@MrsButters Maybe the good senator could look into the reasons why maternal death rate is high among black women and do something about it.

101 times I've penned this posts this year.
ONE HUNDRED AND FUCKING ONE.
And not one of them has been easy to write - or easy to read!
A woman was stabbed to death this morning in Langwarrin, Victoria. A male is in custody. He is known to her and believed to be her partner.
The homicide squad is investigating.
She is the 101st woman killed this year.
I thought we would get through Christmas without losing another sister - but here we fucking are.
Men are just emboldened to kill as our PM stays silent, media erases victims and the safety net holes keep getting bigger and deeper.
This is an epidemic that almost no one wants to recognise or rectify.
It's fucked.
