@horrormuseum It’s called setting boundaries, and he is absolutely within his right to do so

We have heard from numerous people who have worked with him, Russell Crowe is very fair and very cool, but if you push him, he will more than push back! And honestly, that's the way it should be, because people can be so obnoxious and awful to celebrities.

@Potstirrer111 Meanwhile both my sons moved from rural Aus to UoW (off campus, couldn’t afford on) & are struggling financially. We’re doing the best we can to help them but it’s not easy. Jobs are so hard to get there.

Fuck me just send these people home. How did they get approved in the first place.

We never needed a black woody.

@longdepzai_n It’s a learned behaviour

When a child has a bad attitude 😂😂

@IfindRetards You won’t die of skin cancer in England is a pretty bold statement to make up so you think you sound smart

Retard tells white Australians to "Fuck off back to England" Calls out racists while being racist. Typical leftist retard.

@Kittenwaffin Why is filming herself eating? To show she can use a fork and almost chew with her mouth closed?

This woman is ready to come unglued because a White woman told her baby she was beautiful. Don't go out in public if you can't handle society.

HOLY SHIT! THATS THE TRIFECTA! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@MyLordBebo What I’ve learnt in the comments is most of the Australian’s replying seem to think the East Coast and the beach is ALL of Australia

Waiting for “Big Shoe” to spread some feet virus or something to push shoe sales in Australia

@RealityPrimero @modernhistory The evolution of language is beautiful and fluid

@modernhistory Shocking lack of linguistic or semiotic knowledge or an appreciation for the human mind in these comments. This young man's expression is absolutely fascinating, IMO.

The Hadzabe language, spoken in East Africa, is one of the most difficult languages ​​to transcribe into writing.

@ShineMo40710472 @AsianDawn4 This!

@AsianDawn4 She's blaming the employee for following her, but she should be blaming other blacks. At this point, only a fool would call it racism. It is a reputation that blacks have worked hard to earn.

🇨🇳 Black female tourist in Shanghai, China, gets followed inside a store by an employee so she won't steal anything...

@it_canbeblanc Common sense is out the window and priorities are all messed up :(

@freetrog77 People are getting all twisted up about the wrong things right now. A poor little girl has died, and that's what people complain about to you.

@it_canbeblanc Sorry mate, I deleted it because people were getting stupid that I wrote it in Wiradjuri and not the language of the Arrunda people.

@freetrog77 Can you translate that to English please? Thanks

@P_bogan @JNampijinpa How come you did not read the post?

@JNampijinpa How come you have named the child?

