Yes, I’m jumping on this bandwagon… at election time all we hear about is “working families”.
Yet many people live alone; no marriage, no children, no assistance for anything.
We deserve to be recognised in policies to improve access to health care, education, etc.

“Wear a mask indoors and in crowded areas” should be at the top of this list. You know it and we know it. Shameful public health messaging.

Since I was a kid, my thoughts on the misogyny problem in Australia always brought me back to men’s sport and the way it is treated as the pinnacle of all achievements in this country. It spurs a mentality that permeates the culture in ways that many don’t like to admit
