So the ICJ rules that Palestinians are in dire circumstances and there’s a case for Israel committing acts of genocide and you pause funding… for a Palestinian refugee charity? Based on allegations from the country committing the genocide? Got it.

If the NSW Police force has ANY decency, they will withdraw from the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade out of respect for the victims’ family & community. It’s bad enough we’ll have to see that uniform at all, let alone cheering themselves on in the country’s biggest pride event.

Disgusting to hear NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb refer to the murder of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies as a “crime of passion.” Murder is not a crime of passion. Domestic violence is not a crime of passion. That term is extremely problematic and vile. amp.9news.com.au/article/ec649f…

This makes me so indescribably sick. To make a joke of legitimate concerns from queer people about the police investigating the murder of two of our own by using Taylor Swift quotes is vile.

For decades, Queer and Black people have been brutalised and murdered by police, and cops still don't face real accountability. I welcome the decision to keep police out of Mardi Gras - this comes after years of campaigning by the community. Read more 👇 lidiathorpe.com/mr_cops_out_of…

Great interview with David Shoebridge about just how complicit Australia is in Israel’s bombardment of Gaza. junkee.com/is-australia-c…

"The Albanese government desperate to keep the AUKUS deal on track... The end result [the government] are just willing to ignore the reality of what’s happening in Palestine." junkee.com/is-australia-c…

Very cool and humbling to be nominated for a Samsung IT Journalism Award alongside some very talented people

Chris Bowen on the School Strike 4 Climate: “Dialogue is more valuable than holding a placard and yelling. That’s not the way to convince people.” #auspol junkee.com/longform/chris…

As someone who’s engaged in many protests, climate related and many others, it disturbed me when Chris Bowen told me he doesn’t really listen to protests because he doesn’t think they are effective. I feel like history would prove him wrong on that. junkee.com/longform/chris…

Tanya Plibersek wants you to care about fast fashion… but only if you take responsibility and not the government. junkee.com/longform/tanya…

My grandmothers and mother have always instilled in me that “Our Children are our Future” – we need more young people directing our future. Yarning with Ky from Junkee about all things Federal politics including Treaty and Genocide, have a listen! junkee.com/longform/lidia…

This is the type of coverage that makes young women never want to run for office.

I spoke to Junkee about Palestine, the power of the student encampment movement, Labor's Trumpian immigration bill, and the politics of the future. You can read the article here: junkee.com/longforms/davi…

personal issues aside, the people affected by the cuts at Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Kotaku, vice and R29 today are some of the best and are still a large part of my life. not only does my heart hurt for my former team, but for the state of journalism in this country

Gaslighter.

Leaving aside the Mardi Gras issue, it is revealing that this article reports government MPs or sources providing three different sets of excuses for abandoning LGBTIQ Australians in the Census - and none of them stand up to any scrutiny. #auspol 🧵1/ smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Perfect example of how the Coalition flooded the zone with shit. There are no security concerns. No one has left Gaza for Australia since May. They created an issue out of thin air on a random weekday and now ppl are thinking of an imagined problem rather than our very real ones

managed to condense all my thoughts about how damaging this census fiasco is junkee.com/articles/austr…
