
Domestic Violence is a fucking scourge, one we need to attack from all directions. Please look up these organisations if you feel you’d like to contribute, and let us dream of (and work towards) a society in which they are redundant.

One of the most heartbreaking examples of nonverbal communication to emerge from Iran.
I cannot call this a mere propaganda piece. It is the unbearable truth, laid bare through the profound art of cinematography and animation.

"Matriarchy doesn't mean women take over.
It means care becomes the center.
It means children are safe.
It means the Earth is protected.
It means no one is disposable."

🐧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Penguins pick out pebbles painted by children in hospital

Gentoo penguins at Edinburgh Zoo have been picking out pebbles hand-painted by children at a nearby hospital to present as a gift to a mate. The species is known to gather stones during breeding season to build nests. Pebbles are “a vital part” of courtship rituals and “stealing stones from neighbours is common and often leads to noisy arguments,” the zoo said

Australia's former Prime Minister Edward Gough Whitlam says that Australia's Israel lobby blackmailed his government into supporting Israel against Arab states in the Yom Kippur War (1973). Whitlam's government refused to be coerced and remained neutral.

I genuinely cannot understand how generation above me ended up here. We grew up idolising David Bowie and through him discovered Lou Reed and Iggy Pop. We lived through punk and post punk smashing gender norms in public. We watched Prince blur masculinity and desire. We danced to Boy George. We worshipped Grace Jones. Then came the flamboyance of the eighties where androgyny excess and self invention were celebrated. Gender bending was not a threat. It was art. It was freedom. It was cool.

So how did the same generation become so hostile to people simply existing outside rigid boxes. How did we go from celebrating difference to fearing it. This backlash does not come from culture or history. It comes from forgetting who we were and what we stood for. None of this is new. Get over it.

Agree? Disagree?
Quite topical today even though this interview was in 2002. #DavidBowie
