How does it feel being the modern day James Hardie, with propaganda and everything?

This is just “banning asbestos won’t solve asbestosis”.

There’s no safe level of silica exposure.

Racism isn't about whether or not you identify as a racist.

[Senator Briggs (Biblically Accurate) @Briggs]

Racism isn’t always interpersonal. The real insidious nature of racism is propelled by vapid minds like this one here.

[Catherine Turner @mscatherinet]

Yuh huh. Trickle down economics is alive and well.

[Adam Liaw @adamliaw]

I genuinely find it hard to wrap my head around the fact that we've created a financial system where, when ordinary people find it hard to make ends meet, our main mechanism of economic control is to force them give more of their money to private banks making billions of dollars.

@NetballAust It’s 2022 already. Extraordinary cockup to align yourself with this brand.

[Catherine Turner @mscatherinet]

So damaging for @NetballAust and our game. Sad day for netball.

Not the kind of culture we want to grow around our game @NetballAust

[Penelope Joy @LopeyPen]

This makes me wild! (glad it makes a few others wild as well) 🤬As @NetballAust eyes betting sponsorship, women & girls are at increased risk of gambling harm @Doc_Samantha https://t.co/sSxOYGgujJ via @ConversationEDU #Netball ping @mscatherinet @gerrybean44 @TonyRMilne

Essential services should never be about the shareholders. People before profit.

Children's social care should be not-for-profit - spending large amounts of money on small numbers of children in care isn't new, or unique to the UK, and needs a closer look #championsforchildren #childrenfirst

@lilymandarin @LopeyPen @shesaidwhat25 @SezClom @gerrybean44 They call them Scungies in Sydney. Or at least they did 30 years ago

Sad to see trans people used as a political football this election. It seems everyone gets to have an opinion except trans people themselves #auspol

@LopeyPen @SatPaper @LopeyPen I’ve literally just written a strong email to the landlord about this because he won’t pay to fix the leak

Props to #4corners for uncovering these important stories.

So awesome to work with these amazing people

Significant numbers of young people during this lockdown period have experienced mental health concerns & need our ongoing support & care. A message of encouragement from our @Barnardos_Aus youth workers https://t.co/pIbKnsDGUL

Scott Morrison’s spent $3.6 billion in assistance for pandemic related lockdowns.

Last year, he gave fossil fuel giants $10.3 billion in handouts.

The money’s always been there - but he’s not in power to help *you*.

[Catherine Turner @mscatherinet]

In that case I'll actually watch Q and A

[Catherine Turner @mscatherinet]

@bronya_l Hello from quiet Sydney :)

[Catherine Turner @mscatherinet]

@bronya_l @em_kertesz I'm curious about these. Worth it?

[Catherine Turner @mscatherinet]

Keen to join the blocked by @harveynormanau bandwagon. Is this where I sign up?

[Sally Neighbour @neighbour_s]

One inaccuracy I must correct. Christian Porter today accused me of lying. This is false. No money was paid to Mr Porter. There was no apology. The story remains online.

[Verity Firth @VerityFirth]

The parents' reactions say it all - 'it's not all boys' 'other schools do it too' - deflection & refusal to accept responsibility. With parenting role models like this, no wonder the boys grow up thinking they live under a special set of rules. #Shore https://t.co/djsckO7XhS
