I live in a society and environment, not an economy. Just trying to be kind. Living on unceded land of the Kulin Nation.

A thread about Parliament, power and photo ops.

When I was 20, I visited Parliament with a group of young women advocating for gender equality.

We were told we would meet Scott Morrison. We waited next to groups of school kids. He went around the circle posing with each group.

Abridged thoughts. Happy new year, ⁦@vanOnselenP⁩ #auspol

[💥Dr💥 Julia Baird @bairdjulia]

A quiet reminder that when Justice Kenneth Hayne, head of royal commission into banking misconduct, refused to smile or even shake the hand of the Treasurer during a photo op in 2019, it was not considered the stuff of national calamity.

@TamePunk is making a similar point.

The Government is now "putting out the welcome mat" to international students because we're short of workers. Perhaps they should have thought of that last year before they abandoned the students to food banks. #auspol

Australia Open, but instead of tennis we just open the doors at Park Hotel and let the refugees out

Djokovic is out. Now let the refugees go.

This catastrophe was visited upon us by leaders – Perrotet and Morrison in particular – on the grounds they were protecting the economy. Like a Mafia kingpin extorting money, this is the kind of “protection” that can kill you. https://t.co/NS957W9Nyf via @ConversationEDU

I’m so honoured to accept the 2021 Edna Ryan Grand Stirrer Award! 🙌

This year I’ve been reminded of the power of disclosure.

Sharing the unvarnished truth of your lived experience and hearing in response that it’s happened to others as well.

Pathetic political power play from ⁦@JoshFrydenberg⁩ over Victoria’s lockdowns before state reaches 70% double vax and nearly 2000 daily COVID infections. If federal government had secured sufficient vaccines Victoria would have been unlocked months ago.
