Might tweet about Papua New Guinea, public transport, cricket, netball, politics or whatever I feel like. Opinions aren't my own, they come from a higher being.

Meanwhile, in the world's largest democracy...the assault on Indian farmers bargaining power, the brutality against protesters, the suppression of the media and the internet is a pretty big deal. #FarmerProtests amp-abc-net-au.cdn.ampprojec…
Michael McCormack, Acting PM re racial abuse - "Australia’s performance in this Test so far has been very solid – the team won’t be distracted by this as they push on to victory."
The Aussies won't be distracted? They weren't the ones being abused!
As a @westernbulldogs member, I am really proud that the club has got rid of its poker machines. However, simply handing pokies over to someone with a lower moral threshold does absolutely nothing to reduce problem gambling.

The #budget measure you didn't notice. Australia to block visas for foreign partners if they don't speak English. The measure will reap the government $5 million.

This #Budget2020 is absolute class warfare and filled with ideology. A permanent tax cut of $2400 for those earning the most while the unemployed get reduced to the pre-covid rate of $40 per day. I am staggered. #auspol
Most former Prime Ministers can offer some wisdom and insight but clearly not Tony Abbott. Keep up the far right UK think tank speaking gigs, mate, because nobody else wants to hear from you.
It looks like there is rising trend of punters abusing sports players on social media when a bet doesn't go their way. The @fl really has to look at its relationship with gambling.
On the AFL community moral compass, staging for a free kick is a capital offence while workplace sexual assault is 'not a good look' but really just boys being boys.

There are more than 7,000 varieties of sweet potato worldwide & 1,000 in #PNG. But global agro-giants are now patenting hybrids with features like better pest resistance. Phil Fitzpatrick worries this may extinguish the non-commercial cultivars pngattitude.com/2019/10/coul…
Sport's role in human rights. Brilliant address by Craig Foster. Higginbotham Lecture at RMIT on 17 September via The Ticket podcast.

Anyone wondering why some in fed and state Labor and the coalition are reluctant to talk about Crown... watch this space over coming days and weeks. Who has things to hide? Why aren’t our pollies on front foot about Crown, national security and fighting organised crime?

The 2006 Commonwealth Games showed how it's possible to move huge crowds in and out of the MCG without their cars ruining Yarra Park.
Time to provide #MoreServicesPlease on trams, trains and buses, and look at combined event/PT ticketing. xitter.cf/YarraCarPark/status/11…
This is appalling but more so the response from the NT Government and the Chief Judge.
This judge has a history of vilifying statements.

World Cups aren't all about the elites, Lisa. If we want a more even contest, let's put some more money into emerging #Netball nations. #NetballWorldCup2019
