Last week Cumberland City Council banned same-sex parenting books from its public libraries.

Sign the petition and help show council that they made a mistake and all families should be seen and valued in our public libraries.

Fertility in Australia has dropped to the point that without migration the population will start dropping from 2037.

As Amanda Davies (@uwanews) writes, this trend is widespread – with half the world being unable to replace itself. https://t.co/C4x4TOXFYy

[Star Observer @star_observer]

Mardi Gras in this day and age should invoke feelings of pride, freedom and safety – but according to a new report, Australia’s top LGBTQIA+ event could sadly be closer to its violent roots than we realise.

Sadly, we have had to close applications for this service in less than 24 hours because we've had 7 times the number of applications that we have places.

Grant funders, this is the level of unmet need.
National and local government, this is the level of unmet need.

[Charles Sturt University @CharlesSturtUni]

🗣️ Have you ever heard of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)?

#CharlesSturtUni's @Cyrena19 says DLD impacts 1 in 14 people, but fewer than 20% of Aussies have heard of it. The condition affects people regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or language.

[GetUp! @GetUp]

We feel a deep sadness and disappointment at today's result.

To First Nations people, this moment is incredibly hurtful. You might not have the space to work out what this means for us right now, and that's ok.

We'll try to work it out together.
We fight on.
