This is a very cool thing. Annabel Sutherland is the first woman to score a test century at the Melbourne #Cricket Ground, and they've already put her name up on the honour board, just like they would for a man who scores a century. No fuss, no controversy, no separate board for the ladies. Classy.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!

I will continue to teach about these heroes, including in my current WW2 class, as was on the syllabus long before Trump tried to suppress these histories.

Can we get people to focus on the fact that Greenlanders have EU status (which is kinda valuable) and that 90% of Greenlanders are indigenous Inuits?? No, they don’t “want to be with us.” This is straight up imperialist menace and a prelude to war with Denmark. A nightmare.

Just to be clear, Australian law definitely doesn’t say we need to blur Nazi salutes in news reports come on, folks.

Who gets the benefit of the doubt?A teenager tagged by cops as a gang member b/c he shops at a particular bodega or wears the wrong color? A Black man the NYPD decides is “furtively walking”? OR a white man from apartheid S.A. who posts antisemitic/racist stereotypes & endorses the Nazi adjacent 1/

History shows Peter Dutton's nuclear policy will cost a lot more than $330 billion. But journalists don't seem too interested in that, writes Bernard Keane.

As a Jewish woman living in Australia, I am far more likely to be attacked and murdered by a pathetic little man who feels somehow slighted than I am in danger of any antisemitic attack. The imbalance in the responses to almost 100 dead women is very telling. #auspol

You may be wondering about this in respect of current events, but rest assured history amply demonstrates that it is always better to rush to conclusions than wait for actual evidence.

When Peter Dutton releases the nuclear ‘costings’ later this week (as he’s committed) keep your eye on what’s actually at stake - the necessary energy transition
