Excellent interview on ABC Melbourne today Zena Armstrong. Covered it perfectly

She now has her own bodyguards and no goat. Danielle two of the crew from HMAS Adelaide, docked in Eden and here to help.

ABC News So now Vic. NSW, QLD fire chiefs are all repudiating silly claims re hazard reduction shortfall. Guess Murdoch media and PM will now have to discredit them, as they did the group of retired fire chiefs who gave warnings

ZenaArmstrong Celeste barber Tks Zena, I share your concerns! CB’s fundraiser has snowballed, & despite good intentions & great generosity, it’s very problematic. If only she’d closed the NSWRFS fund as it gained momentum, & started a more diverse one. Now it depends on goodwill & overcoming legalities. 🤞

Mel is from Cobargo, New South Wales which was hit hard by the fires in Australia. She loves dishing out fresh salad🥬 Last night, Mel was able to sit down with her family for the first time in 9 days for a proper meal. #ChefsForAustralia

@SaysElizabeth ZenaArmstrong Unless they’re old, in which case they’re saints. Govt tries to artificially distinguish between “welfare recipients” and “pensioners” so they can abuse and vilify the former with the rhetorical support of the latter.

@Alymtaylor Yep. We need reliable single source info

President or Predator? tony kevin

Great to catch up with Danielle and Chris again at the Cobargo Recovery Centre, who with their team have been here since early January supporting and caring for their community and each other. A wonderful and dedicated team. Thanks again ladies, nice to chat again.

a major expenditure on new social housing would meet so many objectives: much needed new homes, jobs, economic stimulus , apprenticeships. Cash to those already in a house adds nothing extra to the community

Yes. Their social ‘values’ influence their economy decisions. They lack self-awareness, they live in their bubble of prejudices tony kevin

Discussing the critical importance of regional media with Peter Logue and Zena Armstrong in Cobargo. With Ray Martin and Robb Shaw-Velzen. Australia needs to drastically lift its game to ensure the survival of regional journalism and community discourse. Never more important.

Some extended interviews from Ray Martin’s doco, The Forgotten Australians on Prime 7 tonight. The devastating impact of bushfires and Covid on the arts community highlighted in the interviews ZenaArmstrong and The New Graces prime7.com.au/forgotten-aust…

Have you heard the one about the Govt’s $4 billion disaster fund that’s earned more interest for the Govt than it’s helped disaster victims? Watch Amanda Stoker try to explain it. They love an announcement, but they never deliver. #estimates

So this was the best pic the PMO could get? Eeek

Our thoughts are with the people and communities across QLD & NSW impacted by these catastrophic #flood events. 💔 With the release of the #IPCCReport last night, we know without faster emission cuts, more Australians will face worsening extreme weather events like this.

In 1993 the worst recorded floods hit North Eastern Victoria. Mark Veitch and Raina MacIntyre, then trainees in the Australian FETP were sent to establish surveillance for health issues resulting from the flood. They provide a framework for responding to public health issues.
