Today is the 19th day since Australia's 5000 pokies venues were shut. Given we lose $38m a day on the pokies, that's a community stimulus worth $722m so far. Retweet this if you reckon suburban pokies rooms should be the very last thing that resumes as the clamps come off.

Welcome 2019. The year of purpose & passion & planet saving. All of us remain totally dependent on Gaia’s ongoing health. For governments like @ScottMorrisonMP & @GladysB who continue to run down the national estate, and fail to act on dangerous climate change, the end is nigh.

This is what Tony Abbott’s ad would look like if it really reflected his way of empty slogans & big cuts. ow.ly/nEwt8 #Auspol

Greg Combet will be missed, a great contribution to the labour movement. He is a man of principle, depth and substance. We wish him well.

Replying to @Mark_Arbib
@SenMarkArbib giving the speech Gillard should have. Support platform change but with a conscience vote.

If the definition under the Marriage Act in Australia stipulates "for life", then how could divorce or second marriages be legal? #hypocrisy

I can't believe how quickly this protest movement is spreading. I just went to the bathroom at work and it was occupied.
