Lol, she was pretty chatty on that NPR podcast recently.

Agreed. And it’s a lie that he didn’t partake in illicit activity. Hanging around with a convicted child sexual abuser is illicit.

Also it’s irrelevant that he didn’t have a sleepover. Wtf is that supposed to mitigate? 🤮

Like others before him, Gates isn’t taking responsibility. He’s just trying to rehabilitate his reputation.

Like Chomsky, Gates claims he was aware of some "18-month thing" that had limited Epstein's travel, but he didn't properly check his background.

Didn’t bother to check?

All the big issues are covered when the LNP and Nine collaborate. Hundreds of academics attended the Universities Australia Solutions Summit to share their expertise across multiple subjects so Nine Entertainment interviewed Julian Leeser about group assignments.

When News Corp writes about ex-premier Andrews, it’s called a Dantrum.

Yep, it’ll be a 24/7 money laundromat.

He’s such a turd.

And the resort will be named Pedo Palisades.

I Caught POLITICO and the New York Times Laundering Pink Slime "News" How the sexist backlash to AOC and Gretchen Whitmer at the Munich Security Conference led me to a scammy "local news" outlet pushing a coordinated right-wing narrative

Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.

That’s exactly what his brand represents. I wouldn’t want that name anywhere near me.

Nasty, cowardly and corrupt - could be the Gold Coast developers new slogan.

I think he’s doing it for love and money. The “wellness” grift is huge in the US.

Exactly. At this stage it’s all fantasy created by greedy developers.

If it ever goes ahead. It sounds like a money laundering operation to me. Also Crisafulli recently overturned the ban on property developer donations for state elections so it might have a dual purpose.

News Corp says the Trump family and Altus Property Group have been “given the green light” to build a 91-storey branded hotel.

They didn’t speak to acting Gold Coast mayor, Mark Hammel, who says no developer application has been submitted yet.

All this palaver for a brand deal.

Centre-right 'betrayed' West, MAGA figure tells Australian conservatives Benjamin Harnwell, the "international editor" of Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, says centre-right politicians have "betrayed" the West by supporting "mass immigration".

An invitee to the Advance conference said that Angela Merkel “did more damage to the fabric of her country than the Nazis did, than Hitler did, 80 years ago.” Because immigration, apparently.
Can’t believe there are sections of the local Jewish community that support this organisation.

My grade 5 English teacher. My pain was compounded by all the rules around style and grammar. 😀

Of course being the nephew of the Attorney General has nothing to do with getting no jail sentence for killing an Aboriginal person and showing absolutely no remorse only further racism. None at all. They said so. 🤬

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Snap! My sister was devoted to David and I loved Shaun. Are you the older or younger sibling?

Drop a crush from your youth.

More assault allegations surface against footballers in tiny town of Balmoral More women come forward with allegations of sexual assault in a small Victorian town, years after a rape victim was shunned by the town.

Scratch the surface and the disgusting underbelly will be revealed.

“He pushed her up against a wall and tried to kiss her.

Ms Slorach resisted and turned her face away.

‘And when I said, “Get off me, no”, he called me a frigid bitch.’

She was 12 years old.”

'Consent of a child is not a defence': Ex-MP's sexual assault trial begins The complainant in the sexual assault trial of former Liberal MP Rory Amon has told a court of the alleged incidents that took place in a car park toilet when he was 13.

I’m calling bullsh*t.

“Mr Amon…continued making conversation in the days afterwards about topics including ‘what I was doing at school that day’…”

Here’s an idea, maybe people in their mid-30s should avoid meeting up with school-aged children for sex.

Exactly. And if you’re writing about people you might see at the pub on Friday, you’re more likely to be accurate and fair.

I agree 100%. I encourage my students to look for regional work when they graduate. A couple of years reporting in a small town can set you up for anything.

I agree. I nearly puked when her brother was describing how the perpetrator’s father cornered him at the pub and forced a handshake.
“Are you gonna be a man and shake it or what?”

What’s that saying about the apple not falling far from the tree?

A convicted rapist is vetting and training One Nation candidates to enter the Australian parliament.

Pauline Hanson and her financial backers do NOT care that their “campaign director” is a rapist. They worship Trump and Maga so a sexual assault conviction is probably a job requirement.

When a young woman is raped by two friends, her small town turns against her A local footy star and his mate are convicted of raping their friend. In the tiny town of Balmoral, where the footy club reigns, the town makes it clear whose story they believe.

#RapeCulture in action.

Powerful people refusing to answer journalists’ questions about sexual assault is very on-brand for the times. It’s depressing that locals fell into line so quickly.

If you scratch the surface of this shitty town, I’m certain you’ll find much worse.

Great idea but the first few rounds should be played “to the death”. Temperature goes up until it’s down to the final player. Last man standing can go to jail.

It’s important to send a strong message to future climate criminals.
