The real problem with multiculturalism and families like Mamdani's is that they prove that we can live together and thrive, thaat we are better together and that any kind of supremacy is bogus and the conservative's love of segregation as the natural order of things is a lie.

A great day for (among many other groups) anyone who watched Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding in Year 12 English and thought "oh this is quite good, I bet she has a cool son"

Turns out journalist’s quote-posting news stories is actually fine. We needed a court case to find this out.

The bullying that leads to suicide, which the bill is supposed to prevent, is most often done by peers. WhatsApp etc should be the target for bans rather than the exception

Making kids watch YouTube without logging is in many ways worse than no ban. The amount of conspiracy, misinformation and AI lies that gets served up when not using an account is horrendous

Yup, international law is just so quaint and nostalgic when our allies are the ones breaking it. But God forbid someone we have designated a threat step anywhere near the lines we’re hastily pretending never existed

'Pregnant women' leaves out pregnant girls. The anti-trans extremists' obsession is exactly that. They see every phrase, every issue as related. Phrases like 'Pregnant people' never noticed in 25 years of me updating Australia's bestselling pregnancy book, Up the Duff, until anti-trans nonsense.

Frog tied some string around the box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.” “But we can cut the string and open the box,” said Toad. “That is true,” said Frog.

Three journalists asked three different ways if Australia provided any support and got the same answer... Nobody thought to back this journalist up asking if it was legal?

Dunno. If I were Foreign Minister I’d check whether something was legal before committing my country’s support

The description of publishing 'reluctantly getting on board' was funny. What genre - with all its subgenres - radically outstrips all others and has done for YEARS without letting up? Romance. This was an engaging piece and a fun bookshop! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
