The AMA understands that treatment for the refugee known as Ali cannot be provided on Nauru. To leave a dying man without the palliative care and the cultural support he needs would be unethical and unconscionable bit.ly/2JZii0b #Nauru #auspol #WorldRefugeeDay

Whether you believe that refugees should be allowed into this country or not, this is not how human beings treat each other. This is not how we foster love and acceptance. This is not who we are.

My research basically revolves around sexism and language in the Australian parliament, and I can tell you without hesitating that Senator Leyonhjelmm’s comments were sexist abuse:

Sooo if I don’t know the speed limit I’m cool to just go 250km/h right??? There’s no sign!! I mean I haven’t seen a road with a speed limit of 250km but I haven’t seen ALL roads have I?? I don’t KNOW I’m breaking the law.

The Australian Government must ensure the health of asylum seeker children and their families. They are in our care. It’s our responsibility. It’s simply the right thing to do #Nauru #auspol #asylumseekers ama.com.au/media/ama-call…

The AMA calls on the Government to allow a delegation of independent Australian doctors to examine asylum seekers on Nauru - adults and children - and to report their condition to Parliament and the Australian people ama.com.au/media/ama-call… #auspol #Nauru

Need a refresh about how our new #PM rose to power to be #PM today? Julian Burnside piece from 2014 on #Morrison is a great place to start “Scott Morrison's calculated cruelty is his legacy” theage.com.au/opinion/scott-… #auspol #libspill

Family has called for an end to institutionalised racism on the final day of the inquest into the death of expectant Wiradjuri mother, Naomi Williams. She died after being turned away from Tumut Base Hospital in January 2016 without seeing a doctor.

Thank you Julia Gillard! The way you handled stress under fire as our PM was an inspiration to me tonight for handling @NonStopTom on Hard Quiz. #HardQuiz

Neil Punchard leaked a victim's new address to his friend, who had threatened to kill her & strap bombs to his kids. Punchard told him to 'fuck her over' and 'let loose on her'. She had to go into hiding. Punchard won't even have a conviction recorded. theguardian.com/australia-news…

I'm lost for words. One of my ASRC team rang to comfort the wife of #Salim who died on #Manus yesterday only to discover she was the one breaking the news of his death to her. Petaren’t Dutton Dept had not rang her to let her know her husband had died. I'm lost for words.
