You know what, the world would be a better place if we all stopped eating meat. That's something each of us can do right now. Today. If you feel like you can't do anything meaningful in this crazy world, you absolutely can.

If a Liberal State Government was wrecking the Victorian #StateLibrary & trashing the services it exists to provide, ALP members might be protesting. As it is, pretty much crickets. If you don't save the State Library you're going to lose more seats to indies, Teals & Greens. Interested now? #vicpol

Dear Megyn Kelly-
The lowest age of consent in the US is 16, which literally doesn’t matter. Because there is no age of consent to sexual assault or being sex trafficked. But you knew that.

The only free to air tv I watch these days is SBS world news, because the rest is rubbish. I used to love The Drum (rip😭), but now don't watch any ABC. Anyone else in the same boat?
