Louise Milligan on the monster priest no-one will grieve
Paedophile Gerald Ridsdale, who died last week, was convicted of abusing 70 children. But those who enabled his sick crimes are just as culpable, Louise Milligan tells Fitz.

Have reached the point in life where I’m coming to terms with losing a few friendships because they simply couldn’t give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves..and this is no longer the kind of world where tolerating people like that is remotely acceptable.

This is nuts, obviously, and reflects a weird obsession (along with sharks, water efficient showers, LED light globes, raking leaves, and other sundry issues). As @gtconway.bsky.social has pointed out, Trump is not all there.

Nope, foreign gas companies just prefer to sell Australia's gas overseas for more profit.
