Small conference grumble:

A panel where the only woman is the facilitator is still a manel.

And in some ways it actually looks worse.

I hope it’s been made perfectly fucking clear that laws designed to bolster police powers to prevent ‘violent’ or ‘objectionable’ protests will never be meaningfully turned on Nazis.

You can’t police your way out of fascism but you can certainly police your way into it.

Bookish in Bendigo have pulled out as Bendigo Writers Festival's bookseller - this principled move comes at great cost to them as an independent store. If you've been thinking of purchasing a book (esp. one by someone who's also pulled labour from BWF), consider going to them! +61 3 5406 0596

Feel like slapping all the headlines that say conservatives need to deal with their "women problem" as if the women problem isn't baked into the foundation of conservatism. Frankly I would prefer they didn't try to make their misogyny more palatable, thanks.

“Personal responsibility” is just the invoice neoliberalism sends to people it’s already discarded.

Apart from *everything else* there is a strong whiff of insider trading on all of these tariff announcements.

Dutton wants to cut 36,000 jobs from the public service.

A Coalition govt wld then contract that work out to multinational corporations- NOT small contractors.

They’ve done it b4. Morrison govt spent $20.8b in ONE year on contractors. This was 37% of the public service budget.

DON’T trust Dutton

Have just managed to make comically bad fruit mince tarts. The toil to get the pastry to work in this ridiculous humidity is a contributing factor in the head shaking. I should have stuck with my usual pastry recipe 🤦🏻‍♀️

The new ABC CEO is the same Hugh Marks who hosted a $10,000 a head Liberal Party fundraiser at Nine's headquarters.

Wow.

We'll now have a middle-aged white male who supports conservative causes in charge of the ABC.

What a refreshing change.

I mean . . . I can hardly wait.
