Good Food Chef of the year Lauren Eldridge - photographed with desserts wiped on her check and forehead.
This type of image infantilises women.
Eldridge has won a significant award.
I bet if the winner had been a man he wouldn’t have been photographed in such a way.

I hope all advertisers defect.
Go the wonderful Mad Fuvking Witches (FMW) and their madly successful campaign against grubby Sandilands.
(Of course SMH fails to mention the MFW - but we all know the witches have been after Sandilands for some time now)

Littleproud backs away from his ludicrous nuclear future policy.
But too late.
Bye bye David.
Hope they get someone not so dumb to replace him.
We do need at least a semblance of an opposition

I so love MFWitches.
They told VileKyle to p*ss off out of Melbourne - that his misogynistic crude crap was not wanted there. Then they campaigned against him by mobilising the MFWitches army against his advertisers.
It worked!
Bye bye Kyle
Don’t f*vk with the witches!

If you think it couldn’t get any worse than a future for Australia led by Dutton, think again.
How about one led by Andrew Hastie?

Sean Kelly is right. The amount of money we give rich kids in Australia is to help them “get even further ahead” is “pretty shocking”.
It’s way past time to stop giving millions in government funding to rich schools.

This is NOT true.
There’s a HUGE difference between Labor and the Coalition.
Labor will fully fund public schools, invest in renewables and takes climate change seriously.
Dutton is planning to cut funding to public services, will invest in never never nuclear and doesn’t believe in climate change

Um
No he didn’t.
By claiming he couldn’t afford to buy a home he made his millionaire father Peter Dutton look like a miserly and cold hearted dunderhead who was refusing to help his son

What mean spirited a*seholes.
Of all issues facing us now this is what they think is important?
Stuff off Clive and all who sail in your little ship.

Dutton is clearly flagging that he will cut funding to the #ABC and to public education.
Fair funding for public schools has been hard fought for. We are so near now it would be devastating if Dutton got to it first

The #smh is on trend with a bitchy little review of Meghan Markle’s new fashion collection.
