More girls have been killed in the last FIFTY years, precisely because they were girls, than men were killed in ALL the battles of the 20th century.
More girls are killed in this routine gendercide in any ONE decade, than people were slaughtered in ALL the genocides of the 20th century.
It was raining heavily in Canberra on Wednesday so, after question time, Julia Gillard walked the corridors back to her office rather than cut across a courtyard as she usually does.
As she strolled past opposition MPs’ offices, Christopher Pyne and Joe Hockey, like two schoolyard ne’er-do-wells, trailed about 10 paces behind, heckling. Hockey was bellowing the Engelbert Humperdinck lyrics: “Please release me, let me go, ‘cause I don’t love you any more …” Pyne, doing his best to affect a menacing gravitas, was taunting repeatedly: “You’re drowning Julia, not waving, you’re drowning.”
By any measure, it was disrespectful behaviour towards a prime minister but Gillard, whose government has plumbed record depths in unpopularity, is getting used to such treatment and ignored her tormenters.
Introducing, the future cabinet ministers of this country
These fucking vile, despicable, immature twats are going to be in charge of this country

the Tasmanian Upper House: Pass the Women's Reproductive Health Bill
This bill is an important move to uphold the rights of women in Tasmania to make decisions regarding their reproduction and to access safe, legal and affordable terminations within the State.
Termination should be a medical, not a criminal decision. No woman facing such choices should be subject to fear as to the criminality of their decision, to public stigma, or to unnecessary financial or social hardship as a result of their choice.
Current legislation covering abortion in Tasmania is outdated, cumbersome, confusing and dangerous both for women and medical practitioners.

(trigger warning: rape) A woman dials 9-1-1, the cop who comes rapes her
There’s just a dead place inside of me now where I used to feel shock.
This happened in Milwaukee, which has one of the most corrupt and brutal police forces in the country. I’m honestly not surprised that such a horrible thing even happened.
I would like to say, he has now been sentenced to 24 years prison.
Either way this makes me sick.
