The west is declining because of troglodytes like him. - denies climate change and renewable energy - bows to US hegemony - keeps flogging the same agenda but hasn't realised his own party ditched him a decade ago - absolutely refuses to recognise the wold has moved on

What Pauline Hanson said a few years back in parliament about domestic violence genuinely shocked me, not because it was controversial, but because of how dismissive it felt toward women who have survived abuse. Telling people to "move on", "get over the hate" and suggesting domestic violence is too often used as a tactic to stop fathers seeing their children completely ignores the reality many women and children live through every single day. Because of her own bias and her sons DV conviction. Domestic violence is not just a bad breakup. It is not two people simply struggling to co-parent after separation. It can involve years of psychological abuse, coercive control, intimidation, fear, manipulation, financial control and physical violence that leaves lasting trauma long after the relationship ends. Women are not protecting themselves and their children because they are bitter or vindictive. Many are trying to survive situations that have deeply impacted their safety, mental health and wellbeing. What also disturbed me was Malcolm Roberts suggesting men "lash out in violence" because of the family court system. Violence is not an uncontrollable reaction caused by separation or custody disputes. It is a choice. Thousands of men experience heartbreak, conflict and family court proceedings without becoming abusive toward women or children. Excusing violence or framing it as understandable because a man is frustrated sends an incredibly dangerous message. What makes this even more concerning is that One Nation also wants to reduce abortion rights in Australia. So at the same time women are being told to stay quiet about abuse, "work together" and move on from trauma, they are also facing political attempts to reduce their autonomy over their own bodies. You cannot claim to stand for women while minimising domestic violence and supporting policies that reduce women's rights and choices. Women should not have to soften their trauma to make politicians comfortable. They should not be expected to quietly carry abuse, fear and lifelong emotional damage while being told they are overreacting or motivated by spite. Australia should be moving forward when it comes to women's safety, bodily autonomy and dignity, not backwards. Women deserve to be listened to, protected and taken seriously, not dismissed as angry ex-partners who simply need to "move on".

i will always stand with Grace Tame. Always. People hate to see a woman who won’t shut up when they want them to. But Grace has seen and endured too much. She isn’t afraid and it inspires me.

This is what an Emmy awards acceptance speech looks like. Kudos

Richard Marles claims Labor has been “forward leaning” in condemning Israels treatment of protestors. Mealy mouthed, performative, expressions of concern do not hide the fact that we have been weak and cowardly in not condemning Israel’s Trump backed, genocide of Palestinians.🤬

I don't care what side of politics you're on... If taxpayers are already paying you over $200k a year, don't be exploiting loopholes that are "within the rules" to squeeze even more out of them. Fucking leeches.

The NACC Commissioner accidentally emailing his resignation to the wrong person is inspiring. Even as he ended his run, his dedication to being completely incompetent held strong.

Albanese, free Dan Duggan & restore our democracy. Cease kowtowing to the unhinged and criminal USA. Restore our sovereignty!

Australia banned Huawei for a lot less than the evil creeping surveillance proposed by a prick like Thiel & his coked-up CEO Karp.

@ChrisMinnsMP is the absolute antithesis of Labor values and has done more to trash Labors brand than Mark Latham His pro Israel authoritarianism is totally opposite of a fair go Peace before war The right to strike and protest injustice He is the Orban of Australian politics @LabAgainstWar @DougCameron51

Does @RichardMarlesMP listen to ANYONE with sense - & a moral pulse? When did #China last behave with an ounce of the aggression demonstrated by ... and also ...? And Russia.) Creating China as a "danger" is a farce to justify bleeding our economy & enriching weapons "industry".

Very, very good. And now we need Roberts-Smith's polar opposite, @FreeDanDuggan , to be released. FOUR years, none of the fake charges proven, just treating an Australian citizen (& really good man) like a pawn in a game to appease some unknowns in the US administration. WHY?

Virtually all govt subsidies such as first home owner's grants end up going in the pockets of the seller as they raise prices to match. The halving of the fuel tax will result in exactly the same result, another subsidy to the fuel industry.

I wonder has it ever crossed @AlboMP ‘s mind that he had the opportunity to be a great PM, if he had ditched AUKUS, stopped fossil fuel approvals and subsidies, cracked down on the cancer of gambling, addressed community housing, called out genocide, instead he’s as bad as any.

The words of a real leader. A leader of courage and conviction. A leader who puts peace before craven compliance and subjugation of his nation to an illegal war and an autocratic warmongering US President. Well done Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez!

When asked whether he remembered Angus from his Oxford days, the Canadian PM Carney said "of course I do, he's the most qualified idiot I've met".

And how does @AlboMP respond? And how many deaths will "justify" this latest horror? And what propaganda will Australia's MSM swallow & regurgitate whole? And how will this advance the vile, no-longer-covert "Greater Israel" project with its insane Messianic "religious" claims?

.@PatConroy1 is drunk on Kool-Aid if he thinks “Australia and its allies can hunt Chinese submarines better as a result of AUKUS”. As the likelihood of getting new subs sinks in deep water, all that’s happening is our Collins subs are getting older #auspol thenightly.com.au/politics/a…

I don’t recognise ‘my’ Labor anymore. I held so much hope when Albo became P.M, I thought, finally we have a true progressive leading the party, one that will change our country for the betterment of all - how wrong I was. To say I’m bitterly disappointed is an understatement!
