“The sad truth is that when a woman is killed by her partner her death has a much better chance of being branded a national disgrace if she is young, good looking and white.
And that in itself is also a national disgrace.” #MediaWatch
And as for you Australian politicians: do not get ANY freaking ideas from this US election on limiting reproductive rights or women’s healthcare in Australia.
We see you, we’re watching & it’s not going to be tolerated here.
Do not even try us.

My advice, for what it’s worth: try not to be distracted by the faintly discourteous, the mildly incompetent, the harmlessly obnoxious. Roll with the delayed trains, dropped litter and misused apostrophes. Save your powder for the truly malevolent creatures now stalking the land.
Editorial: Australia is a country trapped by class. It spends more than almost any other nation maintaining a school system that divides students by their parents’ wealth. This system is the private club that leads to other private clubs. https://t.co/nv3t42gpv4

Well done for saying it, Saoirse Ronan.
End Violence Against Women & Girls💜

I ask again: if we can afford to over fund virtually every private school in Australia according to their SRS, why can’t we afford to fund every public school to at the very least their SRS? There can only be one answer. Class.
Alright, who is cutting onions? 🥹
Tonight Lyds was presented with a Booka by Evonne Goolagong, the cloak, traditionally worn by Noongar peoples, represents Lydia’s journey from Kalgoorlie to the international stage.

Imagine being so mean-spirited that you invite a young person onto national TV under the guise of celebrating a competition win but you use it to completely and utterly humiliate them instead.
That takes a special type of low life, and that low life is Peter Stefanovic.

It used to be one woman a week. But this year, an Australian woman is being violently killed every four days <�� “we must start treating this as a systemic problem, instead of seeing this as an issue caused by a few bad eggs” https://t.co/opGU9MrkjH
What this case proves beyond reasonable doubt, is that we are yet to create a country that is safe for women, where they can speak out, where they are equal.
Much ❤️ to Brittany and Lisa.
Immense courage to speak out and fight against the onslaught. https://t.co/cRZDduATas
"New figures showed that federal government funding for Tasmanian private schools increased at 1.7 times the rate of funding for public schools between 2013 and 2022."
Making our education system fairer starts with fairer funding. @AlboMP#auspol

In 2021-22 Exxon, Shell and Chevron made $42 BILLION selling gas that belongs to Australians, that the Australian Government gave them for free. None of them paid any Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT). #auspol#WApol
@Peter_Fitz One of the staggering things for me was the 6.5 million dollars of our tax payer money that Cranbrook received in just one year 😳! 20 public schools would be lucky to get that much between them all 😡
For those needing a reminder that 365 days of continuous record shattering of an ocean area covering 40 million square kilometers doesn't usually happen, see this:
We aren’t calling for Olympic pools and polo fields. We are calling for safe, high quality classrooms, libraries and learning spaces that enable teachers and students to do their best. #auspol@AlboMP@JasonClareMP
DV murder victim Kelly Wilkinson repeatedly visited police in fear. They said she was ‘cop shopping’.
Her estranged husband murdered her by tying her to the clothesline and setting her on fire.
Fuck the police.
