@rush it does seem incredible, but half of the states in the US still have no minimum age for marriage in 2022.

@pippa I think we have to acknowledge that this has always been a part of Australian society. Racial violence against indigenous people, including children, is not new or an imported issue.

@chrissyinthemiddle if one of Kanye's children takes over the Yeezy label then yes, they will absolutely have to answer that question. If you want to take over the legacy of an outspoken racist then you will need to clarify whether you are also racist.

Is not showing up to 90% of classes really respecting your teacher though?

@mystal84 which is fine, as long as the risks are accurately presented to them and theres a real chance of success.

@therage there are many, many excellent surgeons who are not "paying this price" though.

I was glad to see Albo talking about it on the news today & calling it out as a racist attack. A few weeks later than it should have been headline news though.

@ejay also extremely valid reasons not to get married. 

cat October 26, 2022

@ejay probably cause marriage was created a way to trade and control women and to discriminate against LGBTQI people. 


If you don't have to justify why something is important, why should he have to justify why it isn't? Doesnt respect go both ways?

@george the issue is that many families and his colleagues do not feel that the risks and benefits were discussed with them or accurately represented.

@mb1111 what a ridiculous, bad-faith comment.

@Paul S can you fix this issue for me as well so snorks can no longer harrass me? He's been doing it for years now.

I thought we left milennial pink and rose gold in 2010.

They all need to be charged! It was a racially motivated group attack and even if they didn't hit him they didn't stop the attack. This is so horrifying and the lack of media attention even more so.

@mamamia-user-482898552 so if someone asked you if you supported genocide- which is a question multiple people have now asked her- you would say "no comment"?

@gypsy we are responsible and many of us are very busy.

Ive never understood why people don't like her, Ive gone most of my life without thinking about her at all. When I have seen her do interviews etc she seems entirely unproblematic, and theres no such thing as a non-cheesy acceptance speech.

@mamamia-user-482898552 when people are leaving abusive comments online its hard to see it as anything except hate. Im sure it feels like hate to those on the other side of it.

@tlc you know that those actions are legal requirements of mining contracts, right? Hardly something she does from the goodness of her heart. 


If she really wants to contribute to Indigenous people's lives she could stop destroying their land and publicly disown the racist who she inherited them from. Just for a start.

@twodogs yes, stolen, the WA government / the Crown stole them from Indigenous Australians. Theres literally no other way to describe how they came into "possession" of them.
