I’d have probably also thought this if I hadn’t read the article by Jess Hill and Salter that he’s referencing, which is pretty convincing. It basically says the data on DV suggests it’s not better in more gender-equal countries and thus improving gender equality is necessary but not sufficient to lower DV. Also that public health interventions work better when they target people at risk (of perpetrating in this case) rather than everyone.

Here's your news dump.

Guardian AU posted:

The sentencing of army whistleblower, David McBride, begins this morning almost five years after he was first charged for his role in leaking secret defence documents about Australia’s involvement in Afghanistan.

The former military lawyer pleaded guilty in the ACT supreme court in December to three offences, including stealing commonwealth information and passing that on to journalists at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. This morning, supporters and advocates gathered at the ACT supreme court to rally against the federal government’s pursuit of McBride. McBride arrived shortly before 10am, briefly addressing the media and his supporters: "I say to the federal government, stop talking about doing the right thing and actually do the right things."
McBride said he disagreed with a recent ABC Four Corners episode, which questioned McBride’s framing as a “whistleblower”. Asked how he wanted the public to perceive him, McBride said: "As someone that stood up for Australian values in the face of a government who has lost sight."

The sentencing is scheduled to run until Tuesday.

Guardian AU posted:

The prime minister was also asked about the pro-Palestine encampments taking place across Australian universities. Specifically, he was asked about the phrase “from the river to the sea” used by protesters, and responded: "It is a slogan that calls for opposition to a two-state solution. My position is very clear and the government’s position is clear and it has been a bipartisan position for a long period of time."

Anthony Albanese continued by saying “the Middle East is a complex issue” that required a “considered response”. Government’s position is very clear, which is [that] the long-term solution in the Middle East requires a two-state solution – the right of Israel to continue to exist within secure borders but the right of Palestinians to have justice as well, to have self-determination and also to be able to live in security, peace and prosperity.

… And I think the slogan that you refer to dismisses that, which is not in the interests of Israelis, but it is not in the interests of Palestinians.

That's loving weird isn't it Albo given that "Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty." was part of the governing party Likud's loving policies. Where's the condemnation of that?

loving strange how this poo poo only cuts one way.

Guardian AU posted:

The federal government’s plan to front a stipend for teaching, nursing, midwifery and social work placements has been rejected as a “slap in the face” to students, with the Greens urging Labor to make the payments universal and not limited by degrees.

Students are required to complete hundreds of hours of unpaid placements in a number of courses including psychology, counselling and physiotherapy that are excluded from Labor’s announcement.

Greens deputy leader and spokesperson for education, senator Mehreen Faruqi, said Labor was moving in the right direction but all students should be paid for their hours of work to at least the minimum wage. Labor has suggested the payment be benchmarked to the single Austudy rate of $319.50 a week from 2025.

Great that students who have to do mandatory work to complete their degrees are going to get paid, but also it should be all loving students, gently caress this free work garbage.

What is the thread view on HECS and the govt changes?

I'm inclined to think it's middle/upper-class welfare and it's telling that one of the loudest voices on the issue is a Teal.

If you're proper rich you don't have a HECS debt, your parents pay up front for a discount. This change is to ensure it's indexed at the lower of either CPI or WPI so you don't end up in a debt trap that you can not repay because your wages never grow enough.

Anything taking us towards free education or reducing the cost of education is good.

Go further, make it all free so anyone can go to university too.
