Crabb is once again shocked by a significant gap in Sales’ general knowledge, this time about the royal family. chat10looks3.com/podcast/ep190

In a political system of talking points and mass-produced party MPs, voters have elected women who are not afraid to speak their mind. Analysis piece by me about tonight’s very candid behind the scenes @4corners with the new force in Australian politics. abc.net.au/news/2022-08-1

Their 500 tonne 32m tug was repeatedly thrown against the 60,000 tonne 169m ship by seas up to 9m as close as 400m off the reef near Garie Beach. They. Kept. At. It. Extraordinary bravery and skill.

Yes indeed. Not only lives saved but also environmental disaster... I think this has been under-reported. Understandable given everything else but honestly if this had gone as pear-shaped as it really should have, absent these efforts... WHOA.

He had a perceptive but non-judgmental eye. Full of forgiveness for human frailty. It made him a remarkable human and artist. Read the Grand Days trilogy if you haven't already. It's a treat. Vale Frank. I've never met or read anyone quite like you and won't again. ❤️

Feeling a great sense of loss at the death of #FrankMoorhouse. Will never forget reading his short stories as a teenager in my country town and recognising for the first time what brilliant writing was. 1/2

This man was detained for a long time, but on release was straight into working for others with deep generosity and no bitterness... a truly extraordinary example for us all, I reckon. A good man, and an asset for the nation in the way refugees so often are.
Quote Tweet
After eight years of detention and a long journey, tonight I finally met the new Australian Prime Minister, @AlboMP, face to face. I really hope that he chooses to give me and my friends permanent safety and security in this beautiful country that has become home.

I reckon a lot of things shat professional women off in the last few years but one of them, for me, is this weird sexualised crap that seems to spring so readily to hand. If you can't articulate a criticism in a grown-up way, why are you worth any attention at all?

Buy dem votes. The Lib way. Good to see Dom getting in front of the "we have a women problem " that cost the libs the federal election. Am I being cynical? Does Annabel Crabb start touching her hair everytime she's within 10 feet of a moderate liberal?

What the NSW Government has announced this week on parental leave and early childhood education is quite remarkable. For a long time this stuff has been such a clear and obvious way to build participation and yet govts have hesitated to lead. V good to see.

The NSW government has announced reforms to the early childhood education and care sector.
“This is good for mums and dads, good for businesses and good for the economy.”
