It is perverse that politics - a field that should be motivated solely and exclusively by public service - is instead almost entirely motivated by self-interest.
I’m coming for our mob imprisoned. We have never been free to find out what we can really do. I’m also coming for land rights because the western world’s most learned diplomats and greatest intellectuals have failed to solve this grave sovereignty problem. Black lawyers matter ✊🏾
For what it’s worth-and I suspect from years of experience it’s worth zilch -the fact Women’s International Day events feature male speakers has for years been STUPIDLY inappropriate but here we are in 2021... & FFS it’s Parliament House! Im so dismayed but sadly not surprised.

There should be no place for gendered violence or discrimination of any kind, anywhere in this country - and this place should be setting the standard. #auspol
Everyone deserves to be safe in their workplace.
Speaking as a woman in Parliament, and as a survivor of men's violence, the morale of women in this place has been seriously impacted over this past week. Thread/

Worried about the state of journalism? Then fund it properly. Concerned about Big Tech making too much money? Then tax it properly. Worried about data extraction? Then tighten privacy law. The media bargaining code achieves ZERO of that. https://t.co/6Wz6bX9uE6
