#BREAKING: Unionised workers at the mining giant's operations in Port Hedland will down tools for eight hours on July 16. https://t.co/6ESkP4ihck

[Indira Jaising @IJaising]

Bad day for workers , back to the days of hire and fire , no jobs

[Indira Jaising @IJaising]

Women dissent , women disrupt the status quo, thank you Justuce Nagarathna , even though we sometimes disagree with your views

[Indira Jaising @IJaising]

Celebrating seven years of live streaming judgment: ‘Indira Jaising vs Secretary General, Supreme Court’. All credit to former CJI U U Lalit for bringing the judgment into force which introduced transparency & accountability in the functioning of judiciary.

[Indira Jaising @IJaising]

Is this man fit to b a judge ? He claims , falsely , that all women of a particular village go to the leader on getting married on” fist night” they are then “ second hand” The same judge who apologised to the SC for his obscene and anti secular comments i ⁦@TheLeaflet_in⁩

@JoshBBornstein @JoelRembach I am very sorry. I have seen this disease and lived it. Nothing can fill the void. I am sorry for your loss.

Funniest thing I read today. It is so tragic that it is hilarious.

“The rule of religion is replacing the rule of law.... My rebellion as a woman, my right to work, my liberties which are guaranteed by the constitution — there is no other source of inspiration I can turn to.”

We stand with the people of #Gaza. #FreePalestine #HumanRights don't just belong to the West.

[Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi]

Allies. We need you now more than ever. Palestinians are not just mourning, we’re shouting into the void, and we’re losing our jobs and getting attacked on the street and arrested for protesting. We need you present, we need you consistent, we need you loud and clear.

The racist reality of a country hoping to build itself economically on the shoulders of immigrants on stolen land. #auspoll #Referendum2023

[Prof Sandy O'Sullivan @sandyosullivan]

If you were ally enough to vote Yes’, then there’s a few things you can do now.
1. Listen to Aboriginal people.
2. Get that this isn’t about you.
3. The hand-wringing surprise that Australia is racist is insulting. We’ve said it for years. Stop denying, and work to change it.

[Divya Patpatia @likealilum]

Mourning the social and political will of a nation that fails to take ownership of its historic failures and provide a ray hope for equality. Recognising the traditional owners does not end at symbol gestures and art exhibits. #Referendum2023 #VoiceToParliament #YesToVoice

[Divya Patpatia @likealilum]

There is nothing more devastating than a nation collectively crushing hope for change.

[Laura Jayes @ljayes]

🚨 BREAKING

There will be a big announcement later tonight.

Prominent Indigenous leaders see this as a huge rejection. They see no hope for reconciliation

Meetings are being held now as to next steps. Likely to be a “period of mourning” from tomorrow.

@CherylSaunders1 Splendid!

@isabelkaplan @karunanundy Part 2 : The women's rights lawyer in me was fighting family for her dignity. My husband let me make national news about the incident. He fought the government in Australia and family in India for me. He is now helping me live my dream of helping women around me. He fights for me

[Divya Patpatia @likealilum]

@isabelkaplan My husband is my preserver and biggest cheerleader. Two years ago, I narrowly escaped murder and rape in a racially motivated hate crime. I was tortured by a stranger. I live with permanent emotional and physical damage. Family and most friends in India only victim blamed me.

[Divya Patpatia @likealilum]

@evolutionofjay 1. Lost family to covid in India.
2. Survived the world's longest lockdown in Melb.
3. Lived through a racist attack, saved myself and other women from being killed and raped for our brown skin.
4. Beat a tumour.
5. Fought depression.
6. Made a new country home.
Phew!!!

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

Workers in Australia didn’t resign from their jobs in the wake of COVID, but they did burn out.

💼 As @leahruppanner + colleagues (@UniMelb) found, "flexible workers had more energy for their work and a greater motivation to do their jobs". https://t.co/UCOrnoJmCm

[Jimmy Carr @jimmycarr]

I bloody love Melbourne.

[Karuna Nundy @karunanundy]

These people have as little self awareness as a comfy chair.

[Aarti Betigeri @pomegranitaa]

Another day, another conversation with an Uber driver who has spent $170k on Australian degrees (MA, ANU), but can’t work in his field because visa. There’s a disconnect here: if migrants are investing this much in us, surely we can give them a leg up?
