@fifthgen70 Hi Amanda, do you know if it's a planned outage? Those are listed on its website. If not a planned one, I'd be interested in finding out more as well. I'm reporting for ABC Western Plains. Thanks!

@instagram Please help! I made a new account days ago. It was disabled the moment I made it - a community guideline slap. Not sure what as I hadn't posted yet. I've tried multiple ways to contact you. "Help Center" says to log in to report it, but you locked me out. Can you help?

Heartbreaking!

According to the United Nations Human Rights Council, the situation is so desperate for #AfghanWomen that they are committing suicide at a rate of one or two a day.

Please don’t forget about our beloved sisters in Afghanistan.

491 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. 30 days since the Taliban banned women from going to university.

This #EducationDay, amplify the voices of girls in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan - the ONLY country on earth where girls education is banned!

[Shabnam Nasimi @NasimiShabnam]

This is Sumaya. She has been locked up at home for 491 days, banned from going to school or university by the Taliban.

She pleads the world to listen. She begs Afghan girls to try & learn any way they can at home, so that they can rise and stand up for their basic human rights.

Women and girls are being treated as less than animals in #Afghanistan in the name of Islam. The Islamic world? Barely a peep.

Protesters across the Middle East have expressed outrage following the burning of the Quran in Sweden 👇

We’ve been saying from the beginning that if the international community failed to stand up for Afghan women and girls—as it has—harm to women’s rights would spread quickly and globally. No pleasure in being correct; not too late to act. #GenderApartheid

@LiveTrafficSyd Lane Cove tunnel southbound is still closed - I just came through there and they are redirecting traffic to Epping Road for traffic heading towards the city.

@louis20016 No worries, I understand. It must be pretty stressful, especially at this time of year! It wouldn't take more than five minutes if they change their mind. Thanks Louis :)

I am not expressing an opinion, but did promise to conduct this poll.

Should Assange and Snowden be pardoned?

@PSchwartzstein I would hundo percent read this novel. When's it being published?

Zelensky delivering one of his best speeches of yet during this war after Russian missiles strikes against the Ukrainian powergrid causes an almost complete blackout in large parts of eastern Ukraine.

“Without you, always without you!”

Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in @NewYorker https://t.co/cQzbWggk46

@kjmcinnis1 Hi Kathleen, I'm interested in talking to you about hypersonic missiles and ideas around deterrence theory. This is for ABC News Australia. What is the best way to contact you to share more details?
