Ah that's fair enough, Australian English is a strange blend sometimes.
It seems Pauline doesn't care much about domestic violence, but you're here proposing international violence!
This post in the /c/australia community is about an Australian politician.
There was an opinion article I glanced at which talks about this, Hanson is in touch with some, such as "Men's Rights Activists" (a manosphere phenomenon, not to be confused with gender liberationists who fight for the rights of men)
Which then reminds me of that fire drill in school where a teacher left the stove on, leading to an actual fire alarm (no damage)
Oh, right, safe phones for situations such as domestic abuse. I wasn't sure what they meant, and in the confusion I started wondering about whether the alert would trigger those phone-detonated bombs you see in spy films.
Facebook is literally full of people inciting others to break laws breaking laws and Facebook refuses to remove anything. Even violent incitement I’m seeing
Yes, stochastic terrorism is a real tactic for violence, and Facebook is one of the social media platforms enabling it.
For what it's worth, I managed to get rid of FB around 5-10 years ago (apart from recently creating a false identity sockpuppet recently due to That One Messenger Group you just can't move off the site!) and it's a small but sure weight off shoulders.

The fact he was white and they were black is only relevant because [their target audience] is expected to relate to the boy’s fear of black people.
Yes, it's used as a bait-and-switch.
The headline is probably obvious to most people here, but the article does go into some interesting detail, including small interactive guides to help people spot them.
I also recommend this far more interactive article about pokies (slot machines): https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/datablog/ng-interactive/2017/sep/28/hooked-how-pokies-are-designed-to-be-addictive

they fucked around and blocked affordable housing
And seeing the recent reports that affordable housing isn't affordable, I think they're right to demand public housing.
The analysis of about two months of affordable rental listings in New South Wales and Victoria found some properties on offer were actually being advertised above median market rates.
Our investigation also found cases of people being locked out of "affordable" rentals, seemingly because they did not earn enough.
