I’m really mad. Lockdown extended another 4 weeks. This is a joke. We’re being robbed of our lives, time we will never get back. As a 35yo single woman who would like to have a family one day, these months dictate whether or not that can happen for me. Mad is an understatement

I just chatted to a fertility nurse about freezing my eggs and was told the rough cost is around $13,000. THIRTEEN THOUSAND. How on earth are single women, paying rent in Sydney on a single salary, meant to afford that? That price is so far out of reach for so many

You clearly don't understand my perspective and that's OK. But don't cast uneducated judgements about my life decisions that you know nothing about.

I'm angry about a lot of things, being separated from my family, the gov messing the vaccine rollout up, people dying unnecessarily, reckless protesters setting us back... that's what I'm angry about
How many kids have to die at school before the US changes its constitution? I just don't get how someone's right to own a gun outweighs a child's right to live?l?

I do realise that - and I am not suggesting we just go on our merry way and ignore covid either. I follow the rules, I am home, alone, I don't go out without a mask etc.. But to be in this situation again almost 18 months on from the start of covid, I feel angry and frustrated.

Kate Middleton is wearing the Queen's Japanese Pearl Choker necklace to her funeral - the same necklace she wore to Prince Philip's funeral last year. Princess Diana wore it in 1982 🥺
What is Dan Andrews on about there's a "refusal" to lock people in Sydney, in Sydney? Like, I've not gone more than 5kms from my front door in a month. Am I missing something? 🤣
So Mary Queen of Scots is definitely worth a watch. Margot proves she’s not only the Kween of transformations, but accents too. While Saoirse Ronan gives her greatest performance to date. Love, love LOVED it.

about Australia’s domestic violence crisis. Last year 63 women died in domestic violence attacks. In 2017 the number was 53. How many will we lose in 2019?
Peter Overton and Tracy Grimshaw having no idea who Liz Truss - the new British Prime Minister - is during the live coverage of the Queen’s funeral was so *awks*
We knew it was coming, but is still such a blow to the journalism industry. I love mags, they inspired my career path and led me to study journalism where I spent a decade in magazines, six at Bauer UK and Australia 😢

Televising this case was one of the worst things that could ever happen for women. Domestic violence is not entertainment - allowing the world to view this trial has turned a serious social issue into a worldwide joke. The ramifications of this are going to be devastating

You know what got me when I was writing the story, was how many people agreed with her comments about lockdown being a hoax. Her hysterical laughing as she shared her story about scaring the workers was terrifying too. Wild she’s been allowed into Australia 🤯
And luckily the cyclist was okay, though he was badly scratched and bruised. Massive reminder to drivers to check their mirrors before opening their doors. So dangerous!!!! 🥰

Just wanna give my Pfizer jab a shout out for keeping me Covid free after I was exposed to a positive case for over 12hrs recently. Thought for sure I’d be positive - but Pfizer came through. My vaxxed friends are also all negative too. YAY FOR VACCINATIONS
The story I wrote earlier Katie Hopkins entering Australia when there are still thousands of Aussies unable to get home has blown up. It’s a mind-boggling move and even harder to swallow on the day Sydney went into an even harsher lockdown
