How can Voluntary Assisted Dying be anything other than an issue of conscience? Great to see Andrew Constance speaking such sense.

The PM can’t turn his back on NSW during this crisis. We need Jobkeeper. Now.

So much to do, but you’ve done so much more than most! Congratulations Jon.
During #Wimbledon 30 years ago, Pat Cash and I decided to start our own environment group. That group was @PlanetArk. I moved to Australia to start it and we created real change. This week #PlanetArk is 30 years old. Here’s Pat’s video from both of us #HappyBirthday

Latham might feed the tabloid press but unfortunately there are plenty (too many) takers.
📺Tonight on #MediaWatch: How Mark Latham feeds the tabloid press. Housing hype! Scary headlines and dud forecasts. And poking fun at the royal watchers. 9.15 @abctv

Alongside @GregPiperMP we're pushing for 100% of #coalash to get recycled, and roads are just the beginning!! There are potentially thousands of jobs in our coal regions to come from the clean-up @YasminCatley @Matt_KeanMP @AdamSearleMLC newcastleherald.com.au/story…

It was really good to be brought up to date with the excellent work being done at @HMRIAustralia but also to hear of research and education challenges and how they are being met.
Local politicians gained further insight into the amazing health & medical research conducted here in the Hunter at our annual Local Politicians Roundtable event today. @ProfCCollins @PeterWark1710 @MJA_Editor @KateRWashington @GregPiperMP @JodieH_MP @crakanthorp @mummajulz

This #Inauguration2021 showed the generosity of spirit #JoeBiden has, and what a small person #DonaldTrump rump really is, and always was! #NewDayInAmerica

Oh my God, the literacy. The adult vocabulary. The complete sentences. The elevation of semi-colons over exclamation marks. How I've missed thee.

“Gorman managed to write a few lines a day and was about halfway through the poem on Jan. 6, when pro-Trump rioters stormed into the halls of Congress, some bearing weapons and Confederate flags. She stayed awake late into the night and finished the poem” nytimes.com/2021/01/19/books…

Crossfire of forest use concerns Hunter mountain bike riders. "It just beggars belief we could have such a conflict of uses, with something as passive & family-oriented as a mountain bike park...which can be exposed to the risk from hunters." newcastleherald.com.au/story… @GregPiperMP

The very rare Wollemi Pines have been around since prehistoric times. From today their existing protections will be further boosted so they survive for millions of years more. They are the first site in NSW to be declared an Asset of Intergenerational Significance!

It's weird how so many people who ominously say "do your research" before getting the vaccine haven't done any research and don't realize that their vague concerns have all been researched and answered
