Worldwide, protection for women & children is vanishing at a rapid rate as, fifty years after the first few steps were taken to empower women, produced a 'too threatened by female power to allow it to continue' masculinism takes over again. ❄️❄️❄️

#auspol I'm still reeling from the idea of a private (religious) army of armed volunteers in our midst. Social cohesion? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

So do 'suggestions' from politicians & others that IDF bases be set up in Australia & land given away to colonialists cronies. So Balfour & Lord Rothschild. michaelwest.com.au/six-eyes-aus... en.royanews.tv/news/70973/A... www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04... australiandemocracy.org.au/statecapture

Worst idea I’ve ever heard

...was Lowy there? ...how many innocents would the #IDF Armed Guards have murdered (...overheard: "well he looked like a #Palestinian - he was only 4yo - he's still a terrorist!") ...does Lowy travel with illegal 'armed #IDF guards'? ...has any member of Lowy's family served in the #IDF?

But they were chosen ...

6/ ME community? $25M for 300t AU Palestinian, Muslim & other affected communities + $25M over three years for the Security Uplift for Muslim Communities Program. & Social Cohesion? From 2024-29 $178.4M + $1.2 M p.a. Is it a case of squeaky wheel gets the grease? Or something more substantial?

5/ & 2026-27 Budget for gender-based violence & 13M AU women’s safety & security? Well, the Government says it will focus on increasing national coordination & funding of frontline services. Katy Gallagher: Obviously women’s safety is an area where we’re not seeing the impact we want to see. 6/

4/ But wait - $32.5M & $22M added to support security at Jewish community sites; a total security funding has reached $124 million in certain periods; Jewish leaders welcome $600 million in federal budget for Bondi terror attack response. This will cover approx. 140,000 citizens. 5/

3/ How generous? Jewish Community Security Infrastructure Program in Victoria, have offered funding up to $200,000 per project for physical security upgrades; $6 million granted specifically for the mental health & wellbeing of students in Jewish & Islamic schools; 4/

2/💡Or an army of armed volunteers be recruited to protect women & children against the men who love them? australianfemicidewatch.org/database/ Wait, what? Jewish schools, institutions & community sites are given generous grants administered by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ)... 3

🤔 could the 34 women & 14 AU children murdered so far in 2026 been saved if an RC had been held into men's domestic violence & god given entitlements? Or if 13.69 Million AU Women were given a Voice, An Office to Parliament & an RC instead of the 140,000 incl 51,213 women it was given to? 2/

From conservative christians to the Taliban, all religions are manmade (as is the religiously inspired language we speak) for the sole purpose of imposing power & control or silencing others, mainly women, for the sole benefit of the men who made it up. 👇 www.youtube.com/shorts/n7uCV... 🤨

Liberals galloping to the right.

Apparently the BBC is the first network, to report from the Iranian side of the Strait of Hormuz, since the US and Israel decided to attack Iran. To date, no news network has been allowed into Gaza to report. Israel forbids this, whilst claiming Palestinians are not occupied.

Dolly Parton’s message thanking Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for their $2 million donation to her Imagination Library! “I'm blown away and overjoyed with that gratitude. Now, it's evident that you two have made giving back a key part of your lives.”

Huh? If it’s so natural for Australians to want to look into AUKUS, why is the Albanese Government so hellbent on blocking an inquiry? #auspol

Genuinely Orwellian. Neither UNESCO nor @albomp.bsky.social's & Murray Watt's @australianlabor.bsky.social government should be taken seriously when they attempt to deceive us with utter nonsense that's grossly inconsistent with what science & our own eyes tell us. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

But all the Captain Cook statues get to stay where they are, eh?

On this episode, we discuss a Cuba solidarity film screening, nationwide protests against Swisse and upcoming protests outside the NSW Labor conference. www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1457/ne...

Good!!! Minns is a far right authoritarian with a monstrous vicious policing of peaceful protests #MinnsMustGo

Sydney records hottest June since 1859 as expert warns new high a ‘signature’ of global warming

@mlauriat.bsky.social @panetto.bsky.social Ya.. Don't be so sure Fox knew that there's a bunch of ignorant reporters on that station

Yeah!!

A couple of observations about H5N1 (bird flu) developments and commentary to date. 1. Some orgs are drumming up hysteria and trying to leverage it for their own agendas and $ benefits. 2. Scientists and organisations not speaking about risks, including duck hunting, are failing a duty of care.

Mamdani is, as the argot of the recent past has it, absolutely slaying it at being mayor. He may have done more good for more New York residents than any mayor before him. New York is a lucky town. Mamdani strides the Five Boroughs like the political colossus NYC always needed.

CSPAN is airing John Adams and Thomas Jefferson impersonators as if they’re in an actual debate and is treating the whole thing like it’s real. Thrilling. Absolutely thrilling.

Just another reason to cement that I will not vote ALP under the current leadership or policy tangent. #auspol

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” (Published July 2025)

Nearly 1 in 5 Arkansas families struggle to eat. Republicans run all 7 of America’s hungriest states. Their response? Delete the USDA hunger report, pass the largest SNAP cut in history, and slash food bank funding as demand climbs. Hunger is a choice they made. Vote them out.

Ditto!

I voted for HER!

Barnaby's report on his "study tour" - at least this time it's not provided by SMS to HQ and we can avail ourselves of his words of wisdom on the scam that is net zero. What a load of drivel

@nicolechvastek.bsky.social @lucyham.bsky.social @angry-goddess.bsky.social Here’s another one…anti abortion terrorist Joanna Howe mysteriously gets $219,000 and spends it on anti abortion adverts during SA election, but doesn’t declare it, in violation of SA law. On a professors salary to boot

A summary of the HandMaid’s tale in 2 minutes. I saw the beginning episodes of this. It freaked me out. Things don’t happen all of a sudden. They slowly build. Recall that we are living in a time where Project 2025 is coming alive. #Pinks
