Should an Australian Senator be using their official parliamentary letterhead stationery when issuing a personal statement unrelated to their duties as a Senator?! Is this done to intimidate by reminding people she's a Senator?! I this appropriate?! 🤔 #auspol

Dear Prime Minister ⁦Anthony Albanese⁩, please release the Australian Public Service Commissioner’s unredacted full report into the conduct of department mandarin Mike Pezzullo. The Australian people are entitled to know if the trust he betrayed is just a “mistake”and not endemic.

The soft Pezza interview was the last straw for me with abc730.

Someone give me a hoy when Laura Tingle is in charge and there's some quality control happening. I'll start watching again then. #auspol

How arrogant & entitled was Mike Pezzullo?

I’m sorry, but why should anyone listen to what a former high-ranking public servant who has absolutely no judgment or understanding of the meaning of confidentiality has to say? 🙄

Nine women have been killed in Australia in the last 18 days. On average, that is one woman every second day.

The latest victim is 67-year-old Lesley Stillman, killed by her ex in WA. Lesley’s ex also took his own life, leaving a note: “Won’t get justice. Will die with her.”

Honour A Woman Julian Hill MP Elizabeth Hartnell-Y Carol Kiernan Hear, hear. Time to overhaul the #AustralianHonours - just in time for their 50th anniversary in 2025. They are archaic and irrelevant to many modern Australians. #TheGongs require a deliberate approach to re-design to ensure diversity and equality. This is sensible and fair.

This..... total agree! Diverse leadership is ESSENTIAL for our country moving forward!!

Time to re-imagine the Order of Australia in its 50th anniversary year, 2025, to celebrate leading Australians in all our diversity! We have some work ahead. Excellent speech Julian Hill MP #honourawoman #recognitionmatters Elizabeth Hartnell-Y Ruth McGowan

I noticed smartly dressed security guard Faraz Tahir patrolling at Westfield when I was there before the slaughter began. The only man killed. A hero who gave his life trying to protect Eastern Suburbs shoppers. A refugee and Muslim hero of his faith. Rest In Peace.
