So excited to announce that I have a book coming out with @AffirmPress!
Broke is a story of broken bones, broken families and ultimately a system that sees anyone outside ‘normal’ as broke.
It’s out 27 June. More details here: affirmpress.com.au/publishin…

An important reminder from @lorrainejfinlay
'Today is a day to remind ourselves of exactly why Australia stands against the death penalty. It is also an opportunity to renew our commitment to the efforts to consign the death penalty to history,' write @lorrainejfinlay and Zahli Hansen.

It is not helpful to use the term "terrorism" in a war when the White House only ever applies it to one side. Better to remind both Hamas and the Israeli government that humanitarian law makes it a war crime to target or indiscriminately fire on civilians. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

A very honest review of Broke 👇👇👇
Thanks for reading @htaylorjohnson.

Two new memoirs introduce us to Deaf culture and the experience of growing up with pseudoachondroplasia, writes @htaylorjohnson (@UniofAdelaide). theconversation.com/excavati…
Thanks for reading Hugh. Some lovely words here...

Read Broke by brilliant @samdrummond in 3 days. Beautiful book about many things - triumph vs adversity, poverty, human rights, disability - but for me more than anything a mother’s love for her kids & how she gave them a decent shot in life against the odds. Highly recommended.

'A memoir about the intersection between disability and financial precarity advocates for compassion.'

Louise lives at the end of my street. She dropped a flyer around last week, just looking for a way to stay in our little community.
“It’s sent me into shock. I couldn’t eat for a few days and then got a really bad cold from the stress.”
We need to get serious about housing.
This is shocking but not - sadly - unusual or surprising. Public housing is urgently needed. theguardian.com/australia-ne…
