Hi @ScottMorrisonMP
I'm joining people on Parliament Lawns in Canberra, calling on you to release and resettle refugees still trapped in Aus offshore detention system.
It's time for a release from detention. It's time for permanent resettlement options. It's #TimeForAHome
I offered both Pres Trump and VP Pence an opportunity to reassure Americans.
Simple question: “What do you say to Americans who are scared?”
Trump, to me: “I say, you’re a terrible reporter.”
Pence, an hour later: “Don’t be afraid. Be vigilant.”
News headings from this morning:
- 793 deaths in Italy in one day
- USA cases surge above 21,000
- Ceasing domestic flights in USA
- Two NHS medicos on ventilators
- Global death toll > 11,000
Why are we not doing more in Australia? The time to act is passing us by. #COVID19
@drevejenkins @mcthejourno There are so many other ways to support your community. Social distancing is one. Supporting local business online is another. This is completely irresponsible.
@mcthejourno "get out and about" ? seriously? this is your advice to Brisbane as a deadly virus spreads during the worst global pandemic of our lifetimes? EVERYONE SHOULD STAY HOME. This is terribly irresponsible, consider taking it down please. https://t.co/tFkBbgO4W1
1700 on Monday, 3400 on Wednesday or Thursday, 7-8000 by next weekend. True number by then 70-80,000 possibly. Primary school maths. Someone should go figure. No magic fairy will bring that down. 14-20 days behind Italy. Believe in maths not magic.
@LizCrowe2 on parental guilt - We have incredible power as doctors to help parents heal by absolving feelings of guilt when things go wrong, it may seem obvious but SAY it #DFTB18
