It would be a massive mistake for progressive folk to convince themselves the March for Australia was a bust, or can safely be ridiculed.
It was an alarming escalation of far-right action, and we need to reckon with it.

An aside: journalism exists in an attention economy where demand drives editorial decision making. If you find something you enjoyed, learned from and that moved you, share and share widely -- even four days late. I, and others, don't get to keep doing this stuff if no one reads it.
This piece is so good that I feel weird and kind of gross for both discovering it four days after the fact and sharing it after midnight.
But anyway this is an exceptionally affecting piece of writing and @roycerk2.bsky.social is a very good journalist.
But you all already knew that. Didn't you?

This is INSANE. Somehow we have decided as a nation that it's fine to give taxpayer funds to the very richest schools while sabotaging public education. How is this okay? How is this sustainable in any way? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

#Autism should not be stigmatised. #ADHD should not be stigmatised. These are amazing children and young people. But they need support. The most important thing for your child is to get them the help and support they need and deserve. IMHO. PS: As I have said before, my teenage son is thriving. ❤️

Gutless is absolutely the right word. Just so self interested in ensuring he gets re-elected. What’s the fucking point if you don’t do anything
A gutless PM who has no understanding of power.
Doesn't know how to lead... not sure he wants to. Was much more happy as Leader of the House where he could just play student politics with Chris Pyne and it was all meaningless.
