Just a point here. Coercive relationships are not limited to domestic violence. Some parents think threats and controlling behaviour are the best way to parent children. Some men behave in a coercive and controlling way to all their relationships

I read here that Little Greg Sheridan is on The Drum again, posturing as some sort of foreign policy guru. Christ alone knows why the ABC keeps inviting him. I like to remember that he once hailed George W. Bush as “the new Winston Churchill.”

BREAKING: we have just found out that the only direct support given to Lismore City Council by the state government has been a $1m grant - the same as every one of 45 councils in declared disaster areas

We need to act as if we don’t want them to fail.

This police officer has ‘form’. The judge found he lied in this case. This is why the justice system is will never bring us justice. abc.net.au/news/2022-03-1…

Loving the cricket between Australia and India. As absorbing is test cricket ever gets

I’ll say it now. I hope Australia wins, but I think India could easily win the world test championship. They are just playing beautifully and I don’t think we got enough runs. Tomorrow will be gripping

Poms need about 13 wickets instead of the usual 10 to account for what the wicket-keeper drops

We’re putting Matildas v England on the big screens at Allianz and CommBank Stadiums!

Great to see @billshortenmp & Linda Reynolds defending the rights of Australians with severe disabilities to get essential support. "Every Australian is just “one slip or car accident away from also potentially needing a large #NDIS plan”. #auspol theaustralian.com.au/nation/politic…

The only positive to emerge from this test is the emergence of cricketetal.com as the only cricket writing worth paying for in Australia. Coverage of the Test (and periphery) was superb. Haigh and Peter Lalor not confined to a daily word count. Delicious.

Watching South Sydney Rabbitohs 🐰 playing the Warriors, what a game. Mitchell is just an incredible athlete. Without him and Johnstone would be really in strife today.

Israel deliberately targets and murders five Al Jazeera journalists. There can be no other explanation. It is a brazen war crime by the Netanyahu gang.

I’ve reported 18 wars over 35 years. I’ve been shot at, kidnapped, threatened, nearly raped. I’ve lost friends from Sarajevo to Syria. I thought I’d seen the worst of humanity. I was wrong. Nothing compares to Gaza — or the complicity letting it happen. #GazaGenocide #WarCrimes

It is deeply shocking. Makes demands for western journalists to be allowed in - not embedded with IDF - even more urgent.
