@AFL @barrettdamian @Nat_Edwards Thanks @nat_edwards for sharing your experiences as part of IWD. Poignant.

It may only be one game but @barrettdamian believes the Swans can dream "pretty loftily" after last night. He and @Nat_Edwards break down the season opener on AFL Daily.

So excited to see @nfp_nerd appointed to lead @ACNC_gov_au - Sue is a genuine champion for smart, well-run and impactful charities and NFPs, and will do an incredible job regulating, supporting and inspiring the sector. Good luck Sue! probonoaustralia.com.au/news/2022/11/a…

@Mr_Foyst Varies state to state - where are you?

@_JamesFarrell hi mate, what can we do about smoke drift from a neighbour?

Incredible #Robodebt Royal Commission livetweeting from @SquigglyRick and @DarrenODonovan showing public servants knew the scheme was unlawful but permitted its heinous roll-out. Gobsmacking, heartbreaking, eye-opening, terrifying. Follow them for more.

@Marcorizzi83 Law academics aren't great at co-authoring (or they weren't when we did some empirical work on this: classic.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/Mo…)

Casino 'high roller rooms' are essentially the only public enclosed spaces where smoking is permitted in Queensland. I recently gave evidence at @QueenslandParl1, calling for this loophole to be closed to deliver better health outcomes for workers and patrons.

Over 250,000 Australians will die from cancers caused by cigarette smoking over the next 25 years daffodilcentre.org/news/over-2500… There's still so much work to do to address the harms of smoking - for governments, health services, advocates & experts, and the community

Some really sensible reforms have been proposed by @qldhealth to reduce the negative effects of smoking in Queenslanders. While industry will certainly push back, you can have your say at getinvolved.qld.gov.au brisbanetimes.com.au/politics/queen…
