love to see two middle aged men mansplaining to a young woman of colour that there's no such thing as the gender pay gap 🙃 #BBAU

Don’t know if he was ever asked, but apparently he didn’t express regrets.
You might be interested in this article, based on papers found after he’d died. Shows his frame of mind.

If memory serves, he left Australia within a couple of years after the Dismissal, and didn't return for some time

I heard one commentator today suggest he died "a very unhappy man" and felt his pariah status deeply

I couldn't really say whether that adds up to regret 🤷

I listened most of today to The Dismissal- panels all day talking about it. It was great. If you want to know more it might be worth at least picking out a few of the sessions. www.youtube.com/live/5wnIN_b...

This is very disturbing. The sentence is similar to Brock Turner’s.
Absolutely sickening!!

When you ask for help the 1st time & don’t receive it this could happen to you too. When will domestic violence be taken seriously @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org? America needs a nationwide Serious Crime Act. All victims of abuse deserve help. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/a...

High profile #sexualharassment case under further investigation
Absolutely horror IPCA report on how the Police handled complaints against McSkimming.

A woman, who said she had a sexual relationship with him when she was 21 and he was 40, made complaints about him and instead of taking it seriously they prosecuted her under the HDCA.

I love how the Nz police are trying to to pretend the problem is a couple of people. Like those men who were found innocent of assaulting louise nicholas but did jail time for assaulting other women. And the cops who covered it up. It’s a lot of individuals

Average healthcare costs in the US:

Giving birth? $18,000

Cancer treatment? $150,000

One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k.

That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through.

Cost in Canada? $0.

Cost in the UK? $0.

Cost in Australia? $0.

But even revered public institutions need to be simultaneously on the offensive and the defensive these days. There is no "neutral public good" when there's another side playing with no rules at all.

The BBC don't owe an apology to Trump and giving in to his shit does nothing but encourage him to do it more.

Fuck him, and fuck them for giving in instantly.

Can you imagine how different the country would feel about Dems right now if, instead of caving, they had all donated their salaries during the shutdown to food banks in their districts? They would have survived (they still have health coverage), people would have food & they would have been heroes.

My thoughts on John Kerr? John Kerr was a narcissistic subservient delusional alcoholic who did his best to destroy Australia’s democracy and nothing more. Forever a black mark in Australia’s political history. Ian

How much money do you think a private school linked to Scientology should get from the NSW Government?

In 2022, the Athena school with only 55 students received total Government funding of over a million dollars.

That Ezra Klein / Coates interview shed a lot light. The Democrats also think this a game. It’s an after school club where you take turns winning and cussing gets you sent to the principal. People are dying but the extracurricular is really important and lucrative.
Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

I have such sadness about our Australian flag. It has been hijacked in the most awful way by the right wing & conservatives who have made it their own. It has lost meaning for me. It has been disrespected in so many ways that I cringe when I see it. Our flag is no longer honored.

The Survivors on Netflix. A superb drama set in Tasmania. When a tragedy occurs and a small town is torn apart, no one escapes unscathed, even years later. Highly recommend.
