I do still find all the constant winding back so bizarre. I really would prefer that we just stayed consistent. Cutting COVID isolation and mask mandates will mean more damage to business and health in the long run #covid19aus theconversation.com/cutting-covid- via

With the goal of ‘business as usual’, politicians will continue to reduce COVID protections without immediate consequence while transmission is low. But then the next wave will come.

Wouldn't it be nice if this actually happened? Highly unlikely though 😅 #sustainability #ClimateEmergency

Democracies are fragile. Australians must act urgently to safeguard ours

Aug 30

I do hope there are some strong recommendations to come out of the Scomo inquiry. Democracies are fragile. Australians must act urgently to safeguard ours #auspol theconversation.com/democracies-ar via

Australia has a great story to tell about its democracy – recent events have shown the importance of understanding and celebrating that.

Dutton may never be PM but, so far, he’s hardly put a foot wrong

This made me LOL. Written by George Brandis, obviously. Dutton may never be PM but, so far, he’s hardly put a foot wrong #auspol

History tells us that Peter Dutton is unlikely to ever become prime minister, but the former cop is strategic, not ideological; a pragmatist, not a zealot. And as Malcolm Turnbull realised too late,...

Help! The

does amazing things, and I am doing something that scares the hell out of me, but I believe in what we do so much that I have donated a whole lot to myself, and I just need a little help to reach my goal 😘theedge2022doitfordad.raisely.com/brodie-west?fb

Hey friends, I am halfway towards reaching my target for my EDGE abseil for medical research but that is because I have donated most of the money myself. Why? Well, I believe in what the Foundation I work for does.
Since the Foundation began we have funded some AMAZING work. We invested in the jack jumper desensitization program and clinic and since that started there has not been a single death from a jack jumper ant bite in Tasmania. Pretty amazing right?
The Foundation was also the first to fund The Hobart Method. An international success story where Professor Peter Dargaville initiated a study into the effect of a minimally invasive surfactant (breathing) therapy for premature babies which was covered by the Journal of the American Medicine Association (JAMA) and is now adopted in over 12 countries!

Ugh... The defence of "I didnt exercise any powers cos thankfully I didn't need to, and I only did it in case of an emergency, so I didn't tell my colleagues" is still NOT OKAY! #auspol

Scott Morrison says it was "necessary" for him to have additional powers while he was prime minister during the COVID-19 pandemic. Look back on how Wednesday unfolded.

How ‘tax bludgers’ are ripping off their fellow Australians

The notorious term “dole bludger” is widely known. Not so much “tax bludger”. Why? 🤔 The tax system is designed to support wealthy men who seem to get away with anything. How ‘tax bludgers’ are ripping off their fellow Australians #auspol thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/ via

The gender pay gap is alive and well and ‘tax bludgers’ are thriving in Australia, as the latest figures show scores of millionaires paid nothing on their income.
