Another Women’s Budget Statement on Budget night. This is a good thing. But other countries also have Children’s Budget Statements reinforcing accountabilities across portfolios for child health, learning and wellbeing. Maybe next year?

You know what isn't happening? Being driven off Twitter a week before #TransAwarenessWeek. #TransgenderAwarenessWeek is Nov 13-19 this year. Flooding timelines with #TransAffirmingTweets is absolutely a thing, so let's do that. #IndigiQueer #IndigiTrans

My heart goes out to the family of Cassius Turvey. I can’t imagine the thought of a loved one being taken from me by a racist with a metal pole. The racist is a murderer. But the racism of the Australian public is also complicit for creating the environment for this to happen

Just finished watching @4corners I don’t think I even have the right words for the emotions felt listening to families of murdered and missing Aboriginal women. @bridgeyb shared these stories cantering the humanity of the women. They are loved, missed and should still be with us.

Thorpe’s treatment is a clear demonstration that the standards of political accountability are determined by race and gender in this place.
Yeah… when one-in-8 Australians are living in poverty there’s a lot of work to do at the core of our society. Reduced Suicide will surely be one of many positive by-products of improved welfare and social care
