@janet_rice What is really disappointing is that rather than focusing on that, they are opting focus on rolling out the cashless debit card which really does to show how out of touch #auspol is for #Australians
@JillHennessyMP@drkerrynphelps Having this win adversely affects the social fabric and legitimacy of these awards. What frustrates me is that she doesn’t have an understanding of the consequences of her communication, each week a woman loses her life, and yet she fuels the culture that allows that to continue.
@drkerrynphelps Well I mean, don’t we have a long history of locking vulnerable people in offshore ‘processing’ centres that lack adequate medical support and human dignity? - actually this time we will make people pay for it as well!
@Indigocathy Safe electoral seats are routinely passed over for funding and support because there is no party incentive to fight for them (where as pooling money for marginal seats or to protect key members is the preferred thing to do) which is to be honest - a disgusting part of #auspol
@SophieTrevitt @AmyThunig This issue is exacerbated when there are gag laws in Tasmania and NT. The social sphere that works to silence victims whilst giving a platform perpetrators really needs to rethink its priorities.
"Police rejected nearly 12,000 sexual assault reports on the basis that they do not believe a sexual assault occurred."
In some areas, this was as many as 1 in 4 complaints being rejected as 'unfounded'. No wonder women don't come forward. #auslaw

When it comes to health our culture is obsessed with #gettingfit and #exercise but there is zero support for activities to be accessible and you’re supposed to emerge into summer having secretly trained over winter?
@MaralynParker Surely there are some red flags in terms of conflict of interest with all of the funding going towards that - why isn’t anyone doing anything?
The Big Issue Environment just realeased this article on the impact on #AustraliaBushfires on our homeless population, we were advised to stay indoor to avoid #AirPollution but many people didn’t have that choice - most of whom are vulnerable. https://t.co/PKgaBfACd3
@lauramoates I seriously hope that there are at least subsided cost for those from rural and regional areas (especially for those who rely solely on government benefits) because they are going to be disproportionately affected by high prices.
@abcnews It really frustrates me when the price of fruit and vegs goes up because it only creates more health problems for those who have low income and struggle with affording meals (let along nutritious ones) to being with.
@ConversationEDU I’m currently experiencing so much climate anxiety around #AustralianBushfires and just hoping that it doesn’t get worse. It’s not about preventing the CO2, it’s not wanting my children to inherit the problems that they didn’t create.
The AMA is seeking discussions with health authorities about the long-term effects of poor air quality, following weeks of smoke-filled air in the ACT, NSW and Victoria #airquality#AustraliaBurning#AustralianFires https://t.co/sgsNpHWaAL
@MJPhotographer @jo1foster@drkerrynphelps@AustralianOpen Well, most people like to believe that that these organisations have their best interest (as a minimum - health and well-being) at heart.
Buzzfeed: We have the receipts 💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼 anyone who isn’t outraged about the hypocrisy is probably contributing to #MeganMarkle reason for wanting #megixt
