Here’s a photo of my mum with our family’s little marble Ganesha statue. It takes pride of place in her temple.
I asked mum what she thinks of the cartoon, “It generates a lot of anger. They knew who Ganesh is, they did it anyway. It’s disrespectful to people of all faiths.”

It has been great to see so many people ready to roll up their sleeves for WA.
Currently, the vaccine is being rolled out to priority groups.
You will be contacted when it is your turn to #Rollup4WA

'What has gone on in three years; the money that has been spent, the trauma that has been placed on this family ... it just horrifies me.' bit.ly/2OmNWvu

This is institutional cruelty against a family who will make a contribution to Australia if given the opportunity.
Morrison must instruct Dutton to exercise discretion and allow this family to stay in Australia.
Wonder what Jenny has to say about this? abc.net.au/news/2021-02-16/q…

Priya and Nades were married here. Kopika and Tharunicaa were born here. But this family from Biloela in Queensland has spent more than 1,000 days in immigration detention.
I visited Biloela. This community isn’t interested in politics. They just want their friends back.

What does Jenny think of the Biloela family detained on Christmas Island I wonder, two girls now aged 3 and 5
PM said his wife Jen told him last night he had to approach this issue and think of it as a father if it had happened his own daughter @newscomauHQ

A Texas doctor had six hours to administer 10 doses of a coronavirus vaccine or it would expire. Racing against the clock, he did what he could. For his efforts, he was fired - then criminally charged. My story:

Here's a clue: "...one of the officials startled him by questioning the lack of 'equity' among those he had vaccinated."
'Are you suggesting that there were too many Indian names in that group?' Dr. Gokal said he asked.
Exactly, he said he was told."

It was one year ago today that the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Australia.
In WA we have been fortunate to have more than 9 months with no community transmission of COVID-19.
This is thanks to every Western Australian doing the right thing to keep our State safe.

OH YEAH #PresidentElectJoe

I’m beyond thrilled that my friend @JoeBiden and our first Black and Indian-American woman Vice President, @KamalaHarris, are headed to restore some dignity, competence, and heart at the White House. Our country sorely needs it.
