@AlboMP How will we pay for current and future climate disasters, chronic disease and ageing populace, the growing rich/poor divide and homeless women over 50 - real now?The Gov is broke! 'It's time' to break the mould of political cowardice. 2025 is too late. #taxthesuperrichnow

@abcnews weekends has no journalistic integrity. This morning Fauziah Ibrahim stated about war in Ethiopia, that they rarely report on it, as Ethiopia 'is so far away'. The Sports presenter said if he won lotto he'd invest in Twitter. @ItaButtrose I'm done with this ignorance.

@ABCthedrum #middleage Might it also be related to middle age coming with big hormonal changes? Surely it's not only about material expectations. Depression, odd behaviour and so on requires hormones to be activated. It's good to triangulate theories and research.

@ABCthedrum @farrm51 Really Malcolm, you think Australian women need to look at the history of discrimination and abuse here, so we can appreciate how women in Iran are treated? C'mon, we are discriminated abused, killed and now. Why put this to us, to imagine? Hello, man!

@Dan_Bourchier Absolutely brilliant interviews at #Garma2022, especially with our remarkable Minister Linda Burney.

Gone girl. A quick Polaroid snap out in the cold before Kiki Capri and Lucas set off on their @thelma.fangs adventure, in Thelma the Troopy - prior to their Newcastle move. Bless.

#RoeOverturned #RoeVWade is the era of the #metoomovement. Patriarchy never sleeps. We must never come complacent about human rights. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

[Dr Cassy Lass (PhD type), Naarm @Sascade]

Roe vs Wade has been demolished in the USA. Cis women have lost bodily autonomy and a life of choice and equality. Right wing patriarchy never sleeps.

@billshortenmp thank you for so powerfully articulating the potentially and tensions of the #Ndis As someone who needs disability support for #MECFS, I'm terribly daunted by the cost and effort it would take to apply, to inevitably be rejected - even though I can't manage alone.

ME/CFS definition of self-destructive behaviour? I cooked a healthy meal yesterday, and decided to cook again today. Pure excess, I know. I'm expecting the PEM police to come knock my door down. #PEM #chronicfatiguesyndrome #thiscouchlife #thisillnesslife #MECFS #MillionsMissing

Some people have been suggesting that 'nobody is perfect' - not even @ScottMorrisonMP, or Brené Brown! But I would a PM who is competent and ethical would come in handy. And would it also be ok to ask for them to not be constantly abominably offensive?
