I really want this to be last ever tweet.

Liza Minnelli has outlived Henry Kissinger. The former Secretary of State was 100 yrs old and lived much longer than many people had hoped.

Police have avoided a formal finding by the LECC by announcing they have stopped using the STMP against young people, effective from October 2023, and will cease using it against adults from December 2023.

It recognises the STMP policy followed by police was unreasonable, unjust, oppressive and improperly discriminatory in its effect on children and young people and resulted in police acting unlawfully.

Now that the film is out I do want to say that I feel that this critique points to what the film does best.
With his coup de cinema at the end Scorsese aligns his “muses” with himself and his audience (white men) and says we aren’t the heroes. We are the villains. We always were.

Why are some governments trying to ban this Palestinian chant?

And what does “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” actually mean?

**MEDIA STATEMENT

NO to more Royal Commissions YES to hearing our solutions

[Greg Jericho @GrogsGamut]

There will be a lot of talk in the coming days about the referendum campaigns, but we should not forget that the No campaign lied totally.

It lied, everyone associated with it lied, everyone associated with it operated in bad faith.

This will be the model for every election.

Senate Inquiry - Restoring our Rivers Bill: As much as possible of the 450 gigalitres should be purchased in the Northern Basin, where it will bring the greatest environmental, cultural and social benefits.

Surreal hearing politicians like Bridget McKenzie grill Qantas Chair and CEO on matters of “integrity”.

[Senator Briggs (Biblically Accurate) @Briggs]

How could some rich kid, who grew up in this house, possibly enlighten me about the issues of disparity facing Blackfullas? Go do a podcast ya fkn dweeb.

[Lynore K. Geia @LynoreGeia]

@chatGpete_ Yes, Peta, it's a 'constant heart load' to carry. Soul destroying.

Being an Aboriginal &/or Torres Strait Islander woman in Australian Public Life is one of the most violent and brutal places to exist. Our Mums, Sisters, Aunts, Cousins, Friends and Peers cop it sweet no matter where or for what we stand for. A yes makes it possible to keep going

[The Saturday Paper @SatPaper]

Editorial: Marcia Langton was not judging “No” voters, although she would be within her rights to do so. She was warning against the specious arguments and base fears that propel the “No” campaign. For this she is now being punished. https://t.co/KWkV1tELTX

yeah but nah @FinancialReview

[Jenny Leong MP 梁珍妮 @jennyleong]

In practice this means that “affordable housing” in Waterloo, where median rent for a 2-bedroom apartment is currently $950/week, could be rented out at as much as $776/week. Affordable housing must be linked to income - not market rent.

@amymcquire Incredible that no one is asking questions about the influence of mining companies in this whole thing, and whether there is any connection with the abrupt resignation of McGowan only two months ago. All the references to farmers and landowners but not mining interests is so weak
