I just watched Australian Story about Grace Tame and her tenure as AOTY, Iโm so emotional , this young woman has been such an incredible and worthy recipient of the title, it has taken its toll on her,we,the Australian population have been blessed to have Graceโs voice this year
This has become a farce now. Trump is a madman and journos are treating this like his words have merit. The media are complicit in the downfall of democracy.
After watching bits and pieces of the livestream of the
#BruceLehrmann
trial, here are my thoughts:
1) The judicial system is unfit to try sexual assault cases.
2) There is some serious deep-seated sexism and misogyny being displayed by members of the judiciary. 1/2
I woke up this morning so angry at how our supposed justice system has failed Brittany Higgins and the obvious political hit-job on her has been realised. What are we to do? Im seriously asking you all this question .
@AlboMP
this cannot be allowed to stand!
The Paladin scandal, on Channel 9, no less. Has the
@ABCaustralia
covered this? Dutton still in parliament, how? The wastage of taxpayers money, with this scandal and so many more is eye-watering. Plutocracy, cronyism, kleptocracy, you name it, weโve got it all! ๐
The super yachts, mansions, and displays of extreme wealth stemmed from a lucrative contract from the Department of Home Affairs.

The pathetic platitudes from Reynolds were not fit to be reported in this article. If she was concerned about Ms Higgins health she wouldnโt continue to punish her, as she is doing, hateful, spiteful woman!
My daughter Cass is in a dire health situation atm in Tรผrkiye, Iโm just sharing this as a cautionary tale for young women planning on travelling there, donโt travel alone and be vigilant when it comes to accepting any drink, even water from strangers, particularly taxi drivers!
Who else is feeling a deep sense of doom, seeing the confluence of climate catastrophes, the rise of fascism, the turmoil in the Middle East and outright rejection of genocide in Gaza, by supposed Western democratic countries. Itโs certainly very dark times. ๐
Iโm deactivating my account, the toxicity on here has now become untenable, so many lies being spread, itโs become like high school all over again, Iโm not interested in that type of behaviour , goodbye to the good ppl I have met through here x
Reflecting on the
#RobodebtRC
and the absolute capitulation of many in the public service who oversaw this disgraceful scheme. I saw first hand, through my daughter receiving a Robodebt notice, how Centrelink staff (at the customer service end) were highly traumatised 1/2

@abcnews
, I just heard a whole news story on Tay Tay and swiftonomics. Add that to the headline news story with platforming only Dutton again in relation to gambling ads. Hey

Labor is in government, I donโt give a flying fig what the LNP think!
I just had an interesting episode at the hairdressing salon. Sat down and said to my hairdresser that Iโve just had my 6th C-19 vaccine. A woman next to me shuffled away from me because apparently she doesnโt โbelieveโ in the vaccine and Iโm shedding virus. ๐คช
So Michele Bullock is lambasting us plebs that we are creating ongoing inflation by wanting haircuts and dental services. I donโt know how I feel about that. ๐ค๐คช๐คจ
The โChildren Overboardโ saga dominated discussion at my family dinner table when I was a kid, as Iโm sure it must have for many others around the country.
Here the late Peter Reith is questioned by
@LaTrioli
, then host of 774 ABC Melbourneโs Drive program about the โevidenceโ.
Ok thoughts, thereโs a certain cafe I frequent in kiama where I consistently get a vibe that Iโm unwanted business. The cafe owner is a LNP owner and knows Iโm a Greens voter/supporter. I am always friendly and thought that would bridge any political divide but to no avail.
This is my daughters class action payment from the Robodebt illegal scandal , that really makes up for the almost suicide and intense anxiety she suffered ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ๐ก
Joe Hockeyโs speech to The Sydney Institute was downright disgusting. Claiming that itโs not the role of government to use the taxation and welfare system to โlevel the playing fieldโ. Could he have been more heinous! A vile man that sucked Australia dry like he sucked his cigar!
Watching
#Insiders
, Speers really just asks the most basic and banal questions. Contrast that against the insightful questions that Barrie Cassidy would ask. How far this show has fallen.
Currently having a coffee before shopping and a man on a table next to me is mansplaining Darwinism , and completely getting it wrong , should I correct him! ๐
7) BL has been shown to be a completely disingenuous and dishonest complainant.
However, BH has been shown to be completely believable, a warrior, standing up to a judicial system that is geared against obtaining a conviction, standing up to all the powers of government.
My fabulous daughter Cassie finished her Bachelor of Psychology thesis today, sheโs had so many obstacles in her way, mental health challenges galore but she was steadfast and pushed through, Iโm so proud of her ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐
Does anyone know if an Australian citizen living in the UK can vote in the referendum? My daughter wants to vote Yes, but Iโm not sure how she can, sheโs living in London atm.
By the nature of their job, dealing with clients that were panicked, aggressive and terrified. The architects of this illegal scheme must be held accountable for the trauma and suffering theyโve caused to so many ppl.
5) The compensation payout to BH is somehow more scandalous than the multiple payouts to BL that were suppressed and lied about, in Channel 7โs case.
6) Womenโs intuition in regards to creepy men is dismissed as tenuous and insubstantial.
3/4
Scuntmo ended off his โspeechโ saying โ itโs all about living with the virusโ thatโs what the LNP have been about this whole time , LET IT RIP ๐ก
3) There is a general distrust of women and womens testimonies.
4) The attitude that women bring on rape due to their drinking habits, clothing choices, responding to some aspects of affection is palpable.

