Getting some troll treatment because I used the hashtag #kirribilliHillbillies lol. It’s one of my all time favourites & describes the Morrisons perfectly. The LNP fans don’t think it’s nice but they are quite okay with imprisoning little kids. #LNPBullyingCulture #auspol

Gerry Harvey uses his profile to support the government. The government uses our money to pay Harvey Norman 23 million in job keeper. Retweet if you think this stinks.
#BoycottHarveyNorman.

Thank you to Wakka elder Eric Law for guiding me through the the Cherbourg/Barambah Ration Shed Museum and the history of the community’s contribution of diggers - inc the grandfather of @CathyFreeman - to our many wars, with @MickGooda. It was a real privilege.

One of the most amazingly savage interviews you'll ever watch. She has no chill whatsoever. It's like watching someone's anxiety dream

My family moved here when I was a baby, and my parents spoke no English. I learnt the language when I started school. Today I'm a kidney doctor & researcher, and serve as Dean of Medicine at UNSW Sydney. It appears I am the sort of person Mr Tudge & the LNP doesn't want here?
English is our national language and is critical to getting a job, fully participating in our democracy and for social cohesion. From late 2021, new partner visa applicants will need to demonstrate they have made reasonable efforts to learn English. minister.homeaffairs.gov.au/…

And, but for the WA mining sector, the Commonwealth debt will be punching well through $1 trillion
You're welcome Prime Minister.

So, no 7.45am ABC news this morning. I’ve reported for that bulletin, been a sub-editor for that bulletin. Like millions of Australians, I’ve listened to it most of my life. To axe it is an act of contemptuous, ignorant vandalism. RT if you agree,

In 2011 the Quandamooka People publicly got 54,000 hectares of land and sea declared by the Federal Court of Australia that they might want to get rezoned so their people could build and live on their land - shhhhhh... 🤫 its been a big secret ... apparently 🤷🏽♂️ – at Brisbane, Queensland

Sweeping statements are accurate if you experience this racism. Talk to almost any of our students who have subject to this type of abuse and the playbook is always that same. Nothing is done to the racist, the student reacts and then is excluded.

The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan identifies racism as a key driver of ill health. Racism in Australia is a public health emergency!! @LowitjaInstitut
It is time to end the silence. And it is time for governments to hear us: Racism is killing us.

I’m told the Murdoch toady Greg Sheridan is on the ABC yet again, on The Drum tonight. Why, FFS ? He has nothing new to say. He is a foot soldier in the Murdochracy’s infantile culture war on the ABC.
Enough. I will boycott any ABC show which has him on. RT if you’ll join me.

It is absolutely valid to raise other cases where there are equally tragic outcomes in seemingly similar circumstances but the treatment of one is off the planet compared to the other.

So let me get this right, bottom line is that Labor still supports the healthy welfare card. Why?

I’m a former care kid. Changing the label from being “in care” to adoption is not a panacea. It will not provide the magic “permanency” that govt would have you believe. It is a way to break up families, fudge numbers & perpetuate trauma. The system didn’t save me. I did 🖤💛❤️

Scott Morrion's very close friend, Brian Houston of Hillsong infamy, blamed a 9yo boy for his sexual abuse at the hands of Brian's father. Houston claimed the 9yo 'came on' to his father. #auspol #Islamophobia #TrustNothingHappyClappersSay
.@ScottMorrisonMP: I’m a member of a religious community and my Pastor knows what’s going on in our community. If there was someone who was teaching things not in accordance with what our faith believed they’d be pointing it out.
