597 Indigenous deaths in custody since 1991 Royal Commission into the phenomenon -- Australian Institute of Criminology. 597 -- Let that sink in. Clearly there is some very strange business going on here.

You see, once wealthy people have started exploiting a tax minimisation strategy, it is forever immoral to tighten the rules.

I was one of 450,000 Australians that were hounded for 18 months with a false Robodebt. I’m furious Morrison was awarded the highest honour for ignoring lawyers and illegally chasing us and allowing his ministers to call us criminals.

If arrested 200 kms from Gaza, then this was on the high seas and the arrest was unlawful under both the law of the sea and international humanitarian law. The forced 're-education' is also clearly unlawful. www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

I beg the Australian gov. Take sanctions against Israel. End the blockade. Support the flotilla that’s waiting to bring food into #Gaza that has not seen food for a frighteningly long time. Never let it be said that Australia assisted in starving a nation to death. #Auspol youtu.be/1R8JHrNAlYM

If you're speaking up about the American gestapo shooting a white Australian journalist, that's wonderful, but have you also noticed the 200 plus Palestinian journalists murdered with impunity by the same power bloc? It's been live-streamed for nearly two year now. 🤷‍♂️

And the 1990 royal commission into deaths in custody, maybe they have tried to implement 1 or 2 recommendations, it is all sitting there, imagine how many people would still be alive today if they had implemented all.

Those concerned about violence might want to start with violence against immigrants, by ICE here, by illegal deportations to gulags and third countries, the violence against so many federal departments, against the law, the climate, the public lands, waters, civil rights, reproductive rights...

“Angel Marina wrote a letter demanding the dismissal of his line manager, the Commissioner for ACT Revenue, explicitly citing the Commissioner’s Aboriginality as the basis for this demand.” [It] should have triggered immediate disciplinary action against Marina” But it didn’t. WHY NOT?

This unfortunate day I find myself admiring my favourite photo of Scott Morrison… We have to look for silver linings. Tony Abbott has an AC. Mark Leibler has one. Ita Buttrose has one. Even Rupert Murdoch has one! Now ScoMo 🤷🏻‍♀️ But we ensured Peter Dutton will NOT get one! 🕊️💙🦋 #NotDutton #auspol

Word of the day, from Pennsylvanian Dutch, is ‘ferhoodled’, meaning ‘tangled’ or ‘all mixed up’. Can be used of anything from a sock drawer to life.