TRAGIC CASE HIGHLIGHTS A NATIONAL DISGRACE The death of five-year-old Sharon Granites has had a profound impact on families across the Northern Territory and beyond. Like many Australians, I am devastated by the news that she has been found dead, and my thoughts are with her family and loved ones. As more details emerge, the focus must remain on supporting Sharon’s family and the work of authorities. (The name Sharon Granites is used in this article to ensure she is not reduced to a statistic. When speaking of her, I will call her Kumanjayi Little Baby in appropriate cultural settings.) Alongside that grief sits a question that cannot be ignored. How did this happen? It is a question that demands honesty. For too long, there has been a reluctance to speak plainly about the conditions in and around town camps. In reality, too many have become environments where safety is not guaranteed, particularly for children. There is constant movement. People coming and going. Individuals with long criminal histories moving in and out. Alcohol restrictions that exist on paper but are not enforced in practice. Overcrowding. Poor maintenance. Limited oversight. These are not new observations. The town camp now at the centre of this case is one I know well. It is a place where I have lost family. A niece was stabbed to death there. Another child in my extended family was killed in an accident at the front of that same camp. There have been too many lives lost in that place alone. And yet, these conditions persist. We know from Closing the Gap data that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children remain among the most vulnerable in the country. The Northern Territory continues to experience the highest domestic and family violence rates in the country. Approximately 100 women have been killed by intimate partners over the past 25 years. In 2024, seven of the nine homicide victims in the Territory were linked to domestic and family violence. These are not just statistics. They are indicators of risk. That risk too often goes unaddressed. Despite this, billions of dollars continue to flow through Indigenous organisations, land councils and local governance structures, yet the conditions on the ground tell a different story. The question is whether those outcomes are being delivered in practice. Where town camps remain unsafe and vulnerable people are exposed to harm, accountability is unavoidable. Pointing to funding levels is not enough. Nor is pointing to programs. What matters is that those investments are translating into safer lives. In too many cases, the answer is no. There has been a longstanding call for greater scrutiny. For an examination of how resources are allocated, how decisions are made, and whether those responsible for delivering outcomes are being held to account. I have raised these issues in Parliament. I have called for greater scrutiny of how funding is being used and for stronger action to protect vulnerable women and children. I have called for a broader inquiry into violence in our communities. This moment demands that they are not ignored any longer. An independent inquiry must now be on the table. Not only into the circumstances surrounding this case, but into the broader conditions that allow such vulnerability to persist. That includes the governance of town camps, the role of organisations responsible for their upkeep, and whether current laws and enforcement mechanisms are adequate to protect the most vulnerable. Because if they are not, they must change. Too often, difficult conversations are avoided. There is a reluctance to speak plainly about what is happening in some communities. Silence does not protect anyone, including women, children and families such as Sharon’s. We cannot continue to accept a situation where environments of known risk remain unchanged. Where warning signs are visible, but action is delayed. Where funding is substantial, but outcomes fall short. We have the resources. We have the knowledge. What is lacking is the willingness to insist on accountability and to follow through with meaningful reform. Sharon Granites is not a statistic. She is a little girl, part of a family, part of a community and part of this nation. Her death has forced a spotlight onto long-standing issues. The question now is whether we will respond to that reality. Not with rhetoric. Not with temporary measures. But with the seriousness it demands. Because until we do, the same question will continue to be asked. How did this happen? And why, when the risks were clear, did we allow them to remain?

@JNampijinpa You KNOW what you’re talking about and I hope the powers that be LISTEN and do something to break this cycle

@colwight When this becomes everyday life it’s hard to break the cycle. Education is the key but the lock’s rusted solid

I’m going to say something really contentious, but… The tragic death of this indigenous girl has got Australia up in arms. But the problem is that White Australia simply has no idea how to deal with its indigenous population. And the way it’s trying is to turn them into Europeans at the same time as they’re extolling the virtues of indigenous culture is going to lead to conflict. And the townships these people live in aren’t necessarily starved of money and resources. I don’t have any answers, but dragging an ancient culture into the 21stC is never going to work, and if it it going to work it’s never going to be easy. There are no right answers here. abc.net.au/news/2026-04-3…

@JohnOberg @rcbregman Saw something like this with goldfish in Bangkok a few years ago in the markets in the pet section :( it was sickening

If you thought we've run out of ways to be cruel to the animals we eat, someone invented this process. 😡 Can you imagine the claustrophobia, confusion, & terror these #fish will endure? 😢

@RealMattKing MATT!!! Oh my goodness!! Sending all the healing vibes

It's true. I had a rare stroke of the spinal cord on Sunday. I was initially paralysed but was rushed to The Royal Sussex and the staff have been amazing. Can walk again, a bit. My legs were jelly, man. It didnt feel fucking brilliant. Thank you for all the love and kindness. 🩵

@littlemykonos Your second sentence is exactly what he was talking about!

The grandfather of the abducted aboriginal child has blamed white man for not giving money. Um.. we do, it’s just that it’s laundered through politicians.

@Grahame_ @AlboMP Lydia Thorpe’s “mob”

@AlboMP What the fuck happened to all the billions we send to make these indigenous communities safer? Who got the money?

Our hearts are broken that the case of the little girl missing in Alice Springs has had such a tragic ending. The girl, who the family has asked be referred to as Kumanjayi Little Baby, was only five years old. She was just at the start of life's adventure. This is the tragic outcome we were all desperately hoping against. No words can measure up to the immensity of the grief her family is going through. In their time of terrible loss, all Australians hold them in our hearts. This is devastating for the whole Alice Springs community, which came together to find her. We wish them strength, and also to the police in their difficult work as they pursue answers and, ultimately, justice. May Kumanjayi Little Baby live on in every heart she ever touched.
