@giantmagellan Congratulations to the GMT project for hitting this milestone!

Progress update: The Giant Magellan Telescope is now 40% under construction. Backed by $1 billion in private funding, we have a tested design and full-scale progress underway. See the latest in U.S. manufacturing advancements: giantmagellan.org/americanimpact #giantdiscoveries

Celebrating Public Education Day, because everyone should have access to quality education and the opportunities it provides. #ProudToBePublic

Maximizing returns on @NSF investments, the Giant Magellan Telescope will coordinate with today’s most powerful observatories—including @NASA's JWST, @VRubinObs, @almaobs, @LIGO, and @ESO's E-ELT. Explore how synergy powers discovery: giantmagellan.org/2025/04/27/6-o… #giantdiscoveries

Peter Dutton’s track record on Medicare isn’t just bad — it’s dangerous. Let’s not forget it this election. #CostofDutton #Auspol #Ausvotes #DontRiskDutton #WeCantAffordDutton Authorised by D. Loasby, GetUp, 52 Reservoir St, Sydney

@DavidLammy Yes @DavidLammy, we can´t forget about Sudan. Breaking the blackout could change everything. It’s possible, but it needs a champion. Please stand up for #Sudan! paema.ngo/reconnect-sudan

The war in Sudan has caused the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Millions are in turmoil. Innocent civilians are in desperate fear for their safety. I'm bringing together the international community to end the violence and improve humanitarian access.

Once again, for the 10th time in 12 years, I’m attending the Palm Sunday Rally for Refugees here in Canberra. We really need to end Australia’s mistreatment of refugees and asylum seekers!

Equity in education is fundamental to a fair go. That’s why, at this federal election, I'm voting to support fully funded public schools. #ForEveryChild

@curiouswavefn Not sure “published shortly after his death, but written earlier” really needs the phrase after the comma!

Granted, this was Oliver Sacks, but writing is one of the very few professions where you get better with age.
