Thank you for the enlightening quiz Abigail Boyd I had no idea how ingrained consultocracy was in our government. The vaccination Hub at Homebush run by #pwc was an astonishing revelation.

There is a need for trauma informed communication by government agencies in response to this horrific event. Just remember, PTSD often does not present immediately. Appropriate validation the moment someone discloses to you can often save years of therapy and ongoing distress.

Unfortunately government agencies front line staff often make the situation worse. I am talking about agencies where people disclose such as icare, service nsw etc. Well intentioned does not mean trauma informed. Blue Knot Foundation provides excellent training. Please use experts.

Thoughts for all the retail workers yesterday who swung into action to keep customers safe. Many of these are small shop owners. Please ensure they have support. This is how workers comp is intended to help. Insurers please escalate your care not harm #workerscomp #BondiJunction

I noticed smartly dressed security guard Faraz Tahir patrolling at Westfield when I was there before the slaughter began. The only man killed. A hero who gave his life trying to protect Eastern Suburbs shoppers. A refugee and Muslim hero of his faith. Rest In Peace.

It would be really good, truly respectful, for Westfield Bondi Junction to set up a fund to help the families of the victims. With a seriously big donation from the company. And boxes in the centre where the public could contribute. Please RT if you agree.

So sad. Apparently Dawnie was also a police officer's fiance. He was on the scene too at Bondi Junction. Her childhood sweetheart. That is just so so sad.

There is now talk of increased cooperation between states about #mentalhealth. If so, I hope they also address systems that are abusing people rather than helping. Some of these customer service lines are doing more damage than good, manned by people who refer everything on..

Is the #nswpol government so out of touch. All these murdered women and minns says he has ordered an inquiry? Pardon? How about some action, doesn't require inquiries... women are unsafe at work, at home, at play. WTF do something for a change!

If it takes a royal commission to get govt to finally take action on DFV, so be it. But the truth is we know what needs to be done in NSW - the sector has been telling us for decades - we’ve just never had a govt willing to fund the solutions. The Sydney Morning Herald smh.com.au/politics/nsw/h…

The justice system is failing women all over the world. Women are murdered in their homes, on the street and sexually assaulted and harrassed at work. Then we arent paid equally. We need #laws4women 2 keep us safe. Colonial systems were built 4 men by men. news.com.au/entertainment/…

Did you know that if you r a woman and seriously injured at work and victim of dv you cannot flee to another state or family? Was told today you r punished by insurers, forfeit your compo so have nothing 2 live on while ill therefore have to remain in danger. #dfv #nswpol

You have 2 ask what is going on? At last year's budget estimates (2023) icare NSW said they have not had a mechanism for tracking complaints until a few months ago yet a parliamentary review over 5 years ago pointed 2 same issue? How was this missed? Thousands of lives. #nswpol
