NSW police say DFV is 40% of calls. NSW Police cost $5 billion per year. NSW Police are the worst responders - survivors attest police are a last or non resort, saying the reasons are fear and mistrust of police, who regularly criminalise and endanger victims.
Spend $2 billion on what works.

Australia knows how to end gender-based violence. What we lack is the political will to make the fiscal decisions that match the crisis, writes Katherine Berney.

I can’t vote in New York anymore but please vote for Zohran Mamdani because he’s the best candidate, and also he used to rap under the handle MR CARDAMOM and got Madhur Jaffrey to drop F bombs in his video for “NANI” (which is amazing)

Are Jewish Aston Villa fans banned?
No. Then it's not antisemitic.
You might not agree with it, but when anti-Semitism is screamed from every angle about everything, you're going so much harm. Using it like this dilutes it's impact when people are genuinely antisemitic.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

The Gaza death toll is not 63,000 — that’s the lie our leaders and media want you to swallow. The real number is likely 250,000+ and climbing. A genocide hidden in plain sight, enabled by silence, excuses and cowardice. #GazaGenocide #Auspol
The real death toll in Gaza
The widely “accepted” figure for Palestinian deaths in Gaza is more than 63,000. That is horrific enough , but the number is more likely nearer 300,000. And our media don’t care.

Meanjin Journal is 85 years old; older than the Sydney Opera House. Closing it down is cultural vandalism of the highest order, roughly equivalent to demolishing the above mentioned opera house.

Opinion | To be autistic in the NDIS machine is about as fun as being autistic in a Chemist Warehouse ... despite all the signs saying "AWESOME DEAL", you know you're being somehow taken advantage of, writes Patrick Marlborough.
People are using autism to rort the NDIS, but it’s not the people with autism
As a support worker (an autistic one to boot), I've had a ground’s-eye view of an industry with little to no oversight — one where government policy has had the marrow sucked out of it by a vicious circle of shoddy private companies.
