As a survivor, I feel deeply betrayed by those who make men the focus just now -
Can we not, even in the midst of femicide, focus entirely, unwaveringly on women & children?
And if not - Why not?
The courage of
Brittany Higgins takes my breath away.
She’s taken on that entire rotten, stinking LNP government.
I fear for her, & the price she’s paying.
Morrison took a government jet to open a Pentecostal conference on Tuesday. Didn’t Bishop lose her job for taking a govt helicopter to a Liberal function?
It takes a very very special kind of man to threaten to fine ppl for not reporting the results of a test nobody can get in the first place
@Dom_Perrottet
Alan Tudge keeps his job. Rachelle Miller turns up for new job today & is told her contract is under review due to media appearance.
I am incandescent with rage & I hope you are as well.
How in the name of Christ did Scott manage to fuck up the bushfire response, & 2yrs later fuck up the flood response while in between, fucking up the COVID response?
How???
Van Obsolete: "If she couldn't smile, she shouldn't go."
Yes, he said that.
Telling all women that if we don't play the powerful men's games, we will have no seat at the table.
Well, that's not news to me. Is it to you?
I’m leaving Twitter for a while. I just saw an account set up specifically to target me, followed by ppl here who follow me & who I took to be friends.
Thanks to everyone who has been a friend to me. Take care. Stay safe.
Shouldn’t Bridget McKenzie declare she is the partner of Simon Benson who revealed Scott’s co-option of ministries? In the interests of transparency?
@RNBreakfast
Just let it sink in that a federal govt minister today personally attacked a journalist for asking a legitimate question to which many of us want an answer.
As Scott secretly took on more & more ministries, he kept News Corp fully informed.
Not the intelligence agencies, not the ministers, not the cabinet, not the people…
But News Corp.
Hello,
@GregHuntMP
if you didn't know it was going to get this bad how did you know you should organise RATs & vaccinations & boosters for politicians & your families & staff?
If media are holding Albanese to account for a post written by somebody else 11 yrs ago, why aren’t the holding Morrison to account for Porter, Laming, Robert, Reynolds & the rest?
I have “underlying conditions” & I’m managing them extremely well & if I get COVID & die, I died from COVID, not conditions I can manage & live with.
For the fucking record.
Can you imagine how Archer, a survivor of csa, felt being ambushed by Frydenberg who pretended to help her then instead took her to Morrison’s office where he & Payne were waiting for her? Can you imagine how that felt?
I was raped by my stepfather, but I couldn't go to the police.
I guess this makes my stepfather an "innocent man under our law," according to Scott Morrison.
I am not grateful to Katie Allen or any other Liberal MP suddenly demonstrating a change of heart on the Biloela family. They are doing this because it has become electorally untenable to torture this family any longer. Not because they give a damn.
So I’m assuming that should I want to, I can drive a mock gallows through Canberra with an effigy of Morrison hanging from it & that will be perfectly ok & I won’t be arrested?
How the hell do an alleged rape victim’s phone records & diary, given only to the AFP, end up in the Australian?
What the fuck is wrong with this country?
Fully Pfizered PM goes on family history jaunt in UK while millions of Australians remain unvaccinated due to lack of supply & tens of thousands can’t come home cos inadequate quarantine.
What an utter prick he is.
The obscenity of a PM posting pics of a fish he’s had flown in for his dinner while the country faces huge infection rates & deteriorating capacity to treat the sick.
Circulating naked images of a female MP for revenge isn’t a “mistake”
@Dom_Perrottet
It’s calculated misogynistic abuse, perpetrated for self-gain.
No man who does this should be anywhere near parliament.
This should be obvious to you, Premier.
Interesting insight into LNP thinking about “let it rip.” Apparently never occurred to them that the workforce would get sick & ruin their plan. So who did they expect would fall ill?
Just think, Jenny could have been talking about women’s business for the last three years, yet here we are, on the eve of an election, & she’s finally found her voice!
It’s a miracle I tell you!
A miracle!!
So Linda Reynolds lied in The Australian interview about a conversation with deceased Labor senator, Kimberley Kitching.
I guess she didn't know that Kimberley had written a letter before she died refuting Reynold's claims.
Reynolds is absolute scum.
Lynelle Stewart, wife of QAnon supporter Tim Stewart (banned by Twitter for his activities on behalf of the terrorist group) somehow got security clearance to work for the PM at Kirribilli House.
Astounding stuff
This afternoon we’ve seen a group of very privileged men use their platforms to denigrate a dead woman. None of them are qualified to comment on her mental state & yet they have “diagnosed” her. This is misogyny.
Porter claims “members of the public” donated to the blind trust. How did they know about it? Porter says he didn’t know till last week so how did the public know?
Morrison: “I didn’t know. I didn’t have it. I wasn’t there. I didn’t hear that. Nobody told me. I’m not aware of that. I didn’t read it. I haven’t seen it. I have no knowledge of that. Nobody gave it to me. I don’t understand what I haven’t experienced.”
Morrison says he has "found" 280,000 Pfizer doses.
But he couldn't "find" anything when Queensland asked two weeks ago?
Only the most vile person would play games with vaccines in this way.
It's bloody alarming when your government decides the issue is a president getting chucked off Twitter and not a president attempting to interfere with the results of an election to retain power.
I’m sorry, you mean it’s possible to shut down the entire Sydney train network without the knowledge of either the transport minister or the Premier?
Seriously?
Andrews isn’t perfect. He is, however, a million times better at leading during this disaster than is the PM. Yet he’s scrutinised a million times more than is the PM. Journalists are failing badly with this. Very badly.
How do you damage the reputation of a minister whose first reaction after being notified of a possible rape is to steam clean away the possible evidence?
It isn’t that Morrison feels shame, I don’t think he does, it’s that he realises when criticism reaches a certain level, it affects his re election chances.
So, every time we read an article that doesn't ask the questions, lets politicians off the hook, or fails us the readers in some way, we retweet the piece with the hashtag
#ThisisNotJournalism

Are you in?
If
#Insiders
can't find anyone better to feature than Barnaby Joyce, who has nothing of interest to say to anyone about anything & is barely coherent anyway, perhaps the show should just be retired.
@InsidersABC
Morrison’s staff decided not to tell him about an alleged rape in a minister’s office by a senior staffer.
I’m sticking my neck out here & calling bullshit.
He knew.
