25.01.2022 Overwhelming support for Rudd petition against Murdoch media by Zia Ahmad Within a week, hundreds of thousands of Australians have signed the petition initiated by former Australian PM, Kevin Rudd on Saturday 10 October 2020, calling for a royal commission into Murdoch media empire, naming News Corp a cancer on democracy and a protection racket for the Coalition holding almost 70 percent of print readership across Australia.... https://www.amust.com.au//overwhelming-support-for-rudd-p/

24.01.2022 Kevin Rudd: After a full day’s Senate hearings where the Murdoch media denied they were a monopoly, what do his tabloids deliver today in 8 different cities? The same cookie-cutter article published in 8 different papers! They really take us for fools. #MurdochRoyalCommission

21.01.2022 People think wheelchair accessible just means no stairs, but there is so much more than that -The bathroom needs to be large enough for a wheelchair to comf...ortably turn around in, and there needs to be a grab bar for non-ambulatory wheelchair users to transfer from the wheelchair to the toilet. The sink and mirror need to be low enough to reach/see from seated position -Kitchen counters also need to be low enough to reach from seated position -Hallways and doorways need to be wide enough (minimum 25-30) -No lips in doorways -Minimal doors with knobs. Instead, open doorways or automatically-opening doors -Tables must be the right height to roll under and without any cross bars underneath that would block a wheelchair user’s knees -There must be enough open space for a wheelchair user to roll and turn around. Bear in mind that like a car, a wheelchair cannot spin around in place and must turn around either in an arch shape or do a 3-point turn. So there must be enough free space, clear of furniture or other objects to make this arch shape -The floor in general needs to be clear of objects as a wheelchair user cannot simply step over obstacles -No steep hills or inclines If you are inviting a wheelchair user to hang out with you in your stair-free apartment or stair-free public venue, but it does not meet this other criteria, do not say it’s wheelchair accessible because it is not. Say it is stair free and then specifically describe which aspects of it are inaccessible. Not every single wheelchair user needs every single one of these things, but we do need to know what to expect, to then be able to determine if we can or want to go to a place Want to go the extra mile to make our lives easier? If you want to invite a wheelchair user to a new public location, call and ask about the bathrooms, the width of hallways and aisles, the doors etc. Remember that we have to call and ask these questions *every day*, every single time we go to a new place. It is exhausting. It is very helpful to be able to take one day off

20.01.2022 I have many young clients that have been deeply hurt because of heartbreak. They complain to me that they have been used & abused, strung along emotionally/p...hysically, especially during the getting to know one another stage. The reality is some people don’t love you, they don’t even care about you, they just want to stay connected to you. They love the benefits... so they do the minimal, a little phone call, here and there: Just checking/ thinking about you! I miss you I love you I need you Can’t wait to marry you (but showing no signs of commitment/seriousness) (asking to keep the *relationship* secret not to get parents involved etc..) What they are really doing is maintaining a connection, so when they *need* you (emotionally, physically, financially) .. they still have a way in. These individuals are players. Period!

17.01.2022 WE DID IT! Jacqui Lambie's rejection of the mobile phones ban bill means that the government does not have the votes to pass this terrible bill. This would no...t have been possible without all of you standing up for justice and compassion. Of course, the struggle is not over. What the Government should be working on is a plan for safety and freedom for refugees so that they can have a place to call home in the community, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives. We will keep fighting with you until that day comes. In the meantime, please visit Senator Jacqui Lambie's page and leave a supportive comment about her rejection of this bill. It's important to thank politicians when they make the right call.

