Misogyny at the @abcnewsbot.bsky.social? The only reference to NRLW was in the context of the men's game. That is rubbish.

"in a bitter twist of irony, the architect of the pernicious #Robodebt scheme was himself the beneficiary of a massive, secret overpayment when sacked as managing director of Tourism Australia in 2006."

Oh FFS. This is the WHOLE point - superannuation is not meant to be used as a wealth building vehicle or to pass down millions to your kids. It is meant to be savings for your retirement. That it IS being used to dodge tax while building wealth/inheritance is why reform is needed

Was thinking about how in the 1950s Red Scare a common black mark was if you were "prematurely anti-fascist” - ie against Hitler in the 1930s.

Never forget that had you polled people in the 1930s most would have not given a damn. And as such advisors would have counseled the govt to do nothing.

No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.

When reporting Israel's attacks on Iran it's important journalists remember Israel is a genocidal state, whose armed forces in the past 2yrs have murdered tens of thousands of civilians, many of whom were children and babies.

So maybe not treat everything they say with total credulity
