I like to think I tweet about other things, but really, I just tweet about politics. Proud trade unionist. Views expressed are my own.

From the 8 hour day, to conscription, to marriage equality, Trades Hall will always be home to any fight for basic human decency. 🚩🏳️‍🌈 https://t.co/rIXhSjObHD

.@abcmelbourne Cannot stand the hypocrisy of Catholic Church lecturing society about best interests of children @AMEquality #EqualMarriage
