just another woman wondering why, how, when, where and what do we do about it?

[stranger @strangerous10]

@at_revenge Angus Taylor and Pauline Hanson won’t love it though. They rarely see eye to eye with economists, scientists, or anyone qualified in anything really.

Prominent economist Saul Eslake demolishes LNP’s ‘aspiration’ myth saying their 1999 CGT discount failed to build a nation of entrepreneurs & shareholders, in fact, those rates only fell since 1999, while “disproportionately favouring richer & older Australians”💥 #auspol

Thank you @Consortiumnews
Honoured to receive the Gary Webb Award. Gary’s career & life were destroyed by the mainstream press for exposing the truth. He was later vindicated by the CIA’s own internal investigation. Τhanks to colleagues @PeterCronau @MichaelWestBiz @Wendy_Bacon and Senator @DavidShoebridge and former Head of SBS Television Sawsan Madina and others, for your tributes, and your commitment to holding power to account..

Has everyone seen this 👀😩👇

Lots of people don't know how Pauline Hanson votes.. Frightening stuff if you are struggling, it will only get much worse voting for Gina's girl 😔

The Australian and associated tabloids have long ceased being newspapers. They are political organs operating with a news facade.

Jacinta Allan fires back at Pauline Hanson for aligning herself with misogynists & ‘barracking for the bullies’💥
“I choose to fight them”
Says she’ll keep calling it out bcoz young people need to see sexist behaviour “condemned, not barracked.”💯 #auspol

ABC hypocrisy, sacked Lattouff for sharing post on genocide in Gaza but are backing in Charlie Pickering for giving his “own view" after he platformed known DV abuser/fmr IDF member Avi Yemini to attack DV survivor Grace Tame. No lobby complaints here, Pickering is safe🙄#auspol

It’s time for the Federal Police to investigate Australians who are returned Israeli Defense Force soldiers.

“Any Australian who has committed war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide must be held to account and face justice.

“The international rules-based order must be respected and upheld, and the Australian Government must honour its obligations to bring accountability for perpetrators of these grave crimes.

“The impunity must come to an end.”

No matter who you support in politics, it is completely unacceptable to demean, objectify, belittle or offend women.

The sexist campaign targeting Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan is a disgrace and the people behind these materials should withdraw them immediately.

[Rick @colonelhogans]

Gina Reinhardt took her own flesh and blood to court over money.

Her own kids.

You honestly think she gave Hanson $2 million in cash and a brand new plane and doesn’t want anything in return?

If you do you’re more stupid than the poor person living in a trailer park who bought a Trump phone believing it was American made.

[Jacinta Allan @JacintaAllanMP]

Sexism just has no place in our political debate, full stop.

A billboard truck using sexist language has been driving around Melbourne as part of a secret and well-funded political campaign.

People are entitled to disagree with me. That’s democracy.

But I care that this attacks women.

And I care about who’s next.

The political debate in this country has become corrosive over the last few years.

So much so that behaviour which would once have been condemned is now just another part of life.

Media don’t call it out.

They report on this like it’s fair game, like it’s normal.

But nothing about this is normal.

If you don’t take a stand against this creeping culture, it has a tendency of taking over.

You only have to look at America to know that.

I cannot stand back and let Victoria become a place where this sort of language is fair game against any woman at work - or any woman in leadership.

If we don’t draw a line, the line will keep moving.

At the end of the day, I just want my kids to grow up knowing that women deserve the same respect as men.

I want girls to know that they should never need to aim lower just to feel safer.

And I want boys to know that they don’t have to put women ‘in their place’ to make their own way in the world.

Sexism hurts everyone.

If the media won’t call out it, I will.

Pioneering Australian doctor Richard Scolyer dies after brain cancer battle https://t.co/z83pX4S5VQ

[Wazza from Melbourne @Melbourne_says]

The names change.

Julia Gillard.
Annastacia Palaszczuk.
Jacinta Allan.

The abuse stays the same though. I see it everyday here.

And it is so disheartening that we live in a country with a media that has taught people who to hate, and been allowed to get away with it. 👇🏼

Abortion is not the business of legislators, especially those trying to buy a stairway to office (and heaven) on the back of women’s suffering. Abortion is women’s business. Their body, their right, their choice. https://t.co/1J6oGYP3yt

[ellenback #factsnotfeelings @ellenback]

A dick with a dishonourable appendage, surely even Pauline has had a gutful

[Rick @colonelhogans]

Barnaby Joyce wants to drag women back into the stone ages with extreme anti abortion laws.

From a bloke who couldn’t leave his dick in his pants, banging his younger staffer, while betraying his wife and four daughters.

All while ripping off the taxpayers.

[💧Michael West @MichaelWestBiz]

@DavidShoebridge they tried to charge us almost $2k for a couple of hours of court transcripts - evidence about ourselves. just AI anyway, truly disgraceful

[ellenback #factsnotfeelings @ellenback]

@MichaelWestBiz @YaThinkN @DavidShoebridge @MRowlandMP surely this is a simple change for the people, break the contract, create an ai transcript agent in house, win.

Banning gambling ads to protect young Australians is not a left vs right issue.

We’re seeing yet again vested interests control of the major parties meaning the Australian people lose.

MPs across the Parliament support stronger action on gambling ads. If there was a conscience vote on a full ban, as was recommended by the Murphy Review, it would pass.

The only business I engaged in was selling my paintings. I averaged about $225k per year in income over the 4 years of my Dad’s presidency. Now you may be outraged by that but where is your outrage over Don Jr opening a private members club next to the White House called the Executive Branch club where the stated purpose is to rub shoulders with senior White House officials and Cabinet members. And the initiation fee is $500,000. Where is your outrage over Peter Navarro calling from inside the WH to push the Pentagon to grant the largest loan it has ever made to any company for a rare earth startup backed by Don Jr. Where is your outrage when Donald Trump took a Boeing 747 from the government of Qatar. Four hundred million dollars. Over a billion dollars in tax payer money for upgrades. The most valuable gift any foreign government has ever given the United States. And when he leaves office, it goes to his library.
He sued his own IRS for ten billion dollars and settled. And the settlement declares the IRS, and I am quoting the filing here, is “forever barred” from pursuing its audits of him, his family, and his companies.
