Downer had a drink in a bar with a Trump crony who was all "lol Russia got dirt on Hillza for us", Downer reported it back to Australia, now the Crony/US government is trying to pull a puppetmaster defence and is also accusing him of spying. As far as I can tell the US media isn't using THAT photo. This is a pretty good summary.

The family and I have travelled from Albury to Brisbane via central NSW over the last couple of days.
On the NSW side not a single creek had any water and multiple rivers crossings were bridges over dry beds. Almost every farm dam was empty too. Everything was so dry and dead. Its even worse when you consider we are just over a month into spring. It was only when we were in qld did we see some water in dams and creeks but the land seemed just as dry.

God, the worst TERFs are always second-wavers.

Do they get the irony of like, wanting to restrict the way a person can live their life based on their genitals?

To be clear the neo-second waver was an assumption on my part rather than anything i could factually find. That she considers Lesbians the pre-eminent women class still sicks out like a sore thumb though.

gonna fix this by building more dams to catch the rain that didnt fall and pipes to take water from places running out of water to the places that already have

Oh also Rudy, his lawyer, just keeps admitting to more and more crimes, usually on TV. They say he's the only lawyer who could argue a traffic ticket down to first degree murder, for context. Apparently he did a Leak (head trauma leading to increasingly unhinged behaviour). Graham started out super anti-Trump, ended up doing a 180, which people freely speculate is due to Trump blackmailing him (apparently it's a pretty open secret that he's gay and he has a large evangelical base, but others have speculated there's an Epstein link as well).

Everyone close to Trump goes down. It's happened without fail. If he brings down Morrison, in events that were kickstarted by Downer under Turnbull, I will quite probably literally die laughing. And I'm fine with that.

A naturopath who told vulnerable clients that their cancer was a fungus that could be cured with bicarbonate soda rather than through conventional medical treatment has been barred from practising for life, according to the New South Wales Health Care Complaints Commission.

Barbara O’Neill describes herself as a qualified naturopath and nutritionist and has worked at health retreats in Queensland, Victoria and NSW. She gives lectures internationally, has authored books on health and nutrition, and appears in YouTube videos. The HCCC found: “Mrs O’Neill does not recognise that she is misleading vulnerable people including mothers and cancer sufferers by providing very selective information.”

The New South Wales Greens have apologised after the party published a transphobic article in its member newsletter that claimed the “transactivist agenda” had “negative consequences” for women.

...

On Thursday, NSW Greens co-convenor Rochelle Flood and the party’s Newtown MP, Jenny Leong, issued a statement calling the article “completely unacceptable,” saying it “seeks to delegitimise and deny the fundamental rights of trans people”.

“It is completely unacceptable that a transphobic article was published in the latest edition of GreenMail, the Greens’ members internal magazine. We are so sorry this happened,” the statement read.

“We want to stress that the views expressed in this article are entirely inconsistent with Greens principles and our policies on trans rights.

“The views expressed by the author of this article are harmful and should never have been published in a Greens NSW publication. We offer our sincere apologies that this occurred and for the harm caused as a result of this.”

...

Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi also criticised the article, writing on Twitter: “This is not acceptable and I’m really sorry it happened. This is completely inconsistent with Greens’ policies and principles.”

quote:

Mr Dutton urged people to surveil the protesters and distribute their images.

“People should take these names and the photos of these people and distribute them as far and wide as they can, so that we shame these people,” Mr Dutton said.

“They are acting outside of the law. Let their families know what you think of their behaviour.”

Alternatively, but literally no better at all, is that "it would be wrong not to publish this as a feminist ally and that views should not be squashed for any reason".

More research shows Margot Oliver is def old school-second wave feminist this is from Green Left Weekly 1995

on Saturday a film stream which is being run by Margot Oliver, who organised the film stream at the first conference in 1978. There is a lot of choice — some might complain there is too much!

so yeah she's been involved for decades
