Some parents can't deal with having kids that are “different”. Then emotionally abandon & reject their children. They have limited capacity to reflect on their behaviour or adapt their parenting style to suit the needs of their children. It’s heartbreaking. They have no idea #disability #autism

reminder that the coalition voted for holding a referendum in 2023 and against an Indigenous Voice to Parliament for the publicly funded seat-by-seat racism data it generated, to mine for the 2025 federal election.

The WA government giving $70,000 to support endangered black-cockatoos in care seems great But without both a full stop to habitat destruction AND some serious urban forest restoration this money will make 0 difference in the long term. #wildOz 🪶 www.watoday.com.au/national/wes...

My thoughts on the Sandy Hook massacre of small, innocent children back in 2012. #gunlaws in the USA are equivalent to a horror story. And yet nothing changes.

There doesn’t seem to be many southwest Australian’s on here. But if you are, check out Dr Sue Chapman. It would be amazing to see the Liberal stranglehold on our electorate given the boot at the next Federal election #auspol

A good read. Also, bonus points for the use of “polly waffle”. As a WA person immersed in local politics, LNP have no hope in our State. See Basil Zempilas, widely disliked and ridiculed for his recent “I knew nothing” attempt to overthrow Libby Mettam. They’re a joke. #auspol

Believe the experts including academics, CSIRO and the Australian Energy Council, rather than the paid economic consultancy with an obvious right wing bend. Excellent coverage on ABC News Radio today. There is no dilemma. The report is pure graft. #auspol

Guess this is why half a million Australians called for a Royal Commission into the dominance and influence of Murdoch…. They’ve been doing this for years. Come on Labor, how many more times are you going to get punched in the face before you stand up to the bullies?
