@PennyWong should not have to say sorry to the Jewish people of Australia over the Bondi attack.
Her earlier comments were concerned with the state of Israel and their continued genocide of the people of Palestine.
Give us a break conservative wankers who offer nothing but opposition and blame

This guy is awarding himself a fake "peace" prize coerced through quid pro quo with a global sports body, and most of legacy media just shrugs in response and doesn't call into question his mental health. What are we doing here?

Such a privilege and joy to see my research on the weaponization of the PhD being used by the ABC to understand the treatment of women in our doctoral programmes. It was tough - dark - research. I am so thankful it has been useful... #skyphd - www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
The internet is resembling the first few pages of The Handmaid's Tale
The saddest aspect of all this that a generation of boys may feel compelled to suppress the ordinary the joy of celebrating another's success.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
