Delighted to learn that the @UN_HRC has just renewed the mandate of the #IESOGI; as humbled & honoured as the first day to continue serving persons, communities and peoples affected from discrimination and violence based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Congratulations to 🇦🇺’s @RosemaryKayess for her resounding re-election to the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
🇦🇺 wishes success to all #CRPD members in your critical work to build a better future for all people with disabilities.
@SenatorWong
An issue important to @RosemaryKayess, 🇦🇺's candidate to the #CRPD, 2023-2026:
"Inclusive education, where all children are educated together regardless of impairment, provides an environment in which children experience diversity. As adults, they (then) expect diversity"📺👇
To the 4.4 million disabled kids & kids-at-heart across Australia. You are not a burden, you are totally fabulous. I am proud to be part of our community and I am in solidarity with you all tonight 💚 #auspol#disabilitypride
It hurts my heart, and fills me with no small measure of rage, to see so many amazing disabled people and their parents work so hard to advocate and educate, only to have a PM with privilege and a huge public platform publicly say he's 'blessed' to have kids without disabilities.
#KingdomNL expresses its profound disappointment that the HRC rejected renewal of the only reporting mandate on #Yemen. The votes did not reflect a position of principle, but a result of diplomatic pressure. Today the @UN_HRC has let the Yemeni people down. #HRC48#KingdomNLinHRC
Why wasn’t there a clawback provision in the original JobKeeper plan for businesses that didn’t have a downturn? @leighsales asks Treasurer @JoshFrydenberg#abc730#auspol
Look, I don’t want to stay in lockdown a minute longer than necessary & I am prepared to trust the experts advice on this. What makes me anxious is our neo-lib leaders using the advice for their own ends & rushing us back too soon. Am I wrong?
Because of bullying, young #LGBTIQ+ people are at higher risk of dropping out of school. Let’s demand a safe & inclusive education for everyone – no matter who they are or whom they love. RT if you agree! #InclusiveEducation
Thank you to the amazing @intel drone light show team who produced a #WeThe15 light show, featuring over 1,000 drones. They created multiple designs including the #WeThe15 hashtag and symbol.
