Very important 🧵 - thank you, Emily!!! Sydney Trains Drivers & Crew are NOT on strike! The first my brother, a train driver, knew about this was via me scrolling Twitter this morning. I think he’d *know* if he was on strike or not. 😆 This is a lockout by the NSW Gov!!!

Rail workers turned up today ready to work. But in an aggressive high-stakes tactic, the NSW Government cancelled all rail services and blamed it on industrial action. Let's correct the record: rail services can continue to operate. Premier Dominic Perrottet shut them down.

Alexandra Smith I believe Perrottet at 2am decided the trains would not run today. They are locked out, not on strike. Workers are ready and willing. x.com/RTBUnion/statu…

I don’t believe in the concept of prophesy, but if I did I would declare Sally McManus to be our preeminent prophet.

Today would have been the 51st birthday of someone who was very brave until she couldn’t be brave any more. “Happy birthday” is not the phrase. But pausing to think of a woman who I came to know through her excellent friends, who miss her terribly.

Long overdue to lower the voting age to 16. It’s young lives we’re destroying with criminal climate change policy. Give them a say in their own future.

Good bye. Take your soulless, corrupt, bastardised government with you. Do not darken our nation with your shadow again. Tomorrow we wake up to a new Australia. Without you leading it. #auspol #AusVotes #BinNight

So bloody happy!!! #alp

If you are struggling or in crisis, please call Lifeline on 11 13 14 any time, night and day. There will always be somewhere there to talk to. After a double shift on the phones yesterday, I understand it’s an incredibly tough time of the year for many. 🙏🏼🤗❤️

So...Elon Musk let Andrew Tate back on Twitter, and Tate promptly used it to reveal his whereabouts to authorities in Romania who then arrested him. All because Greta Thunberg owned him so hard his little wee-wee fell off. Do I have that right? Please say I have that right.

Dear Twitterverse please help find my dog 🐪.

I was at work this morning and found myself in conversation with a woman in her late 70s or early 80s. I’ll call her Jane (not her name). I wasn’t sure where my talk with Jane was going for a bit, but then suddenly out of nowhere she started talking about Gough Whitlam.

I didn’t receive any teaching about mental health stigma in med school despite its devastating effects. So after I recovered & qualified as a doctor, I developed an anti-stigma programme. I received zero funding & support initially. So I paid out of pocket to deliver the Wounded

First Nations people issued a letter to all Australians, called ‘statement from the heart’. They asked to be recognised in the constitution. In a national vote the people of Australia overwhelmingly rejected them. #TheVoice For those who never bothered reading it before voting,
