It could take 118 years to end racism at work, Gari Yala report finds A landmark Indigenous-led report reveals that racism remains a daily reality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers and, at the current rate of change, "it will take 118 years to eliminate ...

Awful stats. Where is their special envoy & funding?

Israeli nukes: the elephant in the room since at least 1981.

Of course we don’t & shame on us because Indigenous folk face discrimination/racism all the time.

Our legal system is so fuc^ed that the peeps giving the right wing nut job a well deserved flogging would most likely be jailed.

Absolutely shameful of the police not to charge him. This behaviour is NOT OKAY!

😂

I’m happy the soccer girls were granted visas but IF Trump demanded it, then it kinda loses its gloss a bit. TB & Albo also milked it for positive publicity, which was nauseating. Bet their focus groups told them to do it, after the very ugly “ISIS” brides/kids debacle. Ugh!

So looking at the facts on the ground, we’re supporting a genocidal military campaign against the Iranian people while cutting off an escape route for those with ties to Australia. We’ve become psychopaths.

With the majority of voters in democratic countries bitterly opposed to the illegal, illegitimate and insane US-Israeli war on Iran, the big question is why do are all the Big Tent established political parties all on a unity ticket in supporting it?

Liberal migration claims rely on outdated data The Liberal Party's new deputy leader says more than half a million migrants have come to the country annually under Labor, but current levels are nearly half that amount.

“Albanese has developed an art form of avoidance of key issues for fear of being wedged. His government keeps running away from hard decisions. Pragmatism and compromise rule.” 👏👏👏👏

Albanese’s politics of avoidance From AUKUS to Gaza and now Iran, the government’s instinct has been to avoid political traps rather than confront hard choices – and voters are drifting away.

"The US keeps murdering people and then brags about it.

...Washington is being run by dangerous criminals. Yet our government lines us up in support of these crazies for fear of being wedged by the ailing Murdoch media..." @johnmenadue.com #auspol

It’s even worse given how much she earns -$340,900 pa. She should pay for her own bloody solar. The subsidy should be means tested.

Six frames. Woman talking to girl. 1. “Sunday was International Women’s Day - the one day of the year when women get to…” (girl looks excited) 2. “…be controlling and violent toward their partners,…” (girl looks less thrilled) 3. “…tell men what to wear and what they can do with their bodies,…” (girl looks a bit stunned) 4. “…make men feel unsafe and blame them if they get attacked,…” (girl looks uncomfortable) 5. “…and curtail men’s liberty and make laws that serve our own interests.” (Girl looks depressed) 6. “Because men deserve a day off.” (Girl looks seriously unconvinced.)

My @smh @theage cartoon.

* They will be

Yeah nah. They be trying to get the max political mileage out of the visas they issued to the 5 Iranian soccer players. Look at us, aren’t we wonderful.

More examples of Trump’s stupidity. Ugh!

His father, mother, wife, and son were all killed in the first attack.

Beware a man with nothing to lose.

Grumpy & somewhat terrified. I never thought I’d live to see WW3 but I’m not that sure anymore.

Oh yes def more sweary. The only good thing about ageing is that I no longer give any fucks! It’s so liberating 😆. And the fact that my new attitude horrifies the “younger ones” is doubly liberating.

More than 180 authors quit writers' week. Many returned for a DIY replacement Constellations emerged from the ashes of Adelaide Writers' Week, which was cancelled after authors withdrew over censorship. Organisers share how it came together and lessons for the future.

We stood together against anti-Palestinian racism and they cancelled our festival. So we organised our own.

Very tired now, but very proud of Constellations!

Great in depth coverage from Hannah Story here

Hey I’m sure there are plenty of good US movies. Grumpy AND snobby are afflictions that happen once you hit your more senior years. Woosh, overnight, it just happens!

Plaudits to you Epstein Allies on regime change in Iran. They have replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with ... Ayatollah Khamenei!

Nope I have always hated American tv/movies so I rarely watch them. They are so fake (says the grumpy, snobby, ex-English teacher).

You two are so funny!

What a truly disgusting man!

Oooh bravo! Thanks Mr Dog.

According to the 2021 Census, there were ~6,217 Jewish tertiary students in Australia. AU has ~42 universities (I’ll ignore TAFEs & other tertiary institutions). It’s unrealistic to expect every uni to meet all those “KPIs” for such a small student population. It would be a huge cost imposition.

Leaders across the world are now calling out Trump and Netanyahu

Belgium MP 🇧🇪: "Not a single soldier or weapon should go for Trump’s war in Iran. We must say No to Trump like Spain did” 🔥

First spain, then UK and now Belgium 🫡❤️
