All the men (journos, politicians, public figures) now coming out of the woodwork to condemn David Van and say they “stand up for women” totally disgust the rest of us. Because a lot of these powerful men knew what David Van (and probably other men) were doing and kept it quiet or even helped their employers and mates weaponise these crimes against women. And all the while, women like Lidia Thorpe and others were frightened to walk around THEIR OWN FUCKING WORKPLACE. And all women are now too scared to report other sexual assaults, meaning the arseholes you’ve all protected are MORE fucking likely to commit sexual crimes in future as the women they hurt will be too afraid to do anything. YOU ALL FUCKING OKAY WITH THAT? Sure, there were a few women involved in the cover-ups and the media but the vast majority of those with power and control in this country are Australian men. And obviously, it’s still #NotAllMen but if it wasn’t the vast majority of you, we wouldn’t have got to this fucking point. Own your own fucking shit for once. Talk to EACH OTHER, not us. Stop asking or expecting women to march or vote differently or go to the police or otherwise take action to protect ourselves, because it’s YOUR gender to blame here. If there need to be marches, YOU fucking organise them (we can’t count the times men have said to us “I don’t have time” or “I don’t know how”, FFS). If politics has to change, it should be MEN taking the lead (newsflash: it’s not, not at all). If the media has to change, YOU take the lead in helping out with with boycotts and complaints and whatever else has to happen. Talk to your mates. Talk to your brothers, your fathers, your sons, your colleagues (especially your media colleagues), do whatever you need to fucking do that doesn’t involve some just some sobbing performative fucking virtue-signalling on Twitter. And own the behaviour of other men because sexual violence against women is a MALE FUCKING PROBLEM. For Christ sake, do fucking better. Gah. #MFWBoycott

Almost 40 years ago, the Franklin River was saved from destruction thanks to people power. 💪 @Franklindoco is a powerful and emotional reminder of what is possible when people come together and take a stand for nature. Find a screening near you: acf.to/3TKpWQi

@AlboMP Working together with the states for a new hospital for Albury Wodonga to provide safe care would be really appreciated

It is my opinion that the major parties cannot understand independents. And at the heart of that is community. They have become so disconnected from the communities that they represent that no map can help them find their way back.

Alexander Downer’s offensive insults towards Dr Monique Ryan on #QandA are OFF THE CHARTS. SO RUDE!! Why is he being platformed in this way? What a despicable character.

Heaps of volunteers supporting Helen Haines at Wodonga this morning. Loving the orange bunting and cockatoo made by the wonderful Indi Makers!

@ktbar0 @BBorderhealth Just goes to show that they were not listening to the health care professionals last week. Shame on them. Well they will hear our community and they will hear our healthcare professionals

@chelleCowan1 Me too!!

I’ll be there #betterborderhealth #albury #wodonga #standingupforAlburyWodonga

"Mr Morrison broke an election promise to introduce an anti-corruption commission and his pathway to creating one is still as vague as it was in the last parliament." I will never stop fighting for integrity theguardian.com/australia-news…

The orange cockatoo - an icon for #Helenhainesforindi 2022 campaign #Indivotes. Here volunteers have assigned one for people in each locality, town and city in the electorate. Many proud places, one united goal of independent representation. Together we are #Indi-visible!

Interesting thread from an #IndiVotes citizen seeking #TruthInPoliticalAdvertising to set the record straight. Thanks @teamturner2008 and thanks @helenhainesindi for always voting 100% for Indi, with #Integrity, #Ausvotes22 #IndependenceDay @bordermail @helenhainesindi
