Dear @Dom_Perrottet,
Please know that staged photo-ops of men drinking beer and pressers with zero women present are offensive. And they send a deeply disturbing message. btw, I'm a middle-aged man. #COVID19nsw #nswpol

Exactly eight years ago I was on a leaky boat in the middle of the ocean, desperately wishing to reach the land. But when I finally reached the land, I was detained instead of being given the protection I needed.
Today, I am still in detention. Today, I take my wish back.

Had a COVID test this week. Three things worth mentioning: only one car before me in the drive thru queue; negative result came back in 14 hours; AND the wand is smaller and doesn’t hurt your brain any more. Please get tested if you have any symptoms.

So 30 people went to a party, 24 now have covid. The 6 that didn’t get it were vaccinated health workers.
I’m losing my mind that we aren’t all vaccinated already.

🦌🍆🍑 TFW you and your mate sunbake naked on a beach, get startled by a deer, run into a national park and get lost, require SES and police assistance, and then get fined $1000 each because you breached Sydney's COVID public health orders

Just published an article with @ben_hr showing CALD communities have easier access to cancer information from overseas health and local ethnic organisations than Australian sources. Even with fatalistic beliefs on cancer, people often accept treatment. link.springer.com/article/10…

I support the #UluruStatement because it’s time that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are included in our Constitution. @fromtheheartau
