Look, I know the world is on fire and this is very small beans in the scheme of things, but I have just discovered that Twinnings have discontinued Russian Caravan tea, which is maybe the only thing which has stood between me and a complete psychotic break for years and WHHHYYYYY
HOLY CRAP 🚨🚨
Albania’s anti-corruption prosecutors just froze Kushner’s dirty assets in the $4 billion resort fraud probe.
The jewish-linked land grab on the Albanian coast is collapsing under fraud investigations and furious public protests.
Personally if I was ambushed by a known provocateur outside my workplace at the far-right protest attacking my workplace I would simply decline to be interviewed

Jillian Segal:
"I've totally distanced myself from the Executive Council of Australian Jewry."
Shoebridge:
"Who are those guys sitting at desk on either side of you?"
Segal:
"Education experts from the ECAJ here to help transform Australian school kids"
That's what she said
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

The wealthiest citizens in the English speaking world
This is what the whiners call “Socialism”🤦♂️
Avi Yemini is a former IDF soldier and convicted domestic violence perpetrator. He has targeted Grace Tame, a sexual abuse survivor, for criticism after she was hired to host a new ABC podcast on autism due to her previous statements supporting Palestinian resistance
A British national living in Southampton had her car and property damaged. She said,
“I’ve never felt so unsafe in my house.”
She did not feel unsafe because of Sikhs, Muslims or migrants but because of other British nationals, a section of whom were far right.
The next person who labels the budget “communist” should have their house seized and turned into public property, so that they can learn what communism actually is.
AstraZeneca's decision to withdraw this drug from the PBS will affect 1000's of women in Australia living with endo & breast cancer.
They say it's a "commercial decision" but are leaving the higher dose used for prostate cancer as is.
I asked questions at Estimates yesterday on behalf of Canberrans who had contacted me, worried about what their treatment looks like in the future.
I urge AZ to front up and explain what's happening - women with breast cancer deserve transparency here.

Nowhere in the source post is ‘DEI’ mentioned, because DEI is specifically American terminology - it’s now been weaponised by the US far right and it’s being pushed on the UK by US far right actors. This account is either acting in bad faith or isn’t British.
This was HEARTBREAKING
Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, who volunteered in Gaza, exposed Israel:
"I held a lifeless child in my arms. There was no equipment to save him. This is not a war; it is a massacre of the innocent."
BHP proceedings against MWM have been discontinued by agreement of the Court and BHP. The Simon Turner defence continues. We are back to being a court reporter!
Get this Segal well away from our education system
Unelected unwanted and universally despised by decent people who refuse to be dictated to by this overreaching ‘envoy’ for Israel
Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”
