So, let's recap, shall we?

This week the @PressClubAust managed to:

* cancel at the last minute, the questions and subsequent presence of renowned journalist Margo Kingston, who’d travelled over 2 days to Canberra to ask her question of Pauline Hanson – and yes, they were questions initially requested and organised by the Press Club itself 9 days ago.

* cancel the press gallery membership of long-term journalist, Greg Jericho, allegedly because he works for the @TheAusInstitute. Although Greg has been employed by the Aust Institute for 4 years, his membership cancellation only came yesterday after he publicly called out the Canberra press gallery - which is of course a highly fortuitous coincidence and not at all connected to his criticism.

* somehow allowed a person or persons unknown to enter the Press Club premises and put up a 3 metre wide electronic banner, without anybody in the Press Club noticing them doing it. How several people enter a private club carrying something that large, then proceed to wire it up on an open stage and nobody at the premises noticed in any way, is yet another display of the NPC’s staggering incompetence.

* release an unnecessarily detailed, high-school level statement about said banner incident, a statement that reeks of defensiveness and hysteria, while also prejudicially naming an alleged culprit and arguably sinking to the bottom of the barrel in terms of the journalistic standards it supposedly represents. Read it below and remind yourself that people who work with words for a living wrote that.

* allowed the speaker, Pauline Hanson, to defame one of their own - a journalist from the Guardian who dared to ask a hard-hitting question - by calling her "trash". This was only weeks after calling the same journalist a "nasty bitch". Mirroring, Trump’s “Quiet piggy” incident, the journalist's alleged colleagues all sat mute, as did the moderator, Tom Connell from Sky News during the abuse. No rebuke, no blow-back, no support for their fellow journalist, standing alone under Hanson's hissing vitriol. Just pusillanimous silence.

The National Press Club outdid their already dubious reputation this week, spraying themselves in a spectacular shower of self-inflicted shit – wall to wall, dripping effluent.

Australians currently suffer some of the most timid, captured political journalism in the western world, and if the actions of the #NPC this week are the metric, then we can all see why.

What a national and international embarrassment of an organisation meant to serve as a vital democratic institution and a cultural conscience – and one that has offered us neither.

👑🔥 AGAIN A WOMAN‼️ A QUEEN THAT STANDS UP.
Spanish MEP Irene Montero just torched the room in Strasbourg.
While EU leaders posture and celebrate, she looked them dead in the eye and asked:
What exactly are we celebrating?
Prevented a genocide in Gaza?
Stopped the illegal US-Israeli aggression on Iran?
Broke relations with Israel?
Ended the occupation of Lebanon?
No. We cannot celebrate any of these things.
Then she dropped the line that’s echoing across the internet:
“Happy Birthday, Mr. Genocide.” aimed straight at Trump.
The men in suits stayed silent or complicit.
She spoke.
Thank you, @IreneMontero.
Thank you, Spain 🇪🇸.
This is what moral courage looks like when institutions choose cowardice.

From “One Nation Decoded” on Facebook. Give them a follow. 👇🏻

“I went through Pauline Hanson’s full National Press Club speech.

Not a clip.

Not a headline.

The whole thing.

And the numbers are wild.

Out of around 86 checkable claims, I counted:

12 outright false claims.

43 misleading, cherry-picked or unsupported claims.

58 slogans, attack lines or loaded catchphrases.

17 things that just didn’t logically make sense.

That means the speech was not some brave truth-telling moment.

It was a misinformation machine with a microphone.

The scariest part is how polished it all sounds when it’s delivered confidently.

Big numbers.

Big claims.

Big outrage.

But when you actually stop and check it, so much of it falls apart.

The 130,000 “sleeping rough” claim was wrong.

The $200 billion Clean Energy Finance Corporation claim was wrong.

The overseas-born comparison with America was apples-to-oranges.

The climate change “hoax” line was straight-up nonsense.

The capital gains tax section was dressed up like young renters should be crying for young property flippers.

This is the trick.

Say enough things quickly.

Sound angry enough.

Blame enough groups.

Wrap it all in flags, slogans and “common sense”.

Then hope nobody checks the details.

Well, I checked.

And what I found was not leadership.

It was grievance politics running on dodgy numbers, culture war panic and emotional shortcuts.

