If the Governor General secretly swore-in a Prime Minister to side-hustle Ministries, and the same Prime Minister promised $18 million to a pop-up charity supported by the Governor General that had no office, history, or plan, what time is the GG resigning?

A commentator has used the word “bedwetter” as an insult again, so once more I am asking people - please - not to do this. Bedwetting is a normal stage of child development, and a recognised symptom of real trauma. Grown-ups using cruel, school-bully taunts make me wince.

Bettina Arndt given Australia Day honour for ’services to gender equity’. Wonder which lurking cabal of grim-faced rorty grifters, Young Liberals, and misogyny’s henchfolk came up with that bit of snickering troll work?

Men, please be mindful of how women have to go through life - always alert. YOU might know you won’t attack us. We can’t know that. Don’t make us sit there poised to defend ourselves. Don’t crowd us or sit next to us/right behind us in an empty carriage.

Hearing the argument that the man who’s gone to court to whinge that he was refused entry to a women’s lounge art work in an art museum was, in being refused entry, thereby experiencing the intended art of the work, has cheered me up immensely. What a plonker.

Saying First Nations people were never at war with colonists is absurd. It’s recorded in military, government & settler history, countless Trove articles, Aboriginal records, my family’s (non-Aboriginal) 1800s documents. Past time for media to acknowledge Price as a proven liar.

In my grandmothers’ day there were entire wards in each major capital city hospital devoted to the damage & sepsis caused by illegal abortions. A bridge nearby was well-known as the place desperate pregnant young women went, to slip themselves into the river. They couldn’t swim.

Imagine thinking your legacy was a media company and not understanding it’s actually a sullen squabble of middle-aged children, and a public memory across continents of a wife-sacking, phone-hacking, Trump-backing, heart-lacking husk of a human.

This is not nature, for gawd’s sake. Those poor, nocturnal animals. ‘Pets’ as the result of illegal wildlife smuggling, on the other side of the world: no forest, just a bloody door in somebody’s house. I hate this trend for ‘cute’ videos of Australian native animals in the US.

Surely this requires a resignation. A weapons seller on the board of a public news broadcaster is unacceptable, regardless of newsroom policy. (Many bizarre LNP board appointments to our cultural institutions are still to be undone.) #auspol

I will never forget how HEALTH minister Tony Abbott and other religious fanatics discouraged its use, and then the anti-vaxxers started. It’s one of the greatest, simplest, triumphant health gifts to women, men and non binary folk.

I’m upset about the State Library fiasco because it’s a sacred space for me, for all of us, a repository & a reliquary of learning, knowledge, art & culture. It’s a cathedral of books. It’s free. It’s ours. It hurts my brain and my heart to see them obliviously trash its values.

The headmaster of a private school has explained that a vicious brutal murderer was delightful, a former boys’ school prefect who spoke normally to other staff members. I bet you he’s never asked, expressed interest it, or heard what a girl or woman thought of him.

Women (trans & cis) & non binary folk are being confronted in public toilets by bigots: one young cis friend with long hair & lipstick wearing a skirt was aggressively harassed with a trans slur in a shop centre loo this weekend for wearing a rainbow accessory. Just MYOB.

Would @theage editor like to explain why it’s using an accused rapist’s salacious term in a headline to describe a crime? And why it uses the term ‘orgies’ instead of multiple sexual assaults? How different are you from a gossip tabloid with this?
