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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.

....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
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
@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
@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?!
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
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 👇🧵
'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
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
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