Australians deserve better than a speech where the slogans do more work than the facts”

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

The mother of all come-downs, witches.

And the humiliation of the century (so far) for a media “star” in this country or any other.

That’s what we’re calling news out last night that Kyle Sandilands has settled his threatened lawsuit with ARN Media for the puny (by his standards) sum of just $12 million dollars in cash, plus a little more in contra. And it’s not even being paid all at once, but over a period of at least three years:
“Kyle Sandilands has reached a settlement with his former employer ARN Media, over the termination of his $100 million contract. According to a statement to the ASX on Wednesday morning the media company has agreed to pay the radio shock jock $12.09 million to settle the legal dispute before the Federal Court. As part of the settlement ARN Media has also agreed to advertise Sandilands's new, independent media project on its platforms in a $1.5 million deal over the next three years. As part of the deal Sandilands has agreed to a revenue share arrangement with ARN Media, providing the media company with 19.9 per cent of the revenue from his new venture. However, Sandilands cannot engage with ARN Media's direct competitors for nine months, according to the ASX announcement.”
https://t.co/Ne3Q6wxP8w?

This piece is the only one we’ve found which names MFW’s huge role in this result, and even notes that Kyle simply can’t return to radio since we’ll be here waiting:
https://t.co/UqkY0YCJf2

And ain’t that the fucking truth.

The payout is not much more than Kyle earned in just one year on radio to spread his bile and filth. LOL.

Our information is Kyle probably had to settle and the $85 million he demanded from ARN was always largely bluff, because the upcoming legal discovery process in the court case would’ve been brutal for him. Just for a start, it would have exposed his repeated, long-term bullying, according to information such as in this piece back in April:
https://t.co/tedlHIkNGP?

And with a reputation already deep in the toilet based on his violent threats issued towards many people including our own MFW Admins, Kyle wouldn’t have wanted to further harm his chances of becoming Australia’s biggest podcast hero, which he’s already planning. Obviously he can’t return to broadcast radio anytime soon, which makes the clause in his contract stating he can’t work for “ARN’s direct competitors” till next March as hilarious as it’s ironic. LOL.

We’ll have more to say on all these issues soon, witches, but for now we just wanted to repeat: this is brilliant news for us witches.

Since it proves yet again (if there’s anyone left who needs to hear it) just how effective and deadly our campaign was, and how much Australia’s media need to take note when the witches are watching.

Kyle can podcast to his heart’s content if he likes. He may even procure a large-ish audience of dickheads, racists and misogynists. But he’ll never earn as much as he would have if he’d only responded reasonably to our complaints, and he’ll always be the guy brought down by a bunch of sweary women who had the courage to stand up and say his verbal violence and foulness had no place in the mainstream media, and who stuck by our promise to see him sacked.

We did it.

Go us.

[noor୨୧ @wottheberry]

i took a 45-minute uber ride home from the airport last night after a brutal, three-day business trip.

i was completely emotionally and physically drained, and my social battery was at absolute zero.

when i got into the car, the driver.. an older guy named kabir.. didn't say the usual "how was your flight?" or turn on the radio.

instead, he just handed me a small, laminated piece of paper attached to the back of his headrest.
it was a literal "ride menu."
it said:
1. *the silent ride* (total quiet, no pressure to talk).
2. *the therapist ride* (if you need to vent about your day, i am listening).
3. *the tourist ride* (i will tell you cool facts about the city).
4. *the radio ride* (we just listen to old jazz and coast).

i smiled, pointed to number 1, and whispered, "silent ride, please. thank you."

he gave me a warm nod in the rearview mirror, adjusted the AC, and drove the entire 45 minutes in absolute, beautiful silence.

it was the most peaceful, therapeutic boundary i’ve experienced all year. i felt my entire nervous system finally reset.

when he dropped me off, i gave him a massive tip and told him, "that menu is a genius business idea. you must get amazing reviews."

He looked back at me and said, "i didn't make the menu to get better tips, dear.

my daughter has severe social anxiety, and she told me that the hardest part of her day is navigating small talk with strangers when her brain is tired.

she told me it feels like running a marathon.

i made the card so that anyone who gets into my car can feel completely safe dropping the mask for a little while."

i walked into my apartment and just sat on my suitcase.

we live in a world that is constantly screaming at us to perform, to network, to be "on," and to over-communicate.

but sometimes, the deepest form of love and respect you can show another human being is just creating a small, safe pocket of silence for them to rest in.

pay attention to the people who give you permission to be quiet. they are rare.

