Time to tip the scales to see an end to 550,000 older women living below the poverty line in Australia, & and an end to older women's homelessness. #IWD2026.

HEY @smh, did you mean 'notoriety' like the supreme 'notorious' RGB; or in the RWM sense like reframing Obama's activism as wrongdoing?

Man who raped 14yr old & threatened to kill her needs to only spend 3yrs in jail & won't be put on child sex offenders register. How good is justice in Australia? @janecaro.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

There is no better way to tell women that police are REALLY concerned about DV & women's safety when they continue to exercise their privilege to give bail to their own kind who've been accused of the crime, right? @janecaro.bsky.social #Domesticviolence www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

A low down sexual predator who destroyed the careers & wellbeing of young women by exploiting his power over them as a judge shouldn't be fêted in any way. It sends a strong signal that the judiciary believes violence against women is acceptable. @janecaro.bsky.social @marquelawyers.bsky.social

Why do we immediately think of aged care? Same profit motive to maximise earnings. Same weak oversight on care standards. Same 'client' vulnerability. The system works well to keep the abuse going. @keagar.bsky.social @janecaro.bsky.social

White supremacy. Horrifying. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Parliamentarians Businessmen Judges Policemen Sportsmen Actors Unionists Thugs Violence against women knows no barrier. When will it ever end? @janecaro.bsky.social

Do I have this right? There was a conversation bw 2 women, Antoinette Lattouf & ABC's Elizabeth Green - nobody else was present - and now a group of men higher up the ABC cherry tree are telling the women they're both mistaken in what was said, even though nobody else was there but the 2 women?

Yes. Fundamentally MAGA is founded on toxic masculinity, reasserting male dominance over women & they’ll destroy the whole planet if need be to do it. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

We know for a fact that Israel has used starvation as a "weapon of war" in Gaza during this genocide. Astonishing the lengths to which ABC News, the national broadcaster, will go to so as not to expose its audience to facts. The new 'antisemite' is anyone Zionists hate. #auspol #Lattouf #StopIsrael

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

How fabulous to know that fossil fuel companies earn billions in profit & pay no tax, while our universities make deals with gambling companies to fund research. Australia. The Lucky Country. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Rape at any age is horrific. Rape when you're 90 is horrific. Older women raped in aged care usually die within a year. This woman died 13 days after the assault from her injuries. Can all the 'not all men' tell the others to stop raping women? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

1 in 6 older people in the community experience abuse. When you're still waiting nearly a year to see the draft of a new plan which was meant to take effect 346 days ago, you know that older people are not a priority. Lucky Country.

Should JobSeeker be pegged at the same rate as the pension, when the pension is BELOW the poverty line? Why not call for BOTH to be set ABOVE the poverty line? Why keep anyone living in poverty in the Lucky Country? www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

This should be HEADLINE news! Such an amazing achievement by our Paramatildas. Congratulations to the team, proving that no matter our ability, it takes commitment, dedication & guts to keep trying until we hit our goals. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Frankly, it is obscene that these schools receive millions in public funding while every public school in NSW is underfunded according to their SRS & govts cry poor when ut comes to closing the funding gap. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Just to be clear. Every time anyone blames anything on the lockdown, they are deluded or dishonest. Blaming the lockdown is denying the seriousness of the virus. The COVID virus, not lockdowns, is to blame for economic, social & health upheavals since 2020 & for ongoing damage

There are some escapee trolls sending out their tentacles into Blue Sky. They usually have 1 or 0 followers. I recommend instant block. No reward for trolling here.

Despite global efforts to see economic harm as a form of domestic violence, New Zealand’s Family Violence Act doesn’t recognise it as a standalone form of abuse.

The gross misogyny, sexism, racism & ableism spouted by the hosts undermine our collective efforts to foster a culture of respect & aim to stamp out violence. The regulator is as effective as a lettuce putting out an inferno. www.theguardian.com/media/2024/n...

How Gisele Pelicot could have sat through this trial amazes me. What a way to find out the truth about your life. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/w...

First Nations children as young as 10 get sent to jail but pedophiles & rapists who perpetrate the most horrific abuse against children & women can walk free. This is precisely what a Fair Go in the Lucky Country actually means. www.news.com.au/lifestyle/re...

At last. Privilege & access to power bought him 60 years. We may say the law finally caught up, but it is 60 years too late for the boys & men he allegedly abused. Thinking of them now. www.smh.com.au/national/ala...

Police said "it's not a family violence incident" but a "tragic set of circumstances." Actually, it was violence against a woman which resulted in her death. Let's call a spade a spade. @janecaro.bsky.social @lynlinking.bsky.social #violence www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
