ARGHHHHH I just called @Ticketek_AU again for accessible bookings (this time for Taylor Swift), and they said we HAVE to fill out the online form and they’ll get back to us. BEEN WAITING 3 WEEKS FOR ANOTHER CONCERT FROM THAT FORM! How is that fair? Why do you make it harder?

Lorraine Finlay claims the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament would undermine human rights. This is wrong. I've joined with four other former Human Rights Commissioners to affirm that an Indigenous Voice to Parliament would uphold human rights. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

@JetstarAirways can you explain why I spent 20min on your chat function trying to book very simple disability support just for them to then say someone will call you back in 24 hours? Why have the chat function there for show if it can't solve the basics? @BeyondDSAPT #Disability

I know the weight/type of my chair (they are well within specifications) and the support I need (again not complicated) Why make it so hard? Is the chat function just for show? To say 'we are providing options for the disabled community'? A broken option is not an option at all.

DISINFORMATION ALERT Athletes were experiencing cardiac arrest BEFORE the vaccine to the point that there are entire sections in Cardio textbooks. Did she show that the rate was diff for vaxxed? Perhaps being an athlete is a dangerous occupation. Why are antivaxxers so stupid?
Young people don't suddenly die from heart conditions. So what's changed? Oh ye governments forced everyone to take an experimental substance. Criminal. The Covid19 Trials are coming.

I agree - I also hope that there will be senior management with lived experience of disability at this level so we can ensure BOTH Games are fully inclusive. @kurtfearnley @AUSOlympicTeam

The long runway to the Brisbane 2032 #Olympic and #Paralympic games begins with the appointment of Cindy Hook as CEO… adds to an increasing & impressive list of women sport managers at the top.
CEO of Deloitte Asia Pacific named as Brisbane 2032 boss, the second female to head up an Olympic organising committee. The board said to prioritise her “…proven background – and existing global contacts – in the business world.” smh.com.au/sport/the-winner-…
