Please journos, please don’t quote the Centre for Independent Studies. It is not independent and its ‘studies’ are thinly disguised propaganda. It has a conservative agenda and its funding sources are opaque

‘In some cases parents are much worse behaved than the child’ (Niki). I can see many teachers nodding their heads to that one

Ah Niki is so right - ‘One person’s free speech is another person’s degree of harm’

Asking James what he thinks - painful …

Men like Matt are the problem. He is upset by schools teaching boys about respectful relationships. Why?

Now James is selling vapes to us as a solution. Jeez

Yes ! To Niki Savva’s idea about tobacco. Shut down all the cheap tobacconists and make them apply to open again. She’s right - you have to start somewhere

It is almost painful to follow James Patterson - he adds so many asides and detours in making a point

Yes the Liberals handed Secret Harbour to One Nation. So stupid

The overt misogyny and sexual harassment of female teachers - already alarmingly prevalent in Australia - will now exponentially increase because of Matt Canavan’s comments. He is an oaf with no idea of the harm he’s doing

Yay Niki Savva on Insiders ! Yes Labor is indeed facing a raft of problems

Oh no, waffling James Campbell is on Insiders . He cant seem to finish a thought succinctly - just wanders along

Matt Canavan is the latest manosphere ignoramus . He is loving the attention. But the damage he is doing to our teaching cohort is far reaching and long term. No wonder teachers are leaving the profession in droves

Terrible misogynistic decision. Victoria Football needs to clarify its discrimination practices - and apologise

Melbourne soccer club takes stand after girls' match moved to make way for boys

Thank dog Matt Canavan, with his 1950s view of the world, has no power over our school curriculum. We need to keep people like him well away from ever making decisions for us

Roby D’Ottavi’s piece in the @smh today gave me a laugh. (About being interviewed for a job in a bottle shop.) Love to see some more of his writing !

The Los Angeles public school system will vastly restrict the use of A.I. at all grade levels, district officials said on Wednesday at a board of education meeting. The move came shortly after New York City announced it would ban most A.I. through 8th grade.

Los Angeles District Bans Most A.I. for Students

New York City announced a similar plan. The Los Angeles moratorium appears to go further with strict limits even for older students.

We’ve been having the discussion about how to get more men to take up teaching for decades! It won’t happen until teacher salaries are significantly raised and there is much more support available for individual teachers

The Daily Telegraph is reporting Bowen spent ‘$6m on ritzy hotel accommodation’. In fact the money was spent on bookings for delegates for the COP31 UN climate summit to have preparatory meetings. Such sleazy twisted takes on the news. Don’t buy News Corpse papers people. It’s all rubbish

WTF is happening? We’re having a full on outbreak of misogyny in our government atm. Matt Canavan is now blaming female teachers for the spread of manosphere nastiness. Jeez people, we need to concentrate on electing intelligent, well informed pollies

“Sick and tired of the feminisation of teaching” says Matt Canavan. “We need more men teachers.” And that epitomises the manosphere attitude - blame teachers, especially females. No wonder young people don’t want to be teachers anymore

If this whole todo is over Wong getting an extra 1900 while acting on PM it’s ridiculous. I am guessing the figure given in the story is wrong. Either way, a whinge about Wong getting more to act as our PM verges on misogyny to me. Do better SMH

The unnoticed rule change that has Penny Wong earning the PM’s salary

A quiet change to parliamentary pay rules means the foreign minister will draw Australia’s highest political wage while filling in for Anthony Albanese.

Happy Wattle Day! Wattle Day is a day of celebration in Australia on the first day of September each year, which is the start of spring. This is the time when many Acacia species (commonly called wattles in Australia) are in flower.

Jeez - just searched and those glasses are available everywhere here. So much for any proposed ban

Listening to Tanya Plibersek makes me feel confident that we have intelligent sensible people in charge Thankfully!

The tech bros don’t give a shit if their products are harmful - especially if it’s harm to women. The outrage is just feeding the sale of the creep glasses

That is deeply disturbing - that strangulation during sex is seen as normal by young people. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg should be held personally responsible for the damage their platforms are doing to our children

Good for the US states taking on Meta and X on porn and violence on their platforms

It’s a very good thing - at least Labor is looking at how to reign in the manosphere and misogynistic content on social media
