I'm old enough to remember when pretty much all of the mainstream media regularly praised Abbott for being the politician with the deepest connection to Indig Australians because he visited a community every year, patted some kids on the head and hammered a few nails.
poor old Tony Abbott is on the public broadcaster dismissing the oldest and longest continuous oral histories in the history of humanity as “hearsay” how’s your morning going.

"Women, meanwhile, become the vessel for national disgust. The perfect container for a public morality play because they’re visible and culturally legible. You can point at them and say: see, this is what happens when women step outside acceptable scripts.” #auspol

On behalf of all women, we plead that the Australian government take urgent action to prevent male violence against us. Current approaches are not working! Take. This. Seriously. It's well over time that women stopped living in fear.

“Men get a larger overall share of the benefits of Australia’s current tax expenditures and deductions . . . and in news that will not shock many, men receive a greater share of the benefits of our tax settings than women.” - Gemma Killen

Hundreds of calls going unanswered, 20% of victim-survivors are without crisis accommodation. Women & children are disproportionately affected by homelessness due to violence & abuse by men. @albomp.bsky.social thinks we’re not worthy of an RC. But a minority is & receives $604m in funding.

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work.
The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.

Marty Sheargold said that the Matildas players reminded him of "year 10 girls".
Good riddance. As bad on the Matildas as Hinch was on the AFLW.
Enough is enough of these men who are so unkind about women and sport .

"But here’s the part that should make Australia choke on its own righteousness: if the core claim in these cases is “she was groomed” [Kirsty Rosse-Emile], then the question becomes: do we believe grooming is real, or only when it flatters our existing prejudices?” #auspol

Why are we so polite about the way men treat women once they have some power over them?
It’s criminal behaviour, we’re not polite about men who beat up or murder other men.
