My Facebook ban has been lifted.
THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who helped - especially @mattjcan and @BillboardChris.
I appreciate it so much. We have to be able to state the truth.
Men are not women.

Today, I was given a permanent ban of posting on my Facebook page, @Meta. The page can exist - apparently - but I am not allowed to post on it anymore. The page has been deemed controversial due to the Giggle v Tickle case and increased popularity of 25,000 new followers in a week. I don't want to labor the irony of being banned on a social networking platform while fighting in court for the right to ban men from a woman only social networking platform, it is what it is. Frankly, I'd love to have the same right that you do, @Meta.
Women are routinely punished for not accepting men as women. It doesn't turn those men into women. Nothing will.

Aussies pay 15% on income from $18-45k, and people earning less than $45k contribute around 2-3% of total income tax collected...the tax free threshold should be moved up to $45k! Would be incredibly helpful for people in their 20's just starting out.
English
"The bottom half of income earners in this country, pay only 3% of the (income) taxes"
Why are lower-middle income earners being slugged with tax rates like 30% for every dollar you earn over AU$45k, when they actually don't contribute much to the pile of cash from income tax?

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”

Barring Trump pulling a rabbit out of a hat in the coming weeks and months on Iran, and making me look like an idiot, this will continue to cement his legacy as the neocon warhawk president that very few people voted for, and that he successfully campaigned against in 2016

Trump on saying he doesn't think about Americans' financial situation: "It's a perfect statement. I'll make it again. Everybody agrees."

From the same outlet that pushed the fake poll 2 months ago, with 100% MAGA support for Trump, and 90% MAGA support for Iran war...now is running a 'buyers remorse' headline on the screen for the first 20 secs of this segment:
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Enten: "It's not just one poll. The five worst polls ever for any president on inflation, they all belong to Donald Trump and they have all occurred in the last month. What we're talking about here is the worst numbers ever. Joe Biden isn't in there. Jimmy Carter isn't in there."

Thing that makes me angry about the woeful budget position …. is that for most of our history Labor has hurt economy but then Libs come in and fix it.
But that last bloody Liberal govt broke the pattern. Abbott initially tried but then gave up. Turnbull bad but then Scomo blew it all up over a flu.
So then the Libs handed over a bad economy in 2022 to the guys who usually make it worse … and here we are.

I am absolutely devastated
Men who claim to be women have more rights than actual women in Australia.
It is women who are being discriminated against, not the men who claim to be us.
But in a sense, nothing has changed: we will all wake up tomorrow & men will still not be women.

Saw my first #glory on my @VirginAustralia flight from Melbourne to Brisbane! Absolutely beautiful auras of colour that appear when tiny water droplets scatter light back toward the plane, creating a magical #rainbow #halo . #sublimedivine #pilotsglory #orbs #weather #sublime

Fish head and no cannons, fish head and no cannons
Exec Sum@exec_sum
"I bet your little Asian, fish head, wife doesn't have these cannons" JPMorgan LevFin executive director Lorna Hajdini, quoted in an anonymous lawsuit by a junior male colleague accusing her of making him her sex slave Viagra, roofies, and balls not "tasting like curry" are some other astonishing highlights of the lawsuit that accuses Hajdini of rape, stalking, and abuse

$42 billion for a battery, but nuclear energy is soooooo expensive it should stay illegal?
You could build around 4 large reactors or 8 small modular reactors from the money spent on Snowy Hydro (based on even the CSIRO's numbers).
One's legal, the other isn't.

I wish we could just have a dashboard with all the data as state members of National Cabinet have suggested.
Instead of waiting for the Gladys and Dan style show like during the pandemic.

Energy Minister Chris Bowen has announced 58 fuel-laden ships are heading to Australia, with some expected to dock today as the government moves to secure supply.

Imagine your a leader of a nation, someone says, 15% of your goods economy is going to grind to a halt unless you pay whatever price you have to for oil
Are you going to beg, borrow and steal whatever you need to pay ~$200 a barrel?
Or do you let your economy fall off a cliff?

"While nations like Australia have the financial firepower to outbid developing countries that are net importers of jet fuel, if the crisis persists in the long term, bidding wars against other wealthy large net importer nations such as Germany, France, Britain and Switzerland, amongst others, are going to be a very different story."

$20 says this grunt and those like him will be the only ones prosecuted for insider trading, not the folks front running Trump tweets in markets and making hundreds of millions.

The long run meaning of Trump is to delegitimize the system. He was never going to save us. But he has made the ruling class ridiculous. He used social media to show we are ruled by fools.
Whatever comes next - this was a necessary revelation.

Latrell Mitchell upon receiving the Spirit of Anzac Medal for player of the match. He is on a self imposed media ban, but is able to say a few short words that are much more uniting, than many of the media and political class are able to dish up each year on our national days.
