Yep that’s what they said about John Hewson in 1993 - “the unlosable election” for the Liberal Party.

Well the steam is gathering about how risky it is for detractors of Trump to travel to the U.S. My wife: “Trump won’t want you there given how vocal you are about him.” Me: “I’ll be right” Wife: “you’re fucked” 😑

When your political popularity is tanking, you do these things: 1. Talk about crime 2. Elicit the sympathy vote 3. Start a war 🤷‍♀️

Cindy Gallop posted this on LinkedIn. Am I justified in being leery of traveling to the USA this year given the work I do, and my stance on Trumpty Dumptys politics? Or is this Jenny penny territory? www.linkedin.com/posts/cindyg...

Watching Tanya Pliberseck on ABC this morning - wishing that bloody factional deals hadn’t kept her out of the leadership of the parliamentary ALP. She is so impressive. #auspol

Rambling? Very kind. “An unhinged stream of consciousness from a vastly under qualified, very unpleasant mediocre white man” is far more accurate.

Hey, are we ever gonna have sprawling coverage about this president's mental state too? Or was that just reserved for the guy who wasn't breaking the economy?

Crumbs! Episode 3 of an SBS doco shines a light on “mother’s little helper” being routinely prescribed to women in the 1970s. Chemical restraints to keep women in line. Gahhhh thanks #patriarchy (not) Australia: An Unofficial History www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-...

I wrote to my federal member, Adam Bandt, on 3rd March asking about his commitment to #GenderEquality & #WomensRights on 3/3/25. Am yet to receive a response. He’s too busy making TikToks. 🙄 Really hoping for a viable alternate candidate to vote for in the seat of Melbourne. ☹️ #auspol

It’s quite telling that James Patterson the LNP “Campaign Spokesperson” is doing all the media engagements for the opposition. Just shows that even the LNP know how unappealing Dutton is. #auspol

“The Coalition has failed to increase its proportion of female candidates for the House of Representatives ahead of the federal election due by May, despite a party review blaming men’s dominance of the Liberal and National parties for contributing to the Morrison government’s 2022 loss.” #auspol

4. These same largely homogeneous group who, by the way, may not have to worry about managing the juggle that is life, the cost of commuting and caring, the challenges of navigating an ableist world, and living in locations with low levels of local employment.

3. This headline is a blatant misuse of language and I can only assume is designed to fuel an anti flexible working rhetoric by a group of people who have enormous power and privilege.

Why Gender Equality Needs More Male Accomplices (not more male allies)
If you’re a man who believes in fairness, justice, and a better world for all humans, this is your call to action. Step up, speak out, and be an accomplice.

4. This mediocre, middle aged, straight, cis-gender, able-bodied white mans behaviour, including his sulky non-apology (sorry you felt bad)is the latest in a long line of shitty behaviour by men. We’re absolutely fucking fed up with it. BTW: someone at TripleM has ovaries. He’s been sacked.

3. When a woman has what appears to be a disproportionate reaction to the situation at hand, understand that THIS issue, right now, is probably the latest in a long line of shitty demeaning “it was only a joke” type issues that she’s been putting up with since she was a young person.

2. The truth is, women’s reactions are proportionate to the issue. However, let’s play a little game. Let’s imagine women were overreacting shall we? Well here’s another truth bomb.

Michelle Redfern @michelleredfern.bsky.social · 26/02/2025
On the Triple M Australia Issue: 🧵 1. Women are fed up to the back teeth because we’ve put up with the shitty behaviour exhibited by the Triple M presenter & worse their entire life. But here’s the thing, we women will cop shit from men for being “over the top” in our reactions.
