Congratulations Josephine Josephine Rowe well deserved, beautiful collection.

“Whether we were looking for diversity or not, it was there smack-bang in front of us — so many rich influences, so many distinct points of view, so many ways of depicting the current landscape...“ (Judges’ report) 2020StellaPrize shortlist will be announced Friday 6 March.

The whole 'people can work from home' advice is driving me nuts. Not everyone can work from home. The working class who run the metro, transport our food, stop people fighting at the supermarket...etc can't work from home! They can't afford to and we can't afford them to.

Congratulations to Jess Hill. Powerful book everyone should read.

I am here for the black child who only see few representations of themselves on TV or in parliament. I am here for those Australians who believe we can be a better country.

Lost, disillusioned, confused, depressed, isolated, angry, scared, exhausted, pissed off, need a break from social media? Read a book. A really good book. Hell, read 3 great books. Read 300. Read books by authors whose lives do/don't mirror yours. Feed your heart. Read a book.

Leading is hard, leading in a global pandemic is hard. I am still grateful to live in this state. Thankful to the frontline workers yet to have a break. Thankful for the political leadership. Yes, we keep calling for change where needed. For now, we are Victorian.

When we are finally through this pandemic, let us never forget this moment when Scott Morrison, Josh Frydenberg, the Victorian state Liberals and the Murdoch press chose to undermine the data, the scientists, the leadership of Dan Andrews and 6 million Victorians.

So Alice Workman is heaping shit onto the wife of premier Dan Andrews another smart, successful woman. I know some good defamation lawyers Cath. & once again Alice #ThisisNotJournalism #IStandWithCatherineAndrews #auspol #springst

This is why people don’t come forward. The politicking, the blame shifting - none of which address the fundamental problems evident in the culture at Parliament House. I’m not surprised, just disappointed.