The winner of the This Is Not Journalism Award 2022 is:
Leigh Sales
for asking Tanya Plibersek, "What has Labor done wrong?"

Media bias on full display
A deserving winner chosen by almost 800 voters.
In Woolworths yesterday and noticed they have put security devices on meat packets. What a sad indictment on our present economic circumstances in this country. The fact that the present inflationary event is largely a result of corporate profits makes it even more damning!
So I had some verbal jousting at my trivia game tonight, a team mate questioned my answer that the colour purple is made up of the colours blue and red ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ he said are you sure thatโs not brown ๐คฃ Iโm a bloody science teacher ffs ๐
Having a break from Twitter for a while , happy to see a fabulous Labor government but not enjoying some of the negative stuff Iโve received on here of late , take care all ๐
Reflecting on yesterdays censure motion,I feel quite strongly that the incredibly poor display of the LNP literally walking out during Dreyfusโ speech and shaking the
#liarfromtheshire
hand was orchestrated as a F*** you to the government and by extension to us the Australian ppl
So this was the very first twitter profile pic I used, I never enjoyed pics of myself and never took selfies but Iโm glad Iโve found an accepting Twitter family , just wanted to say thanks to everyone I interact with and who interact with me , you keep the blues away ๐๐
Turned on
@abcnews
on my way to work this morning , top story was the incompetent and corrupt Sussssan Ley banging on about Labor rushing the renewables transition, in what world should this ignoramus be topping the ABC news bulletin, Iโm dumber for having listened to her ๐
Hi twitter friends , Iโm going to be deactivating my account , I may come back at some point, stay well and keep fighting the good fight ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ช
โI have seen some rubbish in my time but the Herald Sunโs campaign coverage last week really does take the cake.
Itโs no wonder that a recent Roy Morgan survey found News Corp to be Australiaโs most distrusted media brand.โ
Ok round 2 ๐คฃ Iโm so proud of my daughters First Class Honours achievement, sheโs battled poor mental health, an ADHD diagnosis and a very unhelpful Honours supervisor, so itโs well deserved ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ

I had a crushing incident the other night when putting my library books into my local libraryโs out of hours chute, 2 homeless men were sleeping in the alcove of the library entrance, when I arrived they were highly anxious, this is just not ok , ppl should not be sleeping rough!
Just stopped at a McDonaldโs to use their loo, saw a woman with a top that said โI am a paddock drinkerโ ๐ตโ๐ซ I must be naive Iโve no idea what that means ๐
Wow I just caught up with todays Insiders, Iโm actually teary, the intelligence and convictions of the female journalists on the panel as well as Kate Chaney MP have revived my interest in the show, letโs hope this is a precedent that is ongoing!
An old pic but it has the right sentiment , Merry Christmas and cheers to my lovely tweeps, thank you for your interaction with me this year and your intelligent/funny/insightful tweets ๐๐
@CJHarvey56
I think we should stop using the nickname he gave himself, to me he will just be known as Morrison, even using his first seems too respectful, he deserves nothing but scorn.
My wonderfully wise, intelligent and compassionate daughter Cass leaves for her new life in the UK today. Iโm so happy for her, I hope it fulfils all her expectations. I will miss her but want her to really live life to the fullest. โ๏ธ ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

@strangerous10
And they expected welfare recipients to remember wage details from many years prior and front up with evidence from past employers who had no obligation to assist, absolutely disgusting!
This is a sad indictment on the Kiama electorate, a suspended MP that canโt enter NSW parliament, up for sexual assault charges, has the highest primary vote! ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
