"whats happening in OZ politics with the rise of One Nation & flexing of billionaire wealth & its links with global influence networks, recent analysis from Alex Fein, is worth reading. What OZ is experiencing is a foreign infiltration of our democracy,"

A major new report from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), published 10th June 2026, has found that people get annoyed at much lower noise levels than previously thought. It backs up what residents have been saying for years.

A lot of people are saying on social media today that a public campaign against Premier Jacinta Allen using the phrase “Ditch the Witch” isn’t sexist because they’ve heard of MFW and know we proudly use the word witches.

Please.

They must not have heard about how we started, which was as the result of an extraordinarily sexist text message sent by Peter Dutton to a mate, and which he accidentally sent to a woman journo instead.

They must not understand history, in which all women who were in the slightest way outspoken or different or not perfectly aligned with patriarchal requirements were called witches and often viciously murdered for their so-called sins.

And they must not understand parody, in which we witches have re-claimed the word “witch” to mean all women who protest the outrageous misogyny so many men practice with barely any constraint.

Because we’re here to clearly say that yes: the campaign against Allen is deeply sexist, just as it was sexist when it was used to denigrate then-PM Julia Gillard (pic in comments), and when it’s been used to stir up hatred towards any women with power or influence or anything other than simply being perfectly pretty and perfectly unheard.

What’s more, the campaign couldn’t be anything BUT deeply problematic, funded as it has been by a consortium of what appears to be a deeply right-wing group of men who want nothing more than to oust Allen from her job, and promoted widely in #NewsCorpse publications in ways which further harm Allen and her government:
“‘[Allan] doesn’t answer questions. She’s not accountable to everything … It’s just how people are feeling. That’s what they’re resorting to’ Puleo said. ‘That’s not a political ad. It’s basically what the Victorian public feel’.”

The campaign is despicable, and the billboards should be banned. Today. Anything else is unacceptable, and does nothing but show the endemic hatred for women among large sections of conservative men and politics in this country (and among many progressive men and groups too, but that’s another story).

For fuck sake, ban these billboards. They’re hate speech. And us calling ourselves witches as a way to parody that hate will never make the use of the word okay in other settings and formats.

That’s all.

Saying ‘I didn’t vaccinate because my body has an immune system’ is like saying ‘I didn’t go to school because I have a brain.’ The logic is about the same.

[Maryam @hell_line0]

“Women talk more than men”

In a recent study it was found that when women talked 15% of the time (and men 85% of the time), men perceived it as equal participation. And when women talked 30% of the time, men perceived it as women dominating the discussion.

Oh so love this take on ‘not war’

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

scary that polio was found in waste water in perth recently, people forget how harmful these illness can be

[Thérèse Rein 💡 @Therese_Rein]

I remember as a child in the 1960’s going to visit people in a rehabilitation hospital in Adelaide who had had polio & were living their entire subsequent lives in an iron lung. Without the iron lung, they could not breathe. I am so grateful for the Salk vaccination against polio

@van00sa It's not due to go offline until June - however if the strait of hormuz remains closed and crude deliveries get impacted then they may have no choice but to close the refinery anyway given we don't have stockpile of crude oil.

@AgedMatters @k_eagar yes absolutely, he got pushed to recall parliment and do 'something' about 'antisemitism' so he acted and now shown up the Libs and will get the gun control part he wanted. Ah the game of politics
