A quick note on people asking me to speak at conferences. If you're trying to make your event sound appealing by telling me the names of the other people you have already booked, then don't be surprised if when it turns out they're all white men I decline.

Find someone who loves you as much as Australian media loves corrupt Liberal politicians.

Could you imagine if it was the UK instead of India we were talking about, think Dutton would be threatening 5 years jail, hell no. These are policies you can only get away with when they are targeted at people of colour. Just an extension of our racist paranoia as a nation.

There's a story in Murdoch's papers today, sustaining their character assassination campaign, this time through my brother. I’ve never responded in the past. Just to say, all families are complicated. And we still love him. Murdoch's Kenny should be ashamed for stooping so low.

That cry-wank of Morrison’s asking women to “stand with him” when his idea of standing with women & girls includes refusing to: - investigate rapes, - action sexual harassment reccs, - fix Aged Care, - fix childcare, & - properly fund DV, among much else is sooo fucking fucked.

"I need women to stand with me" says Scott, one week after 10,000 women stood literally outside his office while he ignored them and later told them to be grateful he didn't have them shot.

Either Porter is too mentally sick to work for a fortnight, or he should be at work. If he’s too mentally sick to work, he isn’t well enough to start a defamation campaign against the public broadcaster. If he’s not sick, he should be taking leave without pay.

Thanks to all at #March4Justice today for raising your voices against misogyny & violence against women. I honour your passion for action & courage of those who have spoken out. I hope today’s decision makers hear #enoughisenough & it’s time for lasting change & real justice.

Talk about not reading the room. Govt just gagged @AlboMP me and @JulieCollinsMP - stopping us from moving a motion calling for an inquiry into Porter allegations; explanation of handling of Brittany Higgins matter; action on Respect@Work & more prevention of gendered violence

All speeches from male politicians today were about how women should report sexual violence. Not one (that I’ve heard) was about how men should stop fucking raping. It’s twenty-fucking-twenty-one. Rape convictions are still women’s fault & responsibility. Let that sink in.

I don’t think men should be permitted to write or speak or moderate any discussions on rape/sexual assault unless: A. They’re a victim; B. They’ve been vetted by 10 expert women; & C. There are no women available who’d do as good or a better job. Pls QT with tag #LetWomenSpeak

To all people who say women shouldn’t get drunk, shouldn’t walk alone late at night, should dress like a nun if they don’t want to be raped. I was not drunk, I was at home on a Sunday morning when my attacker turned up at my door uninvited. I was 20. #RIPKate #EnoughIsEnough

Good morning to everyone who finds it deeply painful that when violence against women becomes unbearable, everyone asks women to organise protests & pushback. Men’s violence towards women is a MEN’S PROBLEM. Why the fuck aren’t men organising to send a message to other men?

There is no organised workplace in Australia where someone could remain working while under the cloud of serious rape allegations. Why are the morals and ethics within Parliament House different to every other workplace in the land? #RageAgainstRape

We normally love the work of satire sites and comedians but seriously, here’s the thing: not now, dipshits. If you’re a man or men making jokes about these latest rape allegations, just delete them and grow up. This isn’t fucking funny.

In my opinion: There has never been in Australia's history a more wilfully corrupt, more violently abusive, more self serving, group of violently depraved politicians. They should stand down and let a caretaker government establish a fully powered ICAC to salvage what can be.

If anyone’s running a Women’s Day event that’s: - inaccessible to working class women &/or mums due to cost &/or lack of childcare; - doesn’t represent Black, queer & disabled women; & - features white men as speakers &/or special guests; then it’s sparkling fucking bullshit.

When will people (men AND women) get the courage to walk out of an event where @ScottMorrisonMP is speaking, on the basis that he’s an enabler of violent crime & unfit to be listened to on any topic concerning women? What the fuck? #DontFundRape
