💬 “This is a culmination of over a decade’s work…” Megan Davis, Co-Chair of the Uluru Dialogues explains how #TheVoice got to where it is today.

Transphobia is boring, cowardly and regressive. Anti-trans activism is not and never will be feminist. Attacking trans people has nothing to do with protecting women's rights. Those who pretend it does are either deluded or trying to justify their own ugly, hateful sadism.

Are we seriously having a public holiday because there's horse racing in Adelaide? We need better reasons; Don Dunstan safari suit day Stobie Pole day. Fritz A Rama Wave to oncoming motorists day (might just be a West Coast thing)

Where Women’s Leadership Development Programs Fall Short "for every woman you send to a leadership development program, send a proportional number of male leaders for inclusive leadership, allyship, or cultural humility development to improve their gender intelligence." 1/3

@BelindaJones68 @SummersAnne @JaneCaro So over a decade, cost of male violence against women may be in the same ballpark as the cost of the stage 3 tax cuts. Imagine if that money could be put towards VAW prevention & response? Would go a long way towards ending violence #in1generation dss.gov.au/sites/default/…

@JaneCaro @SummersAnne I'd like see some really smart ppl calculate the actual cost of male violence to the economy, everything, ie medical costs, counselling, parenting payments, court costs, work absences, gender & super pay gaps, the whole kit & caboodle NOT tackling male violence costs us a lot 🐝

Great, on point article by ⁦@SummersAnne⁩ I’d only add one observation - the majority of those struggling to exist on the parenting payment are women, the majority of those with over $3million in super are men. Co-incidence? smh.com.au/politics/feder…

@BelindaJones68 @SummersAnne @JaneCaro KPMG and PwC have both taken a crack at this several years ago, needs updating but a fairly conservative estimate today would be upwards of $26b/yr. The vast majority of this is borne by victim-survivors themselves

If we call coercive control 'emotional abuse', we miss all the other kinds of harms perpetrators are also causing, including the physical, economic and social harms. Let's try to keep all the harms in focus, so the level of danger perpetrators pose can be correctly described.

I think the easiest way to explain the current interest rate scenario is that within capitalism we should all work very hard to get lots of money, but if too many of us actually do get lots of money it ruins everything so there needs to be a system to force us to have less money.

Lovely pics from @mpbowers. Labor senator @JanaStewartVIC has brought her son, Ari into the chamber, which her office believes may be the first time a Koori/First Nations baby has been on the floor of the senate.

lizzo and adele’s reaction to beyonce losing album of the year is so real 😭 #GRAMMYs

The Northern Territory has the highest rates of domestic violence in the country. Now an Indigenous-lead initiative hopes to address the violence before it starts, starting with kids in the classroom. @samjonscher reports. #abc730

Today on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the lives that have been lost to transphobia and reaffirm our commitment to making society more trans inclusive.

A glimmer of hope in tackling gender-based violence exists in women’s representation in national parliaments. #MsReads via @pass_blue passblue.com/2022/11/07/the…

Today survivor advocates including Saxon Mullins, Bri Lee, Janelle O'Connor & Nicole Lee have all joined the #JusticeShouldntHurt campaign, pushing for reforms to how survivors are treated in court. @SaxonAdair @ng_mingnelle01 @bri_lee_writer @_Nic_Lee news.com.au/lifestyle/real…

I love the way disaster movies are like "there is ONE kind of dad and he is DIVORCED and UNRELIABLE and will SAVE THE DAY"

The murder and disappearance of First Nations women is a national crisis which demands a self-determined, community-led response by and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. #MMIW

@4corners @amymcquire @June_Oscar In our 2021 report Pathways to Safety, we discuss the key drivers of violence against First Nations women, and what must be done to end it. We need a self-determined National Safety Plan for First Nations women, by First Nations women, now. Read it here: changetherecord.org.au/pathwaystosafe…
