both the cop and daggy dad fall short. They offer rhetorical “protection” (a euphemism for control - Ed) in exchange for subordination to patriarchal authority yet never actually provide (see eg bushfires, pandemic, male violence). theconversation.com/strongmen-da...

Not legislating a ban to prevent the enormous harm gambling advertising causes is one of the greatest failures of this parliament. There was support to do it but the PM lacked the courage and chose not to. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

“Prime Minister Anthony Albanese overrode senior minister Michelle Rowland to shelve a clampdown on gambling ads and avoid a brawl with media and sports bosses…” He is pathetic.

Getting Pezzullo on to talk about governance is why people like me don't watch ABC news anymore. What next - Edie Obeid on mining, Andrew Theophanous on immigration, the ghost of Tirath Khemlani on the bond market? ABC management needs to extract its head from its mediocre arse

Apart from the comical attempt to frame the coming election loss as a victory for Dutton, there’s something wrong with a methodology that allows Libs to be “better on the economy” but worse on cost of living and housing. I mean…? Tl:dr The Oz is a joke.

a question for the cis women that believe the ruling of the Supreme Court is a good thing for women What do you think is going to happen when male police officers accuses you of being trans just to legally get your knickers off ?, do you see how this harms all women ?

This is tendentious nonsense. Maybe if your only concerns are the technical ones, but if you have ethical concerns this is like saying you should give slave-owning a try if you're worried that it's bad

🚨25 women and have already been killed in 2025. 103 women and 16 children were killed in 2024. Men’s violence against women is domestic terrorism. Women and children‘s safety needs to take centre stage in this election yet neither major party has announced any additional measures.

Yesterday the Supreme Court said (having refused to hear from any trans people): "this interpretation would not be disadvantageous to or remove protection from trans people with or without a GRC." Today. Trans women - and gender non conforming cis women - are now going to be 'frisked' by men. 👇🏻
