If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

Or who contribute to advancements in their field of expertise in ways that genuinely benefits people. Morrison was a grifter, spiteful & so deceitful. People like him should never make the list, let alone be given the nod.

Sadly, these "honours" have long been a joke & I feel sorry for those that have actually earned & deserved recognition that they are now so tainted.

It was "curse you" or "f#$* you," the latter of which actually is closer to representing the white-hot anger I feel, but I haven't ever posted that language on SM & decided not to start now 😶

As a woman it doesn't bother me at this point because the Lib women who could be in those positions don't represent me any more than the men taking their place.

I push back against the labelling of nasty Christians as "not real Christians" every chance I get. Christianity is in the eyes of the adherent/interpreter thanks to an inherently contradictory Bible & petrifying otherwise gives it undeserved credit for & authority over morality & decency.

All of those disqualify him from claiming the title "leader" or that he cares about anything other than his political power. All of those are unforgivable. And all of those take place as he pours fuel on the #ClimateCatastrophe with this act of pure, unadulterated, criminal vandalism.

God, you of all deities should know better than to perpetuate the harmful myth that doing Christianity "right" means kind/good/moral. You inspired the contradictory shit-show of a Bible that can be pressed into service for harm as well as good Good or bad, Christianity is in the eye of the adherent

"The job of political leaders is to lead us, not walk behind us, to bring out the best in us, rather than pander to the worst in us." There are few in our current Parliament who could do this and the ones that could are, unsurprisingly, not found in the ranks of the ALP. #auspol

I keep away from crowded situations, too, and mask indoors, have both vax when I can but still got covid - no clue how - last May. Now have LC, on the mild end, but still enough to impact on other health aspects. Wishing you continued freedom from them!

Wear a mask, too. Vaccination doesn't do much to prevent infection (but people should get it to reduce severity of infection). I know, nobody will wear a mask ...sigh...

Advancing religion is a head of charity in the Charities Act which provides all sorts of benefits, including commercial ones. Then there's the Basic Religious Charity category. It's way past time far stricter conditions were applied

I think showing the PM gave into said lobbying is usefully illustrative. That is, there's a causal relationship between lobbying & the PM's actions, showing us who he's really working for. I think it puts the PM squarely on the hook.

He heads a corrupt organisation that continues to shield pedophiles, withholds compensation & documents to aid recompense, and would remove reproductive autonomy from women. Let's not get excited because he says something anyone with basic human decency would say. What an indescribably low bar.

Albanese & the ALP are straight-up liars. The ALP candidate in my electorate & Plibersek herself ran a video blaming the Greens for no EPA. It was gobsmacking. Greens got the last laugh though, holding the seat. www.facebook.com/reel/4057119...

I also had all the available shots, masked indoors, only ate outdoors at non-crowded places & still somehow got it last May. Acute infection was mild, barely a blip, but a year later & I'm still dealing with the persistent after-effects. Only LC "risk" factor I had is being female

I went further on the global Islamophobia context in the revised version of the piece on Zionist activity by front groups in the recent Australian election. The network of networks is illustrative. It’s not just Atlas in any of this rw weirdness but a collation. open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

Front Groups working with Zionist actors are promoting Islamophobia
Australian front groups have been working to promote the idea that the Greens make many cultural identities less safe. It's - loosely - part of a global Islamophobia industry.

This is good, but falls way short of what was sought. Christian lobby group is happy (this is from an email from Freedom 4 Faith)

No, my point is the interpretation of scripture that paints Jesus as everything nice is just one possible interpretation so using that as an unassailable yardstick presents a false narrative which is unhelpful.

So much wrong with this. Why do so many people think faith "done right" naturally equates to good/moral/humane? Do you know any history at all? Do you know how many versions of faith, on a broad spectrum, there are? And atheism is just a lack of religious belief; it says nothing about values.🤦🏻
