As a journalist, can I ask that you also ensure that they treat the Palestinians with similar respect? Ensuring the safety of innocent civilians targeted by your ally should be a paramount responsibility

Whatever your feelings about Novak Djokovic, the fact that a multimillionaire celeb with lawyers seemingly found the legal process confusing should make Australians think about how difficult escaping a warzone with limited English or assistance might be.

Can barely compute what this poor young girl endured in her short life. I hope authorities can examine her story and ways to improve the various services involved. I know it isn't a simple fix but I desperately hope no other person has to go through such horrific experiences. RIP

to me the rampant abuse present in the church is not due to enforced celibacy (although that shouldn't be enforced), because the rape of children isn't about having a consensual sexual experience, it's about the abuse of power which occurs regardless of celibacy
