“The constitution is a profoundly racist document, an expression of White Australia, of settler history, with the concepts of Australia having been “discovered” by Europeans under the fiction of terra nullius,” writes Barry Jones. satpa.pe/wAIhv3X

@mrseankelly So much is ‘politically inconvenient’ for dutton. And when it is, he destroys families, livelihoods and lives. He is no leader.

Dutton may face questions, but no royal commission can fix cruelty. That’s up to us. this week's column smh.com.au/national/dutto…

@instanterudite The dutton/pezzullo command & control model has been well known for years. They actively created the kinds of organisational culture problems that other institutions have spent years trying to stamp out.

Dutton & Pezzullo’s Dept of Home Affairs oversaw contracts worth millions to companies they knew were channelling huge bribes to corrupt MPs, and is now desperately lying to the Senate about them. All to keep open gulags in which to imprison - & sometimes kill - refugees. #auspol

@Kate_FitzGibbon Australia is increasingly an unsafe place for women - physically, professionally and psychologically. It is shameful. With all the resources we have has a country, priorities MUST change.

In the three hours since I first posted this article (read below 👇🏼 ) I’ve been alerted to yet another woman in Australia killed by men’s violence. This is a national crisis. And yet there is a deafening silence. Do we accept this level of women’s insecurity and women’s death?

The known but ignored truths are now in the open. Whatever their preference & however they’re implicated, the Govt can’t ignore it. It’s long been said a Royal Commission into our unfathomable treatment of refugees was inevitable. The time is now. #auspol smh.com.au/national/nauru…

Masculinity and Violent Extremism: This new book, free in PDF, explores the links between masculinity and violent extremism, including men's attraction to violent extremist movements and terrorism. See xyonline.net/content/mascul… @DrJoshuaRoose @moral_psych @SimonCopland

Violence against women is a national crisis. In the last fortnight at least 6 women in Australia have died allegedly as a consequence of men’s violence. Action is possible. Read our article on the immediate actions & transparent outcomes needed: lens.monash.edu/2023/07/27/138… #VAW

The notion that the enemy doesn’t follow the rules so we don’t have to either has been used time and again to justify numerous war crimes through history. Currently writing a paper with @NC_Renic and @JCWolfendale, explaining how apologist narratives work. Never been more urgent.

Richard Boyle is in court next month. David McBride is in court in November. Julian Assange is in prison. Labor was elected more than a year ago - what are they doing to step up for whistleblowers?

“It is astounding that it is not illegal to lie in political advertising, and so it is not illegal to lie in the referendum campaigns for the Voice,” writes former Liberal MP Julia Banks. satpa.pe/VEnGCNP

Sam Crompvoets, the sociologist whose investigation into the Special Forces would ultimately lead the downfall of Ben Roberts-Smith, is now trying to rebuild her life after intense backlash.

@markwillacy Try harder @AWMemorial What will also go down in history is how long you chose to glorify a known war criminal.
