@CallissClan Thank you!

I wrote to the Health Minister about this yesterday. Women with breast cancer and endometriosis will be denied a critical drug "for commercial reasons", while men with prostate cancer will still be able to access it.

Our PBS is still awaiting the reform called for by the Health Technology Assessment review, and that's costing vulnerable Australians.

@farrm51 Probably fourth now that mentor Tony Abott is breathing down his neck.

Cute Chalmers line: Angus Taylor is coming third in a two-horse race.

Truth bombs incoming. 💣🔥💣🔥💣🔥

The Australian’s Editor at Large Paul Kelly argues that Pauline Hanson is completely unequipped to be Prime Minister, urging voters to use common sense and look closely at her political limitations.

Another confusing, incoherent and bewildering interview on the AUKUS fiasco from Richard Marles on ABC 7.30.
No straight answers, no final cost, no delivery dates and no guarantees of ever getting a sub.
This is a major political and strategic weakness for the ALP government!

Gradually, relentlessly, the billionaires seize control of the media, with Trump cheering them on from his bedroom…

[Michael Pascoe @MichaelPascoe01]

Yes, this is the Liberal Party, fully Murdoch.

Sally McManus fires back at One Nation's working class appeal: "Pauline Hanson is consistent consistently voting against worker's rights."

Citing Hanson's consistently opposition to unfair dismissal laws, penalty rates, and wage theft protections. #Auspol

BHP just threatened us with costs. They refused to respond to media inquiries, sued us out of the blue, demanded the case be suppressed, and now are trying to get us to pay their legal costs for our request to the Court to get out of being sued.

BBC PAID A WOMAN HALF A MAN SALARY FOR THE SAME JOB AND THOUGHT NO ONE WOULD NOTICE

Carrie Gracie spoke fluent Mandarin. Ran the @BBC Beijing bureau. Thirty years of service. One of four international editors at Britain's most prestigious broadcaster.

Then the BBC was legally forced to publish salary data in 2017. Gracie looked at the list. Her male counterpart covering North America was on up to £249,000. She was below £150,000. Not even on the published list. Neither was Europe editor Katya Adler. The two women. Funny that.

She had explicitly made equal pay a condition of taking the China role. The BBC said yes. Then paid her nearly half anyway and apparently hoped she'd never check.

She checked.

She asked for equal pay. The BBC, with the confidence of an institution that had been getting away with this for decades, offered her a raise that still left her short.

She turned it down. Resigned from the post. Published an open letter to the licence fee payers explaining exactly what their public broadcaster was doing with their money.

The BBC's response was to put her through nearly a year of their own internal grievance process. Run by the same institution she was complaining about. Investigating itself. Shockingly, it went nowhere.

It took three separate meetings with the Director-General and the concrete threat of an employment tribunal before the BBC caved, issued a public apology, and paid her £361,000 in backdated wages.

She gave every single penny to the Fawcett Society (@fawcettsociety).

A publicly funded broadcaster. Breaking equality law. Caught red-handed. Dragging a 30-year employee through a year of institutional theatre. Paying up only when a judge became a realistic possibility.

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

The Major Projects Report, the public's main window into how our biggest defence purchases are tracking, is being dumped.

This is due to Defence choosing to strip information out of it & the Audit Office's funding being cut in real terms.

National security can't be a shield to dodge basic transparency. If a project is late or over budget, Australians deserve to know.

Govt should fund the ANAO properly and let it do its job.

Unfortunately, the current level of supplies for our air defense does not allow us to intercept a significant share of missiles. Last night, there were hits. 130 people were injured. Tragically, 22 people were killed, including two children. My condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones.

We know from intelligence that another large-scale strike may come as soon as tonight. All our partners together, and everyone in Europe, should continue working to ensure missiles for our air defense, as well as the systems, critical intelligence, and other things that help to save lives.

It is crystal clear that Europe needs its own anti-ballistic system with sufficient volumes and strength to guarantee protection against any threat.

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

Apart from anything else, I’d say that Charlie Pickering has seriously offended a large chunk of his potential audience that was prepared to give him a go. Dumb with a capital D.

@SkyNewsAust host signs off friendly interview with Opposition Treasury spokesperson, Tim Wilson with the words "thankyou for your time, mate", like use of chummy first names by interviewers on the same channel, shrinking gap between journalism and advocacy, for record.

@JJKALE2 Seriously, I try to ignore her. It's not hard.

@ori_goldberg My lovely niece had the same procedure. We were terrified. She came through it incredibly well. I hope the same for you.
