I wasn't expecting convicted spousal abuser & serial pest Avi Yemini (& his wedding photographer sidekick) to be out on the streets yesterday expressing their 'pro-Palestine' views & 'clashing' with VICPol, but stranger things have happened.
Smiling wedding photographer Rukshan Fernando and an angwy and open-mouthed Avi Yemini in a photograph captioned by the 'Hurrah for the Blackshirts' Daily Mail as follows: 'Pro-Palestine protesters were seen clashing with police in Melbourne on Wednesday, October 7'.

Shadow treasurer Tim Wilson says a Coalition government will seek to make savings by cutting back on NDIS, aged care and childcare, as he argues spending on the schemes is out of control.

"It had been known earlier to women." I love this understated line from the Online Etymology Dictionary, on the clitoris.
The anatomist Mateo Renaldo Colombo (1516-1559), professor at Padua, claimed
to have discovered it ('De re anatomica,"1559, p. 243). He called it amor Veneris, vel dulcedo "the love or sweetness of Venus." It had been known earlier to women.

“as Irish people we know all too well about genocide, forced famine, and violent occupation” - Aaron Rowe pulling out of Ed Sheeran The Loop tour🇵🇸Free Palestine🇵🇸
aaronrowe_
I have made the decision to withdraw as a support act for Ed Sheeran's 'The Loop' North American Tour.
I don't take the decision lightly. Ed has been a friend to me and has changed my life, I could never thank him enough for this.
But as Irish people we know all too well about genocide, forced famine and violent occupation.
I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and who highlight the savage murder of children.
I would lose all respect for myself to carry on as normal.
I need to be true to myself and my ancestors who resisted colonisation, and fought for a freedom that I enjoy today in Ireland.
