This thread from @bearded_ninny is a test of your humanity. If you can read through it and continue to advocate for Let It Rip, argue that the death rate of Covid is really very low, or insist on putting your personal FreeDumb before the safety of the community, you fail. ❌

@RonniSalt @GabrielleKuiper A very accurate analogy. Unfortunately, it is likely to track closer than Gabrielle admits in her final paragraph. The end of the relationship will come amid catastrophe.

So I read this piece twice I needed to savour every word @GabrielleKuiper writes about climate change & the environmental destruction of our planet as abuse - an abusive, toxic relationship of coercive control from the powerful toward us, the citizens . johnmenadue.com/on-cognitive-d…

@HumanHeadline @TheThir68554058 @tonytardio There was no victim. It’s a bit of an unusual case.

@TheThir68554058 @tonytardio No. Victims' names are legally protected. And his relationship with the victim/s would not be revealed.

A man described as a Melbourne business figure has pleaded guilty child sex crimes. He has been spared jail but his identity is being suppressed for 2 decades. He has been given a 15 month suspended jail sentence and 3 year good behaviour bond.

@HumanHeadline @Dawny44977980 @tonytardio The prosecution won’t appeal this. It’s all there in the judgement which is available and uses the pseudonym “George Weaver” which unfortunately is the name of someone well known in the horse racing industry.

@Dawny44977980 @tonytardio The DPP should appeal but I am not certain that they can. A weird one.

@gld301218 @MikeCarlton01 “George Weaver” is the pseudonym used in the published judgment that you can read online. I imagine the horse trainer with the same name might be a bit perturbed by the sloppiness of the court official responsible for selecting that name.

@MikeCarlton01 Herald Sun headline (never heard of this person but he appears to be a "well-known racing identity"): George Weaver fronts court over chat about sexual abuse of children heraldsun.com.au/leader/melbour…

Why is this a secret ? Outrageous. It’s know what you know but who… abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…

@JaneCaro @Raf_Epstein @monaeltahawy made a suggestion a while back for how women could change their behaviour, but no one seemed to like the idea…

They kill us at home. They kill us when we’re out. I don’t know, @Raf_Epstein what do you suggest?

This is not an email I ever expected to receive or send.

@JohnPesutto Any responsible adult will understand having to make such a decision. Not ideal, definitely disappointing, but given the circumstances, and the increasing irrelevance of the Games, it’s the right call. An effective opposition is important. Haven’t we told you this isn’t the way?

The Andrews Government’s decision to scrap the 2026 Commonwealth Games is a massive humiliation for Victoria. This decision is a betrayal of regional Victoria and confirms that Victoria is broke and Labor simply cannot manage major projects without huge cost blowouts. JP

@bradpsychology @RonniSalt @mangotree_books @PeterDutton_MP How many people have any pride or care in anything they do? Just this week I’ve heard of registrars sending away a toddler in respiratory distress and refusing to do an X-ray on an elderly woman’s broken leg There’s a distinct odour of nihilism permeating almost every industry

@RonniSalt @mangotree_books @PeterDutton_MP Why don't journalists have more pride in what they do? Why isn't the headline, “Man with low approval ratings tries to grab headlines?”

This is purely about hijacking the news cycle @PeterDutton_MP's input into the new Reserve Bank governor is neither legally required, morally required nor required in terms of his actual expertise in economics His opinion on this is irrelevant The media playing with you again

@GeorgeMonbiot @AllanRSavory This ugly Western jousting and your obsession with conquest perfectly illustrates the paradigm underpinning our failure to care for the environment and each other. Instead of puffed up egos, what we all need, for mitigation or survival, is humility, kindness and cooperation.

Yesterday's debate with @AllanRSavory was utterly bizarre. He insisted on the title but flatly refused to address it. Instead he waffled endlessly about war. The temptation to ask him what he was doing in that war, and whose side he was on, was almost overwhelming.

@richo_1973 @RedJules4 @piersmorgan @therealroseanne Thanks for this morning’s dose of gratitude…Despite all of life’s uncertainty, I am almost guaranteed never to encounter that woman in person🙏🏻😌 (it was bad enough with the sound off)

Okay, this is powerful. #auspol

@PatsKarvelas @KosSamaras Def strong hair envy vibes 😉 Must be wearing at times, but hang in there - eventually they’ll reach critical mass and implode

@KosSamaras They really seem to love running pictures of me. They just like my hair?

Why the pile-on ABC journalists? It all relates to something very primal. Gerard Henderson writing for his key target audience. Very old men, who grew up in an Australia that promised them status based on which school they went to and what network they were able to purchase via family connections. Journalist like @PatsKarvelas drives these dudes crazy because, she, along with many other female journalists, reminds Gerard and his mates that their world is gone.

@liammendes While the entire campaign is a clumsy and pathetically obvious attempt at distraction, your contribution is truly gross @liammendes. Do you do this to blokes as well, or do you reserve your creepy stalker stuff for women only?

Finance Minister Katy Gallagher was defiant and all but silent as she flew into a Canberra firestorm over her knowledge of Brittany Higgins’ rape allegations, as PM Albanese’s ministers prepare to “back her to the hilt” against a Coalition onslaught in parliament this week.

@read_about_it @mrtonymartin @SteveMolk 😂 was just thinking that the last time I saw a young person ordering a cappuccino was in 1982 at Chadstone. She’d be about 65 now

@mrtonymartin @SteveMolk No. And no- one under the age of 65 drinks cappuccinos.

Cartoonish boomer on 3AW talkback saying that millennials could afford a house if they'd simply stop spending all their money on 'cappuccinos and 70-inch TVs'.

@GrayConnolly No. This is not working mate. I see it every night. It’s bad. Working Australians are not causing the inflation they are trying to address. It’s a train wreck.

@conniecoburg @Leo_Puglisi6 Thanks! Typed a whole response explaining Mauritian names before reading your reply🤦‍♀️

@Leo_Puglisi6 under the pic - ASP Committee, left to right: Mario Tzouvani, Bryan Kavanagh, Didier Babet, Daniel Huppert, Greg Orfanidis, Peter Jackson truthnews.com.au/web/radio/stor… Ralph Emmanuel Didier "Deej" Babet is an Australian politician and a member of the United Australia Party.

in 2010 the Australian Sovereignty Party was formed anyone else recognise the guy third from the left?

@dearlove1990 @Leo_Puglisi6 @katie8491 What’s his full name? Mauritians usually have a few first names. Australians tend to use the first name that appears, but it’s often the name immediately preceding the family name that is their actual name…

@Leo_Puglisi6 @katie8491 Are you sure Leo? It’s captioned elsewhere as Didier Babet. Or is Ralph a name he’s since adopted?

I decided to share my experience as the social media producer for @QandA After Stan’s departure, I’ve seen a lot of finger-pointing by individuals and media organisations. I wrote this article as a reminder of how we could all be complicit. abc.net.au/news/2023-05-2…

@neryssaazlan @QandA Brilliant article Neryssa - a strong message delivered with great empathy and kindness. We can all do better if we’re honest with ourselves

@lizb_2010 @Anthony_Klan They don’t even raise their heads from the trough. They’re so supremely ignorant of wider society that they feel utterly immune to any detrimental effects.