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

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’.”
https://t.co/GQ2N1VsQiN?

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.

[Louise Greene @GreeneLouiseAus]

I am absolutely fed up with the relentless targeting of Grace Tame.

Let's be clear. There is a difference between fair criticism and a public pile-on. What we keep seeing directed at Grace is not constructive debate. It is constant scrutiny, personal attacks, outrage cycles and a level of judgment that seems reserved for women who dare to speak too loudly, too honestly or too unapologetically.

Grace Tame survived child sexual abuse. She helped change laws. She gave a voice to countless survivors. She has spent years doing work that most people would never have the courage to do.

Yet the attacks never seem to stop.

A few weeks ago it was the Prime Minister taking aim at her. Now it's Charlie Pickering. Before that, countless commentators, columnists and social media critics. Different names, same pattern.

And frankly, it disgusts me.

No, women in public life should not be immune from criticism. Nobody is. But there is a world of difference between criticism and the kind of sustained public hounding that seeks to diminish, discredit and exhaust someone.

As someone who has experienced public judgment and media attacks, I know how destructive these campaigns can be. They reduce human beings to caricatures. They erase context. They encourage outrage while ignoring the very real emotional toll on the person at the centre of it.

What troubles me most is that women who survive violence are so often expected to be perfect. The moment they become angry, outspoken, political, imperfect or inconvenient, they are treated as fair game.

Grace Tame has contributed more to the conversation about sexual abuse and survivor advocacy in this country than most of her critics ever will.

Maybe it's time some of the men lining up to take shots at her stopped and asked themselves a simple question:

Why are they spending so much energy attacking a survivor instead of supporting the change she helped create?

Enough. #gracetame #charliepickering

[Ihtesham Ali @ihtesham2005]

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper.

Her name is Audrey van der Meer.

She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth.

The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time.

Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen.

Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task.

When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once.

The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected.

When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely.

Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG.

Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events.

The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem.

Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next.

Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve.

Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews.

Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad.

Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page.

A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched.

The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall.

The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down.

The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page.

That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it.

Two studies. Two countries. Same answer.

Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast.

Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth.

You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick.

The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew.

Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

Two days ago, the Saturday Paper published the first expose of MFW we feel does justice to our work and our movement.

We thank both the paper and its author Jacinta Parsons for the sensitivity and sense of collaboration she brought to the piece, and want all witches to know this: while large sections of the Australian media are still ignoring us, downplaying our role in media reform, lying about us and/or even still mocking us, we’re now almost impossible to forget about or silence.

The article is all there in the pic below if you can enlarge the print enough on your device. We also note that the response to it was massive on the Saturday Paper’s FB page two days ago and while sure, as always there are whingers in the comments, the majority response was positive (perhaps a first for us, or maybe it just reflects the Saturday Paper’s usual readership). Here’s the link:
https://t.co/FohkF1JvAu

If you have a subscription to the paper, here’s the link to that, too, and one of the best excerpts:
“To this day, Hill is surprised by how effective the MFW campaigns have been. She savs a high-profile journalist once rang after he said something nasty about a female politician. ‘He somehow found my phone number and rang me in a panic and said, “Please don't do it. Don't campaign on me”.’ Hill's response was to make it clear that the MFW ‘only run campaigns on people who are serial repeat offenders who don't apologise and make amends’.”
https://t.co/BQSm3YtTxm

We thank our Founder Jennie for her bravery and candidness in this interview, and note that as our only public Administrator she’s been forced by necessity to respond to far more media requests recently than ever and that enduring this level of press scrutiny is difficult and stressful. So while she appreciates that sections of the media are now more willing to discuss MFW’s role in running campaigns and that responding to this interest is essential to show more people what we do, it comes at a price and that the abuse aimed at her (and others) and the serious threats have by no means gone away. Yet that price is one Jennie now takes on every day both for this organisation’s future and for all of us.

We’re getting closer than ever to our new campaign, witches. It may be a week (or more) till we can finally announce it and start the work involved, but we ARE going to do the next thing which fucking-well needs doing.

So stay on board with the witches.

It works, and it matters.

