Embarrassing and necessary

Not feeling the resounding hope that refugees will be "settled" in PNG & offshore detention closed. Australia is abandoning people we have kept captive for 8+years. We're not upholding our obligations. We are externalising refugee policy. It's not okay. #auspol

@TamaraOudyn THANK YOU!

@TamaraOudyn I need to know where your blazer was from tonight? #important

Australian Politics: Where accepting anonymous money results in more career repercussions than allegedly raping a woman and covering it up.

Is Covid/lockdown ect the external event?

[Alessandra @alessburato]

Rereading The Wife Drought (👌🏽read) for fem-com & @annabelcrabb predicts that it will take ‘an external event’ to shift men’s behaviours (domestic contributions). Very spooky reading this during a pandemic that has seen men house bound & confronted with the unpaid work of women.

Sexual abuse of children or otherwise bases itself in and takes advantage of power imbalance. Therefore it thrives in institutions, often religious, where absolute power is bestowed to individuals #4corners

A wise lawyer named Elle Woods once pointed out that every ejaculation not seeking an egg could be considered reckless abandonment and I just think maybe Texas should take a look at that one

This thread 💔💔

[Alessandra @alessburato]

We worry about the women in our lives becoming/ being victims/survivors. We rarely worry about the men our lives being the perpetrators. #qanda

Would like to see any perpetrator of #dv forced to seek shelter rather than the victims. #qanda

[Alessandra @alessburato]

“Women’s issues” is often just issues men have created that women have had to manage, mitigate and endure. We need to reframe the focus #QandA

[Alessandra @alessburato]

I’ll believe the government is serious about confronting the sexual/physical/mental violence women often have to endure when they hold themselves accountable for the culture they’ve enabled in PARLIAMENT that has put women at risk for far too long #QandA

[ponderous @pondero60943260]

GRACE TAME is every Australian woman on QandA right now. #qanda

[Alessandra @alessburato]

@TamePunk bringing the much needed heat #QandA

[Alessandra @alessburato]

If you haven’t watched the two part report yet into #FoxNews and he #Trump presidency by #4corners do yourself a favour and get on it. It’s another perfect representation of why a #MurdochRoyalCommission is needed.

Vax1 is done ✔️ and so far I feel more than fine. In fact I have a ridiculous amount of energy (enough to finalise my midsem paper) - if that’s a result of the vaccine, hook it to my veins #CovidVaccine #Pfizer
