Troubled that the obvious toughest team isn’t in the lead right now.
I have divided the alphabet up into 4 equally tough fighting teams. But which team do u feel is the TOUGHEST

Well, it happened. I just received a Facebook message of a screen recording of an Instagram Reel that's a Tweet sharing a TikTok video.

Standing in the queue for my second Pfizer vax at RPA, already feeling emotional, when I watched as two nurses took the time needed to properly support a patient with a needle phobia.

They were gentle and respectful. Communicated clearly and were patient as the man deliberated about the choices offered. Moved by the professionalism and humanity in such a busy scene.
The Auslan interpreter's take on the naked deer-startled sun-bakers is worth all the replays.
🦌🍆🍑 TFW you and your mate sunbake naked on a beach, get startled by a deer, run into a national park and get lost, require SES and police assistance, and then get fined $1000 each because you breached Sydney's COVID public health orders

So just to be clear, in a post-midnight press release, the government is threatening to send Australian citizens to jail for five years if they try to get home from India - to protect Australian citizens. What an utter statement of failure of our quarantine arrangements.

Looking forward to working with these two again soon. It hasn't always been easy.

We all agree that March was six years long and April has lasted six minutes, right? Can we get some sort of explanation on that. Genuinely baffled by how elastic time is right now, but more by how we seem to be experiencing it in similar ways.

This is just the read I needed, and you might need too.

Since when did more than 600 homes destroyed by fire in a couple of weeks not become a national emergency? Not even mentioned on the front page of the Weekend @australian ? This some epic level of blasé.

Some happy news. Timely as we think of our much-loved, hugely missed friend Jesse.

Update: the AFP and the ABC have agreed that there will be a two week hiatus during which time any documents which are handed over under the warrant can be challenged (for legal privilege, for example) or indeed that the entire warrant can be challenged.

AFP: I’m still staggered by the power of this warrant. It allows the AFP to “add, copy, delete or alter” material in the ABC’s computers. All Australians, please think about that: as of this moment, the AFP has the power to delete material in the ABC’s computers. Australia 2019.

If you haven’t already, please read @TheLyonsDen blow-by-blow of the AFP raid of ABC offices from the beginning.
In summary, the AFP want anything that at any point may have been involved in this story. This is, in my view, a chilling development for the Australian public. This is not just about the media, this is about the public’s right to know.
This is not ok. My ABC colleague Osman Faruqi @oz_f has been forced off twitter & has received countless threats in the past few days, some which apparently remain on @facebook. Meanwhile, newscorp journos continue to attack him in the papers today. It’s shameful. We need change
