Daylight savings is a very good idea because dawn at 4.30 am is very bad idea.

I do so love a flag fact 🇦🇺

[Parliament House Canberra @ParlHouseCBR]

It’s Australian National Flag Day!

The flag you will see flying over Parliament House is 1 of 14 flags in rotation.

The Parliament House flag will change typically on the first Wednesday of the month to ensure each flag wears evenly and to keep it looking fresh.

Australia opposes the death penalty in all circumstances for all people. Today, on World Day Against the Death Penalty, 🇦🇺 stands committed to ending its use worldwide & particularly recognises all women who risk being sentenced to death or who have received a death sentence.

[Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade 🇦🇺 @dfat]

Australia is committed to universal human rights & believes the death penalty has no place in the modern world. Abolition of the death penalty is a priority of 🇦🇺's human rights advocacy & multilateral engagement, incl. at the @UN: https://t.co/2RrRyFyjM2

If you need to sing something over and over and over again, the chorus from @KaceyMusgraves' "Biscuits" is an *excellent* alternative to "Pop goes the weasel" and is a thousand times less likely to drive you spare in the process.

Honestly did not expect my 11 week old, Australian-born son to be a US country music aficionado, but here we are.

Want an effective and hilarious way to get your newborn to sleep? Partner with them for (a gentle version of) @blancobrown's "The Git Up" dance. Out like a light before you can say "that was not so bad". NB: the same probably can't be said for your dancing.
