When a woman resists, it’s the same old boys club that throws stones. Young women see you. And believe this - we will not smile for you. My opinion in The Age. @TamePunk ✊❤️ https://t.co/zMURZKsfMb

Grace Tame’s appearance with the Prime Minister ought to remind us that polite formalities are no longer the concern of women.

My thoughts on the spectacle of the self styled rude police having a performative tantrum in response to @TamePunk declining to waste her public platform #auspol

The cost to Australian taxpayers to hold a single refugee on Nauru has escalated tenfold to more than $350,000 every month – or $4.3m a year – as the government refuses to reveal where nearly $400m spent on offshore processing on the island has gone.

Reminder: Fixing a problem you created is not worthy of praise. It’s not going above any beyond. It’s literally doing the bare minimum required of you and your job description. This👇 is like a waiter who spills wine all over your table and then expects a tip for cleaning it up.

We, Afghan #refugees were called illegals & queue jumpers.🇦🇫 is devastated & now Australians realise there is no queue, no other/legal options—that’s why Afghans either risk their life on a boat, or attach themselves to a plane. Now, find your humanity, compassion & speak up!
