Mother to two Papillon pups and one geriatric Tonkinese cat. And a couple of humans.
Keenly follows #auspol and US politics, which explains my current mental malaise. Dumbfounded by how truly horrid people can be for no reason. Just stop it!!

I understand that Australia once had a national anti-corruption body that might have been able to deal with this.
But they got too preoccupied with being investigated themselves for the Commissioner's questionable behaviour. #Nauru #auspol

Australia is paying $750m to a US prison company and $2.5bn in a secret deal to Nauru, yet the hundred or so asylum seekers in Nauru are starving.
It’s called corruption, and someone in authority should look into it.

Today is a dark day for Jacinta Allan’s Labor Government.
They are ramming through changes that will see life sentences for children - a failed policy imported from the Qld Liberals that will harm children, disproportionately impacting First Nations & children of colour 🧵

The Victorian state government is doing a public service cull with a focus on senior executive jobs. The federal government should do the same and get rid of the rusted-ons like Kathryn Campbell and Stephanie Foster, etc. Let some fresh air in at the top. Get some movement in the ranks. #auspol

There can be no phrase more damaging and dangerous to the women of Australia than the phrase now regularly used (because of Bruce Lehrmann’s attempts to defend himself from rape claims) than the disgraceful words “non-violent rape”.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING.

Vaccines 💪
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

How ludicrous for Labor to cut $5 billion in public services during a cost of living crisis. Every six months the government pays around $5b in Fuel Tax Credits to mining corporations to burn fossil fuels. If Labor is going to cut spending, cut handouts to fossil fuel barons.
