These are only posts that we should be watching re the extraordinary, Sinners. Instead the @baftas
decided not to edit a racial slur when two of the greatest actors, yes, I said what I said, were presenting an award. In Black History Month! But Free Palestine was edited! Strange?Nope, just the usual

Pauline Hanson has spent decades demonising Muslims in the Senate with zero consequences, but put an anti-fascist poster on your bar wall and the AFP comes knocking. Labor's first scalp under their hate speech laws isn't a hate group and that says everything.

Australian One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson

Imagine the outrage if a Federal MP asked "Show me a good Jew!" Yet Pauline Hanson can rptedly vilify the Australian Muslim community by asking "Show me a good Muslim!" Shouldn't she be charged under the new hatespeech laws?! #auspol #Islamophobia

Re Epstein files: on Deepak Chopra. It’s time for a full & thorough investigation of all so called spiritual leaders with connections that run deeper than just Epstain. Look at who endorsed him! Looking at you Oprah(bffs), Heart Mind Institute (2026),Garrison Institute (2021) Impact Theory (2025).

To Senator Pauline Hanson: Pauline Hanson is a fraud.

That’s next level X-tra offal.

We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms.
It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.

Black Lives Matter protest with Marcia Langton in 2020 in response to Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. In the US, George Floyd was murdered by police in Minneapolis with a knee to his neck & died repeating his mama’s name and “I can’t breathe.” Reasons why Trump’s regime is murdering folx in Minnesota.

Worked in NY before green cards were IRS probed. Was snowed in near Peoria with my sister’s bff from Oz. Took an Amtrac from Chicago to New Orleans crossing Lake Pontchartrain & stayed in the French quarter. In the 38 years since US has continued to murder innocent black people. Now they are white.

ADD education funding!

Our investigation led us to conclude that this is what occurred. As a result, we will not be able to refund this charge.

Response: we looked into your question about a suspected, unauthorized charge on your cc. Often, apparent unauthorized charges result from another person (usually a close friend or family member) using your cc unintentionally

What the bloody hell is a Labor government? Anyone?
No Arts, libraries or Vic writer’s centre protected?
No free speech
Writers silenced
No AF writer’s week or Bendigo fest
Now Womadelaide Palestinian DJ in hot seat!
Glad I studied Performing Arts in the 90s when hope was still a living thing.

Where’s his Media trainer!!! AWOL at best! Appalling in every way.

I cannot be party to silencing writers, which is why I am resigning as director of Adelaide Writers’ Week | Louise Adler Cancelling the Australian Palestinian author Randa Abdel-Fattah weakens freedom of speech and is the harbinger of a less free nation

Louise Adler is and has been the voice of reason for Adelaide Writer’s Week and now she is gone it’s exposed just how fragile we are.

What an unsuited lineup that is

As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi.

A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.

Albanese can’t win. Surprised he hasn’t figured this out yet.

This analysis from Nick Feik is profound especially as there is talk of the PM caving to a shameless campaign

With Peace on their minds. In November 2025 these students in Grade 5 & 6 created public service announcements about what they want for their future. I particularly like the one about touching grass too.

Teaching Art this year was a revelation. So much hope ahead in our future with these creative kids. Developing curriculum on the run was challenging but teaching them about Kaylene Whiskey, Molly Hunt, Pop Art, Graffiti public service announcements & Nihonga & Sakura was a fab reset on why I teach.

As a highly taxed teacher, artist & friend of the Arts this is not only a betrayal, it’s a crime against the culture that reflects our national identity. ‘It’s a very good deal for China. I”m sure Australians would love to pay the $3 or $4 gas that the Chinese get.’ Howard’s Liberal party betrayal!

Time to wake up Australia. Without the US as a credible ally and with China experimenting with their live fire exercises at ‘short notice’ forcing Oz flight path redirections it’s a terrifying reality reveal! We’re not in Kansas now, Toto!

Always Was, Always Will Be, Aboriginal Land.
Peaceful Invasion Day march in Melbourne. Hearing Gary Foley speak was the absolute highlight. A searing history lesson going back as far as 1967. Hearing language and watching ceremony with speeches from Tarneen Onus and Aretha Brown unified us all.

Invasion Day 2025: a guide to protest marches and events across Australia on 26 January

Eighty years since Indigenous men forced into First Fleet re-enactment On Australia Day 80 years ago, 25 Indigenous men were told if they did not perform in a First Fleet re-enactment, their families would starve.

‘On January 26, 1938, as the first rally against Australia Day was held, 25 Indigenous men were told if they did not perform the role of 'retreating Aborigines' in a re-enactment of the First Fleet, their families would starve.’

I was so impressed to see this. I watched it on TV in my local pub in North Fitzroy as a student. Get reading friends.
