I think a lot of elderly people know in their heart of hearts that they shouldn't be driving.
But they take the risk to keep doing it because in a car-dependent society, giving up driving means giving up life.
I'm running for parliament because we need change.
Labor’s red doesn’t represent social-democratic values. It represents the blood of Palestinians killed in Gaza while Labor signs deals with weapons companies that are arming Israel. It represents those who will die because of homelessness, the gutting of the NDIS, the near abolition of public housing programs that our Prime Minister benefited from before pulling up the ladder behind himself. It represents the First Nations people who continue to die in custody.

it would suck to live in Ancient Greece. you’re making a smoothie at Greek Jamba Juice and a customer goes “you’re so good at making smoothies! perhaps even better than the gods” and suddenly Opora, the goddess of fruit harvests, has turned you into a mango
Imagine how good it would be if the ATO sent landlords’ maintenance claims on their tax returns to renters for approval.
Like hey, did this actually happen? Of course not. Straight to jail. X
The Allan government has just announced a taskforce to crack down on dodgy rentals.
I’ve given this government a lot of negative feedback recently over their lack of action for renters, and rightly so.
However, when Labor do the right thing, it makes me very happy. This is a (very small) win for renters struggling with an oppressive power imbalance. It’s the government’s job to prosecute, not renters’.
Thanks to Gabrielle Williams’ office for letting me know :)

Olympian Melissa Hoskins had a right to be safe in her home.
Instead, she was killed by husband Rohan Dennis, while the media now praise his cycling career & dilute her name.
Australia is in a domestic violence crisis. Our failing media isn't helping #MelissaHoskins#SayHerName
I grew up in a Zionist household, spent 12 years in a Zionist youth movement, lived 4 years in Israel, and have friends and family who served in the IDF.
When that is your world, it's hard to see apartheid when it's happening.

everytime a gently alive elected liver spot wheezes into a mic to say the country can afford to blow a trilly on a New War they hallucinated but my student loans w suicidal interest can’t be forgiven I ask the same Q: why are the ppl LEAVING the restaurant ordering for the table?
Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator
