Autism is a natural divergence from neurotypicality. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.

Transness is a natural divergence from cisnormativity. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.

Just deal with people being different than you.

I do hope Hastie quits the front bench as he is threatening. Here’s hoping he quits politics altogether and pisses off. We don’t need men like him making rules for us

'Not an easy decision': ANU vice-chancellor Genevieve Bell resigns Australian National University vice-chancellor Genevieve Bell has resigned from her position, after months of controversy due to sweeping staff cuts and allegations of poor governance.

Professor Bell’s resignation is the culmination of months of scandal, plummeting staff and student morale, and a governance system that is completely broken.

Let’s not forget that Chancellor Bishop’s leadership has also been fraught, and she too must be held accountable for the crisis at ANU.

The Govt has given up on insisting the US honour a formal free trade agreement, but hopes the US would honour a formal security agreement in a time of need. Hope is not a defence strategy πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. #AUKUS #auspol

I for one am glad this terrorist is off our streets.

If the police hadn't acted so swiftly, there was a very real chance that next week, this insurgent could have been holding up an even bigger piece of cardboard.

Usman Khawaja said in Parliament today that the Government has been β€œ100% too slow” in banning gambling ads.

Australia Institute polling shows three in four Australians (76%) support a total ban on gambling ads!

When I was 15 I worked in the Bargain Mart section of a department store. If not busy we had to mess up the display tables and then tidy them. They’ll be getting them to drop rubbish soon in order to have something to pick up.

I'm disabled, I have no transport and I can't leave my house. If it wasn't for Australia's availability of the postal vote, I wouldn't be able to participate in our elections. There are thousands of people in similar positions to me. Postal voting supports democracy.

Katie Mack: I dunno man, I already went and got a PhD in astrophysics. Seems like more than that would be overkill at this point.

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?

Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

Trump just vowed to sex-test every female Olympian in 2028. That’s right…mandatory genital inspections. New task force already in motion.

Personally, I’d love to see every country refuse to come to the Olympics in 2028…and announce it…now.

A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying β€œperilous” and β€œpolice feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.