15.01.2022 Will You Marry My Daughter? She taught Ella and Billie Holliday how to sing. She made Miles Davis cool and taught Duke how to swing. She gave Malcolm his X and... made Martin a king. Without her Michael Jordan wouldn’t have six rings! Will you marry my daughter? She gave Nat Turner his fire and gave birth to Denmark Vesey. She taught her children how to survive in the aftermath of Plessy. She put the soul in James Brown and taught every rhyme to Jesse. Without her we wouldn’t know how to enjoy a blessing. Will you marry my daughter? She has raised Senators and nursed Presidents. From her Josephine Baker inherited her elegance. With some folk’s lunch money she can buy groceries and pay the rent. She’s never been broken although she’s been bent. Will you marry my daughter? She gave real meaning to, In God we trust. She’s the one who wouldn’t give up her seat on the bus. She went to church every Sunday and would never cuss. She picked up the pieces and held the family together after every bust. Will you marry my daughter? She taught Angela Davis how to sport that ‘Fro. She gave the ability to run that ball to Bo. She taught Tupac how to spit and taught Biggie how to flo. Without her we would have never survived Jim Crow. Will you marry my daughter? She brought every brother in this joint into this life. She equipped her children to survive America’s hardship and strife. She herself survived the rapes sometimes at the point of the knife, ...and now she’s not good enough to be your wife? Will you marry my daughter? Imam Zaid Shakir

11.01.2022 In 2016 I had no job and and as a family we had about a year of savings to pay for all the necessities(kids school, rent, food and cars). I wanted to be in medi...a so I wrote script after script, show after show, and pitched the ideas anywhere I could get a meeting but nothing worked out. I was scared and worried about the future but never shared it with Salama as I didn’t want her, or the kids, to get worried or carry that burden. One day as were were driving I finally gave in and told Salama how I was feeling, we talked about my worries, my fears and how things weren’t working out, and that I was starting to lose hope. As we were in the mall picking up some things we passed by an electronic store, then we walked in and Salama bought me my first camera. She said that she knew that all I wanted in this world was to be a creator and tell stories, so she gave me the camera and told me to get to work and do it on my own, but more importantly she said that she would support me no matter what and always believed in me. Four years later I am creating videos as a career, working on projects I never dreamed of, all because this incredible woman believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself, so here she is buying me a new camera to improve our work, it’s kind of like our thing, where she is the only one who buys me cameras and invests in our future. Moral of the story you don’t have to fight your battles alone, you don’t have to struggle alone, the people who love you are your greatest source of strength, always keep them close and anything is possible inshAllah. I love you Salama, you are the reason for everything good in my life

08.01.2022 Aseel tayah is a Palestinian artist, creative director and cultural leader who uses her practice to advocate for artists of colour, mothers, children ...and young people - in particular, those from refugee backgrounds. She has recently been described as an unstoppable force in the Australian cultural landscape. Through the power of storytelling her practice creates awareness and facilitates connection by humanising the experiences of those who have been displaced. As such, her work is embedded in community and is often highly responsive to current issues. For example, my most recent project, Bukjehs of Joy involved the funding, production and distribution of 1500 art & craft kits to children affected by the tower lockdowns in Melbourne, which she achieved within a 10-day timeframe. During Refugee Week 2020, she curated, produced and presented a series of live online discussion panels featuring national and international artists and cultural leaders. The series attracted more than 40,000 views and led to an invitation to participate in the inaugural TEDx Melbourne PluggedIn event where she is proud to have been awarded Best Speaker. As a creative director and installation artist, she has a wide range of experience. International highlights include We Too Want To Play, the establishment of Palestine’s first network of toy libraries and Fingerprint of an Arab Girl, an annual event showcasing the talents and achievements of girls living under occupation. In Australia, collaborations include unique intercultural experiences such as Lullabies Under the Stars, an Arabic/First Nations work for children, and the participatory installation Bukjeh, exploring stories of home and being forced to leave it. As a cultural leader, she has developed ongoing relationships with various organisations including Multicultural Arts Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne, Polyglot, Arts House, Arts Front, VMC, NGV, Federation Square, ASRC, RISE Refugee and numerous local councils and settlement organisations. Currently, although in lockdown, she is facilitating a variety of projects including: Bukjehs of Hope, a collaboration with 15 artists to produce a video for families in Beirut; an illustrated children’s book series called Stories from Home; an online Palestinian cooking class as well as volunteering with settlement services to support mothers who have recently arrived in Australia. Aseel exemplifies the use of creative arts for social justice, and is well-known for her kindness, optimism and generosity. She also uses her wonderful singing voice to bring joy and nostalgia to our hearts. She is truly a treasure!
