Sorry I canโt sign your petition Misty.
People like me from Australia know the abuse that has occurred in organised religion and those that have gotten away with their heinous crimes.
We support and admire your efforts.
@jessicatarlov.bsky.social I so much appreciate your voice of reason. Please say a word for abused kids trapped in strict religions. No one seems to care ๐ข

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

The News Corp campaign for a royal commission is like pushing on a string - the other media just following their lead and Labor too cowed to push back. No rationale, no questions, no interrogation of the problems. The whole thing is genuinely stupid.

Muslims in Australia, represents 3.2% of the total population.
Christianity (43.9%)
No religion (38.9%)
This means 83% of Aussies probably don't harbor any bigotry toward either religion. #auspol
Pretty weird irony: the Very Serious People are proposing hate speech laws that stifle criticism of this kind of hate speech - to protect people who support or ignore it.

Terrific from Henry Reynolds on PMโs retreat from an Aust republic. Albanese โpaid homage to our official head of state a hereditary aristocrat living on the other side of the world & who as a young man was complicit in the removal of PM Whitlam 50 years agoโ #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

The government should use the fund for what itโs for: improving Australian health research and innovation.
Curing a childโs epilepsy is a remarkable, lifechanging achievement.
Wonderful to see Australian neurologists using AI for world-leading research.
Last year the Medical Research Future Fund turned down at least 1/2 the AI grants it reviewed.
Itโs time we held that Murdoch/Media Royal Commission that more than 500,000 people petitioned for. #auspol
