I am a Very Serious Young Stick Insect, Homosexualista About Town and Blaktavist, First People people DeColonialisting and Anti-Genocidificationing advocate who heads up the ABC's Race Division Division. I am also a Vegan, so I am morally superior to you. #Pinned.

In keeping with ABC policies, should this Death in Custody not be of a Proud First People person, we will no longer be reporting on it.

Sudden, unexpected cold is an expected outcome of Global Warming.

As you'd expect, Lorna Munro is a Preferred Proud First People person poet here at the ABC. (The ABC does not condone calls for violence against people - unless, of course, those people are nasty, filthy, stinking racists) You can listen to her here: abc.net.au/listen/program…
A university speaker has encouraged students to punch racists. Lorna Munro says the solution is to hit them “in the face or throat”. The Indigenous poet received no punishment for her comments. Listen to Ben’s take HERE. 🎧omny.fm/shows/ben-ford…🎧
Help needed. Next year, 2026, marks the 50th Anniversary of the Welcome to Country Ceremony. We at the ABC are looking for ways to celebrate this millennia-old ancient ceremony that has changed our nation so dramatically. Please make your suggestions below.
Represent, sistah!
A doctorate in feminism? Are they taking the Michael? What next? The Ayatollah of Iran issued a doctorate in gay rights?
OMG! The Japanese are so racist! Wait. Is that racist to say that? abc.net.au/news/2025-07-2…
Perhaps some trans and disabled characters might help.

Should the person who died in custody turn out to be a Proud First People person, we at the ABC will Kumanjayi Walker the hell out of this story every day for months. If you never hear of it again, assume it was just a Subsequent Person person.

Surely the sentence should be less for the second time you murder a person.

This is the same level of applause as he'd get were he on the ABC.
Comparing “trans people” to something that isn’t real makes a very different point to the one he thinks it does.
Could all ABC Race Division Division staff please assemble for an Emergency Meeting in the canteen.

This is simply not good enough. The British government houses their 'illegal fishers' in 5-Star hotels. Why can't we do the same? abc.net.au/news/2025-07-2…
Transphobia is so unfair to transwomen who just want to compete against natural-born women!

This is racism, pure and simple, and cannot be based on anything else.
What are your thoughts on this?
Details about her husband's motives aside, I don't think we can totally rule out racism.

I think we have to view this through the lens of the obvious racism he has faced.
