[newspaper clipping] Corporate America embraces a new era of conservatism under Donald Trump. Bankers and financiers say that Trump’s victory has empowered those who felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people. “I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say [r-slur] and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.”

The nation has today kicked off a big environmental day in style!
With the International Day of Forests rolling around, Australia has looked to celebrate the occasion in trademark fashion.

Pemulwuy will be recognised as nation’s first domestic terrorist under proposed Coalition changes to national curriculum
The federal opposition has today unveiled a bold suite of education reforms aimed at strengthening Australia’s national identity and cultural unity, including a proposed reclassification of Bidjigal warrior Pemulwuy as the country’s first domestic terrorist.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says the changes will help ensure young Australians learn the “full story” of colonisation, particularly the parts that reframe organised Aboriginal resistance as a threat to law and order.
“Pemulwuy led violent raids, destroyed crops, and disrupted peaceful British settlement,” said Dutton.
“In today’s terms, that makes him a terrorist.”

Guy who said the Voice referendum ‘just caused division’, calls for referendum to allow ministers to deport citizens
'We must ignore the rule of law' says the self-declared 'rule of law' party
Leader of the nation’s racist uncles, Peter Dutton has taken a break from claiming that calls to listen to First Nations voices is a bid to cause division within the nation, to instead demand a national debate on giving ministers the power to deport dual-citizens.
The man whose party screamed about ‘upholding the rule of law’ now wants to completely bypass the rule of law, so that he can shift his fear-mongering messages from ‘send them to prison’ to ‘send them out of the country’.
“This referendum will be different,” said Dutton, “the last one wanted to give Indigenous leaders the unchecked dangerous power of giving advice on issues impacting their community, whereas this would give ministers the small power to just completely ignore court rulings and deport citizens on a whim.”
