Some personal news: I've just had my farewell cake at @canberratimes which means it's official. It's been an incredible experience leading & transforming its federal political bureau, public service & defence. A team with enormous talent, now increasing getting noticed.

You'll still see my name on some articles here and there, but study will be my focus this year. Need to finish a masters, and maybe more. I might actually see my Hubby more often.

No one wants Putin to have face-saving exit clauses, but we also don't want a nuclear conflagration - they're both ugly options. I'm for supporting Ukraine in a measured way. I'm careful about how far we push it. Thanks for the chat, @harleyd canberratimes.com.au/story/7… @ANUmedia

Liberal @SenatorHume has given a powerful speech on territory rights & voluntary assisted dying. Citing her father's choice to die: "As he died peacefully, as he died painlessly, as he died willingly, in the matter in which he wanted, it was a very beautiful death." #auspol
