Tears shed as Ballarat Hospice build begins ift.tt/2MpLQIW

Finished watching Vikings last night and spent some time wondering why such strong civilisations die out. Today I realised why. It’s when leaders think me is more important than we.

Our Meals on Wheels service has been operating for 50 years. But, for most of its clients, it’s more than just a meal and, for most of its volunteers, it’s more than just a job. Today we are celebrating Meals on Wheels Day and thanking all our wonderful volunteers like Brian. 👏

In 2018 why does someone have to “confess” their bisexuality to a potential partner on live TV like it’s a dirty little secret. Should not even be an issue let alone TV beat up fodder. Absolutely disgraceful.

This is the final week of operation at our Emergency Food Relief Drop Off Centre & we're calling for last minute donations to continue support of residents with food security issues. Please drop off non-perishable food/hygiene items to Morshead Park b/w 10am-12pm up to Friday.

City of Ballarat’s draft "Community Engagement Policy" is now available for public comment. There’s a quick survey as well as an opportunity to do a submission: mysay.ballarat.vic.gov.au/draft-communit…

Toughest revelation to swallow of 2020 for me was just how broken Australian journalism is. I feel let down by almost all of it. There's like a dozen people that are properly good at it in the entire country; 'questioning the entire point of the profession' levels of unhelpful.

THREAD, BREAKING: Det Sgt Kevin Carson of Ballarat, who tirelessly investigated the scourge of clergy abuse in his community & terrible suicide toll, today receives an Australian Police Medal. I can think of no-one more deserving. He’s a fine man. Some words I wrote about Kevin:

Today is #WorldCancerDay Wishing strength and peace to those impacted by cancer Proud to support the incredible work of our #MedicalResearch community Thankful to those who provide treatment and care Loving and missing my daughter Sinead Maybe you can share a photo too...
