Mardi Gras is a celebration, but Pride began as a protest. Now, resistance + solidarity matter more than ever. Many want to demonise and erase us, but queer people have always existed and always will. To my rainbow family – celebrate, resist, take up space. Stay safe + have a joyous Mardi Gras🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Andrew Charlton on #ABC730 makes a fair point. Even if Peter Dutton wasn’t insider trading, the country was in crisis and he deliberately and ruthlessly profited from the misfortune of others in the Australian community. #auspol

To be disabled is almost always to be traumatized. It’s living in a body that can’t keep you safe. It’s doctors dismissing you. It’s family and friends abandoning you. It’s living in a society that doesn’t see your value. It’s constantly having to prove your life is worth living.

At least $20tn is kept in Tax Havens. Before the 1960's Tax Havens didn't exist. It is time to get rid of them, your income must be registered to a country in which you pay tax.

Dept of Social Services disclosed private legal letters with the Catholic Church which were then leaked to The Australian newspaper and used in concert to try and silence survivors of abuse by a senior Church member. Yeah, it's nuts. But they admitted it. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

Because the first question shifts the blame to the desperate, making their morality the focus, while the second question demands accountability from the powerful. It's easier to question survival than to challenge greed.

There is a disturbing difference in the level of media & political outrage over some antisemitic graffiti and the unprovoked bashing of two Islamic women, one pregnant, who both needed hospitalisation. #auspol

“A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.” - Jimmy Carter

Surely it’s time we had a political party whose platform is to treat News Corp like the criminal organisation it is, ban government advertising in its publications and boycott its bent hacks masquerading as journalists.

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent. Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them. That's nasty work. Hope this helps!

She points to the consumer boycotts in apartheid-era South Africa, in which many black citizens refused to buy products from companies with white owners.

Remember Dutton wants to bring back Indue card, including age pensioners. Most of your $ inaccessible, only spendable at govt approved shops. No more markets, or ebay or gumtree, finding the best bargains so you can afford to get yr car fixed. And u can't spend it on wine or cigs. #auspol
