Zachary Rolfe in bid for 'rare' appeal in Kumanjayi Walker inquest Former Northern Territory police officer Zachary Rolfe is considering an appeal of findings he was "racist" and ignored his training before fatally shooting an Aboriginal teenager in 2019.

By all means Mr Rolfe, come back for your hat.

A diverse flight crew of a gay guy, a Black man, and a woman

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deckβ€” that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground πŸ’…πŸΌ

I was thinking that - imagine if this happened in the men’s ashes, and DRS wasn’t available. Embarrassing.
