I’m thrilled to announce that I’m running as an independent candidate for Hobart City Council. As a climate scientist, I no longer feel able to sit on the sidelines. The coming decade is critical and will transform the way we live. It’s time to put my hand up and do what I can.

Thankyou all so much. It’s been a dark week on many fronts - but mostly because my family has been hit with OSG demands that are so unsafe they’ll see us lose our home. We’re devastated. Every dollar gives us hope & most importantly reminds us of goodness ❤️ #politas

Someone should tell the Coalition that a policy that is not acted upon with worth exactly zero.

We always welcome Labor’s adoption of Coalition policy, but today’s announced pensioner income credit is too little, too late.

I don’t know if that’s who they really are or if they have just convinced themselves it’s necessary for some greater political good. I do know they have a chance now to change course. The more we all get involved and put pressure on, the more likely that is to happen. #auspol

Labor supports $240 billion worth of tax cuts for the super wealthy and is happy to keep people on jobseeker on starvation payments. You are welcome to take your best shot at convincing me that the ALP is not a right wing party.

I am reminded, once again, of ’s point yesterday. Respect doesn’t cost a cent. Neither does recognising the humanity and value in others. It doesn’t cost a cent and yet it fundamentally changes lives.

Pple referring to today as a 'talkfest' are missing/don't know that good policy comes from engagement & consultation.The talking lets people share ideas,their agenda & reach consensus.The minimising of this critical part of the policymaking process is really annoying.#JobsSummit

The Albanese Govt committed to multi national tax reform at the election so they do have a mandate to introduce a super profit tax on multi national gas companies. Let’s get on with it. #auspol

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

The thing is that if you’re in government you actually can relitigate it. That’s sort of the point. The only excuse not to do so would be if you think it’s a good idea, so the conclusion must be that Labor thinks tax cuts for the rich is a good idea.
Quote Tweet
PM Anthony Albanese at #npc, asked about the controversial stage 3 tax cuts: “we made a decision that we would stand by that legislation rather than re-litigate it… We inherited it. And I said that we haven't changed our position”

Australian #women have to work on average 60 days a year extra to receive the same pay as men!
We can and should do more go bridge the gender pay gap.

It's been 60 days since the EOFY.
That's how many extra days Australian women work to earn the same as men in a year.
Closing this gender pay gap will be a key focus of the Jobs and Skills Summit this week.

Wow, the 'blame women for men's behaviour' conditioning is really kicking in today, re Fran Bailey at Tourism Australia.
She sacked Scott Morrison.
She did the work!
Then the Liberal Party machine and several journalists backed him to the hilt and kept right on backing him.
