The worst of Australia’s callousness and xenophobia worsened during the pandemic. Contempt our country has shown for migrants and refugees grew and spread to any conceivable ‘other’. As a society we need to ensure this bastardry never happens again #InternationalStudentsAustralia

Australia has a long history of ignoring how its domestic policy compares against international human rights standards, particularly when it comes to locking up black kids. indigenousx.com.au/we-must-raise-…

Whatever a society chooses to do, and irrespective of how many people get vaccinated and re-vaccinated, it is unlikely to change the fact that eventually essentially everyone, everywhere will get exposed to the virus multiple times in their life time. 3/

A society can choose to delay the moment when SARS-CoV-2 becomes endemic possibly indefinitely so, but the societal costs of doing so are huge and incremental. Any effective pandemic mitigation measure comes at a cost, and pretending otherwise does not strike me as reasonable. 4/

The best we can do, I believe, is to smoothen the transition of the virus into endemicity, try to reduce harm through primarily light-touch measures, and avoid adding to the pandemic's toll by implementing impetuous, poorly thought-out interventions. 6/

Australia leaves families in the lurch - until the last minute - after only agreeing to recognise those jabbed with mixed vaccines 48-hours before the border opens. My report: latika.me/315wulA

I wanna hear from professionals at DFAT, who spent years studying foreign affairs, emergency response and pub pol only to spend the past 19 months carrying out the fed gov's border restrictions. Tearing their hair out? #strandedAussies #reconnectAustralia #LoveIsNotTourism

Imagine if the Aus gov was forced to look after and deal with large numbers of citizens locked out of another country. The cries of blue murder would be deafening. #strandedAussies #ReconnectAustralia #auspol

Overseas Aussies, as well as people here with close OS family, were chucked under the bus w/ barely an iota of compassion from either govts or people. Visa holders still restricted This should prompt massive national soul searching. The fact “we” (largely) didn’t even care!

A young girl no doubt traumatised, a family coming to terms with their own, and the man who had her being investigated. I find the constant drip feed from WA police self-serving and, in my humble opinion, not okay.
