Erika Kirk holds multiple degrees & runs businesses, got married at 34, & had her first child at 35. However she wants YOU to abandon scholarship, get married & have babies in your early 20s and trust your husband to care for you. None of the trad-wife spokeswomen are trad wives

Chanting “from the river to the sea” with a crowd could lead to criminal charges in Queensland, while down the road Pauline Hanson can say there are “no good Muslims” and be rewarded with headlines, airtime and rising support. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

It's OK Gus. We know how the Libs "save" money: • sack public servants & hire expensive contractors • purchase land off Liberal donors for 10X it's value. • buy water rights off some Ag company for more than the value ...you get the idea?

With unflinching accuracy, Niki Savva unmasks Australia's media game: "The Murdoch empire continues its mission to emasculate the ABC, at times ably assisted by the ABC," which "wilts" under pressure from politicians. The attacks on Laura Tingle. Endless "Dutton says". #auspol

Can we stop pretending the Coalition knows how to manage money? Thanks.

Oh, boo hoo.
Modern marriage scares men because the rules are not fair. A man can build a whole life, provide, protect, and sacrifice for years. Then one day she wakes up and says, “I am not happy,” and decides to leave the marriage. Then she takes half of what he worked for, and society claps for her like she won a trophy. That is why men delay marriage, not because men hate commitment, but because men are tired of signing contracts where the other person is rewarded for breaking it. Marriage today is not about love, it is about risk management. And smart men are reading the fine print.

JFC. I want a government who cares about its people. WHO cares about housing. Who cares about health & education. That cares about our future. This flag waving bullshit is the last thing I care about. How out of touch can the liberals be.

The problem with cuts to the Public Service announced as a priority by Angus Taylor and the LNP is that they would go back to wasting taxpayer money on private consultant mates rates. They have form.

Rightwingers when boys outperform girls: 'Girls are clearly intellectually inferior&ought to make babies, bake bread&have men lead them.' Rightwingers when girls outperform boys: 'Well clearly the school is set up to favour girls. It's the system that must be wrong.' Pathetic
Dr. Erica Komisar just said what many parents whisper but few say out loud: Modern schools are built for girls, not boys—and we’re paying a steep price. Little boys (ages 3–6) surge with testosterone. They need to run, jump, play, burn energy. Instead, we sit them in circle time, demand emotional regulation, and label normal boy behavior as ADHD or “behavioral problems.” Result? Marginalized, stressed, diagnosed early, and tracked that way through school. Her fix if she ran the world: Separate boys and girls in the early years. Boys get multiple recess periods, short focused bursts, and space to move. Girls get a calmer environment where they feel safe taking STEM/math risks. Both thrive when not forced into the opposite gender’s learning style. Single-gender early education: Boys try art/music without teasing. Girls try science without self-consciousness. Evidence already shows it works. Parents/teachers: Do you see boys struggling more in today’s classrooms—or is this overblown? What’s one change you’d make to education for boys right now?

My heart goes out to every migrant to this country who is going to be used as a punching bag by conservatives leading up to the next election as they strive to out do each other on who can be the more racist. Obviously this excludes migrants from Israel and Zionist supporters.

Why doesn’t any journalist ask Angus Taylor, WHY has he voted AGAINST every pay rise, every industrial bit of legislation that Labor put forward to help workers? Angus Taylor, Jane Hume, the LNP, Pauline Hanson and One Nation have voted against ALL pay rises and industrial laws including weekend penalty rates.

Billionaires do not create jobs. Stop saying it. Without billionaires, we would still build things, design things, teach things, sell things, buy things. Billionaires capitalise profits. That's it.

After no-fault divorce became law, suicide rates for women dropped 20%. Domestic violence deaths dropped 10%.. Overall domestic violence against women dropped 30%. That’s not nostalgia. That’s evidence. No-fault divorce didn’t “destroy families.” It saved women’s lives.

Whatever you think of Sussan Leys politics….which I am diametrically opposed to……she’s still a woman and a human with feelings. The way she’s been undermined by Angus Taylor, his RW slime ball backers and the LNP’s propaganda machine Sky after dark….is nothing short of disgusting. Never liked her politics, but I wish her well in her life away from politics and especially congratulate her announcing her resignation from parliament today and not humiliating herself sitting on the backbench. She can sit back and watch the Liberals LOSE her seat of Farrer to an Independent.
