All the feels today. Started working here before I even graduated high school and stayed for ten years. Heartbroken for my former colleagues and the people in our community who rely on it 💔#bdt #covid19australia

[Gayle Ball @GayleBall19]

Sensible advice for all us parents who are trying to navigate how we’re going to manage this

[Gayle Ball @GayleBall19]

Six years at the ABC is coming to an end.... thanks to everyone who I’ve worked with... and to all those who’ve let me share their stories #brokenhill #regionaljournalism

#saveAAP Australia needs a quality newswire

[Gayle Ball @GayleBall19]

There's no place like home

[New South Wales @NewSouthWales]

This is what you can expect when you come face to face with #NewSouthWales' most rugged side. 🤠 Buckle up, we're venturing off the grid to Broken Hill and the Central Darling region. #LoveNSW #OutthereNSW

[Gayle Ball @GayleBall19]

We've been reporting on the dwindling of the Darling River for almost four years..... so lovely to be able to do stories about water making it down the system!

[Sarah McConnell @SarahJMcConnell]

Flows are continuing make their way downstream in the #DarlingRiver. Water has reached Trevallyn Station – 85kms from #Wilcannia.

[Gayle Ball @GayleBall19]

Regional newsrooms play such an important role in their local communities....

“While management hopes to minimise cuts to its regional newsrooms, sources say that no division is immune” https://t.co/09PPEoA9ml

@_JustinStevens_ @abc730 I live in a regional community but lived in Sydney while I studied. I didn’t even know this pool existed until today.

[Gayle Ball @GayleBall19]

Just wondering whether anyone from regioal Far West NSW uses this pool on a regular basis? I lived in Sydney while I studied and didn’t even know it existed until today. #northsydneypool

[Michael Rowland @mjrowland68]

So, the North Sydney Mayor tells #abc730 the North Sydney pool was entitled to receive a $10 million grant from a regional sports grants program because people from regional areas use the pool when visiting Sydney. #auspol

[Mollie Gorman @_MollieGorman]

How good is it when metro media outlets report things as “exclusive” when it’s already been reported by regional media like local papers/radio #exclusive 🤦🏻‍♀️

@BobDyson74 Currently eating chocolate to get through the story writing part of the night....

[Gayle Ball @GayleBall19]

Broken Hill City Council has voted to extend the monthly meeting past 9pm, until all the business has been dealt with. Only about half way through the agenda. It could be a long night.

[Gayle Ball @GayleBall19]

If you look closely, you can see a dragonfly which kept returning to Pro's grave today.... It wasn't interested in any of the other graves... #prohart

[Gayle Ball @GayleBall19]

Fourteen years ago I was a newly qualified Journalist and got to cover Pro's state funeral.... It was clear he was loved......never did I think I would be reporting on vandalism to his memorial... https://t.co/mZ1Tzwx16o

[Shannon Corvo @shannoncorvo]

Dear (some) men: please stop objectifying, vilifying, discriminating, bullying, sexually harassing, intimidating and KILLING us. #EnoughIsEnough #HannahBaxter

[Chelsea Hetherington @chelsea_hetho]

1 in 6 women have experienced physical or sexual violence by a current or former partner.

1 woman is killed every 9 days & 17 are hospitalised EVERY DAY due to assaults by a partner.

That's 1.6 million Aussie mothers like #HannahBaxter who have been harmed by someone they loved

[Gayle Ball @GayleBall19]

Devastating! Not very often the news actually makes me cry 😢

[Shelley Lloyd 🎙 @shelleymlloyd]

A woman who was allegedly set alight with her three children in a car in Brisbane has died in hospital. @abcbrisbane @abcnews

[Gayle Ball @GayleBall19]

@KhamaGilchrist @KhamaGilchrist agreed! Those innocent children and their mother. I just can’t 😢

[Andrew P Street, The @AndrewPStreet]

Dear All Men,
Stop killing women and children. Stop it.
Yours,
Andrew
