ASIC Chair Joe Longo today repeated calls for greater diversity on company boards in the face of a mass desertion of DEI principles in the US following calls from the Trump Whitehouse. Questioned at Estimates, he suggested procurement rules could be used as an enforcement tool.

Living below the poverty line forces people to choose between things such as safety, food, healthcare costs, housing costs, utilities. Keeping this payment so low harks back to the deserving and undeserving, and the things that are unaffordable are basic human rights. #auspol

Afternoon Briefing, Lib James Stevens SA thinks tRump hasn’t changed at all and Dutt can do. How naive to dismiss former PM Turnbulls comment, this time it’s different. How ignorant to ignore everything he’s dismantling even in his own country. #AusPol #TrumpsTariffs #NoToLNP #Resist #NoToDutton

Sociologist Evan Stark has long labeled abusers’ dominating strategies as “coercive control.” Throughout his work, he highlighted that domestic abuse consists of far more than acts of physical violence. buff.ly/QjNY5Sv #DomesticViolence #Abuse #DomesticAbuse

"Authoritarians hate sociology because sociology’s mandate is to dissect society and criticize systemic problems. Sociology challenges power by scientifically observing it and publicly reporting on how power works."

Not all Jews are Zionists, and most Zionists are not Jewish. Zionism is a political ideology which upholds the western decision to drop an abusive apartheid ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization in historic Palestine & defend it by any amount of violence and tyranny necessary. #auspol

Australian women earn $28,425 less than men each year. That’s 78 cents for every $1 men make. Pay inequity leads to women’s poverty. WGEA data shows 72.2% of employers have a pay gap favouring men. Transparency isn’t enough—we need action to close the gap before the election.

"..his display of disrespect, dismissal, and transactional politics toward Zelensky sends a message to the world that the US can’t be trusted, and that our President has no principles other than his own ego." Trump is not democracy's ally. Trump cannot be trusted. #auspol

CNN, be honest, the screaming was coming from Trump & Vance. And it was inane. They're too emotional to be in leadership. Maybe they need to step back and let someone else handle this. Someone who isn't so emotional and aligned with Putin. Someone who isn't a dictator. Poor form, CNN. Poor form.

The Oval Office has long been a symbol of American leadership, diplomacy, and decorum—a space where world leaders engage in high-stakes discussions with mutual respect, even amid disagreement. Yesterday’s debacle shattered that image.

Katz wrote this before Trump and his cronies ambushed Zelenskyy. Trump's style of masculinity will hurt us all, and some more than others. "Trumpism and rightwing populism isn't a revolt against the 'elites'; it's a reaction to men being de-centered and a backlash against feminism." #Diversity

Happy to see Albo finally speaking up. OK with him focusing on Aussie policy vs Trump’s actions… Now need him to clarify our position on other things Trump has wrecked incl: - Public health & vaccinations - DEI policy reversal - Air safety of Aussies traveling - Gaza - AUKUS 🕊️💙🦋 #auspol

Zelensky found out what it was like to be a US governor in a blue state asking Trump for medical supplies during the pandemic. Or disaster relief after a wildfire or storm. It’s not his money, but he fully expects you to beg and plead for it and tell him how wonderful he is.

Trump's pick-me duds are as vapid as he is. Imagine trying to portray someone's choice of clothing as an insult as a means to join in with the bullies. Zelenskyy stylishly outclasses them in every way.

Yes, Albo, Russia is a bully. And Trump is blatantly Russia's bully. How can you stand with Ukraine and be part of AUKUS? Standing with Ukraine needs more than just words. It needs tangible and visible action, and now. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

The thing about bullies is, when you actually stand up to them, they fold like the house of cards they are Zelenskyy is showing the world how fragile this entire hyperstructure of global power is If we withdraw our consent, and build the world we need, it will crumble Do we have the guts?
