A kind STFU to the smug “glad I’m not at splendour” tweets. Literally *nobody* cares. Spare a thought for the staff and everyone working on ground. It’s been a two year shitstorm for live music.

If refusing to smile is bad manners, what is refusing to leave a home that’s not yours.

As someone missing a front tooth YES PUBLIC DENTAL STAT
I've gotten some snarky comments about twitter funding me for new teeth. I can understand that others would love and so deserve the opportunity to have their teeth fixed too. This is why dental needs to be on medicare. We all deserve it, but please don't hate me for it.

TFW you are the one who organises the loan, executes the loan, is the larger shareholder in the loan, and when the loan documents come through are the person listed as secondary stakeholder on the loan after your male partner. The patriarchy is real and very fucking boring.

It's been a dark day at the ABC, half way through a year that began with colleagues working overtime to aid local communities through the bushfires and then doing the same under straitened circumstances during Covid-19.

The ABC costs us $879m a year. Our military budget just went up by $2.3billion (to $38.7billion). The ABC is just as crucial to the defence of our democracy than any piece of military hardware. This isn't about money. It's about ideology.

This was amazing
"He shot a man in cold blood who had his hands up." In an explosive investigation, @4corners exposes killings and cover-ups by Australian special forces during the war in Afghanistan. #4Corners starts now.

So in talk of income loss, I just wish the Gov would say ‘ok this is going to be hard. Lots of ppl will be out of work so now use whatever savings you have & then when you run out come to us & apply for Newstart’ & we will get it to you ASAP #qanda

The jury is in. You are infectious before symptoms. Applies to kids as well as adults
The question being - and I know the jury is till out on this. Are people contagious before showing symptoms? Are children who show no symptoms able spread the virus?

The NRL have to be kidding. They want $200 million from the NSW Govt. Your money Money that in the middle of a pandemic should be used for increasing the number of ICU beds, employing additional nurses and health workers and fast tracking elective surgery. Priorities.
