Australia is suffering from a femicide crisis. Media outlets carry a responsibility to centre the victims, avoid blame shifting, and report the killings of women and children with care and restraint. When they fail to do that, they stop informing the public and start compounding the harm.

There's polling today that suggests on current numbers One Nation could win 30+ seats. Here's a quick thread of why I think this is *very* unlikely to actually pan out
Now, a federal election probably won't be until early 2028, and a lot could change, but here's why I'm not too worried now

If Josh Frydenberg wants to talk about bad appointments for Royal Commissioner, he should start with his party’s appointment of Dyson Heydon, who was later found to have sexually harassed multiple women.
