Sydney Mardi Gras is one of our community's most powerful shields from visibility. Its scale protects us. The more visible we are, the harder we are to kill.
Insidious forces are growing in power around the world that want to kill or erase queer people. We cannot afford the luxury of moralising, gatekeeping and tearing each other down. We must unite - regardless of different views on other issues - we must stand together.
This politician sued a former staff member (who was raped in her office) over a couple of tweets that she later retracted.
Donβt be that person who tries to bankrupt a survivor of sexual assault because you didnβt like like what they said about you (and later retracted) #auspol

Vale David, what a legend. His reviews were important in opening up the wonderful world of international cinema to so many. Yes, definitely five stars.
Mardi Gras should be powerful, inclusive and united - not divided by bans and infighting. protectmardigras.org

Hi darl #taspol
This is so hilarious. Real estate agents very upset that someone is rorting them.
Six months on and itβs difficult to determine whether itβs Project 2025 or the Handmaidβs Tale that Trump et al are implementing
ineptitude

ACTU statement on the appalling atrocities in Gaza
Turns out I have misunderstood the response to my tweet π
I think you have missed the point of my tweet
It is so important that those speaking out be clear that it is not Israelis or Jews that are criminals. It is those who pursue this illegal and genocidal war. Just as it was not Palestinians or Muslims who were to blame for the murder and kidnapping of October 7.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and a genocidal maniac. He will be remembered in history as such.
With the horrors on display in Gaza I hope that we can still be strategic in the way we campaign for peace and justice.
Just think rationally!! πππ
βGaga for the woo wooβ should be the title for the LNP election review www.smh.com.au/politics/fed... via @garynunn.bsky.social
I didnβt say that lol
In my mind, a civilised democratic process is one where people elect leaders to lead, represent and make decisions - then hold them to account.
Factions deploying brute force to elevate & cut down allies according to tribal allegiance & favour is unedifying & centred in self-interest.
I realise Ministry needs to be sorted out straight away, but donβt feel itβs a great sign that it took less than a week for first internal drama story.
The idea that MPs are entitled to front bench positions on the basis of faction or state is something that should have died out last century.
Anyone who follows knows I am a strong critic of NSW Police.
Karen Webb was the first Commissioner to attend Mardi Gras to support her rainbow colleagues. This was very meaningful & special to me.
I don't doubt it is one of the most challenging jobs in public life & thank her for her service.
I am worried that they will think that slow and steady wins the race, even though there is a crisis of wealth disparity.
Itβs been advanced by external factors like Trump, but this election has been the end of the LNP as we know it.
Gen Z are replacing Boomers/Interwar on the roll at roughly the opposite split in progressive-conservative terms.
Iβm worried Labor will learn wrong lessons from this amazing victory.
I think the βquiet Australiansβ must all be dead?
The sunburnt country has its limits and we donβt like blisters.
