This is my home.
And it looks like another planet.

My Dad, Michael Doering, is right to say that "It's frustrating in #SouthAustralia that we don't get recognized as being in drought."

@marshall_steven, @TimWhetstoneMP, please give our farmers a fair go.

[7NEWS Adelaide @7NewsAdelaide]

While the bushfire crisis cripples the nation, local farmers want to remind South Australians about the extreme drought on Adelaide's doorstep. If it doesn't break soon, some could be forced to walk away altogether. https://t.co/8ftPfFYTVQ @caseytreloar #7NEWS

An event of world-historical significance has occurred; witness history in action.
Mark this day.

God save the King.

[ABC Adelaide @abcadelaide]

It cost @SamuelDoering more than $10k to get home from Europe, and after all that he still can't see his family in SA.

He told @busbygoers how he ended up stuck in Sydney.

@DrEstellePrnq @thehistoryguy Awesome! We need more content like this🙌

The world has lost a legend today.

Paul Pfeiffer's 'At the Window' speaks to me in a way no other poem can.

Can you think of a poem that creeps into your mind on a regular basis, one that you love and won't leave you?

[Samuel Doering @SamuelDoering]

As far as I know, the date is untarnished, with the only notable event being V.E. Day in 1945.

With this blank slate, we can celebrate together.

May 8 would respect our shared history and reflect our humour. Neither would it put salt into the wound of Aboriginal identity.

[Samuel Doering @SamuelDoering]

What about changing #AustraliaDay to May 8th?

"May 8" sounds like "Maaate", and that is who we are as Aussies.

We are mates who help our neighbours, who look out for one another no matter our birthplace or story.

Nothing could be more Australian.

Lockdown. Day 85.

I love looking at old illustrations and photographs. 👀📷🔎

I am struck by the number of church spires in the vicinity of St Pauls - what is now the glass and concrete City of London. It seems Old Parliament House is also visible further up stream.

@georgiakthomas @felixe252 Hi @felixe252 I hope you're keeping well.

[Samuel Doering @SamuelDoering]

@Evie_shipp I love it!

[Samuel Doering @SamuelDoering]

Politics has become more about being somebody rather than doing something.

A new emphasis on truth-telling in a post-T***p world needs to be spearheaded by leaders in government. We, as the electorate, need to call out misinformation.

A pleasing and punchy read, @latingle.

[Financial Review @FinancialReview]

The Trump presidency has allowed too many politicians here to borrow from his playbook of stretching the truth. https://t.co/YzE7st54IP

@BalleEirin Same thing can be said of Aussies...

[Samuel Doering @SamuelDoering]

Hopefully with an enormous Gatsby-esque party.

Serious question: How does the pandemic end?

[Samuel Doering @SamuelDoering]

@ScottMorrisonMP is kicking the climate change can down the road, and passing on the problem to the next generation. Either that, or he has no plan.
The PM should be making plans, reducing emissions and aiming for targets, not stumbling around in a fog of delusion.

Word of the day is 'exsibilate' (17th century): to hiss a poor performer off the stage.

An effective and functioning government, with a compassionate and intelligent leadership is the most attractive thing ever.

There is no time to waste when it comes to tackling the crises we face. That's why today, I am heading to the Oval Office to get right to work delivering bold action and immediate relief for American families.
