As is often the case, the truth takes a while to catch up
The appeal judges found that Lisa Wilkinson acted properly in terms of the extensive inquiries she made and the information she relied on
Lisa always acted appropriately
The judges disagreed with Justice Lee who had asserted the opposite

The reason I don’t post pictures of suffering in Gaza even though I’m asked to at times is because I lived through a decade of folk posting basically snuff films of Black people back when we thought we could convince society our lives matter. It convinced no one. But it did fuck up my mental health.

There was a feeling that had been gnawing away at him for several weeks, becoming harder and harder to ignore. Eventually, while riding the elevator to work one morning, his subconscious took over.
“I don’t tend to make snap decisions, but I remember going up in the lift one morning and realising I just couldn’t do it any more,” he tells Guardian Australia. Continue reading...
