A Victoria report on LGBTQ+ survivors of family violence details barriers to justice as the group engages with mainstream intervention order systems.

The report attributes heteronormativity as a barrier to justice where notions surrounding family violence are typically characterised through a male-offender and female-survivor lens.

Half of the LGBTQ+ victim-survivor report participants were identified as a perpetrator on intervention orders; an occurrence that enabled abusers to use the law against survivors.

Report participants also found that criminal justice actors including police and court systems lack cultural competency and training around the ethics of assisting LGBTQ+ survivors.

Implementation of community-controlled services is highlighted as a culturally safe response, that provides trauma-informed care for the LGBTQ+ community in comparison to mainstream services.

Australians are too busy, read distracted, with how the house collapsed; Why did it fall? Who did what?..All while Australia is a ship that is sinking fast under its own weight of :DEBT: and Excess printing of Funny Money to fund all manner of schemes that NEVER come to fruition; Just have a peek at how much money has exchanged hands for Submarines that we will NEVER own and actually have yet to reach the drawing board; Or how about the amount of money and ADF assets that have been sent to Ukraine in foreign aid while there are tens of thousands (if not more) of Australians who can not afford to keep food on the table, let alone a roof over their heads;

AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT, All STATES and TERRITORIES and all the Bureaucracies within them, are listed within US.inc as Corporate entities, REGIS-STERED with USSEC and are TRADED on the STOCK-EXCHANGE; American (Jew) Financial market says boo, Australia runs and hides hoping THEIR DEBT wont get called in;  AUSTRALIA is also listed on the US Securities and Exchange Commission as a Political Subdivision of the USA.

Heres a recent example of commentariat shilling for usurious fractional reserve banking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBOUPE4QZ6s

In the video Marc Faber says the economic system needs painInterest rates are still negative in real terms banks havent increased rates enough to curtail inflation But of course the poor people suffer Nobody can avoid a recession in the long term. Recessions come and go and are necessary.

That is misleading propaganda. Recessions are not necessary. Rather, hiking interest rates ENOUGH to reduce inflation is what causes suffering. It does that by reducing the money supply by levying unconscionable interest rates on borrowers which fraudulently syphons wealth from the general population into the pockets of private corporation bank shareholders. Eventually the process causes such hardship that the money supply shrinks as populations cannot afford to borrow more currency into circulation. That causes recessions and depressions that are exacerbated by governments (who are in cahoots with the banks as governments create the situation by licensing banks to issue currency which the governments Treasury should emit) instituting austerity measures that reduce government spending on welfare and everything else. This process is entirely organised and controlled by the governments and banks.

Limiting inflation really means hiking the PRICE of money (currency) so much that unemployment rises and peoples spending is restricted because their wages...

ROTHSCHILD control BRICS. ROTHSCHILD control the Worlds Banking System.

Iran, Argentina, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey have applied to join BRICS. Founding members are Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa

Jair Bolsonaro, who recently lost the election in Brazil, the Selection Committee appointed Lula, wanted Braxit from BRICS.
Bolsonara is also a conservative Christian and loves Israel, like all the Evangelicals in America.

Bolsonaro was completing the process, started by previous President Michel Temer, taking Brazil back to the North-West axis controlled by the U.S.
Now we can clearly see why Bolsonaro had to go. They tried to kill him, but he survived the assassination attempt.

BRICS is a ROTHSCHILD smokescreen. They have sucked the West dry and now want to transfer their wealth to BRICS to create ever bigger profits.

ROTHSCHILD are moving out of the US Dollar, the global reserve currency, into gold and other currencies. They are looking to get ahead of the downward trend curve, and cash out before a global collapse, and use gold to pick up the pieces.

In recent decades more and more Chinese economists and budding entrepreneurs have closely studied the Rothschilds.
At the same time, members of the Rothschild family have looked to a rising China for new business opportunities.

China is fascinated with the Rothschilds and Jewish business practices.

Its extremely interesting to note one specific fact about Joseph Gentile, the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). Gentile seems to have a history of being at the helm of ships that sink in a very dramatic fashion. In fact, his job before SVB was atLehman Brothers.
Yes. That Lehman Brothers.

Prior to joining SVB in 2007, Mr. Gentile served as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for Lehman Brothers Global Investment Bank where he directed the accounting and financial needs within the Fixed Income Division.

