Over the past few months, I’ve received threats for covering critical global issues, particularly Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the ongoing situation in Syria. Your support is more vital now than ever

As CEO of the Mornington Peninsula Support Centre, I’ve seen too many families in crisis this Christmas.
Food & cost-of-living relief shouldn’t rely on volunteers. It’s time for the government to step up. As your independent, I’ll push for real action for those in need.

A false “active shooter” situation happened at the NCA cheerleading comp in Texas.
30k+ athletes were screaming and running for their lives.
Right wingers are using this to laugh at “how could you not tell it was a pole falling”
How about you be kind to kids who thought they were going to die?
