@DavidPocock Chris Wallace is spot on, what's the point of voting you in if you're going to help delay these much needed (yet modest) changes. Delaying only serves the interests of the wealthy business lobby and their mates in the MSM. https://t.co/iHBDMf7C2m via @SatPaper
Looking for a barrister prepared to work pro-bono to challenge the Victorian State Government on the removal of masking from public transport as it removes safe access to health care and support services for many vulnerable and disabled people. Please retweet. @VictorianCHO

Gazprom just released these photos of a NATO Seafox drone that was found right next to Nord Stream 1 in 2015. The drone failed to detonate. NATO was caught red-handed and claimed the drone was lost during exercises. They tried it before. Go figure.
@MarianSmedley@Nishaobgyn Good point re emergency and I'm more than happy to be corrected! I'm too sceptical sometimes. However just a recent e.g. of a friend's experience in a public hospital where he observed management bend over for a racist patient contributed to my comment. I shouldn't extrapolate.
@MarianSmedley@Nishaobgyn The hospital would bend to the racism and find a white Dr for her. The same goes I suspect for any patient whether white or not, who expressed disdain for their treating Dr/nurses skin colour, the hospital would find the path of least resistance if poss. Not good.

So is Australia a rogue Covid state now? We don't even bother with WHO reporting, which to my knowledge is required under international law? Anywhere else we should be looking? #auspol#covid19aus
On Thursday, me and other disabled activists met w/ @SenatorJordon about our concerns with euthanasia (VAD) in Australia. Queensland's law takes effect 1 January, and the likely passage of the Restoring Territory Rights Bill 2022 means ACT & NT will be able to pass similar laws.
The defence minister Richard Marles ordered an inquiry into war powers...and then tells the committee it's very bad idea to let parliament have a say or a vote.
Why have an inquiry if you're not even willing to hear the arguments?

Holding the country ransom while owning mining shares — guess who? https://t.co/LyeaxNbNqf
Nationals’ Deputy Leader David Littleproud has the most resources-heavy share portfolio of anyone in the party. He owns shares in BHP, mining company South32, Blue Energy............
95 years ago, Victoria criminalised cannabis. Billions have been spent trying to eradicate it, yet more than one in three of us have tried it. Since then thousands of Victorians have been convicted, fined, jailed. It's time to legalise it. #legaliseit
Actually quite a clever protest. No damage to the artwork. As @grogsgamut said, they’re on the right side of history. And protest isn’t meant to be comfortable or comforting. Ping @kscrawling https://t.co/UL2adOKxm8
