Compliant journalists in the UK, US, Australia suppressed the significance of the outrage of the #Assange trial: the obscene bias, the studied cruelty. Is this the press freedom we are fighting for? The Guardian's deceit about its role in unredacted cables shames real journalism.

Worldwide support for Julian #Assange continues to inspire. Catalonia's parliament - which itself has suffered injustice - has declared, "The repression against Julian #Assange is lawfare: the continuation of war by using legal systems". Eloquently put. bit.ly/Assange_Catalo…

A pandemic is declared, but not for 24,600 dead every day from unnecessary starvation, or 3,000 children dead every day from preventable malaria, or the countless daily dead from America's blockade on Venezuela and Iran and its bombs on Yemen. Before you panic consider them.

The homeless are the real forgotten people. How do you self isolate if you are homeless? No govt plan for more public and social housing as demand increases and homelessness surges as economy weakens. Jobs could be created, houses built, and lives saved. theguardian.com/world/2020/mar…

I watched the young check out chick at Coles Supermarkets in the Clarendon Centre South Melb pay the remaining $9 on a pensioners bill when she didn't have enough. I offered but she had already put it through. The good news story we need in and amongst the selfish & pig headedness we've seen

The teachers at my son’s NSW state public school are preparing for on-line learning. From a standing start they have hurled themselves into the task with enthusiasm and professionalism. I am so proud of them, and so grateful. Mark Scott

A deep awareness of the goodness of human beings, that they are essentially kind, helpful, and gentle, can give us courage and hope. On a personal level too, such a vision of our basic nature can help promote a greater sense of well-being and connectedness with others.

Is there any sense at all to allowing people to flow in and out of a hairdressing salon all day but not in to a nail bar? Why put hairdressers at risk? Who honestly decided that they be deemed an essential service?

Today is hard. I’m a victim of child sexual abuse, within the Catholic system. My perpetrators, and those that enabled them, haven’t had to face their crimes. I long for them to say sorry, to validate my suffering - recognition. Solidarity to all my peers. Today is hard.

Society is comprised of people. Caring for people is about saving society. The real moral dilemma of our time is allowing the wealthy minority to control the lives of the majority with perverse policies which see the have-nots financially support the haves.

It is now ILLEGAL to take a video of uniformed police in Tucson Arizona. You can now be arrested for taking a video or charged up to $750. We are slowly losing our basic rights.
