Grace Tame has spent yrs standing up to abusers, while supporting victims & survivors. She exchanged a safe, quiet existence for one of consequence & impact.

Right now she is being vilified by journalists, politicians, organisations.

I stand with Grace - I hope you'll stand with her too!

What a great photo of Brazilian alpine skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the first South American to ever win a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.

Lightweight Libs have Labor laughing all the way to an election Short of his party moving against him, Anthony Albanese is almost certain to win another term as Prime Minister.

Maybe spend less time and effort on protesters and e- bikes and more resources here.

‘tip offs’ is an odd word to use here when it’s careful mandatory reports that must meet the threshold of harm.

The treasurer, Jim Chalmers, this week described Angus Taylor during question time as ‘born with a silver foot in his mouth’. #auspol

So basically what Tony Abbott said on ABC 730 last night was that you should only be welcome in Australia if you are white and Judeo-Christian, or willing to act like you are.

Seriously fuck off

Sussan Ley quickly quitting politics is understandable, but it really underlines that most big party MPs are never there to represent their electorates, just their ambitions

Being a freelancer means this would be all his own gear and he’s now going to have to cover the costs of repair/replacing anything damaged himself. Insecure work costs workers in so many different ways.

Sydney Jewish woman interviewed on #ABC730 patronizingly asks if people protesting Herzog ‘know what they are protesting about’.

The condescending righteousness.

How about 75,000 dead Palestinians, most innocent. Gaza in rubble. 1000’s dead in West Bank land stealing? Collective punishment…

Video shows a man pinned to the ground as Australian police strike him repeatedly during an arrest. The man appears already subdued as blows continue. The incident occurred at protests in Sydney against Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

Huh. Almost like absolutely everyone saw this coming from the minute the government invited the Israeli head of state and told Sydneysiders they couldn't protest about it.

Another win for Social Cohesion™

I'm with you, Dave. There'd be no working from home if it were up to conservatives, no urgent care clinics, no minimum wage increase. Companies would not be required to publish their gender pay gap.
Are their some disappointments? Sure.
But they are entrenching free Medicare for generations to come.

Labor's delivered real wins for workers: minimum wage hikes, wage theft protections, and super taxes on the wealthy hoarding cash. Jo Briskey, Maribyrnong (ex-Bill Shorten's seat), fights for early learning and aged care families—straight Labor grit

its not just albo

Trump should be made hand them out.
No better not he’s likely to keep one, if they won.

The preferred pm poll serves no purpose other than propaganda. Seriously what sane person bases a vote on this?

When's she goingto paint her face orange and say we're going to invade New Zealand? Locking up ten year olds and telling First Nations people what their truth is - THAT'S divisive.
