The Gov’s FOI bill makes it harder for the public to access info and easier for govs to hide it. Protecting public servants’ frank and fearless advice is an excuse, covering up gov missteps and mischief is the reality. My experience in 2003 tells that story. #auspol #politas

Climate disasters are getting worse and costing more. The question isn’t if we can afford to act, but why Govs allow the biggest climate vandals to avoid paying their fair share. T...

Gambling reform is a vitally important area of public policy that is seized up because both major parties are significant beneficiaries of the gambling industry and are effectively running a protection racket for it.
It’s clear that there’s momentum from across the Parliament for a free vote as the way to solve the gambling reform paralysis. While my motion today didn’t pass, the PM would be wise to start listening and act #auspol #politas
My Human Rights Bill tabled today spells out in plain terms, the rights and freedoms that everyone in Australia is entitled to. It requires that fairness, respect, dignity and compassion must be put at the centre of all government decision and polices. #auspol #politas
When it comes to healthcare, Tasmanians are being left behind. I seconded Dr Helen Haines’ motion, because it’s not about getting more, it’s about fairness. Everyone deserves healthcare that works, no matter where they live. #politas #auspol
Qantas is reviewing their Hobart base for QantasLink crew. Generations of Tasmanians, and hundreds of workers, have given their loyalty to the flying kangaroo, and to close the base would do nothing to repay that loyalty or improve QF’s corporate image #auspol #politas
It is simply penny-pinching and cruel that the Federal Government makes people wait up to 15 months for Home Care Packages. This is an issue that could and should be resolved quickly.
These are just some of the reasons the Parliament should get to work on passing a national Human Rights Act like the one I tabled this week #auspol #politas
The Premier & the Opp Leader would build the stadium against the advice of every expert & the will of a majority of the community. And it’s our children & their children who will have to pay for it. Want a corflute? Go here nonewstadium.au/getasign/ #politas #auspol
Aus support for international law should not hinge on who’s committing the crime. It applies to everyone equally and our Govt undermines it at our own peril. Might does not make right. #auspol #politas

It's taken almost 2 years to get Pawlie to sit on me. They were trapped from a colony and we adopted them after they'd been fostered a bit. Then Palwie had to have a hernia fixed, aftercare made him very distrustful of me. #cats
When we think of #accompaniment, our work alongside communities in #WestAfrica quickly comes to mind. 🌍 When @pih.org was invited to provide urgent support in responding to #Ebola. But rather than provide short-term emergency support, we looked deeper. 👀

This quote from a Trump cabinet member sums up the administration in a nutshell: “Just because it looks like we’re going in the wrong direction doesn’t mean that’s the direction we’re going.” Yes—it really does. 🤦🏿♂️

Great Greed often felt aimed at welcoming first-time adventurers with easy-to-learn RPG mechanics, automatic and manual saves, and there was even a light walkthrough in the manual. A friendly, portable, otherworldly quest with a recipe for an adventure with multiple toppings, er, endings!
The obtaining of transcripts from family courts can be the difference between justice and injustice, and long delays are pushing people into financial hardship. I'm glad to hear the government is working on it but I will keep pushing Ministers to ensure change is achieved as fast as possible.

“You know, I thought I'd gotten to the stage where I could no longer be shocked by Donald Trump's choices, but this may be the most outrageous of all.” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) slams President Trump's choice of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence to MS NOW's Mychael Schnell.

New video shows a large oil slick, potentially 200 feet long, approaching a popular beach in the wealthy town of Montecito, according to researchers investigating ocean pollution.
Journalists are banned from the White House for asking Trump tough questions. Meanwhile in Kyiv I interviewed President Zelenskyy with zero restrictions. Funny how the “dictatorship” still lets reporters ask anything.
Funny how this SCOTUS parody was supposed to be satire. The most remarkable thing about this SCOTUS spoof isn't how funny it was—it's how frighteningly accurate it turned out to be. It feels more like a documentary. Video source: Dirty Hippies Productions #PINKS
Moin 🖖☕️ Heute ist "Tag des Papierfliegers". Ich habe da leider kein Talent für. Ich habe auch schon ein paar in meinem Leben gebastelt, aber keiner flog bisher. Vermutlich bin ich zu schwer für die Dinger. Heute versuche ich es noch mal 😬 Wünsche allen einen schönen Dienstag 🫶
