Called it out cos I'd been to an excellent @UniMelb Respect education workshop yesterday......I’m tired of the unthinking, entitled male, pale & stale – even though I’m m,p,s myself. #menmustdobetter

Just overheard ..at the table next to me "the science was bad, I complained and I was accused of being misogynistic – but she was barely a female”...laughter from his two male colleagues. I got up and challenged the comment. He apologised but said it was ‘only a joke’.

@PatMcGorry How we might have thought that this would not be the outcome is similarly perplexing

Dear Ash, news of your tennis retirement has stunned the world. You march to your own drum with humility and a beaming smile. You are a winner in every sense and I admire you greatly. I wish you great happiness and health. 🚀

@pocockdavid 'Build it and they will come' doesn't fly much. Canberra and "Canberra" could embrace its place as a waypoint in the whole history of this land. Creativity will imagine and develop possibilities that you seek, David.
English
It's disappointing that having a convention centre and stadium in our national capital that can actually hold international events is seen as a "thought bubble".

Why do we accept this corruption? A moral & financial blackhole. Liberal Party donor Canstruct had just $8 in assets when awarded a $385 million contract to run Nauru detention centre. Now $1.6 billion in total (no tender for all $$). It’s why these refugees are still locked up.

@Kon__K @ScottMorrisonMP I don't know what the science is behind this but I'd like to know. I'm a scientist and people ask what the rationale is. Nothing obvious.
English
So now it’s 4 hours exposure which has no science behind it. @ScottMorrisonMP just moves the goal posts again to cover up his incompetency.
What do you exactly do?
If you were running a business or charity you’d have been fired by now for such constant failures of leadership

@sallymcmanus The selective inaction borders on deliberate social management.

Omicron means we need URGENT action by the Federal Govt to rollout booster shots to all aged & disability residents & staff. We do not want a repeat of the incompetent strollout of this year.
English
@sarahinthesen8 An attempt at quashing the discussion in the election run-up. Stay strong @sarahinthesen8 and all.

This is one of the most tone-deaf, out-of-touch things I’ve seen all year.
Honestly, the Murdoch press and Scott Morrison deserve each other. Just yuck!
Hugh Riminton@hughriminton
Good to know that in scoring Scott Morrison’s year, the Daily Telegraph reckons he turned alleged rape victim Brittany Higgins into a “net positive.”

@peripatetical Yes, not everyone has access to micropipettes, and without the greater possibility of residual.

We don't advise this - it is difficult to draw up 0.1mL reliably (an error of 0.05 mL wouldn't be uncommon), and potential to mistakenly give a full adult dose to a child (known high adverse event rate from early studies)
Gitte Frausing@nononsenseever
@suss_mark @PMGPSC @imgrund I just read through the Danish health authorities note on vaccination and it says they are allowed to use both the pediatric formulation as well as the adult in 1/3 of the dose (off label) when the pediatric is not available. They are urging vaccination off all children in Dec.

I do wonder if my team may have one of the best jobs in the world! Looking from and over the coastline of the Cooktown Botanic Gardens towards Finch Bay during a respite from maintenance along the Scenic Rim Walk @CookShire #cooktownbotanicgardens

@ProfPCDoherty Being an island definitely helped. Data on the distributed population across geography and climate zones needs to be included - our continent is not singular in this regard.

Number of Aussie women killed by male violence since 2014
491
So I ask you what’s the biggest threat?
If you’re tired of me tweeting about this imagine being a woman living with actual threat of this everyday.

@normanswan As at the medical level, there always have been processes to guide choices at that point. But decisions that grossly impact the situation rest on political ideology, exclusively.
English
You should try to listen. It’s a critical issue that needs to be clarified in the next month. Transparently. Who gets care if hospitals become overwhelmed? abc.net.au/radionational/…

What a time to be Australian. The Premier of our 3rd most populous state can’t understand that in our multicultural society people have family overseas. Or that as a trading nation we do business with others. People don’t just travel for leisure and for piss-ups in Bali, Premier

I hate this so much. So offensive and parochial. So devoid of empathy and ambition
English
@mrbenjaminlaw @jeliao Very true, but this extends down the generations. A genuine attachment to cultural identity is difficult, with challengers to that desire usually lurking in the background.
English
"It was an easy decision to suppress Cantonese in an effort to blend in. This didn’t actually work; instead, I felt a diminished sense of both identities."
Lots of migrants' kids will relate to @jeliao—on the sad struggle to retain your parents' language.

@RobbieTheDonkey @latingle It's also an average number that is skewed by where preferential treatment is applied. Who decides that preference and why?

I have just one question to start the day, amid all the shouting about Covid and national plans: why does my phone keep autocorrecting 'Spring' to 'Sprong'?
