Dear PM, You told us to lockdown. We did. Told us to vaccinate. We did. Told us to get out there. We did. Now, businesses everywhere are closing, your “free market” on RAT tests sees obscene price gouging, the vulnerable exposed & kids can’t get vax appt’s. What now?

When Brittany Higgins & I first spoke in Jan about the consequences of revealing her alleged rape in Parliament House she said “they’ll come after me” but she insisted on going ahead anyway. Can we all just take a moment today to applaud Brittany’s extraordinary ongoing courage.

Serious questions need to be asked about what access @ScottMorrisonMP ’s longtime close #Qanon friend Tim Stewart had to government laptops & technology while he was house-sitting at Kirribilli House? And why on earth are taxpayers funding his stay? #4corners @4corners #auspoI

I wonder if the woman who allegedly made an HR complaint at @SkyNewsAust after a “toilet incident” is happy to have @ScottMorrisonMP weaponising her trauma in a press conference meant to assure Australian women he’s listening to them. Maybe not. #auspol #Morrison #PrimeMinister

Just did some shopping at the local IGA & I was literally the only shopper wearing a mask. When I politely asked the only one of three staff wearing a mask at the checkout what the store policy was, she said, it’s up to us. @GladysB I don’t think your message is getting through.

“In country areas we couldn’t really give a shit [about COVID]. We’ve got record exports of coal. Record exports of beef. We look at Melbourne and go, you can almost smell the burning flesh from here.” - @Barnaby_Joyce our Deputy PM, who’s just been fined for not wearing a mask.

Bravo @annabelcrabb #MsRepresented is an absolute triumph. If anyone missed the first 2 eps, go to @ABCTV Iview. The accounts of @SenatorWong @juliahbanks @JuliaGillard @sarahinthesen8 of parliamentary life for women particularly telling. As was the story about @corybernardi

“The PM uses his or her discretion to pick Ministers for particular roles & [Christian Porter’s] role is embedded with the power to stop debate, the power to enforce silence, the power to suppress the truth. That’s chillingly ironic.”- @TamePunk #abc730

He [ @ScottMorrisonMP ] has people in his Cabinet, MP’s, who have been accused of the most terrible atrocities to women - proven with one of them - & they’re allowed to remain in their jobs & represent their country. I was forced to stand down.” - Christine Holgate #TheProjectTV

Alan Jones on @9NewsAUS tonight... Mark Burrows: “Do you have a problem with women?” Alan Jones: “Well I think you better ask women that?” Well women of Australia, what do you think? Does Alan Jones have a problem with women? #AlanJones #mediawatch

It’s almost been a week since the #March4Justice protests and I wanted to acknowledge all the women and men who took time out from their busy lives to advocate for a safer, more equitable Australia. Truly, from the bottom of my heart thank-you. 📷: @mpbowers & @DomLorrimer

What I simply don’t get is why the MINISTER FOR AGED CARE didn’t have these figures top of mind? Why isn’t he living & breathing them with every devastating passing day? And why does he still have his job? In the end PM, the behaviour you walk past is the behaviour you accept.

How is it possible that the Minister for Aged Care doesn't know how many people in aged care have passed away from COVID-19, nor how many have the infection? #Auspol #AgedCare #covidcommittee

“The comments made by Minister Reynolds are incredibly hurtful. It’s just further evidence of the toxic workplace culture that occurs behind closed doors in Parliament House.” - The always dignified Brittany Higgins after her ex-boss @lindareynoldswa called her a “lying cow”.

Here’s an idea: let’s declare the position of Australian Of The Year “full” and give it to Grace Tame in perpetuity, so she can continue to use the platform to call out the BS of politicians, bureaucrats & “back room boys” and permanently drive real, meaningful change. @TamePunk

“How this [bonk] ban is referred to is quite dismissive of the seriousness of the issue,” said the PM today, before dismissing the seriousness of the issue. No mention of workplace power imbalances, behaviour standards needing to be lifted...just, nothing to see here. #4corners
