🚨 Important Notice🚨
A national test of AusAlert will occur at 2pm AEST on 27 July 2026.

Tips for Planning for AusAlert Testing:

If it is not safe to receive AusAlerts on your devices, keep them turned off or in aeroplane mode until you need them.

Important: you can still receive Critical AusAlerts if your phone is on ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’.

In order to stop the Critical Alert siren sounding on a device, you will need to turn your phone off or on aeroplane mode:

one hour before the test: turn off your mobile device or put it in aeroplane mode
during and after the test: keep your device off or in aeroplane mode for 24 hours (if you do need to turn your phone on during this window for an emergency be prepared that the siren may sound).

Just finished reading The Bonobo Sisterhood, a book about women banding together to protect each other from gendered violence. The first part is depressing because it is examples of how the system is rigged against women. Next is ideas to change the system and things women can do to protect each other.

Five years after March 4 Justice, women are still being killed

Five years after tens of thousands of women marched across Australia demanding action on gendered violence, the country has changed its language and policies. But the most brutal statistic – women killed by current or former partners – has not declined.

'Difficult' women

"Grace Tame reacts to PM's comment labelling her 'difficult'."

Tame: "'Difficult' is the misogynist's code for a woman who won't comply. History tends to call her 'courageous'.''

Constant inaction when the wins would be so easy and stack. There's no excuses, Labor just dont care about this epidemic.

"Alcohol is involved in around 65% of all family violence reported to police, and family violence occurs more often in suburbs with a high concentration of poker machines."

Enough talk: 8 women killed in 2026 and still no urgency

Don't just talk. Commit the funding and show political will to do what it takes to end violence against women, writes Larissa Waters.

Queensland police scrap specialist unit providing support for domestic and family violence cases

Change comes after 100-day review that found domestic violence case management was not ‘core’ police business

The Queensland police service plans to disband a specialist unit that provided statewide support for domestic and family violence cases, prompting concern from frontline workers that the loss of an “important resource” would place women at greater risk.

“Dirty bitches.” “Fucking bitch.”
Different countries. Same reflex.
When women resist institutional enforcement, degradation follows—and power protects it.

Horizon Accord | Institutional Misogyny | Gendered Violence | Power and Language | Machine Learning

From France’s First Lady to an ICE shooting in Minneapolis, the same slur surfaces when women resist institutional enforcement. The repetition reveals a structure, not a coincidence.
