I have a question that is important to me, and that burns like a white hot flame:
Have we lost the ability as a society to even recognise, let alone understand, and then to clearly and articulately tell the truth?
I truly wonder whether it is worth continuing, or, like others before me, whether one should roll over and concede that the so called elite are too hard to hold to account, and that the corruption, malfeasance and shitfuckery cannot be stopped?
Let them have their way with me.
Let my hair grow silvery and dishevilved like #Assange – thank god he is still alive! – at the long, slow, painful experience that a supposed lone truth teller takes in their journey forward, into their vision, and version, and lived reality, of their truth as they see it.
I ask, when will it stop?
How much is enough?
Do you want my tears Mr Dreyfus and Mr Albanese? Do you want to crush my bones into dust to make your bread?
When will it be enough for the institutions of government and justice to see what is really going on in the Australian Public Service, and the enormous toll and cost it inflicts upon society, not to mention the hell that is unleashed on public servants themselves?
Shame on those that continue to force this horrible predicament upon truth tellers: whether to die withering on the vine, or to go out in blaze of light proclaiming the virtues of the Goddess of Justice, and sacrificing themselves, spilling their own entrails on the altar and fire of truth?
I fear we have very little time left as a species to address this issue.
Our path forward is a choice we all have to make collectively as a society.
I truly believe we are at a turning point in our journey as humans. The writing is clearly on the wall. There is very little time left.
I leave this here as a manifesto and a record of where I stand, on this day, when I can resolutely claim that we are almost sunk, and that I have all but lost hope.
Shame on those who sell out.
And shame on those that promote and support this selling out, due to their cover up and tacit approval of institutional abuse.
I would rather die, than accede to this torture.
Instead, I am determined to fight on.
Long live Δημοκρατία.

You know what, witches?
We don’t give a tiny flying shit if the only quotes a media org is able to get after yet another murder or assault is from someone who praises the alleged perpetrator so they put that in the piece rather than saying nothing.
DON’T FUCKING SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT SOMEONE WHO MAY HAVE JUST SLAUGHTERED OR BADLY HARMED A WOMAN.
Why is this so fucking hard to understand? Why don’t they get the fucking memo that this kind of commentary (particularly where nothing complimentary is or can be said about the woman) is yet another huge part of the shitfucked #WarOnWomen? Another way men are prioritised and women ignored? Another way murderous men are valorised and centred while women are literally silenced and destroyed?
If you can’t say something better than what a “good bloke” people say he is, SAY NOTHING AT ALL. Because it doesn’t seem like he was fucking “good” to this poor dead woman, was he. WAS HE?
For fuck sake.
SO FUCKING OVER IT.

Seriously, Australians produce 67 million tonnes of rubbish per year, only about a third is recycled. Do we need more plastic crap made in China? How about worrying about the cost of essential items like food? That’s what I want headlines about. #auspol#dutton
Her name is Melissa Hoskins: a gold medal Olympic cyclist for Australia, a former world champion & a mother of two young children who died after being struck Saturday night by a vehicle allegedly driven by a pisspoor gutless couldn't care less fk you excuse of a man she trusted.
@MFWitches Still not really sure how it is bloody political or even "pro-Palestine" (oppose to anti-war) to state 'freedom is a human right' and 'all lives are equal' and call for the end to the slaughter of children.
This raised hand will be etched into the annals of history, inscribed on the page of disgrace.
This compromises the integrity of the #UNSC, which should be an instrument for peace, operating within the framework of Int'l Law rather than working against it.
@MFWitches The fact that far too many people think that locking someone up indefinitely after they have served their prison term appalls me. If it was a white Australian in a foreign country they would be screaming how wrong.
As a former member of the Walkley Board @walkleys I believe the current board should erase the 7 Spotlight interview with Bruce Lehrmann from the list of nominees for Scoop of the Year. It wasn’t a scoop. They bought it by paying Lehrmann’s rent. It was also a crap interview.
