Teenagers are “too young” to make decisions on gender affirming care.

They’re “too young to vote”.

They’re too young to drink.

But they’re not too young to be sex trafficked and raped by Epstein and all his rich pals?

Be serious please.

Australian politics 101: Getting the lessons wrong every time If one thing is true for all mainstream political parties, it’s that they will always learn the wrong lessons.

"We’ll be hearing a lot of Gough Whitlam’s legacy, of Medicare and the fights he had to change Australia. Of the reforms Labor still proudly presents as its legacy" @amyremeikis.bsky.social.

But the Albanese govt has the political courage of custard. #auspol

Powerless: The hidden crisis of prepaid energy and First Nations communities In Western Australia's remote north, tens of thousands of people are living in fear of sudden disconnection and being forced to ration power.

This is disgusting. Why can't Australia's government add batteries and panels and provide power to these relatively few homes in remote areas like this? We're a rich nation.

Remember: the Israeli Knesset has debated Israeli soldiers' right to torture and rape Palestinian prisoners. There have been protest rallies by Israelis outside detention centres supporting Israeli soldiers' right to torture and rape Palestinians (incl. children). #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

While I am not a lawyer, ordering the army to start arresting civilians without invoking the insurrection act (which for my non-American friends is how declaring martial law in the US works) would be an explicitly illegal order.
