. @AusGov’s $4.7 billion funding package to tackle domestic & family violence is a vital step. Children & young people are victim-survivors in their own right. We look forward to seeing gov work with the sector to ensure better protection and access to child-centric services.

[UNICEF Australia @unicefaustralia]

We are concerned about increasingly punitive responses to children + young people in our #CriminalJustice system and the impact on their health & development. We urge all governments to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility to 14 to better protect children’s rights and safety.

[UNICEF Australia @unicefaustralia]

We support @AusGov's wage increase for Early Childhood Education & Care workers. A supported ECEC workforce will encourage better quality early learning & stronger bonds with educators, helping children feel safe, confident & ready for the future.

The way I would do absolutely anything to be able to do this for 5 minutes

[Full Stop Australia @FullStopAus]

ABS has released data showing that national rates for reported sexual assaults are at a 31-year high. This is against the backdrop that the vast majority of victim-survivors (92%) don’t report to police.

There was a baby chimp born at The Sedgwick County Zoo, the baby had to be put on oxygen for a few days. This is a clip of it being reintroduced to its mother for the first time.

@Aidos16 @Ticketek_AU Unbelievable!

[Sarah Boyle @Sboyle01]

Disappointing @Ticketek_AU , was charged for four tickets for Blink182 when I only need two, for Sydney show. Website an absolute shambles and no order confirmation. Will I ever get a refund?

[Sarah Boyle @Sboyle01]

@LouTB @Ticketek_AU Unfortunately not. A reserve seating, total $414.60 for two tickets. That’s what I paid, not marking up price at all. Saturday 17 Feb.

[Sarah Boyle @Sboyle01]

@B_ekki @Ticketek_AU I had the same issue!! I’ve got four Sydney tickets now 🤦🏻‍♀️ Only need two. But it wasn’t by accident, the website screwed me!

I don't mind anyone mourning the Queen the way they feel is right. What is strange is expecting that everyone else would feel the same way. Many parts of the world don't share the same version of history the Western World told itself.

[Hugh Riminton @hughriminton]

Really powerful (and funny) speech from ⁦@EmRusciano⁩ at the #NPC on #ADHD. Worth tracking down or listening in. By the time they reach adulthood, neuro-divergent kids have received 20,000 more negative pieces of feedback than those without ADHD, she says. Quite a thought.

[Guardian Australia @GuardianAus]

Comedian + writer @EmRusciano has given an emotional account of her journey to being diagnosed with ADHD in her 40s. During an address at the @PressClubAust, she said her diagnosis uncovered a ‘terrifying fragility’ and ‘triggered enormous grief’.

[Nishadh Rego @ntrego88]

Brave, powerful, consequential words from Moz Azimitabar, all the more so in speaking to a Minister in the Government that detained him for years.

It’s time for Moz and so many others to have certainty & a proper chance to build their lives in Australia. #auspol #9yearstoolong

[Kathryn (she/ her) @KathrynLAllan]

It is worth remembering that whilst it is legal to terminate a pregnancy in Australia, it is still wildly inaccessible.

Rural & regional Australians have limited access to healthcare providers.

It costs $250- over $500 in VIC, QLD, ACT, NSW, TAS & WA.

We can do better.

[Daniel Crosby @danielcrosby]

I used to drink tons of Diet Coke but it’s been one month since I’ve had a drop.

I want to share some of the changes I’ve observed in myself over that time:

- My health is unchanged
- I’m less happy
- My one source of joy is gone

Thanks for encouraging me on this journey!
