If we want to “let kids be kids”, and shield them from bullying, the pressure to conform, disinformation, and even potential sexual abuse, why we don’t we ban organised religion for anyone under 16?

Media gives Barnaby Joyce protected status as a maverick but overlook for many years he has been trouble for his own side. Subject of multiple allegations of sexual harassment—allegations he denies which have never been properly investigated by his party.

Barnaby Joyce isn't a 'maverick' political genius. He's a politically poisonous sook
The media gives Barnaby Joyce protected status as a maverick — but overlook that for many years he has been nothing but trouble for his own side.

The US is a failed state descending into corrupt authoritarianism. Australia should have started distancing itself from the US years ago. #auspol
RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

Deafening silence at flawed process. NACC and the Robodebt investigation. - Michael West
Three months have passed since NACC promised an “impartial and fair investigation” into Robodebt, and legal experts question the process.

Back in the distant days when I lived a scholarly life, a former High Court judge told me one of my articles descended to the level of a gossip column. I’ve never been more proud. Here, I apply those skills to the Liberal Party-National Party saga. #auspol

No one has given the Prime Minister the credit he deserves for running a very strategic government and campaign
Anthony Albanese delivered a historic win for Labor
And took the seats of the Opposition Leader and Green's Leader while splitting the remainders of the minor parties
Well done Albo

Wow, this was an election that just keeps on giving. Now it’s blown up the Coalition. Albo must have got the Pope to use his divine contacts.

Four women dead, one week.
The latest? Up to 5 masked men kidnapped a woman from her home after assaulting her and her kids.
UP TO FIVE MASKED MEN.
And police say the community can be "reassured" because it's a suspected targeted attack.
Reassured?

A 'level of violence unheard of' but yet more silence as another woman killed
Four women dead with police reporting levels of violence "unheard of". But there is no talk of terrorism or national security. Just silence.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
