A campaign to encourage all Lioness fans who are against racism to take the knee in stands would be awesome!

‘Chilling’ video shows surgeon stomping on Monique Ryan corflute A Melbourne surgeon has admitted tearing down the election sign before tutoring men in how to “bury the body”, outraging anti-violence campaigners and politicians.

Aaaah! The old ‘only joking’ defence for gobsmacking misogyny. Violence against women is not a joke. Ever. www.smh.com.au/politics/vic...

Absolutely. We've known for decades that the Scandis are the happiest, healthyist, best educated nations (and more) yet we make no moves in that direction...we don't even discuss progressive thinking or envision it.
We severely handicap ourselves at the behest of capitalism and duopoly interests.

This company has NO interest in their customers once they get their money. Customer service is appalling with zero capacity to talk to anyone to get help!
Tech companies need regulation!!!

If you’re drawn to a politician because they promise to be cruel to Muslims or Jews or immigrants or gays or transgender people etc, the least you should do - the absolute, bare bones, still morally vacuous least - is ask yourself whether they’re likely to stop at the group you want to see targeted.

They’d be mad not too. Australia should too

Bring. It. On.

The Liberal Party and “Advance” have for years denied they are connected, yet two weeks ago it emerged the Liberal Party is Advance’s biggest funder — and by a factor of ten.

Peter Dutton’s line that having a strong public sector is about “pleasing the unions” is just wrong. It is about providing decent services to Australians, something he clearly doesn’t care about. He wants to return to mass outsourcing to their favourite consultants #insiders

🤦‍♀️😡

Exactly!

We need a word for the opposite of woke. Would nasty work? Odious? Foul?

It is a good read!

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you."

Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid.

This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

When Peter Dutton and the Coalition use the Jewish community as political footballs it makes all of us less safe | Sarah Schwartz They have created an imaginary caricature of Jewish people to push their political agenda

‘The smear campaign against me, which deliberately misinterprets my presentation, concocting a fantasy of it that is completely divorced from reality, proves my point: the right will go to great lengths to silence any Jew who does not fit into their mould’

Hold on to the truth… A recording from Jim Acosta's Substack live video

Hey guys! I’ve started something new. My new Substack… Go check it out! jimacosta.substack.com/p/hold-on-to...

It was riveting listening- emotionally and intellectually compelling, as well as chillingly prescient!
This Aussie is addicted to your show.

This message will age very well. Thank you for your courage in the face of bullying &intimidation

I think you know why 😂

Dutton may think voters no longer care about good government. But there’s no such thing as a ‘free lunch’ | John Quiggin Australian politics has become a vehicle for personal enrichment in a way that would have been considered shocking last century

It should go without saying that this is appalling public policy. Of all the things small businesses can spend money on, business lunches are the least likely to improve productivity or business viability.

Nine red flags for budget watchers Labor has a choice: deliver a pre-election budget that builds Australia’s future or keep sailing blindly towards another decade of debts and deficits. Spiro Premetis, Former Treasury official

Good ole AFR, you have to wait till the small print at the bottom to find out he was Josh Frydenberg's advisor

🚨 this week the coal industry launched a dirty campaign against the independents through an ‘astroturf’ group: ‘australians for progress’.

using classic negative ad styling — complete with misinformation — billboards went up in monique ryan’s & allegra spender’s electorates.

Finding out that Australia is one of the only countries that publicly funds private schools at this level is one of those “Oh this country really is nothing like the myths it tells itself” moments.

The head of the NACC, retired judge Paul Brereton, is incapable of leading a public service organisation of over 260 people with a very forward facing and very public role

He appears either unwilling or unable to accept that he does not have the skill set required for such a vast undertaking
