Congratulations to @LindaBurneyMP for a lifetime of selfless dedication to improving the health, social and economic outcomes for First Nations Australians. Thank you and all the best for your next endeavours

Great to hear ⁦@Mon4Kooyong⁩ and ⁦@DavidPocock⁩ speak about the health impacts of climate change to the largest delegation of doctors and health professionals ever to visit Parliament House, supported by ⁦@SophieScamps⁩ ⁦@zdaniel⁩ and ⁦@zalisteggall⁩

@Juanita_Phillip One of the ABC’s finest. Juanita has been a fantastic asset to the ABC. Maybe she represents a slowly disappearing era as the ABC goes digital. Wishing you well, Juanita, and congratulations on a splendid career.

Is it just me or do others feel @PeterDutton_MP is singing increasingly from the Trump song sheet? https://t.co/I5NxQxlxog

@CroakeyNews keeps delivering such important, indepth coverage of public health policy and news. Love being part of this team and @CroakeyVoices please support #CroakeyFundingDrive Just a few dollars could make a world of difference #climateemergency

A significant case to watch that could force the government to now ambitious climate action.

Totally agree. It's time for a wholescale change of Australian names. Let's celebrate meaningful First Nations place names.

Reading this makes me feel sick. What hope have at-risk young people got when they are constantly hounded even when efforts are being made to transform their lives ?

I’m saddened and frankly embarrassed that my home state, the state of Dunstan’s progressive social democracy, is legislating draconian anti-protest laws. The nation’s toughest. And, it’s being done by a Labor gov. SA used to lead on social reform. This is an overreaction. @alpsa

[Dr Tracy Westerman AM @TracyWesterman]

On Monday I'll present Q+A, then walk away. Racism is violence and I have had enough

The heavy price paid for raising racism & being one of the very few Aboriginal ppl in the media. So sad it has come to this. Thank you Stan for your massive contribution https://t.co/uj3snAtTbl

Blackfullas endure workplace racial violence on the daily. Colleagues turn a blind eye & say 'we didn't know' or 'there was nothing they could do'

Stan Grant quits the ABC’s Q+A, saying racist abuse ‘poisons the air I breathe’ https://t.co/mpQnxaKMZH

[Sarah Ferguson @FergusonNews]

Stan Grant is an admired colleague. The abuse directed at him is disgusting. There are no words adequate to the horror we feel at this. Stan is brilliant and cherished.

[Virginia Trioli @LaTrioli]

I’m appalled and saddened that Stan Grant, a brilliant broadcaster and thinker, has been forced from the ever-crucial contest of ideas. If this country can’t have a civil debate about recognition, racism and the legacy of colonialism then we are lost. I hope he returns soon.

[Jennifer Doggett @JenniferDoggett]

For the 3rd time in 12 months one of my kids has caught COVID at school - their classrooms are poorly ventilated, windows bolted shut in the 2nd story classrooms, no air purifiers, no-one wears masks. Why are we so worried about vaping but so complacent about COVID?

[Cate Carrigan @CateeC]

Just awful that a journalist of Stan Grant's talent and integrity is driven out of an important role by thin-skinned keyboard warriors

How about airlines using decent sized seats? I'm an average sized person and the last Virgin flight I went on had very narrow and squished seating - ridiculous.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

In this video I explained how “The Handmaid's Tale” fiction is our reality in Iran.
I was angry that our oppressive regime was elected for UN’s women’s rights body. I wish #MahsaAmini was alive to see that finally the world is hearing Iranian women. https://t.co/qzzGaY1XeC

[Cate Carrigan @CateeC]

This takes me back to my Catholic upbringing when I'd turn myself inside out to get changed in the pool changerooms without anyone seeing a glimpse of flesh! You have to take your clothes off to change - how ridiculous
