I sat and listened to some incredibly powerful speeches at the Invasion Day rally in Meanjin today. The justified anger and frustration at the ongoing slow genocide of First Nations peoples in this country was powerful and devastating to hear.

When someone says, "I've never seen him act like that," remind them:

Abusers typically behave differently around certain people to protect themselves. Their kindness to some isn't proof of innocence - it's all part of their strategy. Don't let this excuse distract from the harm done to others.

"But he's never done anything bad to me!"

You hear this a lot when a man is accused of terrible behaviour and his friends and allies jump in to defend him. It's infuriating and irrelevant and needs to be shut down every time it happens. You can do this by taking a leaf out of Ariana Grande's book.

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.
