As parliament debates national hate laws, we ask why have so many Australians vulnerable to hate been excluded?
If you agree every Australian deserves equal protection - no matter our ability, sexuality, gender or religion - call your local MP, and like and share this post.

Important to remember:
The reason why RFK Jr will not feel even slightly bad about these 10,000 low-income people losing access to life-saving antiviral medicines is that he is an AIDS denialist
He does not think HIV is the cause of AIDS
His conspiracy theories are killing people

Catastrophe: Florida's Department of Health is stopping coverage for antivirals to 10,000 low-income people with HIV infection, blaming impending federal cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. 12.5% of Americans with HIV live in Florida.
Thousands to lose access to HIV drugs with new cuts
An estimated 10,000 people are about to lose access to their HIV medication as the Florida Department of Health makes cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP).

NSW could adopt UK-style laws to ban ‘intifada’ protest slogans. How would it work?
Inquiry into banning pro-Palestine phrase warned against importing ‘repressive models’ from overseas, while legal experts say UK model could be incompatible with Australia’s constitution

Remember:
26Jan has been recognised as a Day of Mourning since 1938, in recognition of the invasion, dispossession & numerous massacres by British invaders against Indigenous Australians since 1788.
It has only been a public holiday as Australia Day since 1994.

I watched SA Premier Peter Malinauskas deliberately refer to Randa Abdel-Fattah as "Miss".
DOCTOR Abdel-Fattah has a BA, LLB, & a PhD.
So, not only does the Malinauskas present as a defamatory racist, he's a misogynist as well.
