Good morning Australia. Penny Wong will be our Foreign Minister.

This makes me inexplicably happy

Of all the meeting platforms we've used over the last 2 years, Zoom is the one I love most.

Most of us think we know Zoom inside out.

But we don't.

Here are 7 Zoom hacks you probably haven't heard of, but you'll be glad you now know.

Brittany Higgins received a standing ovation EXCEPT from MINISTER FOR WOMEN Marise Payne, MINISTER FOR WOMEN'S SAFETY Anne Ruston, and MEMBER OF WOMEN'S TASKFORCE Jane Hume

Unbelievable.

The LNP's attitude to women on full display

A quiet reminder that when Justice Kenneth Hayne, head of royal commission into banking misconduct, refused to smile or even shake the hand of the Treasurer during a photo op in 2019, it was not considered the stuff of national calamity.

@TamePunk is making a similar point.

[💥Dr💥 Julia Baird @bairdjulia]

The headlines on the ABC on the day a sexual assault survivor was told by prominent commentators to smile more.

[Michelle Grattan @michellegrattan]

Experience of this wave just absolutely reinforces the need - when this is all over - for a royal commission into handling of COVID by federal and state politicians, health and other officials

I guess “living with the virus” means different things to different people:

Children should have an extended holiday until they are vaccinated says MaryLouise McLaws
- an epidemiologist with expertise in hospital infection and infectious diseases control.

Return to school can otherwise be a SUPERSPREADER event

So it’s looking like we will become the First Country in the World to stop tracing number of Covid cases..try and get your head around this..we no longer have the capacity or capability to do this..

Take care people..we are on our own..

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

Rapid antigen tests should be free and available. We are in a pandemic. Everyone needs access.

[Malcolm Farr @farrm51]

Fond memories of two years ago when one the most serious Covid fighting instructions was, “Don’t touch your face.” These days face touching seems so innocent.,

Helpful advice for the current uncontrolled #covid19 outbreak. Preventing transmission is our only way out of this.

[Nick Earls @nickearls]

So now it takes less time to get a result from an Ashes test than it does from a covid test. Never thought I'd see that.

FOUR Sudanese children died in one fire a few weeks ago, where was Morrison

[🤷🏽‍♂️ Smudge @[email protected] @Tony_Harman]

So apparently in NSW I can now go to Woolworths not check in with a QR code or wear a mask, catch #Covid19 from an infected person, not be notified and when I feel rough a week later get tested and it’s my responsibility to tell everybody I’ve been in contact with and die at home

[Dr Kerryn Phelps AM @drkerrynphelps]

So I have a few things to say about the NSW decision to surrender to the #covid19 pandemic https://t.co/UAjExtaX5P

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Omicron is spreading at a rate we have not seen with any previous variant. I need to be very clear: vaccines alone will not get any country out of this crisis.
It’s not vaccines instead of masks, distancing, ventilation or hand hygiene.
Do it all. Do it consistently. Do it well.
