"Were it not for former ADVANCE spokeswoman Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price – and hundreds of thousands of ADVANCE supporters – I doubt the Coalition would have even taken a ‘no’ position." (email from Advance).

So, Jacinta Price doesn't represent Australians; she is a spokeswoman for Advance.

On this day in 2012 (9th October) Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard delivered her blistering speech on sexism and misogyny, demanding a better standard from ALL men & especially those in leadership roles.

Who needs some good news? The Australian state of Victoria made a record investment into wellbeing, mental health and “respectful relationship” support for kids at state schools. An impact survey of 380,000 of these young people has revealed they now feel safer, more secure and more resilient.

Video shows a blanket knitted by Irish activists as a tribute to Palestinian children killed in Gaza.

Each square of the blanket represents 10 of the nearly 19,000 children killed by Israeli forces in the besieged enclave.

The AUKUS deal ties Australia closer to an increasingly volatile and aggressive America.

When over two thirds of Australians supporting a Parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS, we should take this chance to escape this disastrous AUKUS deal.
