Honoured to read the beautiful, heartbreaking poetry of Mohammad Ali Maleki at this #SixYearsTooLong rally in Hobart today (excuse the croaky voice). Also to hear the words of @Shamindan1 and @NickMcKim (who just landed in Tassie, after being deported from Manus) #CloseTheCamps
After what felt like MONTHS waiting for #thehalflifeofvaleryk to be released in Australia, I'm proud to say I devoured it in a day! Thank you @natasha_pulley for writing such an absorbing and affecting story full of profound, lovable characters who always do the best they can
This would be an absolute dream! I'm currently reading The Ladies of Grace Adieu, after devouring Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (and a great conversation with the woman who sold it to me who was about to start reading Watchmaker)
@natasha_pulley @BloomsburyPub@BloomsburyBooks That cover looks stunning, and I absolutely can't wait to read the book! Do you have any information on when it will be released in Australia?
The AMA is concerned the NSW Govt plan to start reopening lacks important details incl. modelling future cases & impacts on the health system, and ignores warnings that easing when contact tracing is already overwhelmed leads to more cases and greater burden on the health system.

So @katemclennan1 and I are making a new show! It’s a murder comedy set in Lutruwita/Tasmania and it’s called Deadloch and it’ll be on @PrimeVideoAUNZ. The team we’ve assembled for it is *wildly* good and we are all so bloody jazzed for you to watch xx https://t.co/ZP66pCD2fa
Last night, an MSF clinic in #Gaza City where we provide trauma and burn treatment was damaged by Israeli aerial bombardment of the area around it, leaving a sterilization room unusable and a waiting area damaged.

Imagine being appointed by God to serve as PM of Australia! What a wonderful opportunity to provide care for the poor, the sick, the homeless, the aged, to provide protection to refugees, to ensure the safety of women & children fleeing DV, and to act on climate change.😔 #auspol
Another two First Nations People have died in custody today. This is a national crisis.
That's 7 recent deaths, and 476+ deaths since the RC into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody came out. 30 years later, the full recommendations have been left ignored. Shame!
No justice. No peace.
I’ve signed this petition for a @peoplesvaccine because I believe, no matter where you live in the world, you have the right to COVID-19 vaccine. It’s also the only way to stay ahead of the virus and get our lives back on track. #PeoplesVaccine

In Aust. Ms Dhu died in custody for unpaid fines. A victim of Dom violence. Asked for medical assistance didn’t receive it. Mr Ward a respected elder, blew over the limit. Put in a police van & transported 4hrs without A/C. Was literally cooked alive, no charges 1/8
