On this day in 1989 I grabbed the video cassette containing all the famous pictures of the Tiananmen massacre inc the tank man & walked down to the Beijing Hotel lobby. A cop came over to arrest me but a burst of fire outside distracted him & I slipped past. We got the pictures out via Hong Kong.

Transporting fresh food to remote communities must be a priority. It can take up to eight days for food to reach the most remote parts of our state. Our study with @arupausraliasia and Torres Cape Indigenous Council Alliance is live fal.cn/3u23i #Qld #foodsecurity

How do I know so much about how @elonmusk does things? I spent 3 years investigating Tesla at @BusinessInsider from 2018-2021. Here are some of sloppy, dangerous, callous, things I learned:
Unbelievable!!! Why can’t this money be redirected to support delivery of the recent Preventive Health Strategy or National Obesity Strategy.
Turns out we have an "Australian National Preventive Health Agency" which, despite being shut down by Former PM Tony Abbott in 2014, still has $12m in the bank & gets audited every year! 👻😂🤷🏼♂️
