C'mon Channel 10 News. You reported on the death of "Dr Prateek Joshi, his wife, and three children" in the Air India crash. In fact, "his wife" Komi Vyas has a name and was also a doctor. Here we are in 2025 and women are still just extensions of their husbands 😠

A couple of my fave Scotty I don't hold a hose Morrison moments include trying to amend the Sex and Religious Discrimination Bills targeting LGBTQ+ children. Another highlight was telling Australian women they were lucky not to be "met with bullets" protesting gender based violence. #AusPol #FauxPM🖕

As a baby scientist I questioned the welfare of capture-mark-recapture toe-clipping #Lizards. My lecturer humiliated me yelling "HOW DARE YOU QUESTION A PROFESSOR OF 30 YEARS". So I went to the university vet. Thereafter they got analgesia before getting the practice banned. #SpeakUp #AnimalWelfare⬇️

A harmful algal bloom has reached SA’s Coorong, killing fish, crabs & worms in a Ramsar-listed wetland. Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity and geographic spread of algal blooms across Australia. We need climate action now to protect our precious marine life and coastlines.

I attended an #AnimalRights #AnimalResearch seminar. I pointed out that the research they cite to prove animals are sentient is the same research they seek to ban. Example: Dr Lynne Sneddon's research demonstrated #Fish possess nociceptors and behaviours in evidence that fish feel pain. Crickets

The new Family Law Amendment Act 2024 in #Australia recognises pets as sentient beings rather than property in family law disputes, prioritising their needs. This change also offers better protection for women fleeing family violence. #AnimalWelfare #AnimalLaw #DomesticViolence 🐾⚖️⬇️

SIGNED. When I first moved to #Sydney, a friend's bf told me that every weekend he would get together with a group of his mates and go hunting in #NSW national parks. They would disembowel #goats and stand there laughing as they died in agony. Legal, government-sanctioned killing. ⬇️ #AnimalWelfare 🐐
