The homemade explosive thrown into a crowd on #InvasionDay has been described by police as “designed to explode” with “mass casualty” potential.
If that’s not terrorism, we need to re-write the dictionary.

I look at global and national politics - the aggression of America, the naivety of Australia in its shadow - and I’m (sadly) reminded (albeit out of their original context) of the words of the late Dr Martin Luther King Jr:

South Australia yesterday. Wholesale electricity prices soared to $20K per mwh when gas turbines kicked in 7.30 to 10pm.
SA last 30 days - Gas averages $2000
Solar $47

Observation - The companies which do most to cause our heatwaves... make the most profit from heatwaves? Got it.

Heatwaves kill more Australians than floods, fires and cyclones combined.
If we named them, we could treat them as the public health emergencies they are.
Should we name them after the fossil fuel companies that contribute to them?

Hanson’s movie seems to be constructed around a premise that minorities in our society are actually able to wield ‘victimhood’ power. I challenge that premise as a member of a targetted group. Go ahead and find the statistics that show we are living with better outcomes. 3/6

‘Free speech’ was never conceived of to be for the purpose of vilifying other citizens, it is for criticising the government without fear of retribution. The whole point being that there is a recognition of the power imbalance inherent in that. 2/6

They misrepresent the situation as ‘equal’, but it isn’t. I am one of the targets, and do not have her platform or resources to answer the vilification in kind. Thus it is an exercise in bullying and an incitement to harass and discriminate by misrepresenting minorities.

She has complained in a press release about people not being able to handle ‘free speech’. Most people using this to justify ‘punching down’ or the vilification of minorities either are unaware of, or are deliberately using, the severe asymmetry of the power balance. 5/6
