@DylanHeydon @Wendy_Bacon Umm, Tony Abbott is on the schedule still...

[james norman @jamescnorman]

@Monaghan3Paul @mumbletwits She's right!

[james norman @jamescnorman]

@NicolleFlint Adler is right - you are siding with MccArthyism. We need more clear Jewish voices like Adler's naming your hypocrisy. Her words cut through yours.

@Simonvw @michaelkoziol I don't agree Simon - its the same in Berlin. I just don't think they care as much if a few men want to enjoy themselves in the bushes. They also have women's cruising spots in the Tiergarten in Berlin FYI. It's a little narrow minded to blame the male gays...

My piece in today's @smh We’re becoming a nation of prudes, our nude beaches shut by the nanny state

[Michael Koziol @michaelkoziol]

“If you don’t want to see naked folks, you simply pick another beach. What has happened to Australia’s live-and-let-live egalitarian mentality – especially here in the so-called ‘alternative’ centre of northern NSW?” https://t.co/4Kg9lA3NRT

My piece reflecting on my scooter accident in Estonia - after a month I'm how very much on the mend....

[Guardian Australia @GuardianAus]

There’s a high chance of e-scooter riders landing face-first in accidents as I did. We need ways to make them safer https://t.co/LynB2u1pgy

By reflecting a world in crisis, art can be a powerful part of the climate solution

Artists can open hearts and minds to inspire environmental action, and help grieve the loss and damage already inflicted

My piece on the role art can play reflecting on and grieving the impacts of the climate crisis -

Like empathetic apparitions of an imperilled future – the Climate Guardians’ blend of performance art and peaceful protest aims to elevate climate issues into the hearts and minds..

My dispatch from Malmo - With 160 million watching at home, Electric Fields is about to show the world 65,000 years of Indigenous culture – which ‘is already a beautiful win for Australia

[james norman @jamescnorman]

@michaelidato Hi Michael - just to note, I am here and Malmo and your suggestion that 'The crowds of fans seemed outnumbered by crowds of protesters' is not right. There were isolated protests but way more fans - I know its tempting to hype up the conflict but in this case inaccurate
