In the span of a few weeks, there were four stabbings across the UK, three of which were perpetrated by white people, two of which were investigated by counter-terror police, and one of which was carried out by a refugee. Guess which one made front-page news. www.ettemedia.com/we-hear-abou...
We hear about violence perpetrated by Muslims and refugees, but not the violence against them
Similar crimes. One explicitly linked to terrorism with intent to wipe out specific groups of people. Guess which one made front-page headlines.

Adelaide Cabaret Festival Review: Jordan Gray's Is That A Cock in Your Pocket or Are You Just Here to Kill Me? 5 stars. Glorious chaos that brings charmingly absurd humour out from incredibly dark source material. My full thoughts on the show are up on Glam Adelaide.

My latest article on trash talking - Pauline Hanson at the NPC @theshot.net.au "Pauline's moving into the second stage of her Sick & Tired Tour, riding the attention wave created by Satan’s greatest duo - commercial pollsters and the mainstream media." #auspol theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Fair to say this was written in anger, frustration and despair. The NDIS cuts, and the way they are being done, are cruel. They cannot be supported. www.deepcutnews.com/p/health-min...

A 25-year-old Kenyan woman died at work in Sydney more than two weeks ago. The case has been raised in Kenya's parliament, protesters marched in Canberra and Sydney, and police are investigating — yet Australian media hasn’t touched the story. Why? www.ettemedia.com/sheila-chebii/
Why is no one reporting on Sheila Chebii?
Kenyan student Sheila Chebii died while working at the Meriton Suites in Sydney's CBD. Despite rallies and international concern, Australian media hasn't touched the story.

Private schools are sending Australians broke! Literally! Private schools file more bankruptcy proceedings than banks, insurance companies and local governments...COMBINED. My post over on @thepointau.bsky.social liveblog. live.thepoint.com.au/2026/05/the-...
Note that property investors get grandfathered changes, but NDIS participants do not. So our Government is effectively saying property investors deserve the dignity of maintaining their current comfort levels, but people with disabilities do not.
The party whose votes will have no bearing on the progress of the Budget changes, who struggled into double figures in a recent byelection, whose only chance of gaining power is in coalition with racist nativists, will tonight deliver an economic plan. A moment of national insignificance.
Latest example of the documented result of what happens when supposed ‘centre left’ parties go to the right to try and appease conservatives rather than stand for something different - voters go even further rather than stick with the imitators

None of us live completely independently. We all rely on others to varying extents. But by demonising disabled people, the media frames needing support to live as the worst crime you could commit. We all deserve more support from the government to live well. /1

The Israel lobby and its stenographers in the media dislike context so last night at the Adelaide Town Hall I set the record straight on the #AWW26 debacle.Given the continuing misrepresentation and fact free reporting an edited version of the speech is now up on the Pearls & Irritations website.
The Adelaide Writers’ Week saga was about lobby groups, false equivalence and pressure on cultural institutions to bend to political demands, Louise Adler writes. #PearlsAndIrritations #auspol #ArtsIndependence #WritersFestivals #CulturalPolitics #FreeSpeech
Louise Adler sets the record straight on Adelaide Writers' Week
The Adelaide Writers’ Week (AWW) debacle might have served as a “life lesson” to politicians and lobbyists about the risks involved in interfering with the independence of arts organisations. But as we have seen at Newcastle and the Sydney Writers Festival some are apparently slow learners.
