@andrewjgiles And me, Andrew. Not and I.

Thanks Melbourne Polytechnic for hosting Kate Thwaites MP and I this morning at your Heidelberg campus - terrific to see locksmithing students in action.

More Australians in vocational education and training means more Australians on track to get secure, well-paid jobs. Which is why we’re continuing to roll out Fee-Free TAFE and VET places across the country.

@ianmiles It was an A-grade exhibition of intentional satire on our part, showcasing our nation's richly absurdist sense of humor, NOT a national embarrassment. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Here’s the natural way to whiten your teeth

Generalist skills. Generalist expertise. The science of complexity. The skilled whole person discipline required for multi morbidity. Greater than the sum of parts. Never degrade Generalism or General Practice. The theft of general practice must stop.

We are in the middle of a Covid wave. (I’m in Melbourne) I have just as many patients with Covid as in previous waves If you have respiratory symptoms, good chance it’s Covid If you’ve seen / heard what I have, you’d avoid it like the plague

We have always said that we need the Indigenous to let us know what they want and need for their people. In the Uluṟu Statement they did just that. Feeling gutted tonight that the referendum has shown Australia is not ready or open for a Voice to Parliament yet.

@DrSarahClarke see you @TheRACP Congress24. We will welcome you as warmly as I have been by @rcp @DrSarahMcNab @DrSarahjZaman @drsonyaburgess @dcam31

The Eriskay Pony is Scotland’s native horse. Its origins can be traced through written sources & stone carvings. Its ancestors are the undomesticated equine which roamed the forests and hills of Scotland before people lived here. - Comann Each nan Eilean 📸: @ruthonthehoof

It’s time to listen to ideas proposed by Indigenous people. Wont fix everything, but will be a step toward a more positive future for everybody. The no-sayers have zero solutions. #VoteYes My thoughts in @westaustralian this week.
