Sunset through my window tonight.

Midnight in Kyiv. Nothing has changed here - air defence is repelling a drone attack. See you in the morning.

Thinking of everyone in southeast Queensland and northern NSW. The sense of dread must be overwhelming. Although one thing that is clear from the coverage is how incredibly stoic and generous people can be. Take care, all. ❤️

You might have seen reports of the Liberal Party whining that I, as your community independent, spend too much time "opposing the opposition." Here’s what the major parties don’t get: THIS IS NOT ABOUT THEM. IT’S NEVER BEEN ABOUT THEM. IT’S ABOUT YOU. 🧵

Just went on a short walk along my street and saw 8 galahs, 5 noisy miners, 3 corellas and a rabbit and bandicoot #lutruwita #birds
