66. At the end of this month, I am again attending #RightsCon - the world's leading summit on human rights & technology in Taiwan. I have self-funded the trip.
67. I will arrive back in Melbourne on 1 March. I do not have a job. I have bills to pay.

Comments
69. Which political candidate or party represents my interests & values?
70. What union will help me or would have helped me in past 15 years?
71. What class am I? Middle-class I guess.
72. I live in Carlton.
I don't drive. I don't have children.
- I was on the Board of my local Neighbourhood House for 3.5 years
- I volunteered at Garma last year at my own expense
- I donate to local charities
- I have visited detention centres
75. So who do I vote 🗳 for?
- not ALP - not since Tampa
- Greens? (I am in Bandt's electorate). Since Ludlam left Greens have not been solid on digital rights or telco.
I have been a landlord since 2006 in Ballarat. I have read a lot about how evil landlords are without a lot of nuance.
I rented for 23 years. I know how bad landlords are.
I am not working class.
Perhaps my father is but people mock plumbers as rich, tradies as CUBs
The intellectually lazy imported rhetoric of "woke", the culture wars, most of the press gallery, rusted on types, mansplainers.
I'm tired and the election campaign "proper" has not even started.
78. I really hope Alex Dyson wins in Wannon. Much of my Mum's family - nurses, farmers live there.
79. But I and we need more than join a union.
THE END for now 🥳 🎉