Who is Joseph Gentile, the link between the SVB and Lehman Brothers collapses?

https://www.esquireme.com/brief/who-is-joseph-gentile-the-link-between-the-svb-and-lehman-brothers-collapses

Well, well, well, it seems the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) has brought a certain individual back into the spotlight. Joseph Gentile, the banks Chief Administrative Officer, has been making headlines due to his past involvement with Lehman Brothers, the global finance firm that famously went bankrupt during the 2008 financial crisis.

Yup, you read that right, the same guy who used to be Lehman Brothers Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is now at the center of attention in the SVB debacle.

SVB, once the premier financial institution for tech and health startup businesses in the US, has been in a rapid downward spiral since Friday, with customers starting to withdraw their deposits due to the banks investments being adversely affected by recently hiked interest rates.

Natural News:
Let there be no illusions about how this ends: The total collapse of the dollar, the banking system and the USA as we know it. Perhaps that was the plan all along.

Yes, it was the plan all along. The plan was hatched 3,300 years ago.

Mr. Gentile is obviously working for those who want to destroy America and the West.

Endometriosis is a common and often painful condition where the lining of the uterus grows outside of it causing an inflammatory response, particularly around menstruation.

While the condition varies amongst individuals, it is frequently associated with pain, bloating, heavy menstruation and impacts on wellbeing and at times, fertility.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month refocusing a lens on the chronic disease continuing to affect the lives of more than 800,000 Australian women, girls, and those who are gender diverse.

Residents who were locked inside their homes while gunshots rang out through their quiet North Queensland neighborhood are speaking to counselors about their experiences.

Officers conducted operations from the kitchens and yards of some homes, forcing some residents to be evacuated.

The sounds of a speaker used by police to negotiate with the man could be heard by residents until the early hours of Monday morning.

The siege ended at 6.45am on Monday, when police found the 50-year-old gunman deceased inside a home.

Key points:

• The 10-hour siege ended when the gunmans body was found
• Some residents were forced to vacate their homes to allow police to conduct operations from them
• The Queensland government is offering residents counselling usually reserved for natural disaster recovery

(Natural News) Three US banks collapsed last week (Silvergate, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature). Contagion took hold and quickly began to spread to other banks.

The entire US banking system would have collapsed starting today if not for the FDIC jumping in and offering to rescue even non-insured depositors at SVB. Normally the FDIC covers only $250K in deposits per person or institution. To try to avert a total systemic collapse, they announced in an emergency session yesterday that they would cover all deposits for these banks.

The problem is that the FDIC only had slightly over $100 billion in funds to carry this out.

Yet the total bank deposits held across America are approaching $10 trillion. (Nearly 10,000 billion.)

In effect, the FDIC only has enough funds to cover about 1% of bank deposits in America.

Even worse, banks in America have over $300 trillion in derivatives liabilities. Thats thirty times larger than the $10 trillion in deposits. The FDIC has only a tiny fraction of a fraction to even think about covering these losses, should derivatives begin to unwind.

The claim that the FDIC is bailing out depositors without using taxpayer money is a lie

Mathematically, what all this means is that the Treasury and Fed are going to have to print money to prop up failing banks, especially as contagion spreads and more banks crater as the Fed raises interest rates a kind of controlled demolition of the US economy and stock market.

This is going to dilute the value of dollars and cause huge inflation increases across all the products you normally buy, such as groceries, housing, clothing, fuel and so on.

All this printed money is created as debt on the shoulders of US taxpayers, and the government will move to confiscate more and more money from the American people to try to shore up the financial nightmare that it created. Joe Biden is already pushing much higher taxes, even as the USA is on track (with new spending programs) to hit over $50 trillion in national debt by 2030.

Let there be no illusions about how this ends: The total collapse of the dollar, the banking system and the USA as we know it.

Perhaps that was the plan all along.

New advances in 3D printing and stem cell technology has the potential to fix up hearts after damage from heart attacks.

This would obviate the need for high-risk heart transplants in many cases, as effectively new heart material can be generated to fit into the part that has been damaged.

The stem cell technology prevents the rejection problems with heart transplants, as the body does not reject the new heart patch.

The leader of the opposition has made it clear that he will not be affording the Greens party special deals or parliamentary positions in order to form government.

The already large cross-bench is also expected to grow, providing opportunity for Labor to form government without the Greens assistance.
