Can we vote this in as our new national anthem?

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

It was shocking to hear what was discussed and how proudly they spoke about the future of weapons tech and their contributions to the future of war. Just gross!

This is the reality of the climate crisis… How sad that climate change is a reason for many women hesitating to have children. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

I’m shocked to read this. This affordable housing agreement has created second class citizens who can’t enter the building via the main entrance. Shame on the developers and NSW Government for allowing this to happen. #AusPol #AffordableHousing

No hurry. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Joyless. My @smh @theage cartoon.

I’m supervising a PhD student researching the health impacts from heat islands and can confidently say the research is pretty robust that heat deaths are a thing! They will/are increasing with climate change. We need to be concerned about this.

Another great program covering critical topics in planetary heath and climate change. #HEAL2025 #ClimateActionNow

Amazing treatment. A great example of why health and medical research is needed.

It’s time for action on climate misinformation www.croakey.org/climate-misi... #AusPol #PublicHealth

In case you missed it. We have a new Disability Wellbeing Index. “The Index covers ten domains that together capture the breadth of wellbeing for people with disability: relationships, daily life, meaningful life, housing, health, learning, respect and dignity, safety, finances, and work.”

Excellent critique of the National (Climate)Adaptation Plan. “While the NCRA reads like a well-informed, science-backed document, the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) reads like a wet-blanket.” Couldn’t agree more!! #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction
