It's adorable we're talking about stage 3 restrictions as if we're somewhere fancy like New Zealand where they have an actual scale and not just a churchy weirdo who yells at us every few days about how it is our fault
If you are poor enough in this country it’s extremely likely you will be missing some or many teeth and/or be in serious dental pain for extended periods. Medicare has a lot of shortcomings but the fact it ends at your mouth is disgraceful.
So much time and feeling devoted to "kids are being radicalised by computer games" and so little to "(older) people with less tech and media savvy are swallowing bullshit conspiracy theories and transmitting them to their friends"
This whole idea there’s a correct way to challenge the system that isn’t as offensive as taking a knee, isn’t as rude as not smiling in a photo and isn’t as violent as a boycott of goods and services suggests maybe the goal is to make it impossible to challenge the system
Attack piece on me in the telegraph and news dot com this morning for using the term shark bite instead of attack or frenzy or their other preferred terms - a young man has died in awful circumstances and these ghouls want to make it about a culture war
I genuinely can't believe that Australia was on fire and now is under water and climate change is killing people and I'm at a conference where a bunch of (mainly) old white men are still arguing that trying to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030 is 'unrealistic'
The Liberals cancelled the trains today and now the Premier, Minister and PM are full steam scolding the workers. Solidarity with the workers

For me Brian Houston will always be the guy involved in offering a victim of his father's abuse $10,000 at a McDonalds with a scribbled napkin offer to try make him go away (and apparently saying he "tempted his father")
"Netball Australia chief executive Kelly Ryan has asked the Morrison government to mind its own business on transgender participation in sport"
Using netball energy for good, legend.

At my kids local public school me and parents look after the school garden because the school doesn’t have budget to pay for someone to do this. We also don’t have a librarian because all the school resources are in support staff helping kids who desperately need more.
If you have a system that relies on a certain % of the population being unemployed then you are morally obliged to support those people with payments above the poverty line & a system that doesn't brutalise them
Comrades! I have been elected to Randwick City Council as a Central Ward Councillor.
So much to learn but genuinely excited to work for this community in this place I love so very much and make it radically kind and fantastically green.
“Before Mark Latham was a gout-riddled stack of deli meats whinging about the threat of Islam and feminism, he was opposition leader of Australia” - possibly the best opening line of an article ever?
My council colleague wore a keffiyeh to the dawn service. She was accosted by a man immediately after who filmed her then the daily mail ran a hit piece and now the threats are rolling in. The outlets fuelling this are the ones creating dangerous division!
Last night Labor voted AGAINST a bill to keep 10 year olds out of prison and FOR laws that criminalise a wide range of protest - I'm one of those who sees possibility in a Greens/Labor alliance for good but sometimes it's very hard to be optimistic about this
Arresting a student activist in the middle of the night days after a protest is oppressive and unnecessary but that’s exactly what happened to UNSW education officer Cherish Kuehlmann last night!
The Albanese government’s push for universal childcare and pre-kindergarten is another way to raise a “whole generation of lefties”, says Sky News host James Morrow.
The guy who hacked Medicare meaning bulk billing is no longer available in a ton of areas and who did shit all about awful underfunding of mental health services? Yeah the Oz can get stuffed with this attempt to rehabilitate this goon
The former prime minister says that without medication he would have fallen into a serious depression in his time in the Lodge. Read the full exclusive story:
Not only did Anglicare try to block this child from a possibly family care option because of their prejudice they also got paid for it. The privatised out of home care system needs to go.
By age 30 (40) you should have a host of accumulated dental problems that years of low pay have meant you were unable to fix and a firm commitment to dental into medicare so no one else has to go through this
The Sam Kerr thing across socials platforms is quite a thing to see - Facebook still “debating”, twitter and insta mainly cheering it on with a few exceptions, TikTok have made her PM already
Imagine saying you'll literally take money from disabled people to fund war mongering and not being publicly shamed by every media outlet and other politician for being a monster
Let me get this right: 7 news covered the Randwick council plan to NOT remove a statue meanwhile not a single major outlet turned up to court for a case where a bomb was placed on someone’s car following political threats and the guy is pleading guilty!?
At a friend’s house for dinner the other night and she made pasta by putting it in boiling water then just setting a timer instead of randomly checking it every few minutes wtf
I feel like you’d get more people back in offices if we accepted the commute is a workplace expense not a private frolic - the bosses get their cars and parking funded but the rest of us pay $10 minimum on public transport for the pleasure
Strip searching 12 year olds is fucking disgusting and the fact it's increasing should concern us all. These are year 6 kids!
Here's a reason to raise the age and end the war on drugs if you needed one - to stop armed adult police officers strip searching children
I don't know but if you oppose the consent reforms because you want to have sex with your partner while they're asleep but are concerned they will later accuse you of sexual assault that sounds like a you problem, not a law problem
“Queensland police say no body-worn camera footage captured the moment an Aboriginal man was fatally shot, despite more than 15 officers being present”
If you see police you should film them to help out because their footage always conveniently disappears
Independent ACT senator David Pocock has had his request for an Auslan interpreter in the Senate to translate his first speech denied by the major parties, who are worried about the “precedent” it would set.
WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE PRECEDENT
Today is a defining moment for Australia with the formal signing of a $50b agreement to build 12 submarines in Australia for the Navy.
This agreement will create around 2,800 jobs for Australians, while helping to protect our country and keep Australians safe.

In a country where more than half of people were either born overseas or have a parent born overseas section 44 really works to remove a lot of the diversity of candidates who might consider a tilt at Federal Parliament
Hey

@SimonLongstaff
disclose to you he went on a funded junket to Israel before you published his oped about the Sydney Festival boycott? Feels relevant to the content and should be included in the notes below the piece
Really didn't need to have someone screenshotting my personal instagram story from my permitted exercise this morning to share on this website to police whether this was the right thing for me to be sharing right now. This cop mentality is absolutely cooked.
All these people concerned about a society in which there are two classes of people based on vaccination status are going to really hate actual class inequality
I used to be way more moderate on gun control until I started having to interact with the pro-gun people in Australia and hoo boy many of these aggro nitwits should not have access to pencils let alone firearms.
