Oh, so *now* the Conservatives want to have a second vote about something that was clearly a fucking stupid idea the first time round

While my heart is filled with joy for Nadesalingam family being free in #biolela, remember no refugee policies have changed. Nothing is better for refugees. We need all refugee families on TPVs/SHEVs to be granted permanent protection & refugees evacuated from PNG and Nauru now.

Those politicians and public figures who share their joy over the granting of a permanent visa to Biloeal family without addressing those refugees who remain in Port Moresby& Nauru are hypocritical populists. It is a shame that they pretend everything is normal.

So pleased to hear the Nadesalingham family in Biloela has been granted permanent visas ❤️ #HomeToBilo

Pleasing to see Tony Abbott’s fierce opposition to the Indigenous Voice. Makes me ever more certain that the Voice is the way to go. #voteYes.

Saw this last night. Mind blowing. Couldn't recommend it more highly. Eryn Jean Norvill and the crew thoroughly deserved their standing ovation

Hmmm, let me think. Will I tolerate cruelty, human rights violations and rampant corruption for $250?

I have only briefly looked at Budget papers and would be grateful were someone to point me to the funding alocation for the anti-corruption body Morrison insists his government is determined to create.

I can’t stomach watching politicians both here in Australia and globally pretend to care about victims of war yet lock up such victims of war the minute they try seeking asylum in their countries, especially if they are black, brown or Muslim.

@phantomwhale I saw that, and thought "That MUST be a parody account". Surely, surely no member of our federal cabinet could be so clueless? What are they keeping the Emergency Response Fund for, if not to respond to emergencies? #muppets

You don’t get to ‘think about the women and children’ when you locked up women and children on prison islands as they fled war, and you’re currently imprisonning young men seeking safety in hotels instead of welcoming them

Remember today. Remember that untouchable power @AlexHawkeMP used to cancel #Djokovic visa is a power he could have used to free the 70 refugees in 9 years of detention, grant 20,000 humanitarian places for Afghanistan & let Murugappan family go #hometobilo. He blocks all of it.

If I’d been detained for 9 years, without charge or prospect of release, and I saw hundreds of people protesting for the release of a wealthy tennis player detained for a weekend, I would cry. I would cry until I had no tears left.

Novak Djokovic is being detained in the same place that refugees are held, some who’ve been detained for 9yrs.
They came to Australia to flee war and torture. He came to win a tennis match.
He will be allowed out. They won’t.
Imagine if compassion and outrage was consistent.
English
@AzimiMoz Couldn't care less about Djokovic. But Australia's treatment of asylum seekers is a national disgrace. Hang your head in shame @ScottMorrisonMP #auspol
English
The whole world is watching as Novak Djokovic is detained at Park hotel prison. As a refugee I was imprisoned there, & refugees are still imprisoned there in tiny rooms without fresh air. No one deserves this. Let’s not forget the people that will remain long after Novak leaves.

@DrShaneRRR Not alone, especially since I haven't done a PhD... Fond memories playing variety of those games, including that one #70sKid

I think I spent more time on this than I did my PhD.
Am I alone?

@MrJoshEarl Thanks for going ahead even though you couldn't come. 4 brilliant guests - so funny, so quick. Laughed my arse off. And thanks for the beer!

@AdamBandt Always makes me think of this tweet twitter.com/onyxaminedlife…

Replacing the words "the economy" with "rich people's yacht money" -How can we respond to COVID without sacrificing rich people's yacht money? -Saving the environment sounds nice but what about rich people's yacht money? -Medicare for all would destroy rich people's yacht money
English
When Liberals talk about the economy ‘roaring back’, they mean billionaires’ bank balances, corporate profits, and investment portfolios.
Most people aren’t feeling the so-called recovery. Many are working multiple jobs with crappy wages. It's tough.
The Liberals don't get it.
