The govt urgently needs to change its messaging. Ppl are fed up hearing that ending gendered violence is ‘everyone’s responsibility’, & that no single govt or institution can fix it. No, you can’t fix it unilaterally. But if it’s everyone’s responsibility, who is accountable?
I guess I just wish that Morrison had responded to his own mental health concerns by pushing for similar treatment being made available to other people who need it.

The decision of three actors in the Sydney Theatre Company's new production of The Seagull to wear the keffiyeh during curtain call sparked a frenzy of condemnation from members of the Jewish community. @latingle spoke to @louiseadler. #abc730
As a proud unionist I recognise all workers speaking out for a #FreePalestine, from healthcare workers who signed a thousands-strong petition demanding a lasting #Ceasefirenow to the STC cast members who donned keffiyehs on opening night.
Global solidarity is union business.
