Can you believe what we uncovered at Red Range, NSW? Eight MCGs worth of bushland like this is destroyed EVERY HOUR. The leading cause?

#breaking Following the tragic death of Black Caviar at the weekend my thread on my visit to her stud at a secret location gained 670,000 impressions. As a result @KylePollard @abcsport commissioned me to write about my concerns in full. Vale BC💔 abc.net.au/news/2024-08-1…

The panel included @ConnieBonaros and Frances Bedford. An enthusiastic group of students and I wish them well on their political careers.

Delighted to have been invited to speak to the second cohort of students of the Pathways to Politics program for women at my alma mater, The University of Adelaide. Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of joining a panel facilitated by the wonderful @ToryShepherd #pathwaystopolitics
