“When you listen to the people who are most affected, you’re gonna get better outcomes.”

It’s that simple.

Yes? And be on the right side of history...

It's time to enshrine in law, to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

I will be voting YES to the Voice on 14/10/23

In a democracy voters are free to elect their local representative- its usually a man.

The only way 'must' happens is with a gender quota. Is it time?


'Local government has also been told 50% of mayors & councillors must be female by 2025'

Big congrats to Kate Chaney on the intro of Restoring Trust, her first Private Member's Bill.

I was proud to stand alongside crossbench colleagues calling for election reform:

✅ More integrity
✅ More transparency
✅ Donations reform
✅ Truth in political advertising

As I told HuffPost: One reason why age bias continues into middle & older ages for women: 'As they grow older and more mature in their careers, [women] lose some of the fear of speaking their mind. And certain men don’t like that.' Monica Torres

Telling a woman what she should wear, how she should do her job, isolating her from friends, and shaming her is not a ‘boundary.’

The alleged texts from Jonah Hill to his ex-partner are clear examples of gaslighting and manipulation, dressed up as boundaries.

Patricia Karvelas you forgot to tell everyone the most important point about this 'Binary' org.

They used to be called Marriage Equality Aust.

They changed their name one day to join in the trans culture wars and are headed up by a former Cory Bernardi senate candidate.
