Thank you @independentaus for publishing this piece on Jane Caro’s latest comments on International Men’s Day #media #genderequality

[IndependentAustralia @independentaus]

A call for men to celebrate International Men's Day raises deeper issues regarding gender equality and the lingering need to challenge male privilege.

Jane Caro calls for men to ‘get active’ on International Men’s Day

@PatsKarvelas As much as I hated the chaos back then at least you knew the ALP were aware things weren’t looking good

Thank you to @independentaus for publishing another analysis article I have written: The fact that only Paralympians are elevated to positions of power demonstrates that not all people with disabilities are equal #Disability #ndis #disabilitytwitter

@BonnieLerino @independentaus I think you’ll find neither myself or IA have ‘sold out’. And for the record- not a LNP or conservative voter.

Heartbreaking 💔 I stand with all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people #VoiceReferendum

[Melissa Gillian Marsden @MelMarsden96]

@immy_new Tell me about it 😍

[Melissa Gillian Marsden @MelMarsden96]

I’m voting yes for a Voice to Parliament because I believe the oldest continuing culture on the planet deserves to be heard #VoiReferendum #VoiceToParliament #auspol

[💧Bee - Difficult 🐝🌿❤ @BelindaJones68]

A vote for 'No' is just an admission by you that you got conned by a very effective marketing campaign of fear.

That's it, that's all it means.

Ok can I just say how proud I am of the way @PatsKarvelas handled Monday nights @QandA. #auspol #QandA

[Melissa Gillian Marsden @MelMarsden96]

@markgkenny sums it up perfectly #VoiceToParliament #auspol #VoteYes2023

[Mark Kenny @markgkenny.bsky.social @markgkenny]

Are media just incapable of facilitating complex, nuanced public debates? The experience with the Voice ref has seen equal space given to scares, lies & cooker nonsense. In a form of moral retreat, broadcasters shrink to become carrier services. @ANUausi

@abcnews @PatsKarvelas In Adelaide?! How did I not know about this!

[Melissa Gillian Marsden @MelMarsden96]

Just going to say I stand with @PatsKarvelas and the rest of the ABC staff who hold politicians and public figures to account #auspol
