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.

It is the job of the artist to provoke, to be controversial, to be outspoken, to get us to think. Isn't that one of the main points of art? If we start cancelling every artist because they "create debate" then who the hell are we as a society? Craven cowards. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

I went to the same high school as Sam Kerr. So did two of the girls who were murdered by the Claremont serial killer. For decades, a taxi driver was the suspect. I cannot over emphasise the impact these murders had for girls who went to my school. The fear was drillled into us from 12 years old.

Racist hate speech is on the same continuum as racist violence and therefore requires attention, but drawing the same line so far as to ban peaceful protest activity is illegitimate authoritarianism. The NSW government is about to make that mistake.

Just because the costs of looking after the rich are hidden in complex interwoven trusts doesn't mean they aren't paid. A dollar of #tax that's evaded, costs the taxpayer as much as a dollar that's wrongly claimed due to #welfare fraud. #Auspol

I can't believe we're still covering this, but it is NOT a good idea to use an online website to generate "strong passwords." Even if the website operator pinky promises not to store the passwords it generates for you, it's still a REALLY bad idea.

Dutton’s nuclear plan doesn’t address the climate crisis for about 25 years, while its claimed cost savings of 44% are based on a comparison with Labor’s plan – that produces 45% more electricity. These are the glaring gaps and unanswered questions in the Coalition’s nuclear plan and costings.

We now have an answer on why Donald Trump picked the obscenely unqualified Pete Hegseth to run the United States Armed Forces: Hegseth has been working for some time to force a Constitutional Convention that would allow Trump to become a Forever King.
