@MelbSymphony tonights’s performance of Zhao Jiping Violin Concerto No.1 sounded incredible, except for the quiet parts where we could hear the camera techs’ instructions very clearly 🤔🙄
We didn't need a plebiscite to tell us that marriage equality was the right thing to do.
We sure as hell don't need an inquiry to tell us that these laws will harm trans kids.
All kids deserve protection.
Gay kids, trans kids - all kids, no exceptions.
If the Federal Government wants to change that, then we will do everything in our power to protect LGBTIQ+ Victorians.
For decades, Murdoch media outlets have twisted the narrative so the rich & powerful are somehow seen as the oppressed at the hands of “faceless bureaucrats”, “cultural elites”or some other mythical “bully”. Little wonder we’ve become an increasingly corrupt society. #auspol
Why not
Change the law so employers have a duty to prevent harassment
10 days family and domestic violence leave
Pay women the same as men
Fund and expand services
Value women’s paid and unpaid work

So many numbers swirling around this weekend about NSW hospitalisation rates
3 big questions:
1. What on earth is the hospitalisation rate in NSW?
2. How is it calculated?
3. Should Hospital In The Home (HITH) be included?
Let's go into the weeds🌱

Hold the line, Melbourne.
What you do matter. What you do matter to your community and it certainly matters to us health care workers. We know the tragedy that is occurring inside hospitals elsewhere. We do not want that to occur to us.
Victorians, if you're feeling like all you endured was for nothing, it wasn't. Last year, there were no vaccines. You put up with hell for more than six months, saving the country from the same fate. You were shat on and mocked and demonised for it, but you still did it. ♥️
7/ That is the joy of Parker's opinion.
It is bracing. It is astonishing. It is, frankly, righteous. A defense of basic American principles:
• justice
• rule of law
• telling the truth
• courts as an arena of accountability

Alan: “We knew we couldn't use it in ‘77, ‘78, ‘79. It would’ve been a waste. We waited ‘til the time was right. When it came out it didn't sound like anything! It’s just slightly askew, unsettling, but draws you in.”
Here's some rare but realllllly good news. It seems Melbourne has hurt the Herald Sun, almost as much as The Herald Sun has hurt Melbourne. https://t.co/NmcSOtbHof

Dear stupid cunts saying we shouldn’t put animals before people..
1. The animals go in the hold where people can’t go.
2. This is an extra, privately funded plane that will allow MORE people to be saved. #OperationArk
Urgent: @PenFarthing is brave and kind. Such honour should be rewarded. He's still trying to save others in the face of grave danger. He shouldn't be left behind. And they rescued a fucking car? Shame. #OperationArk
