@JaneCaro In a routine antenatal check in hosp, the Dr performed an internal examination. 2 days later my waters broke & I had a stillbirth at 24wks. The coroner’s report showed infection was the cause. I was so numb with grief, it was quite a while later that I remembered that Drs appt.
@MColvinMcKenzie@JaneCaro@LugubriousLarry Yep I’ve experienced an unnecessary breast check during a quick Dr’s visit in a medical centre I hadn’t frequented prior, while asking for antibiotics for my head cold. Wasn’t quite sure what or why, so went along with it. Wouldn’t now.
Sarah Hanson-Young: “Today I introduced a Greens bill to establish a Royal Commission into the Murdoch media empire and the state of media diversity in Australia."
@GoKatGo1968@AngelComrade@AmyRemeikis Exactly. A suburb where houses cost well under the average house price. You also said you’re in a house subsidised by the rest of us. Your situation is vastly different to millions of other Australians right now.
@BenFordhamLive Niki Savva recently wrote in The Age/SMH. "While it is not true to say that every Australian who votes No in the Voice referendum is a racist, you can bet your bottom dollar that every racist will vote No."
@RayMondeDeux@DavidSandow1@tofar1 Yep I have friends who something similar happened with $180k payment from a council contract to their building company. The ‘new details’ was requested via email. They lost their hard earned money.
@YaBriggs@BradJamin3 I’m unsure who ‘won’ the rental property or what they offered to secure it. In this situation I was trying to secure it for my daughter and two of her coworkers, so offered to put up the 3mths rent , still no luck.
Australia’s stance on refugee policy during the 9yrs the LNP government were in office with @ScottMorrisonMP & @PeterDutton_MP making decisions affecting the lives of people not numbers (!) let’s remember @karenandrewsmp too… was an an absolute disgrace.
This is a must watch.
Incredible exchange between author and former Manus Island detainee, @BehrouzBoochani , and Australia’s Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, @DanTehanWannon

@HivesRoy@Sarah_Haar_ How often is it you can even see a truckies face when they’re driving behind or next to you? The only time is if they’re driving towards you. If they have a business name on the truck I call the business, but otherwise you’re powerless. :(
@Sarah_Haar_ You have to wonder - for what reason does he have latex gloves in his car for? That is just plain creepy. Glad you are ok despite what must have been terrifying. Road rage should be a crime.
