It's not uncommon in digital media. If you want to write and get your name out there, cool, they can publish it.. It's questionable, I'm not defending it too hard, but now they pay everyone, as well as having a huge staff of fully employed women.
So, your argument is that it's fine to be poo poo if other people are poo poo too?

Why are you so obsessed with Mia Freedman?

We don't choose who we are attracted to. This is not wrong or controversial. Her clumsy phrasing does not make her a faux feminist. The whole network is emphatically pro queer.

No one here gives a poo poo about Mia. She's not poor, she's not downtrodden, she sticks her foot in her mouth with alacrity, and she does not practice what she preaches. Outrage crusade fail.

One Nation senator Peter Georgiou helps Sri Lankan 457 visa holder get residency

quote:

A West Australian One Nation senator has distanced himself from one of his party's main policy platforms by stepping in to assist a 457-visa holder secure permanent residency.

Sri Lankan man Edwin Asariyas, has been working as an electrician in Kalgoorlie in WA's Goldfields since 2011.

Last month the 57-year-old's application to stay in the country was rejected.

Senator Peter Georgiou intervened, arranging a meeting with the Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Alex Hawke, and Mr Asariyas was yesterday granted permanent residence.

The move is out of step with his party's stance that Australians should be prioritised over foreign workers when it comes to local employment.

But Senator Georgiou, a sparky himself, said this was a special case.

"We had a good look at the facts and the circumstances surrounding Edwin's case," Mr Georgiou said.

Yes but this is a good one. Still, I'm rating it as :unsmith: because Pauline and James are nowhere near it.

Considering their policies are just contradicting stances on free markets/protectionism, not much. Anti-immigration is the only policy platform One Nation seems to be consistent on.

I think many have expected some kind of split down the line, maybe not like this. It's interesting that WA PHON is doing its own thing which might tarnish the brand a bit, or even better lead the way in other states.

Matter of fact, I'm salty now.
So something which isn't getting airtime at the moment is the allegations against Ruby Markwell, the lead singer for "The Football Club" and Triple J Unearthed comp winners. Several people have recently come out reporting that they are victims of sexual abuse/rape perpetrated by Ruby Markwell, which is ironic given the pro-LGBTQIA/rape surivivor bent that the band/song has.

It's mostly on Facebook right now, but the allegations are coming from friends of friends of mine, and while all allegations of rape should be taken seriously, I'd consider this to be coming from fairly authoritative sources. Currently Triple J are doing their best to quash any comments on their pages as they claim they can't have anything defaming on their webzones, but it's also reducing the possible impact this story could have.

It's an extremely hosed up situation and highlights how you can have abuse within same-sex relationships AND a failure for people to speak out against the perpetrators due to lack of support/perceived influence within the LGBTQIA community.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

"What can have possessed Mia Freedman to do what she did?" my ex- and current editor Jonathan Green tweeted after RoxaneGaygate had descended. Sophie Cunningham and Gay Alcorn joined him in his bewilderment at this lapse of reason. Ah, the left-liberals we love, with their winsome search for the rational kernel at the heart of social action! Freedman, in the process of launching Mamamia in the US, invited an African-American author in for an interview about her book detailing her complex relationship to food, appetite, her body and much more, and then released memos detailing questions about whether she could get in the lift and describing her as "super morbidly obese".

Why would you look for anything consciously rational in these actions? They’re an obvious psychological defense. Gay is an author capable of writing stylishly, in a number of registers, from the high theoretical and political to the immediate and the personal, and who has gained her position and career by hard work against the adversity of racial oppression, poverty, and the stigma she discusses in Hunger. Freedman, the white daughter of a rich property developer, slid into a career in the glossies and used her elite connections to spin out into Mamamia. She writes and edits drivel. She has assembled a whole media empire as a vast hall of mirrors, reflecting her back from every angle -- and then mused aloud why she has spent years crippled by anxiety.

Rather than examining her life to discover the roots of this existential conditions, she advocates the quick fix of drugs, including the all-purpose Lexapro (one of whose side-effects is listed as "impulsivity". Read the small print). Her bizarre treatment of Gay makes sense when you realise that Gay’s achievements tower over Mia’s, and that part of her much-publicised anxiety may arise from the deep sense that she’s a bit of a fraud. Gay’s very existence annihilates Mia, and trashing her publicly in some pathetic year 11 mean girl schtick is an act of psychic defence. Quite possibly an expensive one. The arguably racist attack on Gay will trash Mamamia's brand in the US, absolutely. If you’re still expecting great thing from it, I have some Channel Ten shares you might be interested in acquiring. Still, a teachable moment, for liberals. Look for the rational motive last, in these circumstances. And maybe dip into Freud’s The Psychopathology of Everyday Life from time to time.
