Totally agree: where is the PM, where is the plan to “live with COVID-19”, where is the vaccine plan and why oh why are so many visitors allowed when they are so many Aussies desperate and pleading to come home? #qanda

Thanks @SarahMoran for all your awareness. After your Twitter signposting, I got in early and had my #COVID19Vaccination today 💪🙏 One step closer to be hopefully able to see my family🤞

The issue is not about the vaccine acquisition last year by Australia. It is about the snail pace and poorly communicated benefits to the public which is the fundamental issue. #QandA

Please @ScottMorrisonMP @karenandrewsmp be honourable, and compassionate for this poor family. Don’t separate them now when they should be together and just let them go home #hometobilo

Such a great initiative @SarahMoran - I’ve signed :) Please @GregHuntMP allow Gen X, Gen Y and Gen Z to be vaccinated now so we keep Aus safe. chng.it/xyj45sYJ via @ChangeAUS #vaccinateme

I want to be able to see my parents in the UK and for them to meet their 7mth old granddaughter. We need a higher vaccination rate to open the borders - a better rollout strategy here is needed.

Great to see this type of valuation is possible for founders and in a current COVID-19 business climate 👏
Scoop: A recent Sequoia secondary investment in Zapier valued the company at over $4 billion. It's quite the achievement for the enterprise software startup, which has raised just one round of venture capital, a $1.3 million seed in 2012. theinformation.com/articles/…

Today is a reminder, a painful one, that democracy is fragile. To preserve it requires people of good will, leaders with the courage to stand up, who are devoted not to pursuit of power and personal interest at any cost, but to the common good.

10. I could not have asked for any better place to start my professional career than at CEA. Thank you @_AnnaRooke and @mafesto for having me as part of the CEA team, taking the time to guide me, and trusting me with elements across the organisation.

T-shirts were always the first line item on any @QUTCEA event budget. Not having t-shirts was never an option 🙅‍♂️ There’s no better way to capture all those memories.

Remember the $250m rescue package that Scott Morrison announced for the arts and culture? The government hasn't spent a cent yet, and the money won't flow until November theguardian.com/culture/2020…

Thinking of family, friends and colleagues in Melbourne and VIC 😔 So unfortunate that Stage 4 restrictions are required..... Stay safe and sending strength to get through this 💛

AFL WAGs who were allowed to travel to QLD and then went on to breach hub lockdown rules have made me so angry. What a slap in the face to everyone who would do anything to visit family interstate at the moment. Time to acknowledge the privileged position you’re in. #AFL

Can @PaulFletcherMP give a direct and sincere answer rather than just rehearsed answers? Know and back your own portfolio - show more substance for backing for arts, screen and entertainment for cultural and economic impact #QandA

Finally.... it would be great if the arts weren’t always last on the list for funding #arts #artsareessential
Australia's struggling arts industry will receive a $250 million coronavirus rescue package from the Government. Where should this money go? Has it come in time? ab.co/3fVy7EJ
