Here's a piece I wrote for @abclifeau...Travelling with a wheelchair across Europe taught this family to expect the unexpected https://t.co/Y9YDi7moj8 #wheelchair #wheelchairtravel #inclusion #accessibletravel #familytravel #disability

@tricia_pic Woot! Thanks for the heads up 😛

@ALDIAustralia Thank you, but your reply shows me that the point of my first tweet has been missed completely. Again I ask: why am I not able to contact a store directly? A simple and logical request.

[Liz Pickering @Lizzie_Pic]

@ALDIAustralia why can’t I contact a local store? I believe I have left an item behind but need to check - it is somewhat urgent and a simple phone call would save a whole lot of hassle! Your non-existent store contact policy is so very unhelpful.

Australia is the only country I know that gives a three fold tax break on Super, on contributions, on earnings in the fund and on exit that are skewed in favour of the wealthy, that costs the budget billions per year. Reasonable to ask whether this can be justified?

Eli Lilly stock isn't just tanking because of a satirical Tweet on Musk's hellscape, it's tanking because millions of people are asking why we have to pay for insulin, when it was made to be free.

That's why other insulin stocks are falling too.

Happy Disability Awareness Month

Good Monday morning, @DRC_AU.

It's not yet - but I figured you'd like a few thousand more submissions before December, so I am submitting them one by one. It'll take me that long.
Cos our stories should ALL be heard.
Here is Kyla's, from the Clothesline.

@Ticketek_AU why am I listening to a looped recording, pressing ‘2’ ad nauseam when I simply want to book wheelchair accessible seating for a concert. Why do you make it so hard to
book accessible seating?

Anybody not attending @QDNltd "Disability Is An Election Issue" may be mildly interested to know there was a Shorten/Katter catfight, the LNP no-showed, and Hanson's One Nation rep said it supported defunding the NDIS.

Great that he was in close contact with Qld’s Emergency Response Team yesterday then 🤦🏻‍♀️ #brisbanefloods #auspol

Tonight I tested positive to COVID-19.

I am experiencing flu-like symptoms and will be recovering over the next week.

I had tested myself daily since Sunday, including this morning, with all tests returning a negative result.
