Tonight, the Labor Party has been declared the winner of the 2022 federal election. We congratulate @AlboMP on his victory, be it majority or minority.

Mr Albanese has promised to allow our friends Priya, Nades and their girls Kopi and Tharni to return home to Biloela.

#BREAKING: The ABC projects that the Labor Party has defeated Scott Morrison’s Coalition government, and will form the next government of Australia.

Anthony Albanese will be the 31st Prime Minister of Australia.

[Patrick F Conlon @PatrickFConlon2]

I consider myself lucky to have known Anthony Albanese for 30 odd years. He is an unfailingly kind and decent man. He will see being Prime Minister as a duty not an entitlement. We will be a kinder, better nation if he's in charge. I say this from the bottom of my heart.

This is an extraordinary speech. Share it far and wide.

“You are told that this flame will bring freedom to the people of #Ukraine. But the people of Ukraine are already free.” @ZelenskyyUa

This speech will be one for the books of history. #StandWithUkraine

Sometimes, writing hurts.

This one hurt.

My latest piece in @shot_au on "living alongside the virus".

On loss and life (and coffee shops) in our time of covid.

BREAKING: Burra Foods chief executive Stewart Carson confirms a backorder of RAT kits, to be used for its workers, has been seconded by the government. More to come.

[Daniel Bleakley @DanielBleakley]

Remember when right wing politicians and media were screaming for the Victorian government to open up during the second wave?

Can you imagine what would have happened if they did?

[Emma Fletcher @emloufletch]

@lisadivissi I’m so sorry, such a heartbreaking loss.

[Emma Fletcher @emloufletch]

@drnaomi People can be appalling. I'm so sorry.

[Emma Fletcher @emloufletch]

A beautiful read. Thanks Sam.

[Sam Connor @criprights]

Yesterday I received a booster shot. I was at the doctors and he said if I came back in the afternoon about an hour after they started jabs, I’d almost certainly score a cancelled appointment.

I was with five others, all elderly. We spent the next fifteen minutes together.

Let’s be clear. Covid is not inevitable. You don’t HAVE to get Covid. You don’t have to listen to the government telling you it’s all fine. You can be safe and protect yourself. You can wear a mask. You can wear n95. You can look after yourselves and not get Covid.

[Emma Fletcher @emloufletch]

@DeniseDT I'm so sorry, Denise. My youngest two are also still waiting to be vaccinated and this is my biggest fear.
They should have been protected by now.
Hope Willow is okay, and you all stay safe and well x

[Dr Briony Scott @BrionyScott]

Are we close contacts, if teaching in a classroom, all day, with 25 unvaccinated children? And one of them gets covid? Asking for a friend!
