@JeanniemarieBl1 Powerful words - how can we be surprised so few blow the whistle or speak up? It’s not from lack of integrity, You and other whistleblowers deserved so much better.

@PrognosticChats Just came here to say it is possible to find that unicorn, as impossible as it feels, I found mine!

@DrShaneRRR Awesome images!! Where did you buy from - can you buy in Australia?

@chantz_y I’ve coined “cacoughony” for this phenomenon. I was in a park yesterday and watched a young guy stand bent over unable to catch his breath coughing, tearing up, for several minutes. This is not normal and it’s wrong to normalise it

@lifebloodau I would love to donate. But I can’t because your donation centres are full of covid and you do not require anyone to take any precautions! Seems like a bit of a vicious cycle you’ve got there!

@BretlynB And so, surely it would drive up # people on bridging visas or overstaying

[Kathleen Balson @KBalson]

@BretlynB This is how you end up with students at less well recognised, smaller or regional providers who are totally uncommitted to their course/provider and unprepared to be living there (eg their family members are interstate) but needed a way in to Australia. Vulnerable to exploitation

@TheBirdist Thank you! So hilarious, immediate follow!

@PostLeftWatch But more importantly, what will the river end up with?

@UWankings You should see what Australian HE leadership salaries are like

@NjbBari3 @drstip @qldhealth Setting aside whether his study was valid at all, don’t his findings in fact suggest we need to know a LOT more about ALL post viral infection so we can help people experiencing it (whether they know it or not)?

@beneltham @DamienCahill8 Here’s a fun game. Search recent Facebook posts with the name of the university. Often find photos from vendors showing off their catering spreads, customised branded gift packages, photography etc for splashy university events that 99% of staff will never hear about

@jonkudelka Once had a memorable sleepless night due to elderly woman in ward across the hall shouting “mary! Mary! Mary Mary Mary Mary! Hairy Mary!”

@AlisonIsBossy That is uncannily similar to this Australian children’s tv character, and no, I’m not even joking https://t.co/WDjcaBwYqF
