If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

Or who contribute to advancements in their field of expertise in ways that genuinely benefits people.

Morrison was a grifter, spiteful & so deceitful. People like him should never make the list, let alone be given the nod.

Sadly, these "honours" have long been a joke & I feel sorry for those that have actually earned & deserved recognition that they are now so tainted.

Some things that cis people often don’t realise.

The various steps in transition all take time, and the time and money needed vary greatly from one country to another, even within a country.

There will typically be a period where ID and appearance appear to disagree.

It was "curse you" or "f#$* you," the latter of which actually is closer to representing the white-hot anger I feel, but I haven't ever posted that language on SM & decided not to start now 😢

As a woman it doesn't bother me at this point because the Lib women who could be in those positions don't represent me any more than the men taking their place.

I push back against the labelling of nasty Christians as "not real Christians" every chance I get. Christianity is in the eyes of the adherent/interpreter thanks to an inherently contradictory Bible & petrifying otherwise gives it undeserved credit for & authority over morality & decency.

All of those disqualify him from claiming the title "leader" or that he cares about anything other than his political power.

All of those are unforgivable.

And all of those take place as he pours fuel on the #ClimateCatastrophe with this act of pure, unadulterated, criminal vandalism.

You are truly delusional @albomp.bsky.social if you think you were handed a large majority to do this

People are sick to their stomach about this, for multiple reasons

I'd wish that this haunts you into endless sleepless nights if I thought for a second you had a conscience.

Curse you for ever more @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social & Murray Watt.

You have betrayed the Australian people & the planet, AGAIN!

I can't even say I'm surprised, just unutterably disappointed.

I read & re-posted it last night but didn't comment because I just didn't know what to say...

Thank you for persisting. It's hard to not flail between gritted-teeth determination and utter despair.

Here we go.

I don't have much to say about this one to encourage you to read, and the title will turn many of you away - and maybe it should - but I don't know what I would do with myself if I didn't get this one out:

God, you of all deities should know better than to perpetuate the harmful myth that doing Christianity "right" means kind/good/moral. You inspired the contradictory shit-show of a Bible that can be pressed into service for harm as well as good

Good or bad, Christianity is in the eye of the adherent

"Rising conservative star Andrew Hastie, widely seen as a future leader of the party..."

Well, there's one of the problems in full view - still championing blokes like this.

"The job of political leaders is to lead us, not walk behind us, to bring out the best in us, rather than pander to the worst in us."

There are few in our current Parliament who could do this and the ones that could are, unsurprisingly, not found in the ranks of the ALP.

Moira Deeming, *confirmed* Christian...

Christians can be awful and said awfulness be supported by Bible verses as well.

I keep away from crowded situations, too, and mask indoors, have both vax when I can but still got covid - no clue how - last May. Now have LC, on the mild end, but still enough to impact on other health aspects.

Wishing you continued freedom from them!

Wear a mask, too. Vaccination doesn't do much to prevent infection (but people should get it to reduce severity of infection).

I know, nobody will wear a mask

...sigh...
