Latest NSW crime stats out today show SF&DV assaults accounted for 66% of all NSW assaults last year. Raw figures are total 26454 all assaults, 15758 F&DV "serious" & "common" assaults, & 1600 sexual assaults of adults & kids.
Do we think this is serious enough yet to do something about urgently?

Time to stop obsessing over 'false allegations' of sexual violence and start listening to women
False allegations of sexual violence are uncommon. What we do see is the opposite problem. Most sexual assaults are never reported to police.

Got an email from a landlord saying their property is incorrectly listed on shitrentals.org because it was never managed by Ray white and the ceiling didn’t collapse. Googled the property and found it was rented by Ray white and then the renter showed me that the ceiling did in fact collapse.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

The justice system wants victims to be silent — and legal illiteracy makes sure of it
Recent developments in the Bruce Lehrmann case in Toowoomba show how complicated the justice system is to navigate.

Australia has an epidemic of police misidentification of F&DV victims as perpetrators. Instead of only funding police to be 1st responders we need skilled professionals alongside, or where possible, instead & a choice of solutions tailored to communities & need

Jacquie Thomson was brutally attacked and then misidentified as the aggressor. She's working to hold police accountable
Jacquie Thomson is one of a large number of women who police continue to misidentify as primary aggressors instead of as victim/survivors.

52yo Sean Sharman sent a death threat to 30yo Federal MP Fatima Payman. The judge: Payman was targeted bc of her gender, race & religion, it was offensive, hateful & racist. No jail time. Media: he'd been drinking. Now imagine if a Muslim man had sent a death threat to an MP. #auspol #justice

Police tell you their post "lock up the kids" laws saw crime rate ⬇️ 10% but tell parliament it was 6%. When we lock up the small % of kids who are doing most of the crime they're off the streets but will reoffend when back out. What about an actual informed solution?

In May 2025 Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie used his planning minister powers to refuse the Moonlight Range Wind Farm. It's now been revealed the community concern aspect of his decision was based on fabricated submissions. At best it's ministerial incompetence. At worst it's one for the CCC. #qldpol
