Eight of my Australian bank’s C-suite play female touch football together. It’s great team building and nurturing of a competitive spirit. The problem is injuries are unavoidable, even with non-contact sport. In six months they had 3 broken fingers, a sprained ankle, and an ACL tear. They missed 20 days of work collectively. I can’t even imagine the emotional turmoil they went through. When our COO broke her finger I took it upon myself to assist. I took her to hospital appointments, wrote her in-meeting notes, and prepared her 3 meals a day. I did my part. It was during a hospital follow-up appointment that I did something out of line. We were reviewing her x-ray, it was bad, a severe fracture of the phalanges. Dr Priya was telling us about the recovery time. During a quiet moment I turned to our COO, “You know maybe it’s not a great idea for you girls to be playing these sports all the time. This is the fourth injury this year alone. We need you at the bank.” That was last year. This year our bank achieved Gold Tier status at the Australian LGBTQ+ Inclusion Awards. Don’t be afraid to get out of line when it matters.

I marginalise my colleagues in the workplace. Today we faced a code red emergency. A prospectus document due to be published had used an old company logo of the client. Making matters worse, the company had recently undergone major rebranding to align more with its equity and inclusion goals. To plaster their old logo on every page of the document would end our relationship with them and cause severe embarrassment. The panic was palpable. No one had a clear solution and everyone was shouting over the top of each other. In the heat of the moment I yelled “GUYS, we need to rerun our ChatGPT prompts, not the edit word document.” I immediately realised my mistake. My face turned red. Even after years of idealogical rethinking my old habits of gendered language still slip out. As they say old habits die hard.

@DrewPavlou Violence is never the answer. But if you keep ruffling feathers then don't be surprised if it comes knocking.

This communist Aboriginal activist from the latest Israel Flotilla thing once called me on Facebook Messenger and threatened to bash me Sam Watson - great guy

@7NewsMelbourne Once a year I get the train to work. It's important to retain our connections to everyday Australians.

Premier Jacinta Allan has defended doorknocking her electorate to secure support, six months out from the state election. Many locals were surprised to see the state's leader at their front door, but the premier says it is all part of her commitment to her constituents. @jacstanley7

@7NewsMelbourne The whole story is tragic. Two men lost their lives, and two Australians lost their freedom.

Chaos has broken out at the county court after the family of an arsonist being sentenced, lashed out violently, plunging the court into lockdown. The anger erupted after two young men were jailed for seven and a half years over a firebombing which killed two sleeping men. @phoebeworthley_

@SkyNewsAust I've been around the block long enough to know that every politician "lies". It's the same for all sides. When holding a politician to account for their promises, ask yourself, would you hold a poker player to account for bluffing?

Comedian Dave “Hughesy” Hughes has demanded an early election be called after the Albanese government "blatantly lied" by announcing changes to CGT after declaring it was off the table just 12 months ago. skynews.com.au/australia-news…

@TimWilsonMP I hate to see our country so divided

It is disappointing Anthony Albanese and his MPs laughed during my question about the impact of their higher taxes on families caring for people with disabilities. Share your story at notthetax.com.au

@realRick_AUS I understand how people could be angered by this kind of behaviour. But we must respect other's privacy.

Cuck boy is upset I’m supporting Australians over Indians Since when did so called Australians sell their souls for foreigners who shit in our streets?

@adamemedia1 This actually used to be a centrist politician before the right went completely off the wall

This is a “far-right” politician who was just elected in Australia. He proceeded to come out as gay and announce “I love immigrants.” Supporters are FUMING. Bro was a Trojan horse 😂

@AngusTaylorMP Small businesses are important to Australia. Xiao Mei at Happy Drink Cafe makes my caramel latte every morning. But don't expect them to last long without clear rules and government oversight.

To every Australian small business. We will fight Labor’s assault on your aspiration every day.

@IfindRetards It's true that the streets of Sydney and Australia were once all aboriginal. We need to be less concerned about skin colour and more focused on sharing our knowledge and cultures.

Retard tells white Australians to "Fuck off back to England" Calls out racists while being racist. Typical leftist retard.

@DaveSharma As a financial professional I can tell you that the stock market is not far away from gambling. Australians get involved without knowing the full risks involved. Seek professional advice before making decisions that could affect your financial future.

Under Labor’s new tax: — You can walk into a casino, come out $1000 ahead, and pay $0 tax — but if you make $1000 on shares/ETFs, you will pay $300-470 in tax — if you build & sell a business, the ATO now takes 30-47% of your gain Gambling is tax-free. Investing is punished.

@RobertStevenso9 Given how far right the right side of politics has moved, it's not hard to blame them.

Most Australians support centrist political parties. There is only one centrist political party in Australia at present and that is the Australian Labor Party. That is why Labor is in government and why it will remain in government.

@nexta_tv Virgo's parliament speech made me gleeful all day. Not something I expected from One Nation. I would trust this man with my kids.

🤯 Australians elected a politician from the far-right One Nation party — and he turned out to be gay with a Muslim immigrant boyfriend After winning the election, Jason Virgo revealed that he is in a relationship with a Muslim man from Indonesia, helped him obtain citizenship, and says most of his friends are migrants. At the same time, the politician continues to support strict limits on mass immigration to Australia. Whaat 😁

@visegrad24 As an Australian, it's hard to cast blame given our own history. Let's work towards mutual understanding between cultures.

Australia has imposed new sanctions on the Islamic regime Iran for mass-murdering its own population. Australian Foreign Minister has Penny Wong announced sanctions against 7 Iranian individuals and 4 entities for mass-killing protesters. Iran’s interior minister and deputy commander of law enforcement, Eskandar Momeni, is one the people sanctioned. Ruhollah Nasab, head of the Tehran branch of the Headquarters for Promoting Virtue and Preventing Vice, was also sanctioned for being in charge of an apparatus that monitors and surveils women and girls in public spaces to enforce mandatory hijab laws. Nasab is also one of chief designers of Iran’s "Protection of Cyberspace" plan, which severely restricts citizens' access to the global internet, social media platforms, and search engines.

@JEChalmers Great work. Now let's double that number!

Labor's investments in Medicare are delivering more bulk billing across the country. We've doubled the number of fully bulk billed GP clinics to 34 in our community of Logan and the southern suburbs of Brisbane since November 1. We built Medicare, and now we’re strengthening it for the future.

@Q2Quokka Greatest Australian prime minister in modern memory!

@AlboMP I hate being critical of the government, but why aren't we getting more fuel from China? Australians are suffering and our government thinks that we can just fix this ourselves or something ridiculous. Petrol doesn't grow on trees.

We're securing more fuel for Australia.

@RitaPanahi And I bet that makes you filled with glee 😒

Wow. One Nation would win up to 59 seats if an election were held today.

@europa I don't support his party but even I know when it's time to put politics aside. This is a powerful speech and gives me hope when I look at our politicians.

🇦🇺 A newly elected South Australian MP confirmed he is gay, broke down in tears, and called his Indonesian Muslim boyfriend the “love of his life” in his maiden speech to parliament. Jason Virgo represents the One Nation party, which is considered a populist conservative party. Before criticising current immigration levels into Australia, Virgo said his boyfriend of 11 years "is now a proud Australian," highlighted that most of their friends are non-Whites, and he said he "loves migrants."
