You are one of Australia's greatest living treasures Cathy. Never doubt this. Anonymous trolls (as i imagine many are) are a fetid cancer. Stay strong & know you are hugely loved by good people

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Can someone pls explain "socialite" to me? Is there a register of people who are deemed "social" and "lite"? How does one get on it?
