Q is someone with a ferocious drive and colossal intellect. A combination which made him the most exceptional AG.

It was a privilege to work with him in government. And so enjoyable, with all his idiosyncrasies.

I’m particularly grateful for the support he gave me.

A tremendous appeal!

Positive, confident and unashamedly reminding us that when we take big steps, the arc of history can always be bent.

Change is nothing to be feared, neither is ignorance an excuse to hide from it.

And, of course, Farnham's song hits all the right notes!

After a hectic few days got to pop in to see my mum in her nursing home.

"Are you happy with your new job".
"Yes mum, very ". ❤

@AMWUSTEVE Thanks Steve. All the best to you as well

[Josh Jerga @josh_jerga]

Absolutely speechless. Beyond devastated to hear of the passing @Russell_Woolf.

One of the most kindest and jovial people you will ever meet.

Thoughts and love to his family. And those at ABC @GeoffHutchison @NadiaMits

Such a bloody tough day

I couldn’t keep quiet this time. Some words from me 🙏🏽♥️

@JacktheInsider @mpbowers As the AG said “we are hopeful that if given the option to complete treatment plans, programs and the like, debtors will be able to address the offending behaviour that led them to come into contact with the justice system ... and reduce the likelihood of them reoffending”.

[Josh Jerga @josh_jerga]

@JacktheInsider @mpbowers The Bill addresses those issues in several ways, one being the introduction of Work and Development Permits whereby someone in hardship can have their fine waived or discharged by undertaking approved activities including eg AOD counselling, mental health or medical treatment

Labor’s 60 per cent first preference vote will elevate several unsuspecting candidates to office including Ayor Makur Chuot, 31, a West Australian whose family fled Sudan because of civil war. #wanews #Perthnews #WAvotes

@lucieboots @abcperth @GeoffHutchison 💯 there was period where it seemed like they were on every bill of every music festival. Hard not to dance to it. And Vitriol. And Broken Leg. @GeoffHutchison should let you choose more of the tunes

[Josh Jerga @josh_jerga]

So deserving. You will not find a harder, more dedicated worker in the game. And a genuinely great bloke.

Stoked for my good mate.

Van Jones was emotional talking about Joe Biden becoming the next President of the United States

[Josh Jerga @josh_jerga]

Dan Palmer didn’t have to tell this story.

It means a lot. It is eloquent. It is potent. It will give strength.

It will provide understanding to those who dismissively roll out the ole sticks & stones

This is deserving of being read by everyone.

Great news out of Victoria today. Thank you so much to everyone there for your efforts to keep your State, and our entire country safe.

Australia will never forget the sacrifices you have made, and today we'll all toast your success.

[Bill Johnston @BillJohnstonMLA]

A historic day for Western Australia’s workplace safety laws. The Work Health and Safety Bill (industrial manslaughter) finally passed the Upper House last night. Thanks to @Unions_WA and @ReganBallantine for all your support https://t.co/vh4L9JOyfl

[Regan Ballantine @ReganBallantine]

#WHSBill passes in the WA Parliament incorporating #industrialmanslaughter laws. Meaning was just given back to a life that was treated as if it were meaningless.
I hope you are proud of me Wes 😇
I stood up for you kiddo.

We promised it. We’re delivering it.

For a decade, the WA Liberals told us why it shouldn’t be built.

When we won in 2017, we got on with the job. We had to start all the work from scratch.

Now funding is secured, contracts signed & early works underway.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

you can see the exact moment Joe Biden's soul left his body as Trump spouted complete nonsense about climate change (h/t @grahamlampa)
