Bought an aircon online from @mattblattfurniture. Installed in my window before i realised that it was 1.75 kW and they had advertised it as 2kW. Their solution - a $50 'credit' so i can buy more furniture online from them. I sooooo don't want to have to go to CA over $50. Sigh

Why is this well-off white man, who's paid over $500,000 a year just to do his job, being portrayed as some type of hero?

Yet again the #AusOfTheYear awards are diminished by the elevating of men in highly paid careers being rewarded above heroic unrecognised people among us.

centrefornonviolence talk about combining men’s and women’s services in FV #buildingfromstrength

[SallyAThompson @SallyAThompson]

Isolation both a cause and consequence of FV #buildingfromstrength

Interventions must be understood within a broader social understanding of the person. Interventions in mental health and AOD that ignore FV unlikely to work: Barb McQuarrie #BuildingFromStrength

[SallyAThompson @SallyAThompson]

#bulidingfromstrength Barb McQuarrie: in low violence societies families and neighbors see it as their responsibility to intervene in FV

This story about regulation of registered charities is very easily conflated with private/public school funding. All charities are prohibited from using their voice and resources for or against a particular party or candidate #thedrum

@indica2007 It’s Twitter FFS - write how you want. Your writing is perfectly understandable. Comments about spelling and grammar are just another way to silence working class and marginalized people.

This is our policy advisor Dev after @DanielAndrewsMP told the #GoodLife Summit his government will top up current community sector pay following Fair Work’s 2017 determination.

#AgedCare is currently not based on enhancing life.

[SallyAThompson @SallyAThompson]

#AgedCare Prof.John Pollaers says industry is driven by guilt and anger. Guilt at outsourcing care for ppl we love then anger when it goes wrong.

@DrMel_T @PPingletonsMum Problem with sociopaths they tend to attract sociopaths because others are crushed rather quickly so you end up with a nest of them.

Please don’t ask me to be on any panel where women are not at least 50%. If it’s a panel of 5 including moderator than 2 of panellists have to be women

Otherwise give my spot to a woman. I know lots of incredible women I could recommend especially WoC, CALD, Indigenous women.
