Sloppy, careless policing is the least that can be said. Is this how the (mostly) male officers treat all cases? Or only those involving DV against a woman?

As @michaelmazengarb.bsky.social pointed out, when Abbott cut jobs at CSIRO it inspired protests on the street.
Now that @albomp.bsky.social is cutting it even more dramatically, why isn't the response just as impassioned?

The CSIRO cuts are just the tip of the iceberg for Australia's science funding
Australia is known as a country of innovators, but with a combination of brain drain, continuous cuts, and a loss of critical science projects, is Australia losing its edge?

As a handful of us have been screaming for a long time now: there is no "ceasefire". The UN security council has approved the further colonisation of Gaza, and Israel is being rewarded for its genocide. It's still the 1700s in the West, we just have phones and cheap dopamine addictions now.
A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

Calling Labor's current approach "incrementalism" or "small target" or whatever makes it sound like they are are an overly cautious progressive govt. Matters like this show that they are actively pursuing policies that make them indistinguishable from the centre right: not incrementalists at all.
Disgraceful & tragic what governments have done to this once science powerhouse! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

All of this means much more pressure on hospitals, but it’s also got a real human cost: days gone without showers or help with meals, families moving across the country to step in, more neglect and pain for older people who deserve better.
