I reckon it amounts to being fired!

Is anyone aware of a crowdfund for this woman? Pay her fine AND MORE?

I might give zero fucks about my looks being exposed for all to see. But I’d be hell angry with the perpetrator.

If Dani Mather gets hauled before the courts, how much leeway would a sentencing judge have to impose an appropriate sentence? Like, perhaps, doing volunteer work as a nurse’s aide in an old people’s home for a year?

I am 100 per cent pro science and pro vaccination. And it worries me that people are putting children at risk - others’ children as well as their own. But surely there should be open discussions and the absolute cr*pola put about that there is a link between vaccination and autism can be debunked via debate. Surely.

Late update! This guy has just had his visa cancelled and been deported from Australia for trying to run a series of pro-rape “date coaching” seminars around Australia. I gather he won’t be getting to New Zealand either!

Australia denied Mayweather a visa on the basis of his history of domestic abuse. The evidence was incontrovertible. I’m sure I’ve heard it discussed on Australia’s national broadcaster than he spent 60 days in jail for a violent crime against a woman. He had a shonky PR agent pushing extremely hard to get his visa…

"Now a trendy tourist locale thanks to Eat Pray Love" - Bali has been a tourism mecca for at least 40 years! Something like a quarter of Australians have travelled there!

Not the same at all - but both animal activism and human rights activism sit somewhere along the same continuum. It's even been shown that people who are cruel to animals are more likely to be cruel to other humans.

Yeah well people mocked activists who were agitating against slavery once upon a time. Good on her.

I was hit just twice during my childhood - smacked hard on the back of my thigh once and also (my mother has never forgiven herself) smacked on the side of my head and I saw stars - and each time is so etched hard in my mind that I hate to think what serial beatings do to children.

29. Starbucks coffee of any description

If they were guys, though, they'd be enjoying this pube-licity. And they wouldn't be being shamed by everyone. I say, no shame, no stupidity here, just a mistake. I hope the girls can rise above the mocking.

Fucking supposedly sensible and feminist Mamamia website in Australia NAMED the child, who was brought up in Sydney. Yep, first name and surname. And they named where she had gone to school. And her dad's profession and name. They only took the name down after pressure from readers. They are such clickbaiters -…

Uh oh - I can picture jealous or "cuckolded" men hacking their partners' microbes ... or pranking.

I am old enough that we used to get dressed up to MEET rellos at the airport - let alone fly!

There was an incredibly lucky escape for a woman in Australia about 12 years ago - police were monitoring a particular phone box for drug deals, and happened to listen into her husband and mistress discussing an active plan to murder her in the next couple of days. Police took her to safety straight away. Husband and…

Try this secret on for size! I am acquainted with a family from conservative - and racist - regional Australia. Their mother is from a large farm, and she married a man who had been allocated an ex-soldier's allotment locally. They had been married for 25 years - 25 years! And had three children, before he told her…

I have a friend who had one really, really crap year at 23. She decided to forget that year, and thereafter pretended she was a year younger than she was, "repeating" her 23rd birthday. Her friends have all played along, and I think it was very therapeutic for her!

Thanks so much for this! This American Life is an absolute star on Australian public radio!
