I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

The funny thing about these hate speech laws - not funny-ha-ha, but Kafkaesque funny - is that Australia, which incarcerates Indigenous Aussies at 12-15 times the rate of non-Indigenous Aussies, is creating a legal shield for the claim of Jewish indigeneity to the Zionist State of Israel.

The 'evangelical leaders' are probably in the Epstein files, don't expect they will be speaking up.
This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

The Australian flag unfortunately now carries a "HFR" (high f*ckwit ratio). Not everyone brandishing the flag is a FW, but they're significantly overrepresented. Nationalism masquerading as patriotism has co-opted the flag and undermined it as a symbol of unity and pride, sadly.
