Horrified by the outrageous treatment of @BreakfastNews host Lisa Millar.
We need to stay angry at the intolerable garbage tossed at women on a daily basis & in defiance, call it out AND celebrate the wonderful women in our lives. Great support @mjrowland68 #istandwithlisa

Enormous congratulations to Dylan Alcott. An absolute inspiration! #AustralianOfTheYear

[Dylan Alcott @DylanAlcott]

Wow. I’m forever grateful. My purpose today and everyday is to change perceptions so people with disability can live the lives they deserve to live. I’ll do my best to make you all proud as your Australian of the Year xx

[Jane Austin @JaneAustinAUS]

@MarylouiseMcla1 Professor McLaws, my absolute best wishes for a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹. If there has been a silver lining over the last two years, its been the focus on Australia’s leading epidemiologists/scientists, many of them women. Your wisdom, compassion & objectivity gave me faith. #staysafe

[Jane Austin @JaneAustinAUS]

Thankyou Grace! ♥️

@iiNet This is so very frustrating. I understand the difficulties but what is the likely down time - customers need to know. #communicationplz

[Jane Austin @JaneAustinAUS]

Thanks @MarcBryantAu, this is an unimaginable tragedy. Tasmanians are wrapping around the community, but very very tough times. 🤍

[Cram @ManannanMacLi]

Sending thoughts to the Tasmanian community at this time

The media coverage may be distressing for some audiences, please reach out for support

Yet another inspiring experience working with so many passionate, motivated and caring clinicians. Always thrilled to be part of the training team in Tasmania. @4_MentalHealth_ @MHResearchUniSA @Connectwpeople

Comprehensive & informative presentation from @kershaw_steph re: evaluation of @cracksintheice online toolkit. #2021ATDC Conference #hobart @rethinkadd #courage #change #impact

[Jane Austin @JaneAustinAUS]

Impressive start to the #2021ATDC conference in Hobart, celebrating outstanding contributions via ATOD Awards. Powerful presentation from @dan_lubman on the need to rethink addiction @rethinkadd

[Sally McManus @sallymcmanus]

It's time the Fed Govt bought in JobKeeper2 to protect jobs and businesses during lockdowns. Casual workers & small businesses should not bear the cost of the Govts vaccine and quarantine failures.

@DanTehanWannon, when is a race not a race? When life is in danger, it’s a race-a hard, fast, intense race to save lives. Telling Australians the Stawell Gift is a race but the pandemic isn’t? Shame on the Gov for missing the start! What a disgrace. #getonwithit @InsidersABC

[Jane Austin @JaneAustinAUS]

How can we have faith in Australia’s recovery when climate change is marginalised as a major policy issue. #qanda

[Jane Austin @JaneAustinAUS]

Great panel on @QandA tonight. Respectful, intense and powerful conversations between women about women on coercive control, superannuation, inequality, financial independence & policies that discriminate against women. #qanda #genderequality

NOT EVERY OLDER PERSON WANTS TO SIT IN A ROOM WITH A BEACH MURAL SINGING WAR SONGS.

People who turn 75 this year were 30 years old in 1975...Bee Gees, Bowie, Eagles, Earth Wind & Fire. Maybe some Hard Metal. Won’t know unless we ask.

[Jane Austin @JaneAustinAUS]

@JillFilipovic One of the funniest things I’ve read here in hotel quarantine!

[Jane Austin @JaneAustinAUS]

Interesting data indeed. #mentalhealth #resilience #COVID__19 #uk

[Cram @ManannanMacLi]

During #COVID19 UK had stable rates of Google searches related to mental distress

However, there was an increase with searches linked to coping/resilience such as exercise & learning new skills

Seems @Google Trends gives large pulse of a nation

Well done @ProfAnnJohn & team

[Jane Austin @JaneAustinAUS]

Why is it so hard for politicians to say yep, they [the other side], are doing a good job? We’ve been asked to dig in, to work together, to look out for each other & stay connected. Our mental health is under stress. Kindness is free for all & its impact profound. @mjrowland68

[Jane Austin @JaneAustinAUS]

Love this!

[Jane Austin @JaneAustinAUS]

@mhdksafa Definitely

[Jane Austin @JaneAustinAUS]

@mjrowland68 @LisaMillar as a child of the 80s, I still roll out A Ha for a dance party at home; can’t say Ric Astley holds court the same way though. Be proud Michael, be proud!
