To all LGBTQIA+ people in Australia,
The Trump administration has begun rolling back protections for gender diverse and LGBTQIA+ people in the United States.
This is unequivocally unacceptable.
Please know that as long as I am in our nation’s parliament I will fight for you and your rights.
Today, I call on both major Australian political parties to make the same promise.
I know this is a frightening time. Know that you are loved and supported and not judged.
WATCH BEFORE MY SPEECH IS REMOVED OR SUPPRESSED ON THIS PLATFORM:
"Mr. President, on Martin Luther King Day, during President Trump's Inauguration Ceremony, the richest, most powerful man on earth threw a fervent and unmistakable "S*eg H*il" N*zi salute in the context of "assuring the future of civilization" by electing Trump.
The celebration from neo-N*zi and white supremacist groups around the world was instant and unanimous."
Wow. This made me cry!
During his visit at the National Cathedral, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde went off script and pleaded with Trump to “have mercy” on LGBTQ people in the country who are scared.
This is what courage looks like.
Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power.
RETWEET if you stand with Bishop Budde against Trump!
Echoing the teachings of Jesus and calling out Trump's cruelty, ignorance, and bigotry to his face, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde delivers a sermon for the ages. Bishop Budde stared down authoritarian fascism and said 'Not today, motherfucker.' 😳👇
Feeling down?
This thread of Robin Williams will put a smile on your face 🧵
1. Robin Williams visited paralyzed Christopher Reeves, disguised as an accented doctor, and humorously threatened a rectal exam, making Reeves laugh for the first time after his accident.
Nearly $10k raised for accommodation costs. Thank you so much for your help. And please stop calling it a feud - it's a simple tenant/landlord relationship. https://t.co/yxGioCciNS
Today, witches, we’ve not one but THREE transcripts or part-transcripts of the Kyle and Jackie O show to share.
The first is from our first listen of the Adelaide “Hour of Power” 2 weeks ago. We want to know what content from the main show makes it to this shortened broadcast into every Australian state and territory ATM. We’ll listen to Adelaide and Brisbane broadcasts every week (and others starting shortly), because witches want to know what’s being heard and where so they can tell advertisers.
The second is a shortened transcript from the main show recently. And the third is a full transcript from last week’s show.
Please read these so you understand the content broadcast. And send them to advertisers.
This is tweet 1 of 5.
_______
Kyle and Jackie O “Hour of Power” Show, Adelaide, Wed, November 13th. All quotes Kyle unless otherwise stated. Information in brackets is where needed for context. Not all quotes verbatim but close.
6pm Segment
“The blacks are always happy to tell us how! (Kyle, about dating, racist and derogatory)
“She wants to bite a hole through your boxers” (Kyle, quoting another woman)
“Did he want you to BLEEEEEP on him?” (Kyle, the missing word is pooh or shit or piss given the context of the conversation he’s having with caller Leah, who’s having an affair but the man wants her to do things she doesn’t want to)
“Fast forward to the good bit!” (Kyle, wanting to know more about Leah’s affair) … “Did the late night drive turn into car sex?” (Jackie” … “Where did the sex happen?” (Jackie)
“The guy’s in his seventies and can still get a hard-on!” (Kyle, about a caller who says he’s been having an affair for more than 50 years) … “Back when everyone was young and sweaty and filthy? Has it changed, or do ya think ah, it’s Friday night I’d better throw the leg over?” (Kyle, talking to the caller in his seventies, disparagingly, the theme here is that being with the same woman for a long time is boring and awful and having sex while older is either impossible or awful)
__________
Kyle and Jackie O Show, KiiSFM, Mon, November 18th, 2024. All quotes are Kyle unless otherwise stated. Information in brackets is where needed for context. Not all quotes verbatim but close.
8.20am Segment:
“She’s had 2 failed marriages and everything!” (Kyle about Jackie, nastily)
“I’d start by laying you on the bed naked with a blindfold on, kissing you, go slowly up the inside of your leg. Your hands are tied above your head with a silk scarf. I’m kissing you up one leg and down the other. I would rub an ice cube around your nipples, and use my tongue on you till you orgasmed. BLEEEEEEEEEP.” (Caller Geoffrey, 62, who attended Jackie’s book signing a couple of days earlier, describing what he’d do to Jackie if he could, we believe he gave this to Jackie written down in a letter at her book signing: this whole call was incredibly disturbing, creepy and stalkerish)
“She can get pretty fat though, ya gotta keep that in mind! She was Jenny Craig fat, but now she’s a weapon” (Kyle to Geoffrey, pointing out Jackie might get fat so might not be a good choice of partner) … “Did ya get wet when he read that, Jackie?” (Kyle about Geoffrey’s fantasy) … “It’s been on my computer for a while” (Geoffrey about the fantasy he read out on air after being praised for writing it) … “Would you rather an unsolicited letter like this or a dick pic?” (A male KiiSFM employee to Jackie) … “What are ya gonna offer Geoffrey? Why not sex?” (Kyle to Jackie)
9am Segment: Give Away
(Long segment about helping out a disadvantaged family, of interest because though it was great to help the family the whole segment was a 20-minute live read for Koala. This company previously pulled out of advertising so we believe this segment was planned as a way to get them back on board (they’re now regular advertisers again. It included embarrassing suck-up descriptions of the furniture by Kyle, including how much his mum loves it.)

@JosieMcskimming@ABCaustralia And yet again the only good thing on “Australia All Over” is the listeners calling in rather than the bigoted dolt with the microphone. It is absurd that he is still allowed on our airwaves. @ABCaustralia do better.
Flashback to 2021 when I wrote two letters of complaint about myself and got them published in The Age. (They stopped publishing any more letters of complaint about me after that, because they couldn't be sure it wasn't me.)
