It’s my birthday. For people like me it’s not a celebration. My birth family deny my birthday, my existence. Why? I’m a survivor of child sexual abuse & I spoke out, causing shame…to them. Today I ask that we never stop speaking out. Truth matters. I should’ve been kept safe.✊
A great message from @DrJaneMunro from @RCHMelbourne and @MCRI_for_kids about the important 3 V's Vaccination, Ventilation and Vital Covidsafe steps like masks as children return to school. For further updates check out the RCH Website - https://t.co/ELZYqhp7G0

Huge win from the Boomers. Never underestimate how clutch Patty and Joey were in that last term not to mention Jock Landale. Italy dared him to beat them and he took their offer. He'll be in the #NBA next season. I still think Nick Kay should be joining him there.
Today is the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
FGM is an extreme form of discrimination against women, violates human rights, and has NO health benefits.
It must be prevented: #EndFGM!

The High Court of Australia has today issued its decision on the case involving Cardinal George Pell. I do not intend to comment on that judgement.
But I do wish to address the impact on our community.
