ACN CEO Adjunct Professor Kylie Ward FACN met with Independent Senator @pocockdavid yesterday to discuss how to best advocate for #nurses and the issues affecting our profession. #nursetwitter #auspol

@shepherdannam1 And I am grateful to you Anna that this is what you strive for every day - thank you!

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

Congratulations to all the winning candidates this state election and in particular the independents. Thank you to all who supported me and also to the Electoral Commission.

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

Speaking out on the tough issues. A strong voice for SA #independent #savotes

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

South Australians what do you want for our state? Let me know. I want transparent government and politicians held to account - not just at elections when we can vote them in or out! I want country and city people alike to be heard. Together we are stronger! #independence #savotes

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

Agreed @samanthamaiden - her courage to speak out is powerful!

[Samantha Maiden @samanthamaiden]

For the rest of my life, until the day I die I will always be in awe of the power and dignity of @BrittHiggins_

It has been an honour simply to bear witness to this woman. We have so much to learn from her.

She is a warrior and hero.

...@alpsa ‘apology under pressure’...that’s one done! Politicians must demonstrate integrity & leadership - not the same old gene pool of group think entitled patronising boys club! @SALibMedia #EnoughIsEnough #March4Justice

[Stacey Lee @Staceylee_]

A reckoning 7 years in the making. The head of @alpsa has publicly apologised for a flyer from the 2014 election, widely condemned as racist. It asked voters if they could trust @SALibMedia candidate Carolyn Habib - today @AnnabelDigance distanced herself from it #SAParli

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

...and this boys club has subsidiaries in every Australian parliament @juliahbanks @janine_hendry @alpsa #EnoughIsEnough

[Guardian Australia @GuardianAus]

Parliament House is the biggest boys' club in the country. It’s up to Scott Morrison to change that | Julia Banks https://t.co/xdjL0Rrjx3

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

My story about ‘that flyer’ I didn’t know was coming-the opportunity is now open for all those involved to step up, take responsibility, ask ‘how can we help’ to change the culture so rights of women=men! ⁦⁦@alpsa⁩ ⁦@janine_hendry⁩ https://t.co/tPJm2lWEkd

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

Agreed!!

[Jane Caro @JaneCaro]

No private schools should be publicly funded until there is a well resourced public school in the area.

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

That sounds like fairness & equity to me - great policy!! @alpsa #auspol

[Max Chandler-Mather @MChandlerMather]

Remember when Labor dumped Rudd and then scrapped the mining tax basically the next day - well it would have raised $69 billion.

Just by reintroducing the original mining tax we could fund dental into Medicare for everyone.

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

....and there’s the problem @LucyTurnbull_AO...waiting!!! We must make the change, step up & say NO to waiting!! That is what the boys clubs depend on...women waiting for our turn!! #EnoughIsEnough @janine_hendry #auspol

[Lucy Turnbull AO @LucyTurnbull_AO]

While we wait a while for gender equity in #Parliament and #theSenate could governments make sure there is much greater gender balance in political officers, from the PMO down? Especially Chiefs of Staff and senior policy advisers. That could speed up #culturalchange too /2

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

@janine_hendry These issues arguably cut across all political parties spanning federal and state levels...but currently not all sides are speaking out! This should not be a political issue! We expect our children not to bully! #EnoughIsEnough

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

@crikey_news the PM must at least ‘drop’ them both to the backbench...how can either make ‘good’ decisions on behalf of Australians when they are apparently under such ‘pressure’ which has = paid sick leave?!

[Crikey @crikey_news]

Good morning, early birds. Scott Morrison is reportedly considering removing Christian Porter as attorney-general and Linda Reynolds as defence minister, and the NSW MP accused of sexual assault has stepped forward and stepped aside. https://t.co/Z1wPe3plil

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

..... but first we need tougher penalties on the ground right now to include and protect women @TimWattsMP @janine_hendry

[Tim Watts MP @TimWattsMP]

Today marks two years since Attorney-General Christian Porter and the then Comms Minister announced ‘tougher penalties to protect Australians’ online privacy”. Australians are still waiting for them to be delivered 👇🧵

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

Come on @ScottMorrisonMP begin with female inclusive legislation - I reckon that will demonstrate you understand women make up half the Australian population!#femaleinclusivelegislation #EnoughIsEnough #March4Justice @janine_hendry #auspol

[Women's Agenda @WomensAgenda]

'Being told that the PM is “desperately trying” when he has not lifted a finger in the direction of action to model, decree or demand women in this country be treated with respect is an insulting charade I women won't indulge,' @georgiedent writes. https://t.co/uRSCu6dSL3

[Annabel Digance @AnnabelDigance]

To say I’m embarrassed by this cut in funding is an understatement - Australia; we are a caring & inclusive society!! Say no to meanness!! Maybe our mega rich who just got richer courtesy of the pandemic could act and show compassion - dig deep guys!! #auspol #EnoughIsEnough

[Megaphone Australia @megaphoneau]

The Federal Government is set to cut funding to homelessness services by over $50 million. If this goes ahead critical services will be closed and jobs will be lost across Australia.

Sign the @ASUnion petition now to save homelessness services. https://t.co/8gNM4IA3mB
