To mock someone for speaking openly about a medical condition that affects so many Australians is beneath contempt.
Jacqui’s courage gives voice to thousands of women who might otherwise suffer in silence.
Ridiculing her disrespects every one of them.

If this were Iran, or another "enemy" country, it would be the top story in every news outlet on the planet.
#Breaking: European diplomats, including French and Polish representatives, who went to the West Bank to observe the olive harvest, have been violently assaulted by Israeli settlers.

Pauline Hanson is personally responsible for ramping up a culture of hysterical HATE towards politicians & now Helen Haines is critically injured by a nutter outside her own electoral office. I see a direct link between the two. Hanson should tell her hoons to stand down. #auspol

Harsh but fair
Jokes about a vaginal prolapse ? Hanson demonstrates, yet again, that she is a vicious, nasty, sleazy grub.

The Nationals and various farmers groups have copped every less than satisfactory trade deal negotiated by Coalition governments going all the way back to the USFTA under Howard… there is more than a hint of dumb partisan politics here.@RNBreakfast

Bastards
Watch the dump on Matt Doran for daring to report on @ABCnews the escalating murderous ‘settler’ violence in the occupied West Bank of Palestine.

Way time we scrapped the word ‘settlers.’ They are nothing of the sort. They are Israeli terrorist thugs, illegally seizing land that is not theirs and occasionally murdering the owners.
Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks.
Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. wapo.st/4yt6dHY

Days before his election, Netanyahu’s extremist government is again cutting off food and shelter for 2 million people in Gaza.
This illegal and immoral collective punishment will starve children.
Not another tax dollar for these atrocities.
END U.S. MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL NOW!

Jeff Kennett: Opened 0 schools and closed 350.
Bracks/Brumby: Opened 28 schools, rebuilt 17, merged 96, and closed 39.
Baillieu/Napthine: Built 0 schools and closed 0 schools.
Andrews/Allan: Built 121 schools (since 2017), upgraded thousands more, and closed only a handful (roughly 10, mostly tied to small-scale mergers).
I’ve long argued that conservative governments deliberately cut education funding. Why? Because they know an educated electorate won't vote for them.
The data speaks for itself: not a single school was built across 11 years of Liberal government in Victoria.
Given the Liberal Party's track record, how many schools do you honestly expect Jess Wilson to open or close?
And given NAPLAN results of recent years—where Victoria has led the country across most categories—will a Liberal/One Nation coalition reduce the quality of your child's education?

The first Kohler & Kohler podcast with son @ChrisKohler which will be fortnightly. I am still the first Kohler (for now). It was fun, bringing our daily chats to a wider audience.

Hard to believe the ABC would punish a journalists’ union official, who happens to work for the ABC, for doing union work. 🤷♂️ theguardian.com/media/2026/o…

Alan Kohler has been a superb commentator for decades. So many times he's differed from the mainstream view points, but nearly always he has had the more accurate perspective.

High school drama enrolments are falling precipitously. Here’s a tip: drama helped my debating, improved my English, got me my first serious girlfriend and helped me score a great job. You gain so much. So go for it. 🎭 smh.com.au/national/nsw/we-a…
