Some context re #CredibleWomen It was coined by yours truly after a PMO staffer told me y’day ‘no one credible’ was being critical of the Budget re women.
It was not coined to be exclusive or elitist. Quite the contrary. It is for ALL men and women who see the Budget’s flaws.

For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.

Covid is unpredictable. We learn day by day, bit by bit. What’s happening in Victoria could happen anywhere. So could the Melbourne/Victoria bashings take a back seat? Instead of dumping on them, let’s empathise.Your town could be next.
And we still won’t know why exactly.

"With a recovery design that considers decarbonisation, there are a multitude of job-rich, shovel-ready, stimulus opportunities that also unlock long-term value. Many of these projects are negative cost, in that their long-term financial benefits outweigh upfront investment"

May have lied to my 90yo granny that I'd finished @bairdjulia's stunning book because I knew that otherwise she'd wait for me to be done and she's so ecited. Must now speed read as much as poss before sending it her way. Thankyou for sharing the awe of cuttlefish with us, Julia.

I have been thinking of Yorta Yorta woman Tanya Day’s family today. I hope this brings them some comfort.

I do not want to see any more deaths in custody - no one should ever go through this pain again.
