@Thelma_DWalker How did you know it was a bloke?

I came home from Canterbury on the bus yesterday. A trans woman boarded the bus. She looked beautiful. There was only one free seat facing the rest of the passengers. I just thought, what courage does that take? Love and solidarity with the trans community.

@craigkellyAFEE @LofayPeter It’s too embarrassing to admit that it’s an expensive and destructive dud, so they will keep pouring money into it no matter what.

It makes me weep over the economic and environmental destruction of this giant white elephant. When I was part of the Liberal government and this project was first proposed, I went to Cooma to meet with their CEO, and it took about 60 seconds and few calculations on the back of a drinks coaster work out the project didn’t stack up and that cost blowouts were inevitable. I tried to argue against it, but two Prime Ministers, the then Treasurer and the Energy Minister all knew better. I tried during the last election to demonstrate the environmental destruction to the Snowy Mountains, travelling there and filming the devastation - but the MS Media had zero interest. theaustralian.com.au/business/snowy… Australia’s prestige renewables project, Snowy 2.0, is emerging as one of the most expensive power projects in the world. Unless halted, it has the potential to lock Australia into high-cost electricity systems for decades ahead and destroy huge areas of prime agriculture. The current $40bn cost estimate is about 20 times the original projection. Both the Liberals and Nationals are so embarrassed by their early involvement that they turn a blind eye. One Nation may have an answer. The good name of the Snowy hydro scheme — a wonderful power generation project — has obscured the very different characteristics of Snowy 2.0. Theoretically, the $40bn for Snowy 2.0 could fund four nuclear plants that could supply a massive part of the power demands of Sydney or Melbourne, carbon-free. The Snowy 2.0 disaster will be blamed on Malcolm Turnbull, who started the project. But that’s not fair. Josh Frydenberg was energy minister in the Turnbull government. In the Morrison government, Angus Taylor was energy minister. But it was the current Energy Minister Chris Bowen, who gave it top priority. Outside politics, the media (including myself) did not do enough research to uncover this looming disaster. The power price consequences of Snowy 2.0 are so dire that the government may have no choice but to add the $40bn cost to the budget deficit and our debt, rather than fund it via electricity prices.

@kelliekelly23 @Sylvia49216237 ‘Renewable energy superpower’ Good grief.

Taxpayers have forked out more than $1m for Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen to travel the world in three-and-a-half years, visiting 25 countries on business-class flights that emitted an estimated 158,600kg of carbon.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 #auspol

@salltweets @joanneharris_ @AlboMP @DanicaDeGiorgio He won’t move until the ABC changes its gaslighting approach to the issue. And that won’t happen. He wouldn’t dare contradict the ABC.

** An open letter to @AlboMP ** Dear Prime Minister Albanese, Let’s get one thing clear: women are adult human females. You know it, I know it, you even said it in the lead up to the last election when asked “what is a woman” by Piers Morgan. But we have a big problem. I’m sure you have heard, last week, the Federal Court delivered its judgment in Giggle v Tickle, the “what is a woman” legal case that has been fighting in federal court for the past four years. To put it very simply, there are two sides to this case: women, adult human females, who want to ensure that woman is a single-sex category in law and women & girls have access to single sex spaces. The other side, which includes your human rights commission, insists that men who claim to be women are women in the eyes of the law. The full Federal Court sided with the man who claims to be a woman. Yes. A male won the “what is a woman” court case. Giggle v Tickle has turned Australia into an international laughing stock. This decision is seismic. It means women cannot run women-only businesses for women. It confirms that the ordinary meaning of sex has been twisted beyond recognition. It means men can be women in law. The Australian Human Rights Commission, captured by ideology, has weaponised the sex discrimination act against women, the very demographic it was enacted to protect. They’ve even argued in court that men who claim to be women need pregnancy protections. They’ve pushed the view that sex is a spectrum, changeable, and that anyone objecting is the bigot. Is this something you agree with? Do you, Mr Prime Minister, think men need pregnancy protections in the law? And there are real-world stakes here: Girls at school are holding their bladders all day, refusing to drink water, because boys who claim to be girls are in their bathrooms and they don’t want them there. Women prisoners are locked in cells with male sex offenders who simply “identify” as women. Female athletes are losing podiums, matches and safety. This isn’t inclusion - it’s the demise of women’s rights. Prime Minister, some of your ministers say, “we need to protect trans rights”. With all due respect, sir, your government can protect so called trans rights without stripping rights from women and girls. Every other citizen manages to exist without demanding access to the opposite sex’s protected spaces. Why not try to get “trans rights” without destroying the rights of women and girls? Have you ever even tried?  The fact that Labor hasn’t even mentioned Giggle v Tickle and women’s rights - while Liberals, Nationals, and One Nation politicians speak out - tells us everything. This week has been silence from the Labor Party. No trans visibility day parades on this one. No pride posts. Why? What don’t you want Australians to know? You boast about your 50 per cent women in cabinet. Good for you - you can accurately recognise what a woman is when it suits you. But the rest of us aren’t allowed to without fear of punishment. And can I ask, if you filled that cabinet with 50 per cent trans women, would you still call it equality between men and women? Think about that. While the UK, the United States and even New Zealand are waking up, rolling back the nonsense and restoring sanity and realizing that gender ideology is a failed experiment, your government is turning Australia into the laughing stock of the world. “Giggle v Tickle” isn’t just a punchline overseas - it’s proof Australia is upside down. I want to tell you something really important: If you will lie about something as obvious as men being women, we can assume you will look us in the eye and lie about everything.  Tell the truth. Fix the Sex Discrimination Act. Reinstate clear biological, accurate definitions of man and woman. Protect women, girls and single-sex spaces. Actually do something. Because, at the moment, Mister Prime Minister, I’m doing your job for you.

