It's been 13 years since the federal govt published guidelines recommending that where forms ask for gender, individuals should have the option to select M, F or X. Yet I still have to select Mr, Ms, Mrs, Miss or Dr for my super account and most flight bookings

arrrgggh I changed my name legally 6 months ago yet in mygov half my accounts are still in my dead English name and I have been stuck in a loop for months trying to change them FML

hopefully this Moira Deeming debacle helps people see that anti-trans campaigners define gender much as they apparently define "headlock" - in a convoluted, nonsensical conspiracy at odds with what most people simply and compassionately understand

Angus Taylor's attempts to draw a clear dividing line between "deserving" citizens and "undeserving" non-citizens will fail because no such line can be drawn. Thank you @byjackrevell.bsky.social for including this vital perspective and context. READ: www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Following the decision from the Board of the Adelaide Festival, The Australia Institute is withdrawing its support from this year’s literary festival. Here is our statement, and a personal one from me.

As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi. A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.

I will be withdrawing from two panels I was to chair at Adelaide Writers Week 2026. I stand in solidarity with Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, and other Palestinian Australian writers. I urge all writers to do the same. Watch out for statements from SA mob. www.adelaidefestival.com.au/news/2025/ad...

Well, I was going to be on a panel at the Adelaide Writers' Festival but I'm not any more.

I stand with Randa and everyone standing against hate, genocide, oppression and terror. In all its forms.

Exclusive | Speakers are boycotting the Bendigo Writers Festival after receiving a code of conduct from event organisers that required “compliance” with a controversial definition of antisemitism.

Israel has killed 180 Palestinian journalists since Oct 2023. There are 120 of us in this video remembering our slain Palestinian colleagues - it's staggering to see so many faces and realise more than this number have been killed. #StopKillingJournalists #SanctionIsraelNow meaa.io/45A4vZ5

Over 100 journalists from every outlet you can think of are in this video. Journalists care about the truth and about our brave colleagues in Gaza. It's the bosses who have let us all down. Join your union.

Israel has killed 180 Palestinian journalists since Oct 2023. There are 120 of us in this video remembering our slain Palestinian colleagues - it's staggering to see so many faces and realise that more than this number of media workers have been killed. #StopKillingJournalists #SanctionIsraelNow

One of the many devastating things about making this video was that we had to update it about three times during the making to account for further killings of journalists, including (you'll see at the end) a special mention of the 6 Al Jazeera journalists targeted by Israel. Please watch to the end.

Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital aje.io/onll19

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Unwelcome? This is literally your policies working as designed.

Imagine the public outcry and Murdoch media beat-up if Australia allowed the China lobby to define sinophobia then enacted censorship on the PRC's behalf. Yet that's exactly what's happening with Israel and antisemitism.

In recent months, we have lost a significant portion of our funding. Yet we remain committed to helping the world better understand China at this critical juncture in global politics. We are asking for your help to keep our websites up and running. giving.chinadigitaltimes.net/page/serverc...

Working at @chinadigitaltimes.net was the highest honor. Though much of CDT's work is archival, it is not a monument to what was. CDT is a future website. It is the only place in the world you can see what a free Chinese internet *will* look like.

My cousin's 10yo just interviewed me for a school project and it was so fun! I love talking to young journalists 😊 Not sure if all my comments about Pauline Hanson and 90s racism will make it through but I enjoyed reflecting on my experience as a child migrant

Thank you to everyone who came along to the Naarm launch of #Salvage last night! Huge thanks to @jinghuaqian.com for the excellent, in-depth in-conversation and to Readings for hosting. 💙📚🎉

Key aspect was that 1 in 5 people thought the changes to tax concessions of super balances over $3m would affect them. In reality, it's about 1 in 200. Easy test: if you don't know how much is in your super you won't be affected (because people with $3m in their super sure as sh*t know it)

Friends, we're asking for your help. If you’re in a position to give, consider a tax-deductible donation between now and June 30. Any and all donations are valued, and don't worry, there are so many other ways to support us - just read, share, contribute and subscribe. overland.org.au/donate/

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Rather than what the 1% make, the more interesting fact for me is that if your income is $100,000, it's well above the median everywhere, even in the richest suburbs. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...
