Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
@sarahtlawrence9 Hi Sarah, I was moved by your piece on Cummeragunja. As great-grandson of Thomas Austin, who taught at the school in the early 1900s, it struck chord. We’re travelling from overseas soon to visit our family roots around Cohuna, Echuca. Thanks for your reporting.
Disgusting. This resurfaced clip of Trump on Letterman blaming the teenage victim Tyson raped is sickening. Men who blame women for rape, are vile. No excuses. No means NO. Victim-blaming enables predators. #TrumpIsGuilty

The most popular and least popular men in Australia in one screen shot. Well done Trav. #Ashes2025
You are on the wrong track there @AlboMP the guns don't kill people, radicalized and uncontrolled people do.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown @ZBrownCEO - a right knob.
Don't become a native @OscarPiastri - stay classy.

The Bondi Beach terror attack was horrific, 15 innocent lives taken at a Hanukkah celebration. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. Rushing to "stricter gun laws" misses the point entirely. The guns didn’t kill those people. 2 radicalised men with evil intent did
There are ~800,000 licensed owners and 3.5 million registered guns in Australia. The overwhelming majority are responsible hunters, farmers and sport shooters who’ve never hurt anyone. Punishing them for the actions of two extremists is unfair and ineffective.
Real prevention comes from leadership that tackles ideology, culture and early warning signs — not symbolic crackdowns on law-abiding citizens. Honor the victims by getting this right, not by repeating reactions that don’t address the actual threat. #Bondi #GunLaws #Terrorism
Need harder thinking:
Why did this happen? How do we stop it happening again? The root cause wasn’t gun access — it was radicalisation.
- Intelligence & monitoring
- Countering online extremist propaganda
- Stronger community integration
- Education for critical thinking
Pauline Hanson's burqa "protest" yesterday—storming parliament, refusing to remove it, getting the place shut down and herself suspended till 2026—has me pretending I'm Kiwi. Racist relic embarrassing us all. Make it end. #HansonSuspended #auspol
