    The barbecue meat was gone in a flash, but there were still delicious pastries made by Melbourne’s Muslim community. The MFB with Human Appeal Aust and the Aust Islamic Council are taking 5 truckloads of food, water and supplies to Gipps communities. #vicfires

    Turns out 55 New Zealanders are on a Fed list of those who came to Vict, not 17 Premier Andrews says. “I don’t control the borders, I don’t control Sydney Airport.” The Fed govt is pointing the blame at Victoria for breach of the NZ bubble, which Vic is not actually a part of.

    This is my last week at the ABC. I am 1 of the 200 staff being cut in the latest round. It’s my choice but it ends 30+ yrs in & out of an organisation I love. What’s next is a TBC. I’ll take a rest, do some study & continue board work with @DartAsiaPacific @withMEAA @Walkleys

    Important to note that the people who carry out hate and uphold evil ideologies start out being like all of us. Thanks @AuschwitzMuseum for the reminder.

    This is one of the harshest warnings for us today. Perpetrators were ordinary people. Fathers and mothers. Husbands and wives. SS chief Heinrich Himmler studied agronomy. They all accepted an ideology that rationalized and promoted hatred & evil. It became their everyday live.

    Some nuance and context is needed here. A reminder that journalism is not stenography. Mindlessly quoting the President when there is no evidence of fraud and no justification for a SCOTUS challenge is lazy, shallow and dangerous. “Quote” marks don’t let you off the hook @abcnews

    Wow forcing people to stay together in order to “fix broken marriages”.... let’s hope this idea from the Australian Family Association never makes it beyond “brainfart” status. Governments and their paid social providers have no place in marital matters.

    The ruling just now by Justice Anthony Bresanko in the Ben Roberts-Smith defamation case is a big and important win for journalism and press freedom in Australia. It upholds the media’s important role in undertaking public interest investigations & in the public’s right to know.

    We keep saying “this is not who we are” but clearly it IS who some of us are. We need to figure out how that happened, and what we can do to turn it around. Otherwise we will see our own Capitol Hill moment.

    We ask @AlboMP @SenatorWong and their colleauges to end this now by asking Australia’s key allies to #freeAssange If this ruling is allowed to stand it puts every journalist at risk for holding governments to account. #journalismisnotacrime

    John Hewson says the claim “we are all in this together, is not the case”. Says politicians have not cut their own salaries and themselves have 15% super contribution rates. “What does it take to embarrass our politicians to share the burden.. to be leaders..”
