OMG!! @Insiders please stop. You are fanning focus on terrorism and the words you just used were like a ‘how to’ guide.

Worrying when a political leader now knows that on the balance of probabilities a young staffer endured a serious sexual assault, is asked a question about what this means for other victims & then praises the judge, calls it a sordid affair and fails to answer the question.

Dear KmartAU, You have wonderful staff & many customers. Your company’s disrespect of both is quite shocking. Please employ more staff at check-outs. With earnings of $769 million last year, up 52.3% on the previous year, there is no excuse. Lots of people would love the jobs!

When did pulling your socks right up (literally) become a thing? I like it, it looks lovely, but just didn’t know it was fashionable. I saw Clueless, but this seems not quite as high a sock. I tried it in about 3rd class & failed then so not going to embrace it third time round.

Shocked and angry that a man who wants to be our PM is so divisive and provocative. Playing to fear and xenophobia. I am scared of what is going to play out in the lead up to the next election. #auspol

Pauline Hanson said it in 1998 after the Queensland court case. No one prompted her or said anything. She came out with it herself. "Freedom of speech does not extend by allowing people the right to defame others and to tell lies." #qldpol youtu.be/8XpDQp0Yfc0

Remember when Mr Dutton crucified the government over the Voice Referendum as he constantly agitated there was no detail (when it fact there was plenty). Now, we have absolutely no detail and it’s all about … trust me, I am a bold visionary who is building a nuclear future. 🥴

Before everyone starts suggesting that maybe Kyle Clifford was ‘suffering from mental health issues’ which ‘caused him’ to tie up and shoot three women, let me shoot some facts here: 1. There is not a single mental disorder listed or described in the DSM which states that it

The treatment of Imane Khelif on this platform & in media has been disgraceful. It’s shocking how quickly those with a powerful platform ‘shout out the window’ without waiting for facts. Hope apologies to Imane flow as quickly as the hate did! Bless you Skye Nicolson for speaking up.

Hearing how the weight of mounting pressure and media scrutiny broke a seasoned politician and confused why so many can’t see the weight of mounting pressure and media scrutiny as well as the ongoing trauma of rape broke a young woman.
