"Fast-growing country apparel brand Ringers Western is doubling down on its sponsorship of Karl Stefanovic, saying its support of the broadcaster’s podcast aligns with its values and will help grow the label’s profile across Australia."

Meet the rich country family backing Karl Stefanovic

The Salerno family, who own Ringers Western, likens their support of the broadcaster to jumping onto the back of an attacking crocodile to save a family member.

“Protect users from discrimination and harassment” is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting for a code that is explicitly designed to target, harass, and enable discrimination against trans people, who should be protected by the Equality Act 2010

Equality and Human Rights Commission@equalityhumanright.bsky.social · 13h ago

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

It's difficult for words to convey just how disappointing this NSW Govt decision really is. Apparently, some kinds of hate deserve criminal punishment, while others don't. And the main difference seems to be whether faith groups are doing the hating. #nswpol #auslaw www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...

NSW government rejects own inquiry’s hate speech findings after months of delay

The Minns government will ignore the key recommendation of its own inquiry into hate speech laws.

It’s been well over a century since anyone in Australia was prosecuted for the old crime of blasphemy, although technically it is still a common law offence in NSW law. www.crikey.com.au/2026/07/27/s...

An arts space in Sydney was axed due to an archaic 1848 law. But what does 'offensive trade' really mean?

The new CEO of Bluesky wants to change Bluesky from being a leftist bubble. The thing is, there’s nothing wrong with being a leftist bubble: the idea that everything has to be all-encompassing and suitable for everyone is a trap. 🧵 1/4

Reading articles about the Alan Jones court case and thinking how many dirty acts he’s committed against boys over the years without it ever being reported. Bet what’s coming out now is just the tip of the iceberg.