@LibbyConnors @RachaelWongAus @DoNoHarm79 @SkyNewsAust It doesn’t require a ‘feminist’. A child could do it.

@RachaelWongAus @critique378031 @SkyNewsAust ABC needs to be shut down. It is a danger to Australia.

“It is appalling, yet unfortunately not surprising, that the ideologically captured ABC would publish a piece celebrating a ruling that punished a woman for recognising a man as male and trying to maintain a female-only space.” 😡 I spoke to @SkyNewsAust about the ridiculous piece by a Monash Law Professor that tries to frame Giggle v Tickle as a “victory for women’s rights”. 🔗 Read the article: skynews.com.au/australia-news… ➡️ The ridiculous piece in question: abc.net.au/religion/giggl… 📣 Tell our MPs to fix the SDA: womensforumaustralia.org/FixTheSDA #FixTheSDA #IStandWithSallGrover #Auspol

@juliemonry It’s like watching a primary school assembly performance.

What a load of rubbish this Welcome to Country is and the so-called Aboriginal blokes! The kiddies taking part wouldn’t have a clue why they are there! Some so damn fat and white! How much are they getting for this ridiculous rubbish? Why do they continue with this nonsense?

@angijones She’s an ‘independent’. Sure. Same press release as Ryan.

@aaronsmith Why not 10?

To be clear: even in the magical fairyland where Chapel St is empty, the 40km/h to 30km/h difference between Alexandra Ave and High St is 57 secs. Not 20 mins. Not economic collapse. Not the fall of Rome. 57 secs. You’d lose more time watching Jess try to understand the point.

@craigkellyAFEE @critique378031 I used to think abolishing the ABC was a bit of an overreaction but last night I was forced to watch that spelling bee show in full. That taxpayers are forced to fund that sort of idiotic left wing swill is infuriating. The ABC must be shut down for the good of the country.

Their ABC. But you are forced to pay for it. Only the most perverse and twisted could argue that taking away women’s rights to have safe spaces free from mentally ill biological men could be "good" for women’s rights.

@craigkellyAFEE @critique378031 ‘Ethics’🤣

@RoadknightThe Nobody wants to admit that ‘stolen’ children have a better life.

"Specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, we risk repeating the harms we enacted as a country during the Stolen Generations." They mean: rescuing from abuse and neglect. That 'harm'.

@MuslimsMatters Parody account.

Hijab is a symbol of pride, not oppression.

@burkylie12 Quarterly?!!!

Labor party capitalists

@SimonSperling @GunTamQui Carlton is such a creep.

Fancy being a woman putting yourself through years of medical school, and then once you're a politician you reject everything that is true so you can score woke points against your own sex. I'm embarrassed to have you as my Federal representative

You utter clown.

@FurkanGozukara @LiveNZ How many different guilty parties are there?

Absolute bombshell. Candace Owens exposes the Charlie Kirk assassination coverup. He was tracking $10M missing from his company and launched a DOJ audit right before his death. The audit was immediately canceled after his murder. He texted friends he was going to be killed!

@ClarkeMicah She seems a bit touchy.

.@cathyoung63 . Far too few people know about the joint Nazi-Soviet victory parade at Brest-Litovsk in September 1939 (featuring Guderian on the Nazi side). But I do try to spread the word. Interestingly, Poland, once keen to publicise it, is now a bit less inclined to do so.
