The men who can only relate to women via the women they are in fact related to (as a husband & father et al) reveal their own sexism & narcissism. They cannot see women as people in their own right, only through some connection to him!

Everyone deserves to be safe in their workplace.

It's clear more needs to be done in Parliament House to make that happen.

This story is deeply distressing.

@JasonWardCICTAR This is great work, it’s clear who’s pulling the levers with the Morrison government. No wonder they don’t want a Federal ICAC.

[Jason Ward @JasonWardCICTAR]

CICTAR provided the Senate with evidence of 10 multinationals with a track record of local and global tax dodging who received over $56B in federal contracts since 2007. They keep winning more contracts... Shame!

@ellyhowse Anything by Cory Doctorow if you want speculative fiction with a leftish anarchist small the corporate state vibe. Also Max Barry for a local version of the same.

[meethod @meethod313]

@ellyhowse Kate Forsyth anything or Jackie French (loved the Miss Lily series). You can borrow any of the above btw.

You know what makes me sad? I filled in the LNP feedback form and explained how they can help regional economies and they didn’t take my feedback on board! 🙄

[Melissa Donnelly @DonnellyMel]

Govt to slash APS departments from 18 to 14 but nothing in this plan to deal with the real problems. Due to staffing cap people wait longer on hold to Centrelink, Fam Court queues blow out, govt IT systems don’t work, lack of support for regional Australia https://t.co/dzIBma6Sgg

@vealmince They don’t all have to be on the autism spectrum?

@Michtull @CPSUnion Too right! A good government would stop cutting #ATO jobs in Newcastle and Geelong. Healthy Regional economies are the future for sustainable Australia

[Wayne Swan @SwannyQLD]

The white anting of Medicare by private health and the Liberals to Americanise our health system never stops. And it’s only two months since the election! #auspol

[Michael Tull @Michtull]

This guy voted for an $11,000 per year tax cut for the top 5% of income earners. His concerns about benefitting the wealthy are clearly bogus. What he’s opposed to is employers sharing more of their profits with the workers who generate those profits.

[Michael Tull @Michtull]

The increasing complexity of the labour market & economy is exactly when we need more & better data & analysis. But the fed Govt have cut staff & budgets for the public service Depts & agencies we rely on. Time to rebuild the PS research capacity.

[Julia Gillard @JuliaGillard]

Thanks to Kate, who passed this note to me on a flight recently. I didn’t get to meet you to thank you, but I really appreciate your generous words.

[Michael Tull @Michtull]

One of the first things the newlly elected PM said was that he wanted to fix government services...this tweet from @Asher_Wolf has a really good clue about what needs to get done...

[Michael Tull @Michtull]

a) we need rules about the Govt using AI to make decisions.
b) we must prevent algorithmic discrimination.
c) Morrison Govt’s plan to privatise our visa system is a disaster waiting to happen.

good read: why fixing the staffing cap is central to fixing the #NDIS
