“People who would never have the courage to say that to your face feel emboldened to say something very unpleasant online.”
Cabinet Secretary and Federal Member for Parramatta, Dr Andrew Charlton speaks candidly to Pallavi Jain about the growing hostility on social media, including the increasingly nasty commentary appearing on his own Facebook posts.
Acknowledging that it comes from a small proportion of people, he says Australia remains a harmonious and socially cohesive country, but stresses that protecting that social cohesion is a shared responsibility.

SHOCKING VISUALS OF MSF AND MUSLIM YOUTH LEAGUE ACTIVISTS BRUTALLY ATTACKING SFI LEADERS.
The attack took place at DMS Hospital, Chelari, while the SFI leaders were visiting students injured in the earlier attacks by UDSF activists.
What makes this even more shocking is that the assault was carried out inside the hospital casualty ward, creating an atmosphere of terror in front of patients and doctors. They carried out the attack with the arrogance that comes from being in power.
The seriously injured SFI leaders, State Joint Secretary N. Aadil and Malappuram District President M. Sujin, were admitted to Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode.

In communication, deliberate misspelling is a strategy to gain attention.
It’s called Typo Marketing.
Thank you for amplifying @RahulGandhi ji’s tweet on Tata by desperately pointing out Sitaraman misspelt.
Hahhahaha!
