Taking a moment to appreciate the face of Australia this last month has been a gay woman of colour - and the most talented footballer this country’s ever seen. We’re witnessing a crucial turning point in history. Right in front of our eyes.

Can someone offer the ref a free eye exam? #Matildas

The FIFA women's world cup really has been the best piece of state sanctioned queer propaganda I have seen. Sam Kerr single handedly turning half of all female spectators from straight to questioning has been a spectacular work of art to observe 😍 #matildas

Given labor's recent trajectory, the latest announcements should come as no shock. Yet I am shocked. Gutted. For the end of what remains of the vision of public housing, bulldozed and replaced with social-private hybrid housing, the neoliberal proxy that isn't fooling anyone

he got caught smoking a single dart and was gone two days later, that's how insanely powerful the public health lobby is in this country

In all today's news let's spare a thought for members of the 'Restore Democracy Sack Dan Andrews' Party for whom today must be bittersweet. They got what they wanted, but they also need to disband or rebrand as a party. Raising both a celebratory and commiserative glass I'm sure

Tragic to learn about another drug-related death at a Victorian music event. Meanwhile in the ACT (and soon in QLD), pill-testing is saving lives. VIC can't keep lagging behind when lives are at stake. I hope the new premier will have a fresh approach. heraldsun.com.au/truecrimeaustr…

Today's results are very telling. Telling of the power of misinformation & distraction tactics. But most importantly, telling of how underneath Australian proud "larrikin" persona is a stark & saddening level of political apathy, generally & towards our first nation communities

For #publichousing tenants, having to relocate from their home due to estate renewal can cause significant and sustained stress. New #AHURIResearch found that the way a planned relocation and/or renewal is communicated can make a difference. Learn more → bit.ly/3sTOXA0

Real action on the cost of living crises, one ham at a time 🥴

Australia cannot be a real country, they’re president is literally called elbow???

The days when we were angry about a proposed $7 tax at the GP seems like a distant, laughable memory. The erosion of Medicare feels like we are on a rapid trajectory to American-esc inequity in healthcare access. We must make it clear to our fed govt that this cannot continue!

I cannot get my head around the Budget finding only $111 million a year for additional mental health services while we’re still happy to give the fossil fuel industries $14.5 billion a year in subsidies.

While there is work to be done when it comes to pedestrian safety and parking, banning hireable e-scooters in Melbourne CBD is extremely shortsighted and regressive. I hope Port Phillip and Yarra do not follow this lead, and instead look for ways to boost micro mobility options!

when the AI bubble pops I'll be swooping in and buying those data centres and turning them into dining precincts. i'm talking a Guzman Y Gomez, a Grilld, a Rolld, a Coffee Club, a Fratelli Fresh, a Strike Bowling

As Melbourne gears up for a busy summer of gigs, protests, and new Square/ Metro opening – Vic Police have turned the whole CBD into a “designated area” for suspicion-free searches. In a force already shown to racially profile, this is spatial injustice. theguardian.com/australia-news…
