Strangely, people who have been in the press gallery for decades have not twigged to this and are treating it like a novelty, a triumph for hope over experience
Just a reminder that Pauline Hanson has fallen out with every ambitious man she has ever worked with other than Ashby, and Barnaby Joyce has fallen out with everyone he's ever met. This is going to be *exquisite*.

Australia’s major human rights inquiry urged clear legal protections and reform. Eighteen months later, the government has still not responded. That silence now demands an explanation, writes Kym Davey. #HumanRightsDay #auspol #HumanRights
Australia’s human rights report has been quietly buried
The world marks Human Rights Day this Wednesday 10 December. But a comprehensive parliamentary report calling for a national Human Rights Act remains unanswered. Its silence speaks volumes about the gap between rhetoric and action in Australia’s human rights commitments.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

I am a writer

Not like those other writers you admire
Do you need me to be?
Must we be the same
I can’t

I am a writer
My voice is mine
Even when it is quiet
Drowned out by the others
Uncertain and struggling
Even when I don’t use it
To say what you expect
Or what the world demands

I am a writer

101 trips in 2 years does sound kinda insane. I don't begrudge the business class- a 4 day round trip to Barcelona to work is grueling, get some sleep- but I do have questions about how on earth they got to 101 trips in 24 months. www.smh.com.au/culture/art-...
