    If I understand today correctly, 's 1st law officer who, in a previous ministerial role, made some of Australia's least legally capable people prove a negative to false accusations from Centrelink's Robodebt scandal, railed against personally facing just such a scenario.

    Tears at the National Press Club today, very understandably, after Australian of the Year Grace Tame's powerful address about sexual assault and the pernicious nature of grooming.

    Does anyone else find the attempted anthropomorphism of robots deeply unsettling? Why don't they get a few car welding bots doing Muppets routines? Funny how the company freaks when an arts group puts a paint gun on Spot, but this elaborately crafted spin is just so cuuuuuuute!

    Thinking about the anger of women. I wrote this in rage and sorrow six years ago when my anger at what was happening to young women made me realise what had happened to me. CW: it’s called “Trigger Warning” for a reason.

    I think that’s right. I had this exact conversation with a group of 50-something year old women today.

    Most women who survived the 80s have a story about sexual abuse. Most of us didn’t report it. It just wasn’t ‘done.’ But all that pain & anger builds up over 40 or 50 years & should realise we stand with and against the & we vote.
