@KKeneally This is an appalling position for a labor government to take.

If you’re wondering why you are losing the millennial vote to the greens, examine the fallout from supporting this.

@Atticus_Rebma @swimmercrab2 @CouchnComment @AusWomenLawyers We are definitely losing lots of women silks to appointments too. Just not having many appointed silk.

As a survivor of abuse I will say this. Every time you excuse abusive behaviours: you retrigger us, you isolate us, you minimise us. Stop. It doesn’t matter how nice they seem to you. @sarahinthesen8 https://t.co/dZSe1wQCK9

Stop minimising abuse. Silence is the same thing. #DV

Here's my piece in Proctor (the Qld Law Society journal) on why the mistake of fact excuse for rape needs reform @bri_lee_writer @wlsq #ConsentLawQLD

@QLSpresident uses example of picking up the wrong luggage on a carousel to explain the mistake of fact defence... #mistakeoffact

My Netflix prank show idea:

Women agreeing to meet up with the guys that send them unsolicited dick pics, but when the guy arrives, its actually their mother waiting for them.

How many more people must die on Manus and Nauru before Australia ends the cruelty of offshore processing?

AFP: I’m still staggered by the power of this warrant. It allows the AFP to “add, copy, delete or alter” material in the ABC’s computers. All Australians, please think about that: as of this moment, the AFP has the power to delete material in the ABC’s computers. Australia 2019.

Men are uncomfortable. Hardly comparable to the constant fear of violence and harassment women deal with. At work. In public. At home. #metoo

[Michelle Painter SC @MPainterSC]

Incredibly disappointing to see male managers responding to the #MeToo movement by refraining from mentoring or working one-on-one with women: “If men want to be part of the solution, then pulling away from women is the wrong thing to do.”

@kirstinferguson @FiMcLeodSC @JaneNeedhamSC @MCRlaw Yes!! Maybe while you are here you can sway the @QLSpresident to sign the #equitablebriefing policy?

When Hon Justice Sarah Derrington was at UQ she tried to boost the number of female professors. ‘Every woman I asked said she couldn’t take the job because her husband couldn’t leave his job. There are deep societal norms at play that won’t change overnight.’ #Year101Law

[Emma Fitzgerald @emma_mai]

I wish I could have been at this event! Hopefully there is a recording 🤞Queensland lawyers need to hear the fearless honesty of leaders like @JaneNeedhamSC

[Georgie Dent @georgiedent]

‘Listen, believe us and ask your male colleagues to do the same. If we tell you the work environment is hostile, listen, don’t tell me how fine it is,’ @JaneNeedhamSC on what she’d like from men in law. #Year101Law
