Bitter sweet this #IWD2022 at RAID and ACIAR as we say goodbye and celebrate the achievements of our Comms Officer Ebony Ackland. Special mentions to RubyAnnandJones and RAID President Belinda for your contributions!

Got to contribute to this ACIAR blog piece for #IWD2022 alongside some really excellent women I admire and respect very much. We unpack what equality means to us and how we can do better when it comes to gender equality!

Happy and sad tears today!

In Australia abortion was decriminalised in: 2021 in SA 2019 in NSW 2018 in QLD These are hard won rights. This is recent history. People with uterus' are constantly being controlled. These views are on our doorstep, too.

Reminder: what you do at the polling booth matters. Think of the future of not only yourself but generations to come. Please.

Sugarcane pulp powers 30 per cent of this city's houses, is there more opportunity for this bioenergy? #ClimateAction abc.net.au/news/rural/202…

Gas is as dirty as coal. We need to move to a clean energy future, not build new houses and flats that lock people into the dirty fuels of the past. We need to start now. theguardian.com/australia-news…

This ruling was never about caring for people. It's always been about controlling them.

the American Medical Association saying [the criminalisation of abortion], “would lead to government interference in the patient-physician relationship, dangerous intrusion into the practice of medicine, and potentially criminalizing care.” Sickening. forbes.com/sites/robertha…

We will never end oppression against children and disabled people inside of capitalism. Capitalism deems people’s worth as equal to their production capacity, children and disabled folks can’t produce to the standards capitalism expects, therefore they are looked at as less than.

I'm a feminist but I was late to a feminist conference this morning because I couldn't work out the parking and had to ask a man for help... Wishing all my @amnestyoz activists luck tonight at @GuiltFemPod with the one & only DeborahFrances-White launching the Aus&NZ tour in Adelaide!

BREAKING: Biden will pardon *everyone* in the US with a simple cannabis possession offence under federal law. No one should go to jail for smoking a joint. They're on the path to making cannabis legal in the US. We can legalise cannabis here too.
