God I wish the legal system and the media put as much effort into dealing with real racism as they have put into trying to portray Sam Kerr as racist even after she was acquitted of the charges she was so stupidly made to face in a court of law while people actually suffer real racism every day.

It’s wild to me that so many people feared and subscribed to a right-wing conspiracy theory that a cabal of elites was working behind the scenes to orchestrate global events. And then they… voted for it.

Did you see this news!? Heather Ruddock, the wife of former attorney-general Philip Ruddock, has quit the Liberal Party. She said an unnamed federal Coalition MP told her that tertiary-educated women were “not the demographic we’re going for” So she's voting independent🔥

Can’t see any coverage of Rupert Murdoch’s grovelling apology, admissions or $A20m damages payout to Prince Harry/Tom Watson for sooling privacy invaders onto them and Harry’s mum, the late Princess Diana. Commercial decision of course .. but dishonourable nevertheless.

FFS #BradBattin, there is no "anti-Australia Day" movement. There is a campaign to shift the date, but not eliminate it. Facts matter. If you are seriously trying to be elected, stop treating Victorian voters like idiots. #auspol #springst

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

High Court rules that Catholic priests are not employees. If so the church is not entitled to all the generous tax exemptions from which they have benefited by claiming priests ARE employees. SMH letter writer raises a good point. 👇 C’mon ATO.

It's absurd Catholic priests aren't considered employees, but rather independent contractors, so the church has no liability for pedophile priests they knowingly moved from parish to parish. Hopefully state attorneys general will change the law to retrospectively cover religious institutions #auspol
