#ICYMI: "You feel, very much based on the colour of your skin, that there are avenues in this country that are just not yours, and you accept that." Does the idea 'you have a go, you get a go' apply to everyone, equally? Jan Fran believes there's more at play. #TheDrum

The Prime Minister urged women to come forward to disclose sexual harassment + assault just minutes before he WEAPONISED one of these such disclosures as a defence strategy for his own failings. I am furious. Women are furious. This is disgraceful. #EnoughIsEnough #auspol

Is Scott Morrison’s commitment to support women genuine? #QandA
