I note with extreme interest, the ABC has spent millions settling cases in the past few years with white men that they clearly have not wanted to enter into an open court battle with.

The ABC however, is happy to aggressively witch-hunt a Lebanese woman to the ends of the earth.

Why?

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch as tears go by.

Such an extraordinary life - RIP Marianne 🤍🤍

‘At the age of 37, she realised she would never drive through Paris in a sports car with the wild wind in her hair.’
Vale Marianne Faithfull.

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.

Morning everyone, I took a couple of months off over Christmas as I have not been particularly well and have been waiting on seeing the results of my next scan, which if not good would be not good at all. Having given it a lot of thought, I’ve decided that even if the result is good, eventually, one

Extremist, misogynistic haters have no place in Australian parliament. This is hideous stuff from Babet. Calling a woman “thing”, “witch” and “demon” is beyond offensive. I hope the senate condemns this filth.

Wondering what Millionaire Peter Dutton up to today?

I've just been perusing Peter Dutton's speeches & media releases over the past two years and he loves to take a dig at "wealthy elites"

I am here to beg you - every one of you - to always, always refer to him as Millionaire Peter Dutton from now
