Truly extraordinary that this did not get more attention then or now. What an indictment on us as a country.

🧵 I had a tour of the new "Making home" complex in Melbourne CBD today.

Council own property turned into transitional housing for the city homeless. 50 studio apartments with first 5 people moving in next week. Complex has ground level wrap around services like primary health

Literally going against all expert advice, taking a tough stance on something unenforceable so they can continue to be spineless about everything that’s hard

Gone is a genocidal president too hypocritical to admit it. And in comes a genocidal president who wears it as a badge of honor.

How on earth did primary schools manage to function before they could send parents 4 notifications a day on a very mediocre app?

[Dr Kathryn Daley @Kat_Daley]

Incredibly generous colleague too 👏👏

In the years I’ve been making Stuff The British Stole, the biggest lesson for me has been how much history hides behind politeness—polite plaques, polite speeches, polite monarchs.

I don’t have Lidia Thorpe's life experience, and it’s not appropriate for me to offer commentary on her actions.

But let’s be clear on one thing: the British Empire was not a polite enterprise. Like most, it was built on conquest, power, and, yes, things were truly stolen. Many things that have not been returned or in some cases even acknowledged.

It was not a polite empire.

Israel is literally wiping out apartment buildings in Beirut tonight.

Let that sink in—residential buildings full of Lebanese families.

In what universe is this considered “self-defense”?

"can't meet the King, have 'other commitments'" lololol

[Dr Kathryn Daley @Kat_Daley]

this is actually quite funny

All state Premiers decline invitation to official welcome reception for King Charles. Good. They have real work to do. Charles is Aust's Head of State by birthright alone - an arcane dynastic inheritance that has no place in a modern democracy #auspol https://t.co/JMAkFiH2jI

BEIRUT: Israel has bombed one of main water channels from Litani River. Thousands hectares now without irrigation. Will cause huge food shortages. On top of heavy shelling & “widespread” (HRW) use of chemical weapons by Israel (white phosphorus) on sth Lebanon this is devastating

@Hare15011 ❤️🫶❤️ Terrible, terrible news.

Looking forward to this. The best conference for critically informed alcohol and other drug research.

@sandyosullivan I live in Melbourne and every single year I forget it's a public holiday

[Dr Kathryn Daley @Kat_Daley]

@EveHayes123 You shouldn't have to explain yourself. I'm sorry. It absolutely sucks.

I find it so amusing that Rupert Murdoch could only persuade ONE of his children support to support his political views 😂
