Heartbreaking. 🥲
"A few years after Victor Hookey was photographed walking hand in hand with his white friend Mark Anthony down a Chippendale lane – a photo that became a symbol of the 1967 referendum – he was snatched from his parents’ kitchen and sent to a boys’ home."

University of Sydney one of 15 higher education institutions not to have a position on the voice. Shameful decision @Sydney_Uni Silence is political- your position is actually a decision. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

I keep bursting into tears about Sinead O’Connor. Don’t know why.
Maybe because she was “one of us”…
One of “us”, that is…
If we were braver
More clear sighted
Had more genius and damage boiling in our blood
The “us” we might be if we were not so afraid of power
If we were willing to lose it all for the sake of the truth 🙌💔

She walked upon the lion and the cobra, and wrought beauty from ugliness. A powerful voice, a powerful presence, rooted in fierce independence, vulnerability and determination. Grateful we had you, Sinead.

The greed is almost a legendary comic trope - one fun fact - when I was a youngin- I did a film (with a boom box ) and somehow I got points - net not gross.
Never expected to see any money - but the film became quite famous - so about 10 years ago - I looked again at the financial statements they were obligated to report - and to my shock - they claimed they had LOST 44 million dollars on the film -
I thought wow , I almost bankrupted Fox! ( not really )
The film cost about 13 million to make - and money spent to release was minimal at the time - 30 years in - that film lost millions every year ! A neat accounting trick don’t ya think ?

Independent Zoe Daniel says “Ban gambling ads on television full stop”
To Jennett’s suggestion of the need for revenue
Daniel: “I think the same argument was made about alcohol, & the same argument was made about tobacco” 👏👏

An absolutely stunning video from Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, celebrating not just St Patrick's Day, but a Century of Peace building, 100 years after our independence. Happy #StPatricksDay
