You are about to see in real time over the next 4 days how the media can choose who it humanizes and who it villainizes, who is a child and who is a minor, who is a mother and who is an accomplice. Who is a hostage and who is a prisoner. In short who is innocent and who is not.

In our latest ep Jock Serong talks about making the move from lawyer to novelist – from a high paying job to a low paying one – and how he justified it. We had some good laughs! It's a great ep packed with so much good stuff. Listen on Apple here: apple.co/419qfXf

All of Australia are expecting the 15% of people in union membership to change the standard of living - it’s not possible - we need more people in unions @sallymcmanus #AdlWW @adelwritersweek

ABC staff care deeply about making robust, entertaining, investigative content. They work hard, give a lot, ask for little. That's in the DNA. You don't work here to profit. But many staff can now barely cover rent, get loans, or plan for their futures @withMEAA #DontDiscountABC

Trove is critically important. Knowledge, historical information, and access to it ... matters. Now and tomorrow.
Today I raised the concerns of many of my constituents about the defunding of Trove. Trove is an essential service that democratizes knowledge. I call on the government to step up and provide the National Library of Australia with the funding it needs.

Commissioning Openbook's regular feature 'The library that made me' is one of the most fun parts of my job. @HistoryGirlKate was the inaugural columnist and set the bar high. Follow the thread to read her piece and others. More great writers in the pipeline! #LibraryLoversDay
