I feel for her family and all the survivors. I’m astonished by her bravery to hold those predators to account.

1/ Donald Trump has abandoned legally mandated US and international efforts to hold Russia accountable for its war crimes in Ukraine, in an apparent undisclosed favour to Vladimir Putin. ⬇️

Hastie’s caveat, cause like high standards there not before?

According to Lurch (Dutton) Penny Wong ‘rolled’ Marles. Lol Now Hastie (high standards) blames Labor for using women as political pawns. Lol he just sank himself.

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

Hell yeah Claire O Neil! Sarah Ferguson doing great.

We urgently need a change of culture in property, away from a "me" to a "we" when we think of a place to call home. Community Land Trusts are an authentic pathway forward, something sorely missing in this election. #auspol

Also no sign language to interpret. Will Labor?

This Dutton policy speech is pathetic. Freedom to buy cars. He’s in my hometown electorate I hope he loses to Labor or Indi

Thanks for this, Osmond!

read this and weep, about what is happening to disabled people, exploited by profiteers and neglected by those meant to be safeguarding them I wonder if any questions will be asked about this during the election campaign www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

#AutismAcceptanceMonth starts tomorrow. Please don't give to Autism Speaks; their $$ rarely supports autistic people/families, and their 'awareness' work portrays autistic people as burdens, not humans. From @autisticadvocacy.org, a good org to support instead. autisticadvocacy.org/considerthef...

Here’s a surprise, Peter Dutton’s fuel excise cut is not only bad economic and environmental policy, it turns out the Coalition has also cooked the books on how much people are likely to get. australiainstitute.org.au/post/fuel-ex...

Can’t say enough good things about @systemsvirology.bsky.social Great scientist, great mentor, great collaborator, world class guy all around. I’d take him up on this offer to find better ways👇🏻

So the choice is a tax cut for everyone, or a petrol excise cut (for a year) that rewards the people with the biggest most polluting vehicles the most, whereas those who don’t drive or use the least polluting cars (EVs) get nothing? ⛽️💰 www.abc.net.au/news/... #auspol

Australia's coal mines systematically and massively under-report methane dumping, resulting in wild under-statement of harms New @ember-energy.org report: ember-energy.org/latest-insig... + new UN study that used planes to monitor Glencore's mines: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Update; The artist is Urrunga, youngest of 14 from a family broken up in Stolen Gêneration. Full of life stories, happy to chat. His painting work in progress - so far 3 days productive work! Needs money for more materials… see his tools of the trade Authentic #publicart In #publicsydney

Congratulations, Creative Australia. Your panicked, craven behaviour has legitimised the cowardice of others - in this case @monashuniversity.bsky.social - & destroyed an eminent artist's career. Your credibility is currently non-existent & will remain so until your leadership is held accountable.

Please for gods sake, at least do expert first then voters

I would like just one Labor politician to acknowledge that you cannot live on these payments! On the DSP, a king’s ransom by comparison, I was hitting zero every fortnight. The smallest unexpected expense is a catastrophe. JobSeeker is far, far worse.

Here's a recording of a workshop presented by the Getty last week on a great new teaching resource: digital version of the Florentine Codex, fascinating 16th-century encyclopedia of indigenous Mexico in Nahuatl & Spanish with nearly 2,500 handpainted images youtu.be/-1ysNsugXsQ?...

I have a new book out today, the Portable Feminist Reader. I hope you check it out. audacity.substack.com/p/new-book-o...

Listening to Donald Dutton on ABC AM. Dutton is flat out lying about Labor’s financial stewardship historically, and Sabra Lane is not calling him out. It’s so frustrating that the LNP openly lie about everything with impunity.

Labor’s final #budget before election entrenches cruelty, abandons fairness and compassion for refugees.

To give you context for just how cruel the #budget is for people seeking asylum in Australia. The Albanese Gov has budgeted for a total of 70 cents a day per person seeking asylum as income support. Not a single extra dollar. Keeping it at the levels Dutton who savagely cut it to

Under Labor? Whoever it adds to my cynicism

Seriously Labor relying on tobacco sales, 10 billion. I find that cynically exploiting people with addiction

"There's so much local love for these fish," said lead author Lauren Hitt. "If not for local community engaged and supporting local streams, I don’t think we’d have salmon in Putah Creek today ... This is just so special.” 🐟 💙 @ucdaviswater.bsky.social www.ucdavis.edu/climate/news...

Commissioner Brereton of the NACC is a Major General in the Army reserves - he doesn’t see that as a conflict of interest when he investigates corruption complaints about Defence. The standard he is setting for the public service is so wrong 🙉🙈🙊 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Great business and great cause. Please support both.
