@kateStrasdin @nasjonalmuseet Did you coin the term “Maudrobe”? It is certainly a very dazzling collection

Visiting the Queen Maud exhibition twenty years ago at the V&A was a pivotal moment for me, seeing a show that used dress to tell a life story. Here one of her trademark style gowns, c1909 by Laferriere @nasjonalmuseet #fashionhistory

A Greens' aged care inquiry has discovered there's no legal basis for Labor removing human oversight of algorithmic assessments, and the department is exploring options to reinstate clinical override. Letting the algorithm rip has been a disaster. Put humans back in charge.

The mother pleaded with the court to stop her ex-husband from seeing their daughters. The judge denied her. He killed all three children. Yet somehow, the blame is still placed on the mother. It is no surprise this article was written by a man.

Penny Wong stuns Jonathon Duniam by exposing leaked Liberal Party talking points which reveal they’ve been instructed to “Create doubt about fuel supply” 🔥🔥 Business as usual for the Libs. 🙄 #auspol

"Job providers are still refusing phone appts, forcing welfare recipients to travel. How bad does the fuel crisis need to get before g'ment considers suspending obligations?" ALP says they punish providers who do the wrong thing. Everyone, even the Ombudsman, knows this a lie

It’s good to see public pressure is causing a slow down in Vice Chancellors’ seven figure salaries. But there needs to be a salary reversal. We want VCs to be there for education, not personal profit. We need universities to be educators, not greedy corporations. #auspol

Outstanding #4Corners tonight about the spivs driving universities into the abyss. Neoliberalism is destroying universities.

A Trump whim - costing so many lives, a million Lebanese their homes & the prospect of massive global recession. Meanwhile weapons & fossil fuel profiteers reap billions. And this is the ally we are sending billions to - for mythical subs??! Madness abc.net.au/news/2026-03-2…

Community pressure is working - we need to keep this up. Labor is realising that Australians want and deserve a fair return for the sale of our gas to other countries. This can help fund much needed cost-of-living measures. War profits of multinational gas companies are skyrocketing - now is the time for a 25% tax on gas exports. This is urgent. Get in touch with your MP and join the push. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

"Surely Jim Chalmers cannot argue that we are unable to afford the FBT exemption for EVs but we can afford to hand $4.8 billion a year in fuel subsidies to some of the world's most profitable resource companies." | Monique Ryan satpa.pe/cg7zDGy

The PM is gaslighting us into thinking the work on gambling reform is done. But it’s over 1000 days since the Murphy report and the Gov hasn’t implemented a single recommendation. They should be ashamed. #auspol #politas

David Marr & the Late Night Live team on strike. We’re asking 4 fair pay, real jobs & secure work. We’re asking to be backfilled when we take leave. We’re asking 4 our jobs not to be taken by AI. You need news you can trust, now more than ever #QualityNewsQualityJobs @withMEAA

ABC’s Alistair Bates out in Karratha WA can barely stay on his feet as Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle intensifies & heads south towards Perth. “Well I think we’re going to have to leave Alistair there…” These ABC journos out there slugging it out, deserve decent pay. #Abc

Stop. Rewarding. Incompetence.

In mid 2022 I drew a diagram showing what Australia could have if we didn’t pursue #AUKUS submarines. At the time I did not fully appreciate the mess that AUKUS would become but, I did understand our fuel reserve vulnerability. #auspol

"It's time to call BS on the idea that we can't afford to look after Australians. "Subsidies that largely go to Clive Palmer, Gina Rinehart, BHP, Rio Tinto are growing faster than the NDIS." @R_o_d_C on 🇦🇺's runaway fossil fuel subsidies. #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/3PHIcMu

The gas cartel has swiftly rolled out a campaign to preserve their wartime profits from OUR gas. @AlboMP has the numbers in the House and the support of Greens in the Senate to ensure struggling Aussies benefit from high international gas prices. #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

Headlines from the past 24 hours. Sexual abuse and violence against women and children. Yet our media rptedly reports the perpetrators as being "good guys" "loving fathers" or "struggling with mental health issues". And our politicians are silent. 😠 #auspol #DV #VAW #ChildAbuse

Investment in CSIRO has been declining in real terms for decades. The result is shocking - recent cuts mean there have been more job losses under the Albanese govt than under Abbott, and key capabilities like climate modelling are being reduced. Funding in MYEFO was welcome, but temporary. The upcoming budget is the real test. It must deliver long-term investment to rebuild national science capability. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/environme…
