Back of the envelope calculation: if Twitter is worth $44 billion and you are in the 1% of the 206 million daily active users responsible for generating the bulk of Twitter's value, your individual Twitter presence is worth, let's say, $20K. A nice supplemental freelance gig!

@AusElectoralCom Thanks for swift reply & for referring it on.

@AusElectoralCom online postal application form doesn’t cater for apostrophes in family name. O’😔

Today’s @TheNewDailyAu column: in most developed countries, houses have become cheaper relative to income over 40 years, while in Australia the relative price has more than doubled, which has changed the economy and society

@lhjh70 I thought only applicable for Sundays/public holidays & must be clearly conveyed so you know prior to ordering. Glad it was a lovely meal...

Ukraine, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, it doesn't matter. War is war. Our condolences to those who lost everything without having a choice. Having more empathy would be an achievement for humanity

So we can call Code Red for ambulance service, Code Brown for hospitals but aged care - nothing. #auspol #springst #AgedCare

This shows how @richardmcolbeck spent three days at the Ashes. During that time 1,479 #agedcare residents contracted #COVID and 36 died from it. Almost 20,000 staff and residents now have it. Two thirds of all nursing home affected. Largest % of deaths. Why so little coverage?

There are 2,700 aged care homes in Australia. There are active COVID outbreaks in 1,107 of them. A monumental failure by the Commonwealth to protect some of Australia’s most vulnerable people. @amapresident @anmf_federal @theMJA @gerontologyau @AHSRI_UOW @ACSANational @abcnews

A few weeks ago I stood by a man who was staring at the wall and smoking. It was his son's birthday, he told me. He turned eight. I was shocked. This man has been in a cage for his son's whole life.

Detentions has created so many tragedies.

It's so sad that so many journalists contacted me yesterday to ask me about Djokovic. I've been in a cage for 9 years, I turn 24 today, and all you want to talk to me about is that.

Pretending to care by asking me how I am and then straight away asking questions about Djokovic.
