Troubled that the obvious toughest team isn’t in the lead right now.
I have divided the alphabet up into 4 equally tough fighting teams. But which team do u feel is the TOUGHEST

My GP strongly advised against my 30-something self getting AZ several weeks ago, but he noted his advice could/would change if the outbreak got worse. Clearly it has, so I've just booked my first AZ shot for next week. Here are two pieces that helped cement the decision. (1/3)

Well, it happened. I just received a Facebook message of a screen recording of an Instagram Reel that's a Tweet sharing a TikTok video.

Standing in the queue for my second Pfizer vax at RPA, already feeling emotional, when I watched as two nurses took the time needed to properly support a patient with a needle phobia.

They were gentle and respectful. Communicated clearly and were patient as the man deliberated about the choices offered. Moved by the professionalism and humanity in such a busy scene.

The Auslan interpreter's take on the naked deer-startled sun-bakers is worth all the replays.
🦌🍆🍑 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

So just to be clear, in a post-midnight press release, the government is threatening to send Australian citizens to jail for five years if they try to get home from India - to protect Australian citizens. What an utter statement of failure of our quarantine arrangements.

Looking forward to working with these two again soon. It hasn't always been easy.

Too much to say on a sad day. But to mates and colleagues at @abclifeau: You’ve knocked it out of the park with your mission and KPIs—that's clear in the figures—but also brought cultural diversity and innovation to a sclerotic org and media landscape that desperately needs you.

When we developed #TheFamilyLaw for SBS, we knew we weren't writing a show about race. But we were cogniscent we were breaking ground by writing the first TV show with an Asian-Australian family—requiring a core cast of roughly 90% Asian characters. So ... did the talent exist?

We all agree that March was six years long and April has lasted six minutes, right? Can we get some sort of explanation on that. Genuinely baffled by how elastic time is right now, but more by how we seem to be experiencing it in similar ways.

Video games? The arts. Comfort novels? The arts. Streaming TV? The arts. Chillout music? The arts. In our most dire hours, art keeps us sane, lights the dark, ensures we stay human. We turn to art for help. So make sure you help the arts through—and on the other side of—this.

“I say to all New Zealanders: the government will do all it can to protect you. Now I’m asking you to do everything you can to protect all of us. Kiwis—go home.” “If in doubt, don’t go out.” NZ sets the standard for clear communication in the Antipodes. theguardian.com/world/2020/m…
