@stephbastiaan lol 😂 I thought the UK was mental but Australia is world class nuts. Enjoy

The Full Federal Court has handed down its judgement in Giggle v Tickle. In a shock to women across the country - Sall Grover not only lost her appeal, the Court set aside the original finding of indirect discrimination and replaced it with direct discrimination, upholding Tickle's cross-appeal. The damages were doubled from $10,000 to $20,000. It’s important to note the Court expressly said it was only applying the Sex Discrimination Act as it is written- it is "not empowered to give effect to its own view" about whether that law is desirable. In 2013, @JuliaGillard’s @AustralianLabor government amended the Sex Discrimination Act- stripping the meaning out of "man" and "woman" and adding gender identity as a protected attribute to be pitted against biological sex. Today's outcome is proof of what those amendments have done: women are left with no meaningful rights or recognition under the Sex Discrimination Act - a bitter irony, given that protecting women was the very purpose of the Act under our commitment to CEDAW. In my opinion, this is a verdict on the law, not on Sall. The judges found that the law - as that government amended it - left them no other conclusion. These amendments must be repealed. The Sex Discrimination Act must once again recognise biological reality and protect women's right to single-sex spaces. What a dark and devastating day for Australian women and girls. #RepealTheSDA2013 #IStandWithSallGrover #GigglevTickle #Auspol

@HantsPolice @TerrorismPolice You helped murder a white student. You racist scum

Pause for a moment — this information could help save lives. Counter Terrorism Policing is urging everyone to remember three vital words: Run Hide Tell. @TerrorismPolice

@onlinemaths @MrsEmmaWebber Seek forgiveness for yourself Barbara. You clearly need help

@MrsEmmaWebber There are so many Celeste's struggling to keep mentally unwell sons with zero treatment and support and the usual end being the loss of the sons or mothers. You clearly have not idea.

‘As a mother’…. You use that statement relentlessly Celeste Calocane. As ‘Barney’s Mum’ I can’t stand to witness a moment more of you. I’ve heard all I needed to. To confirm my instincts from early on that there is so much more to this family than your sanitised version of you all. Where is the father???? This inquiry will NOT be complete until he has been heard. Why are you so fearful of him being seen and/or heard?? I’m so disgusted. #nottinghaminquiry 💚💛

@jones_mog Hottest year Evah!

Crazy hail here in Cardiff - almost summer apparently 😂

@Nigel_Farage Looks like a nonce

My security team just found this journalist from The Guardian at my property. This is exactly why I need security. Completely unacceptable.

@AndyBurnhamGM @emilyhewertson Body Bags is back

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

@The_TUC A reminder that unions are scum

@TommyFleetwood1 @PGAChampionship Slow greens then…..

Tap it in!!

@GuidoFawkes Gaza Party will win that seat

ANDY BURNHAM will try to return to the Commons by taking Afzal Khan’s Manchester Rusholme seat. Khan has previously denied he would give up the seat.

@GBPolitcs @LivEchonews Another Welsher gone bad

🚨NEW: Murad Talhawie, 51, has been named as the suspect after a girl under 13 was sexually assaulted in Wirral, Merseyside [@LivEchonews]

@PlaidExposed Hard to have sympathy with the rural areas that voted Plaid. Idiots

🚨BREAKING🚨 The Plaid Cymru government’s new deputy transport minister, Mark Hooper MS, says “private car travel is a massive problem” and that “we need less car journeys, not the same or more”. We have an anti-motorist deputy transport minister, courtesy of Plaid Cymru.

@Keir_Starmer You still here?

My government will end the status quo that has failed working people. We will build a stronger, fairer Britain.

@MarcherReborn So over a £100 billion a year on debt interest repayment alone…… mental….. and unsustainable

Painful

@vonderleyen @EU_Commission Nonce

The @EU_Commission is PROUD🌈 Pride week is a celebration of love, identity, courage and community. And every day of the year, we work hard to make Europe a space where everyone can live freely, openly, authentically.

@Ed_Miliband How you posting from your padded cell?

After the second fossil fuel crisis in five years, it's clear that clean power is the only route to energy security. The Energy Independence Bill is the next step in our mission: tackling the affordability crisis, creating thousands of jobs and delivering energy security.

Hard to have much sympathy as the @metpoliceuk indulged the racist hate marches

@EdConwaySky It’s like an enemy state is writing the policy to destroy the UK. Miliband is a seriously mentally unwell individual

🧵The "Energy Independence Bill" just mentioned in the King's Speech is something of a bombshell. Why? Because it compels the govt to rally Parliament behind fresh legislation to ban new North Sea oil/gas licences (this has NOT been written into law yet). This is a v big deal!

As the Starmer government collapses, the chaps at @ByDonkeys finally break their silence.

@GuidoFawkes Good news for white girls that scum has gone
