I'll just leave this here. *776 Aussies under the age of 45 died after receiving a #Robodebt from the Australian government Canberra.
It makes the Pink Batts scandal look like playschool.

Mon épouse et moi avons appris avec beaucoup de tristesse la disparition de Bernadette Chirac.

Première dame, elle a marqué notre Histoire aux côtés du président Jacques Chirac, la vie de la Corrèze où elle était élue, le destin de millions de malades anonymes aussi, grâce à son engagement intime et constant.

Bernadette Chirac a changé tant de vies avec discrétion et obstination. Une grande dame de cœur s’en va. La Nation partage le chagrin de sa famille, de ses proches, de tous ceux qui l’aimaient.

Sure, here's a concise hypothetical 10-point list based on historical patterns:

1. Policies favor foreign power's goals.
2. Foreign-linked individuals in power.
3. Media pushes foreign power's narrative.
4. Economy tied to foreign dependencies.
5. Dissent against foreign power censored.
6. National identity eroded in schools.
7. Threats from foreign power ignored.
8. Sovereignty given up via policy.
9. Defenses weakened for foreign benefit.
10. Control framed as positive progress.

@MikeCarlton01 @IzzyRascal21 This reminds me of Yassmin Abdel Magied, a brilliant young woman hounded & black listed by the same forces that want Grace Tame silenced. I hope the ABC stands up to the criticism & the demands for Grace to be stood down, I think they’d find most of Aust would stand with them

Mehreen Faruqi lists some of the abuses endured by Australian women detained off the flotilla
“sexually assaulted, cabled tied & beaten”
“Raped”
“Syringed with an unknown substance”
“Guns inserted inside them”
“Repeatedly kneed”
“Stripped of clothes”

Absolutely reprehensible.

Pocock presses Wong who says we all ‘prefer' an independent inquiry into abuse of Aussies off a flotilla but will instead push for a ‘swift’ & ‘transparent’-internal Israel led investigation🙄

Pocock ‘if we prefer an independent one, why has the govt not asked Israel?’🔥#auspol

[stranger @strangerous10]

@quarklady_1 @DavidShoebridge Yes and the govt needs to explain why they are so adamant AUKUS is apparently all going great when the chief of navy who saw the raw data can’t bring himself to say that things are on track.

Whoa. If you’ve missed just how nasty and twisted all this is, here’s the background.

Charlie Pickering under fire for interview with 'Jewish Nazi' who doxxed ABC employee https://t.co/6ywsAtAuzk

[Wazza from Melbourne @Melbourne_says]

Grace Tame being called 'problematic' by a bloke who happily did an interview with another bloke who was convicted of beating a woman is breathtaking.

Dunno about you, but #IStandWithGraceTame on this one.

[Colin Lyttle @LyttleColin]

Is the ABC going to sanction suspend Pickering for vilifying Grace Tame? Silence on this issue is complicity and the ABC needs to make a stand for independence, honesty and truth in journalism.

[Louise Greene @GreeneLouiseAus]

I am absolutely fed up with the relentless targeting of Grace Tame.

Let's be clear. There is a difference between fair criticism and a public pile-on. What we keep seeing directed at Grace is not constructive debate. It is constant scrutiny, personal attacks, outrage cycles and a level of judgment that seems reserved for women who dare to speak too loudly, too honestly or too unapologetically.

Grace Tame survived child sexual abuse. She helped change laws. She gave a voice to countless survivors. She has spent years doing work that most people would never have the courage to do.

Yet the attacks never seem to stop.

A few weeks ago it was the Prime Minister taking aim at her. Now it's Charlie Pickering. Before that, countless commentators, columnists and social media critics. Different names, same pattern.

And frankly, it disgusts me.

No, women in public life should not be immune from criticism. Nobody is. But there is a world of difference between criticism and the kind of sustained public hounding that seeks to diminish, discredit and exhaust someone.

As someone who has experienced public judgment and media attacks, I know how destructive these campaigns can be. They reduce human beings to caricatures. They erase context. They encourage outrage while ignoring the very real emotional toll on the person at the centre of it.

What troubles me most is that women who survive violence are so often expected to be perfect. The moment they become angry, outspoken, political, imperfect or inconvenient, they are treated as fair game.

Grace Tame has contributed more to the conversation about sexual abuse and survivor advocacy in this country than most of her critics ever will.

Maybe it's time some of the men lining up to take shots at her stopped and asked themselves a simple question:

Why are they spending so much energy attacking a survivor instead of supporting the change she helped create?

Enough. #gracetame #charliepickering

Someone just pointed out to me that passing us worn out subs, at fabulous cost to us as well, is an excellent way to get rid of the huge cost of decommissioning these nuclear nightmares.
How stupid must Australia look.
