Will be renouncing my British passport tomorrow.

“If you don’t know, vote no” what an absolutely terrible message. Inform yourselves people - read some things, talk to people. There’s more than enough information out there about what the Voice could look like and what it will do. Don’t waste this vote through sheer ignorance.

Instead of a CEO sleep out, we should just put neoliberal economists, the RBA board and big business leaders on the average Australian wage for six months (no access to savings) and get them to show us how it all works - budgeting, finding housing etc, in this economy

This year was the year I was going to have paid off my first degree… not looking likely now despite the money already out of my account 👋

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

If you earn $60,000 and have an average-sized HECS debt, this year you will pay back $1,500 of your HECS… but your debt will increase by $1,700.

That’s not fair, and it’s why I’ve joined other independents in urging the Federal Government to consider other options.

Coldplay is great but @MarkMcGowanMP @DavidTempsMLA if you don’t secure Taylor Swift at Optus there will be bad blood.

[Laura Meachim @LauraMeachim]

THIS. If things aren’t done for our generation now, we’re going to be struggling even more down the line with debts created by the system. Being a 20-something-year old right now is scary time.

HECS rant 1/2:

I know I’m not the only one in this boat but I’m struggling to understand the logic of the HECS indexation being applied before tax time. I’m lucky to be at the very end of my HECS, and my compulsory repayments this year have now covered my debt (woo hoo).

@StationDog6725 So good to see you today Lizzy 🥰

[Laura Meachim @LauraMeachim]

My one flex was having a blue tick on Twitter… gone but not forgotten. Thanks Elon.

[Laura Meachim @LauraMeachim]

@michlstan Glad you’re safe Mich! How many cyclones have you covered now?!

[Laura Meachim @LauraMeachim]

Music to my ears - it took 10 yrs to receive a diagnosis, and last week I had my laparoscopic surgery. I’ve spent so much time, money and emotional energy trying to figure out what was wrong. This is a good step in the right direction 👏 https://t.co/42RArhvdEd

Journos! I want to know - what’s your favourite thing comms people do to get your attention/make your life easier when pitching stories?

[Laura Meachim @LauraMeachim]

@marianfaa Marian this is so good!! Amazing work

[Laura Meachim @LauraMeachim]

I feel sad - for Brittany, for my friends who have never reported out of fear of this same scenario, for all the people who have not been believed or heard or empowered to speak their truth. Brittany is admirable for her immense bravery and resilience. #IBelieveBrittany

[Hugh Riminton @hughriminton]

The prosecutor’s comments on the decision to call off a retrial in the #BruceLehrmann rape trial are worth hearing for yourself. @10NewsFirst #BrittanyHiggins

[Laura Meachim @LauraMeachim]

Once when touring Geraldton’s prison as a Journo, I asked the guard about the aircon sitch. He replied “what do you think this is? A hotel?”

I was appalled. Aircon isn’t a luxury in Australia, particularly regional Australia. It’s a basic human right.

[Laura Meachim @LauraMeachim]

Regional flight delayed 6 hours (thanks @Qantas 🤌) and Black Friday emails pouring into inbox. The ultimate test of willpower.

@EllenCutch Blondes of Australia need his secrets

[Laura Meachim @LauraMeachim]

What I really want to know is how much purple shampoo Lobb is going through 🤨💜 #AFLPiesFreo

[Laura Meachim @LauraMeachim]

Sums it up.

David Mundy: Farewell purple prince
Alex Pearce: Not his night

@michlstan No this is smart. I almost missed my flight the other day cause I got there 40 mins before (what I normally do) and the lines for security were out the terminal! Madness. Have the best time!
