And this my friends, is why we have so many women being killed. Disrespect for women is a key driver of violence against women. When men in power demean women it normalises this behaviour.
Proud to support @NStottDespoja as Australia’s candidate for re-election to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. Natasha is a reformer, she is a champion of women’s human rights, and has proven herself as a collaborative & effective CEDAW member.
Rallies calling for an end to male violence against women are happening nationally in Australia this weekend. Show your support and that you’ve had enough and want real action now 👇🏼
One of the greatest &most complicated obstacles for victims of ‘known-to-her’ male violence is burden of proof. Violent men know they are violent. They protect their image above all else, inc in law. They don’t leave evidence of threats or harm. They know her word is ignored.
I love how the word 'atone' wears its heart on its sleeve. It began as 'at one', because to atone is to bring back unity. Atonement is really 'at-one-ment'. In the same way, 'alone' began as 'all one'.
Great article by Norman Baker on King Charles' shameless royal Honours for the royal family: 'This latest set of nepotistic awards makes the royal family look ridiculous, arrogant & breezily self-serving .. totally out of touch with modern Britain' #auspol theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
"Why was the accused given the benefit of the doubt, and why were the accused's rights elevated above the victim's rights to safety?" Angela Lynch said. abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2…
Anzac Day. Actually, this was Churchill’s day of Shame when our men were slaughtered For no reason, other than incompetence
Always like this Clive James line. Applies to Oz: ‘Sydney has never been a suitable place for sustained solemnity. I can remember how in my childhood the local population would manage to stay solemn for the first half of Anzac Day, and then the joy of life once again took over.’
Here is a somber truth of creative life. If it goes well at first people will begin to ask you for things. Each of those requests, no matter how kind or genuine or even beneficial to your own career and finance as well as someone else's, will pull you from your true purpose.
Congrats to this absolute legend Kate Grenville who is on @WomensPrize shortlist with her brilliant book The Restless Dolly Maunder (she doesn’t mind a spot of crime fiction either!) @text_publishing

The grace & dignity in this will go down in history. The words are wise & generous, and make me think Brittany’s book, if it ever appears, will be incredibly powerful. Go well @BrittHiggins_ . I hope you’re given clear space to now heal. I wish you release into a free new life

Just had a woman I have never met go “hello my friend” to me and start walking with me when a dude was talking to her Nice to know that even when I’m drunk enough that I am not walking straight, I still give off the same vibe
Justice Michael Lee has clarified “consent” in Lehrmann vs Ten/Wilkinson judgment (appeal pending) says Michael Pelly @FinancialReview. This may be courageous Brittany Higgins’ enduring legacy for all women in Australia.
This week in #BondiJunction has had so many small moments of care and empathy. Of strangers checking in either strangers. In the shops, at the memorial, on the bus. So many small anonymous acts of kindness and care. Look at this lovely creation and gift.
The Liberal Party react to the judicial finding that one of its staffers raped Brittany Higgins by questioning her compensation settlement. The compensation payment was for the harm caused by rape.

@Kate_FitzGibbon @VickiWardMP @angelapippos @AmandaRishworth @safe_and_equal @FamilySafetyVic @DV_NSW @zalisteggall @NTVorg @MonashUni @MonashBusiness Thank you -wonderful piece - what stands out for me is the unrecognised pattern of coercive control by police , and the community , clever lawyers that switch victims into perpetrators , until they are killed. police and judiciary need to put emphasis on coercive control.
When my mum left my dad- "I knew if I stayed he'd kill me"- she moved to a small place with nominal rent. We've talked about how impossible this would be now, and what that might have meant. Housing justice can't be left out of discussions about DV - women need somewhere to go.

@camybobany @SallyRCbra @age_no_barrier @JaneCaro Violent men unable to deal with their inadequacies are transferring their unresolved pain to female partners with fatal results. These men need to learn to walk away if their relationship issues cannot be resolved.
