First the protest about govt inaction on climate change, then cracking an egg on Frazer Anning's noggin. It seems that kids are the only ones with any real gumption these days... #auspol #eggboi

#FrontierWarMemorial What a fantastic idea. For remembrance, but also for education. @SkyNewAustralia

Vote in the poll!

@thruster109 @SkyNewsAust I think its a bit under the radar but isn't it true whole language groups were all but decimated all over this country. I'd say there are many parallels between what happened here and in the US. I'd be interested to hear the differences

Protecting forests from logging was most important issue for more than 1 in 5 voters in #Northcote by-election according to Rechtel poll.

12 months later & still no action from @VictorianLabor to protect forests in new parks #SpringSt #vicvotes2018

Honoured to attend the opening of #NgagidjiReport (#HearMe). Capturing the voices of Indigenous children in #youthjustice. The simple request from the panel: Access for more local Elders to the kids. The message to us non-Indigenous people who support: Speak with us, not for us.

How convenient #PeterDutton The Daintree fishing boat is actually #PeopleSmuggling: Evidence our govt is still on the job protecting us from enemy attack from every leaky vessel it can get its hands on. Reckon we'll fall for that one again? #AusPol #RefugeesWelcome #NoConfidence

Here's the perspective on #AusPol from Manus. @ScottMorrisonMP #RefugeesWelcome

[Behrouz Boochani @BehrouzBoochani]

Four PMs changed since we were sent to Manus and Nauru in 2013. Nothing’s changed for us, we are still are here. Its time to close your bloody camps and let us free. None of us wants to go to your country, you’ve given us more pain than one could even imagine. Just let us go.

[Emily Minter @MinterEmily]

@Gcampbell6 Agreed!

[Emily Minter @MinterEmily]

#ScottMorrison is responsible holding more children in immigration detention than any previous government. He bought a lump of coal into Australian Parliament. The only positive is that he will not win the next election. #AusPol #NoNewCoal #RefugeesWelcome

[Emily Minter @MinterEmily]

We narrowly avoided Peter Dutton. But how much better is #ScottMorrison? #JulianBurnside's 2014 article sets out his appalling record as Immigration Minister. #AusPol https://t.co/9pLeYiRXCH

Victoria's Greater Glider population is at risk of being wiped out as the state government allows "irresponsible logging experiments" that environment groups say are unethical and unnecessary. (Pic Ed Hill) https://t.co/1ZQtnSQTFI

While farmers struggle with drought, Adani’s coal mine is allowed take up to 9 billion litres of groundwater and 12 billion litres of surface water every year #StopAdani #qanda
