#mymother went to Uni when she was 32 and her eldest were entering high school. Prior to that she was a mother for 20 years and then a nurse - because women could not be doctors right! #auspol2019

My mother too - went to Uni when she was 32 after being a mother for 20 years and then a nurse because women could not be doctors!

@ChinaMattersAUS @JulieBishopMP @jasonyatsenli @MichaelSWesley Excellent. I listened to the whole presentation … worth the time!

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

. @AlboMP right on the money on climate change in this interview. The Green Party as much responsible as the Coalition in preventing Australia from having a carbon price for the last ten years. They should hang their heads in shame.

Moving and important at this time ...

This is genuine solidarity.
I’d heard rumours that Gordon Brown was releasing a video.
No one asked him to stand up to antisemitism and to stand by @JewishLabour
He just did.

Both the physical impact of #climatechange and the transition are likely to have first-order #economics effects. Very interesting read from the #RBA Deputy Gov.

[Malcolm Turnbull @TurnbullMalcolm]

“Droughts have generally been regarded (at least economically) as cyclical events that recur every so often. In contrast, climate change is a trend change. The impact of a trend is ongoing, whereas a cycle is temporary.” thoughtful speech by RBA Governor https://t.co/v8WwBQgSXK

@MarisePayne @LowyInstitute @mfullilove @AusAmbCyber @CyberGovAU @DeptDefence @dfat @MikePBurgess @macgibbon @TFeakin Perhaps a rethink of the Huawei rejection? Australia needs to innovate and without the best 5G that's not going to happen. Broadband is woefully lacking.

@Eliza_Rugg9 @hughriminton @9NewsMelb Outrageous. Am dumbfounded.

Gotta love #australians and their humour. Thanks @InsidersABC for the always wry.

"Swanning around the suburbs that you've never been to in your Burberry trench coat lecturing people about the cost of living - people pick fakes" @DanielAndrewsMP responds to demands for Micahel Kroger to resign following the Liberal's devastating defeat yesterday. #insiders

It was Mark Twain who said “Only fiction has to be credible.” But the @australian satirists outdid Orwell with their editorial today headed “Turnbull moderates blow up a centrist government” A centrist government was blown up; in August and it wasn’t done by moderates.

Well done. Maybe if NSW did the same thing and #Qld and #WA - you get the idea - then the #AustGovt would have to support the #BeltandRoad

Check this out. @JDWilson08 is a thoughtful commentator on these issues, among a handful now seeking to move beyond panic stations on the one hand and unbridled optimism re China's rise on the other.
