Constrained choice is no choice at all:
“the number of women who give up their careers is small, and the choice is almost never truly a free one.
Research has uncovered 3 factors that steer women in this direction: inflexible workplaces, oblivious husbands and bad public policy”

If you need more evidence that our HECS system is broken, here it is.

More and more people are reaching retirement while still carrying a HECS debt. With the price of degrees continuing to rise, and indexation being applied before HECS repayments are taken into account, the cost of education is an increasing burden for students and graduates.

We need to fix HECS.

If One Nation can't handle journalists asking difficult questions, they're not fit to hold office.

Pauline and her candidates have no fortitude, no intelligence, no resilience, and no capacity for basic scrutiny.

Any media outlet with a shred of self-respect shouldn't turn up.

Predatory:

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

“There’s absolutely zero duty of care, absolute zero care for you as a human. There’s zero care for your well-being, for your mental state. Absolutely nothing of that.”

Massive respect for lived experience advocates like Luke who've bravely shared their experiences at the Senate inquiry into the government's inadequate gambling bills. Their honesty and clarity will help protect families and communities from the harms caused by the predatory gambling industry.

The government must implement all recommendations of the Murphy Review, which includes an immediate ban on inducements.

In seeking to chose which outlets will ask her questions, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is “weakening democracy” says Peter Greste.

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

80% of Australians support a complete ban on gambling advertising. It’s time the government got on board.

Join the campaign today to call on the federal government to protect young Australians from the predatory gambling industry and free our feeds from gambling ads.

The system is sexist:

[Wazza from Melbourne @Melbourne_says]

Julia Gillard is right. Jacinta Allan, just for being a woman, was subjected to vile sexism. Day in, day out.

And for as long as we have the current media environment, women will never succeed in politics, unless you're a far right racist that is.

[Rex Patrick @MrRexPatrick]

Scott Morrison was referred to the NACC over Robodebt and the Govt paid his $461K legal fees. I won an #AUKUS nuclear waste #FOI challenge and the Govt is threatening I’ll have to pay their $150K legal fees. @AlboMP thinks that’s fair play! #auspol https://t.co/xXpdUj8bOC

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Australia’s investment in research and development has fallen to just 1.69% of GDP, well below the OECD average of 2.7%.

That gap affects our capacity to deliver better healthcare, cheaper energy, stronger industries & better environmental outcomes.

The government needs to make a significant, long-term investment in science so 🇦🇺 can build the knowledge, jobs & resilience our future depends on.

4 women have been killed in 3 days by male violence.
This is a national emergency
42 women this year.
227 women have been killed since January 2024
More than all Australians killed by one punch, terrorism, sharks, home invasions, knife, arson, and machete attacks combined

[Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research PIK @PIK_Climate]

The Holocene (the past 12,000 years) has been a uniquely stable period for the climate, with global average temperatures at 14°C, varying by only 0.5°C. @jrockstrom explains how today, human activity is the dominant force for change on Earth.

Does it make sense that all states have passed laws supportive of voluntary assisted dying (VAD) services, but the federal government won't allow advice to be given by telehealth, or scripts be sent by text or email? Terminally ill Australians from rural settings have to spend hours travelling to cities for medical appointments because our PM has a personal issue with VAD. He should allow a conscience vote on this, and not stand in the way of best practice end-of-life medical care https://t.co/IZcPVWNjs0

Women are being advised to play Disney songs when they notice a man is recording them with Meta glasses without consent because Disney music is more protected than women

[Amy Diehl, Ph.D. @amydiehl]

There are 43 women on Forbes self-made billionaires list. And 700 men. The women account for just 2.4% of America's self-made fortunes. Yes many of these women aren't making money just to make money; they plan to give away much of their wealth.

‘Hanson’s party is grievance dressed up as fortitude. It is a 2-for-1 sale at the old tropes factory. It is one woman’s prejudices seen through the wrong end of a kaleidoscope….Hanson keeps telling people who she is, but not enough of them are listening.’

An empowered, financially independent woman threatens the system:

[Amy Diehl, Ph.D. @amydiehl]

Witch-hunts targeted women with financial independence & status. In colonial New England, women from families w/o male heirs made up 64% of the females prosecuted for witchcraft, 76% of those who were found guilty & 89% of those who were executed.

Excellent analysis from Kos Samaras politicians mistake on-line engagement for electoral impact at their peril! The algorithm could halt Pauline Hanson’s rise, as it did for Jacinta Price #auspol https://t.co/m5NfqHR62Y

Los hombres ahora esperan 50/50

Pero el embarazo nunca ha sido 50/50
El parto nunca ha sido 50/50
La lactancia nunca ha sido 50/50
La carga mental nunca ha sido 50/50
El posparto nunca ha sido 50/50
Los cambios físicos nunca han sido 50/50
La maternidad nunca ha sido 50/50

[Peter FitzSimons @Peter_Fitz]

She said precisely that.
And if you don't accept domestic violence is a real crime, and don't want police to spend time on it, what automatically goes with that is that the bashing continues.
