#PrimeMinister Jacinda Ardern resigned today. I am not surprised nor do I blame her. Her treatment, the pile on, in the last few months has been disgraceful and embarrassing. All the bullies, the misogynists, the aggrieved. She deserved so much better. A great leader. Thanks PM!

No, the pandemic isn’t over. #necropolitics Covid19 deaths in Australia (January 1-13) 2023 : 659
