LGBTIQA+ advocates are concerned the social media ban will have a significant impact on queer youth in regional and remote areas of Australia. They say there are not enough offline, physical supports for these teens to access when the ban comes into effect.

World's media today will be full of emotive stories about the release of ~20 Israeli hostages held by HAMAS for 2 years. There will be no similar stories about the ~2000 Palestinian hostages to be released by Israel, many imprisoned for much longer.

Racist, much? That's x100 racist.

Disgraceful abuse of the legal system to silence and defame critics of Israel. In honour of the Streisand effect, I encourage everyone to listen to this

I see David Speers could barely contain his glee at the thought of Mel Gibson or Jon Voight or Sylvestor Stallone being appointed US Ambassador to Australia.

Why do they feel so immune to the consequences of these shocking actions? I don't get it #auspol #insiders

We're in a number of groups

We all need the solidarity, it enables more capacity, rest when needed, a range of ages and strategies, sharing the load etc.

Nope

They have received ~6000 referrals, not all of them are relevant to corruption or even relevant. They are then assessed and shortlisted, then investigated again

The mid-level manager was not a criminal conviction, nor was it deemed criminal behaviour. She resigned and that was the end of it
