@theheraldsun Caling the little penguins is heightist and only reinforces harmful stereotypes. You should refer to them as their traditionalist name of fairy penguins. Do better.
@GigaBasedDad Now, core costs like food and housing... well that's a different story.
Now luxuries are readily attainable and necessities are unaffordable.
@GigaBasedDad A tourist class return transatlantic air ticket in 1965 was $7000+, inflation adjusted. Today we pay around $1000. It's an unfair comparison.
Tourist class then was a luxury on par with business class today, with air travel available to far more people today.
@SocialDayze @goodfoodgal Why didn't Egypt take any when there were tens of thousands lining up at the Rafah crossing?

@emilysnowau@NationFirstAust We know the exact sequence of headlines:
1. 3 days of grief and sadness.
2. "We cannot respond to hate with hate"
3. The far right is wrong for pouncing on this isolated event.
4. Islamophobia is on the rise in the wake of the Bondi tragedy. More needs to be done to combat it.
@emilysnowau@NationFirstAust We have permission structures in society that will excuse and rationalise islamic terror in a way that wasn't, and shouldn't, used for the Christchurch massacre.
