Congratulations to Prime Minister-elect Anthony Albanese and the Australian Labor Party on the federal election victory. We’re so excited to work alongside a Government committed to implementing the #UluruStatement in full. It’s clear that #HistoryIsCalling.

It's beyond time airlines made travel properly accessible for PWD, without these insults to people's dignity. @Graemeinnes you're a national treasure and my hero abc.net.au/radionational/…

Woke up this morning feeling very blessed to be disabled - I reckon my parents are pretty happy about it too. Feeling sorry for us and our families doesn’t help. Treating us equally, and giving us the choice and control over our own lives does

One of the best flag drops I've seen, show us some of the banners and posters you have for #InvasionDay2022. The flag is 20 meters wide by 10 meters long #AbolishAusDay #SurvivalDay #DayofMourning #AbolishAustraliaDay

A quiet reminder that when Justice Kenneth Hayne, head of royal commission into banking misconduct, refused to smile or even shake the hand of the Treasurer during a photo op in 2019, it was not considered the stuff of national calamity. @TamePunk is making a similar point.
