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

After yrs of internal inquiries & cover-ups, KPMG is exposed thanks to a whistleblower. Even during the PwC scandal, KPMG who were engaged in their own corrupt behaviours, failed to notify parli despite giving evidence to multiple parli inquiries. Such dishonesty beggars belief.

Care work is often treated as somehow less "real" than making tangible goods. Nonsense. It's physically demanding, emotionally demanding, and often highly skilled. That's real work, mate.⁣

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

Funny how criticising Charlie Pickering before he converted to Judaism was ok, but now if he’s criticised it’s considered antisemitism.

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

"We have a vaccine that prevents shingles, a vaccine that markedly lowers the risk of dementia, and a vaccine that might even slow aging itself. Conveniently, these three vaccines are actually just one: the shingles vaccine. But fewer than half of eligible Americans have received the vaccine." https://t.co/VKyZMDHJdj

@PeterCronau Joyce is a hypocrite and a fool; He opposed free Gardasil, claiming it would make 12-year-olds promiscuous. Since then: zero cervical cancer cases in Australian women under 25. The science won. The girls won. #Gardasil #CervicalCancer #auspol"

It is estimated there are around 3,400 billionaires in the world. Imagine a scenario in which half of them decided to compete against Bill Gates in who could eradicate the most diseases, who could provide the most clean drinking water, who could most improve global education.

So, the disaster that was Robodebt has resulted in no lessons.

Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.

As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.

We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.

3 yrs on & Yates finally takes the fall. For gross, systemic failures, clumsy coverups & attacks on whistleblowers. These guys laugh at Parliament. Time to change the rules. Time for Labor to act on unregulated massive partnerships - who laugh all the way to the bank 🏦💸💵
