@gemcarey I’m so sleep deprived I first understood this to be that your dog’s physio caught your dog with a joint but was being positive and supportive about it and I was like this is a wild dog story
This discussion on Insiders is really interesting. The Liberal women are suggesting they are sometimes left sitting in office working alone while boys do deals over beers (or golf presumably one of last bastions of big swinging dicks where women aren’t invited)

1. On parliamentary drinking: I covered spill ousting @TurnbullMalcolm. Night before, a bunch of his enemies had loud, raucous drinks. Very young female staffer tiptoed out of male MP’s office with case of wine for them, saw us, looked like rabbit in headlights & scurried away.

Where’s the trauma? #auspol

Today was a day of reckoning around the nation as tens of thousands of Aussies joined the march for women - among them, @Lisa_Wilkinson, who says today was a line in the sand for inaction of rape and sexual assault.
