Ngarabal woman living on Whadjuk Noongar land. “No blak child is ever in the wrong place at the wrong time on their own land” - Mechelle Turvey (Nov. 2022)
A few weeks ago we broke news Thales and the Australian gov are making explosives for the IDF. I assume you've noticed mainstream press hasn't followed this up? Anyway, I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything, but Thales is a sponsor of the National Press Club.
@ThrillaRilla369 I wouldn’t care if it wasn’t empty. The stalls are locked and I would much prefer that scenario than the girls being exposed to men at a urinal
@PhillipCoorey So much of my tax paying dollars goes to stuff I don’t utilise. Apparently private schools get a fair whack of my taxes and I know which one I would prefer to subsidise.
Oh my dear God. What the fucking #Robodebt is this??
I just watched the last hour of the NDIS bill hearing and watched as @SenatorJordon, who has the patience of a saint, explain the actual NDIS and what a job interview looks like to a bunch of senior bureaucrats who have been called in to explain the enormous clusterfuck that is the plan for the former NDIS, which will harm hundreds of thousands of disabled people. At the end, he LOSES it. Justifiably. Go watch:)
And then I get curious about who one guy is so I look at a govt table which says he’s now working in and a different name catches my eye.
Russell de Burgh.
‘While working as the branch manager of the Pensions and Integrity branch of the Department of Social Services, De Burgh was identified by the #Robodebt Royal Commission as one of the officials who made "false representations" regarding the lawfulness and operation of the Robodebt program.’
And now this man has a very senior role in Health, rolling out cuts that will end lives and livelihoods in exchange for AUKUS submarines.
I do not know why I am still shocked, yet I am. #RoboNDIS
Canberra is running a genoside protection racket.
“Juliet Lamont came home from being raped and tortured by a foreign military..
“And her own country ransacked her luggage, seized her phone and laptop, and told her she was under arrest unless she surrendered her passcodes.
“Her government did not protect her. Her government investigated her.”
‘Israeli soldiers raped her. Australian customs threatened her’

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.
This is the article: https://t.co/YkZrpqBWBQ
“FM #Wong was scathing of a request by #Shoebridge whether she would meet with the trio so they could detail their abuse.
“I don't respond to requests that are made in a political forum like this from a political party like yours," #SBS
Unbelievable! The height of arrogance!!
@HawthornFC Frustrating doesn’t get close. Did the same against the pies when the opportunity to put some distance between top 4 and others was up for grabs
Barnaby Joyce, with the morals & behaviour of a fucking rabid hyena, lying legless drunk
in a Canberra gutter howling “fucking cunt” into his phone, now dares to publicly lecture Grace Tame on what’s expected of her?
WTAF?????
