I keep typing and deleting tweets, typing and deleting letters. There is honestly nothing else left to say that has not been said before. No statistic or argument or video to change your minds, to put an end to this devastation and horror.
Your Palestinian friends are not OK.

Today @Senator_Patrick is arguing his AAT case against the Govt's attempt to use 'national cabinet' as an FOI exemption & hide information from the public about the Covid response. This case is important & goes to the heart of our democratic #RightToKnow. abc.net.au/radionational/pro…

1500 Palestinians face expulsion in #Jerusalem. 200 protesters have been injured. 9 children have been killed. Sanctions on South Africa helped free its black people - it’s time for sanctions on Israel to free Palestinians. Join the call. #SheikhJarrah secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en…

When I spoke to him on my pod last week, @Birmo said the budget wasn't entirely bereft of savings measures. We went looking, and here's the biggest one. Migrants forced to wait four years for benefits theguardian.com/australia-ne… @Paul_Karp #auspol

The NT Attorney General is correctly identifying the root causes of youth crime - disability, domestic violence, lack of housing, trauma - so why pass legislation that doesn't address these things but instead pushes children into prison?! #ntpol

Despite extra funding for domestic violence, the welfare sector is facing cuts, with $19.5 less for The Department of Social Services. Services Australia will also lose $286 million and 800 staff members. Funding for affordable housing will also be cut by $12.2 million.

The NDIS Quality and Safeguard Commission has its funding and staffing levels slashed by $8 million 8 staffers, despite the watchdog being unable to respond, and often dismissing, tens of thousands of allegations of abuse, neglect and illegal practises last year

The Office for Women which is supposed to be consulted on how policies will impact women had its funding slashed by $7.1 million. This is pretty crazy given how much emphasis Morrison put on the new roles for women during the cabinet reshuffle. #Budget21

Four deaths in a little over two weeks. These aren't just numbers to us: these are our Elders, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and children.

#Auspol Clarification: NSW police didn’t “end” their investigation. The investigation never began. Complainant never made statement. When I inquired, they were very interested to know if I knew of other complainants against #CabinetMinister. My answer: “Not in your jurisdiction”.

The head of the Defence Force has told cadets not to make themselves prey to sexual predators by being out late at night, alone, drunk and ‘attractive’. Yes, I can’t believe it either. @canberratimes – at Melbourne, Victoria
