These are the falls and deaths racing doesn't want you to see For years, the racing industry has been quietly removing falls and deaths from its replays. Now, industry insiders are speaking out.

Horse racing is cruel.
All racing of animals for human entertainment is cruel and should be banned.

Good to see Clare Armstrong on the right side.
She was always too good to be a Murdoch hack

Gawd now we’re getting clips from
Speers podcasts. Desperate to get attention.
I’d say there is around zero interest in them.

No wonder the Coalition ended up smashed at the last election- their climate change policies are back
In the last century.
They have no vision for the future beyond their mining mates best interests

The outsourcing of education to taxpayer funded religious organisations is hardly ever discussed and never questioned

Most segregated in the world: here's why that matters - EduResearch Matters Australian schools are among the most socially segregated in the developed world. Students are separated by parental occupation, education, and cultural backgrounds. Our new research shows that this s...

The proliferation of publicly funded private schools has wrecked Australian schooling - and is undermining our society.
All due to the greed and endless lobbying of (mostly dying) churches

Hmm now it’s fixed - seems to be

Not sure why - my posts are going to replies and not as stand alone comments.

Canavan just said ‘Net zero has net zero support’.
Speers passed over it

Canavan is obviously used to winning arguments by yelling at his opponent

Canavan is now bullying Speers.
‘Let me answer’ he demands but then raises his voice and doesn’t answer

Yes indeed, she comes across as being programmed almost

Very handy way to support his mine owner mates

Matt Canavan - the man who does cos play as a miner. Who could take anything he says seriously?

Newscorpse has always had it in for Rudd because he treated them like the grubs they are.

Horse racing is cruel. Just now on #ABCTV we see horses being whipped mercilessly to get to the finishing line.
Awful. Devastating to watch.
