Like many writers, I'm enraged to find my writing in the list of publications 'scraped' by MetaAI to train its large language model. I see huge potential for AI as a helpful tool, but our work takes our time & dedication - that should be paid for. #DoTheWriteThing, @Meta

Winging it at @adelwritersweek & trusting the program. Found @GraemeSimsion (Rosie Project) this morning! ‘If it’s a boring book, that’s on me, if it’s (medically) inaccurate, that’s on Anne (partner psychiatrist), but shared goal is the best book we can possibly write’ #AdlWW

Today I announced plans to end greyhound racing in New Zealand. It was not an easy decision, but it is the right thing to do and is driven by the need to protect the welfare of the dogs. The government is working with animal welfare organisations to ensure the dogs safety is a priority and are re-homed by August 2026.

#thread After reading the tributes and statements about Black Caviar I’d like to speak some plain truths. I was invited to go to the secret location of the stud in the Hunter Valley where she was sent after she retired.This was in 2016 and I knew little about horse breeding..

"Then-NSW premier Mike Baird in 2016 announced a ban on greyhound races... but backflipped on the plans before they took effect." Eight years later... "shocking allegations of poor animal welfare practices in the industry". indaily.com.au/news/2024/07/…
