Australia's diversity is our strength. And I’m proud our team is as diverse as the communities we represent. Different backgrounds, different perspectives, all making us a better government. On the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, we’re committed to making sure every Australian feels safe and respected. No matter what language you speak, or what faith you practice.

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the day the IRA bombed Warrington town centre and killed my son Tim and 3 yr old Johnathan Ball. Words can never describe how losing a child leaves a huge hole in your heart and your family. Eternal love Tim ❤️❤️

@HarrietHarman I dont remember you standing up for her when she was unceremoniously dumped from Woman's Hour, but please, do correct me if I'm wrong.

Impossible to overstate the importance of Jenni Murray to the movement of women that changed our politics, economy & our society; that changed our lives. She was the broadcasting wing of the women’s movement. We all owe her. RIP. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Dame Jenni Murray, best known for presenting BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour from 1987 to 2020, has sadly died at the age of 75. Mohit Bakaya, Controller, BBC Radio 4 and Director of BBC Speech Audio has paid tribute tribute to Dame Jenni. “Jenni Murray was a formidable voice in British broadcasting who was warm, fearless and beloved by listeners,” he said. “During her decades at Woman’s Hour, she helped shape the national conversation with intelligence, rigour and a remarkable ability to connect with audiences. Jenni leaves an indelible legacy on generations of listeners. “We are profoundly grateful for her outstanding contribution to Radio 4, and she will be deeply missed.”

Remember this article from Jenni Murray in 2017. Totally reasonable, nothing extreme, just saying men can’t be women. Then there was all the protests, calls to cancel talks, The BBC warned her, restricted her on air, and by 2020 she left Woman’s Hour. But she never backed down, even as the pushback continued for years. This is how speaking honestly costs you in public life. But she was forever right. Rest in peace, brave and courageous Jenni Murray. thetimes.com/article/490f2f…

@bindelj I'd even nurtured a hope that she might return to Woman's Hour. No doubt those hypocrites at the BBC will now go through the motions of paying tribute to her, after all they've put her through.

Terrible, tragic news. She was the best. Treated really badly by the BBC after she dared to speak out about you know what. She was absolutely disgusted with the powers that be. Maybe it will all come out now. Jenni was a true journalist, no one quite like her.

This is so sad. I always enjoyed talking to Jenni. A huge loss to @BBCWomansHour BBC News - Dame Jenni Murray, former BBC Woman's Hour presenter, dies at 75 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@sirwg202110 She didn't join in prayers with "everyone", she joined in prayers with the women; she wouldn't have been allowed to join in prayers with the men.

Hannah Spencer MP: “This morning I’ve been at Madina Mosque and joined in prayers with everyone for Eid.” What will she do after Eid? She’ll have to attend Friday prayers to keep the charade going—and, no doubt, pray for the “resistance”.

@dignityindying Um, does she not know how a bicameral parliamentary system operates? This is our democracy in action, not the absence of it.

"FEAR OF REJECTION" LIDL WORKER WINS £45K PAYOUT AFTER DEFYING BOSS ON SAFETY! Ryan Toghill secretly used heavy powered pallet trucks at the Ystrad Mynach store, despite his manager explicitly banning him for safety reasons. Sacked for gross misconduct, he sued claiming his ADHD caused crippling “fear of rejection” sensitivity, making him appear totally remorseless in the disciplinary hearing. Cardiff employment tribunal ruled unfair dismissal, Lidl failed to make reasonable adjustments for his condition. He’s been handed £45,147 compensation. Britain’s workplaces officially run on feelings now!

At Southmead Hospital in Bristol, patients asked for a few Union Jacks to brighten the place up. Volunteers put up four flags. Within hours, management ordered them taken down because “flags can carry different meanings” and “unexpected displays can feel unsettling”. If the Union Jack is “unsettling” on a British hospital, maybe the problem isn’t the flag – it’s the fact our own institutions are now embarrassed by the country they serve.
