#MelissaMcIntosh has grandiose hopes of being the next opposition leader.
“ I want to bring hope to the people.” Fortunately she has no hope. Having another female leader of the liberal party is all but dead and buried for decades to come.

Trauma experts coming from Israel to help the Australian victims of Bondi attack. Do we not have trauma experts here?
Can they go to Gaza as well? 🤔

Sussan Ley says the Coalition has its own alternative hate speech / gun reform legislation.

If it exists, why hasn’t it been released?
If it doesn’t exist, why demand parliament be recalled early? 🙄

Some media have reported that Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah has dropped her defamation claim against SA premier Peter Malinauskas. That is incorrect. She has resolved her separate defamation claim against Adelaide Festival Corporation.

Albanese “I am surprised that anyone could walk into parliament & vote against…”
— a national gun buyback
— closing loophole allowing non-citizens to get gun licence
— strengthening customs to stop dangerous imports.

Yes it will say a LOT about anyone who can’t support this.

Trumplethinskin can dish it out, but just can't take it.

Because someone called him a "Pedophile Protector", the short-fingered vulgarian flipped the tiniest bird imaginable. 😂

You're willing to drag the world into deadly turmoil when your only reason for being in power it to avoid jail.

Well fuck

As if Israel could not make themselves more loathesome than they already had

The world is literally choosing sides right now. A fight is coming

Know which side you're on. Think about it. Because if you think you're not on a side, they'll shoot you first

Downer showed their hand.

Don’t dismiss the possibility that they knew that writers would cancel (and counted on it) because their real goal was to destroy forums for critical, intelligent and educated discussion.

🚨“Irresponsible media” and political rhetoric are "actively fuelling" violence against Muslims, says top Islamic body, after alleged attack on Imam and his wife.

Falsely tying peaceful pro-Palestine marches to Bondi attack is "contributing directly"...

Just saw this. What utter bullshit. The Israel lobby are devoted to destroying the livelihoods of anyone who does not share their love of genocide.

Although there is no place in this country for hate speech, there must be room for people to express their views on politics and world events.

All love and support to you Cathy.
When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.