People are expressing outrage about how Ben Roberts-Smith was arrested, saying it was too public. He was arrested with no cuffs, not a hand on him, despite facing allegations of war crimes.

I can’t help but think of the young Aboriginal boy wrongly arrested at gunpoint by the AFP on a Canberra bus.

A boy who was wrongly identified, profiled because he was Aboriginal, searched even after police realised they had the wrong person.

An innocent child, just trying to get home – publicly humiliated, a gun drawn on him.

Where was the outrage then?

Where has it been for the hundreds of Black and brown people who don’t survive police arrests, who die at their hands?

Spare me your tears for Ben Roberts-Smith. If you have a problem with the police, at least be consistent.

Sometimes when I buy things at the supermarket I think about how I can’t buy a plastic bag to put them in but virtually every item is now wrapped in plastic and sometimes multiple layers of plastic (most of it supremely unnecessary) and it seems obvious the billionaire owners of plastic-producing companies somehow convinced us all we were being good citizens for the planet by smugly foregoing plastic bags while they instead secretly put plastic literally everywhere else in the supply chain and we all fell for it wholesale.

(This tweet isn’t about the coming catastrophic world shortage of plastic but that’s certainly also going to be … interesting.)

It’s very clear Trump is inflicting the Cycle of Abuse on the world. It’s usually discussed in terms of violence against women, but also occurs in workplaces, the media and other places manipulative violent men (and a few women) obtain and maintain power.

That Trump is like this is not news or surprising. But what’s unforgivable is the way his colleagues and the media collude in this cycle for their own ends. His colleagues do it for money and political power, and the media do it because constant turmoil and fear gives them link clicks, which is their system of revenue. Both groups care for nothing but attention, power, control and profit.

They’re both also abusive organisations and complicit in the violence. But using the potential murder of millions of people to achieve their aims makes them no better than Trump (and perhaps much worse, since he’s obviously demented yet others are humouring his behaviour callously and deliberately).

They’re all complete fucking bastards.

For someone who says he doesn’t give a shit what the “three old ladies” he thinks run MFW say, old Sandipants sure seems a little obsessed with us.

We’ve known for ages we’re living blissfully rent-free in his head, but having this confirmed on air fairly often now (despite him being sternly told not to go there by his bosses and co-host) is … a bit fucking delicious.

He mentions us most days on air now, usually in an oblique (but pretty obvious) way, but every so often his true feelings explode and he can’t help himself but to attack the real and ever-present thorns in his side.

You can’t help yourself can you, Kyle? Everyone has to know what you’re thinking and feeling 24/7, and there’s a name for people like that if you wanna go look it up. Want us to call a widdle waaaambulance for ya? Want a tissue for your issue?

(And yes, we do believe his “bitch!” comments were aimed at Jackie and newsreader Brooklyn, since he was in the middle of a huge stoush with them when he made this quote and as he uses sexist slurs almost as often as he breathes in and out and considers Brooklyn to be similar to a woman as well (as he’s gay), there’s not much else which can be truthfully concluded.

The quote in the meme occurred, as we said, during a ginormous on-air fight a couple of weeks ago, during which he attacked both colleagues using gendered and homophobic slurs and also reverted to his full range of bullying DARVO tactics to get his own way.

The new “Kind Kyle”?

Don’t make us fucking laugh.

He can’t sustain his so-called miraculous new “kindness” for more than a week or two at a time, and the only reason one or more of his on-air colleagues or production staff haven’t knocked his fucking block off by now is that they now just (usually) go silent in the face of his juvenile and embarrassing rants. And if they don’t, the real Kyle quickly re-emerges. Again.

Maybe Kyle’s re-emerging on-air cruelty, bullying and abuse is why neither he nor Jackie were at work again today? For the second time this week?

The plot certainly thickens about their absences, with advertisers still running for the hills (more on that tomorrow), and ARN’s share price still plunging to the floor (it’s almost as low again now as its all-time low earlier this year).

Stay tuned, witches. This campaign is heating up more than it ever has ATM, and at this rate we may not get to Christmas without some kind of witchy reckoning coming for Kyle.

If so, we can’t fucking wait.

And in the meantime, Kyle, we have to say you’re getting a bit too testerical and maybe you should calm down? And maybe try to smile more? Just a little witchy advice for ya, ‘cos nobody likes a sore loser …
