The world awaits the fate of a tennis player, and I just want a little 9 year old girl found. Increasing dread.

Relief. Huge relief. It had gone on too long, and been too cruel. I just hope the world leaves Julian in peace now #freeassange #assangeisfree

Thought immediately of my unvaccinated 10 year old when Hazzard so casually declared this

Brad Hazzard & I entered NSW Parliament on the same day 30 years ago, served there together for 10 years and always found him to be a decent man ..now as HealthMin he says everyone will get Covid. With family members who are vulnerable I think it’s time to give someone else a go.

Watching @AustralianStory tonight with my kids-they need to see it. So grateful for all the lessons Grace Tame has taught us as Australian of the Year; about speaking out, courage, strength, resiliance, speaking truth to power, calling out injustice & grace under immense pressure

What a beautiful person Zomi Frankcom was. Her death is heartbreaking, appalling, horrifying. Let her name live on as an instructive example of selflessness, compassion, courage and joy

I picked up this sign years ago in a junk shop, have no idea who the organisation behind it is (does anyone?) but it feels so appropriate for ⁦ @march4justiceau ⁩. The shoe+flared jeans look kinda 70s. Bring on Monday. The weather gods are shining upon Canberra @SummersAnne

Hesitate to post this…feel with Twitter I’m too used to an older era; older, humbler ways. So please forgive me, but this review from the Canberra Times, oh! "If ever a book deserved to become a classic, The Ripping Tree does." Gosh. Wilting with relief. Someone actually got it

I just wish #insiders was addressing some of the visceral rage felt by women around Australia over the govt, utter revulsion. White men all being polite and measured about allegations of violent rape & you can see how the boys club protects. Albo is so wet it’s breaking my heart

My freshly adult sons are spontaneously sending me pics of Autumn wonder from new homes in Melbourne and Canberra & I’m thinking that’s it, job done, I’ve taught them throughout life to seek beauty and they’ve absorbed that lesson & are carrying it through life. The gratitude

I just had an entire packet of Chocolate Montes to celebrate finishing my new novel. Apologies to the disgusted purists among us + the kids who have no idea about the secret hiding spots. I have thwarted them all and am shameless

Just watched the wickedly funny, delightfully instructive #TurningRed with my 10 yr old boy, who loved it so much (without getting its brilliant central premise, but no matter.) “Mummy, your red panda would be as big as London!” Oh yeah

Loved sharing the stage today with this glorious writer with the very big heart, talking the possibility of kindness in journalism+whether we can dare be advocates/crusaders in our writing. Thnx #QueenscliffWritersFest & of course the legendary ⁦ @SquigglyRick ⁩ for the joy

We have decided the march in the nation’s capital, ringing parliament house - the building upon which all this fury is focussed - is the one to attend. Have car, will travel @March4Justiceau

Having the same debate here! Whether to send her to school, or take her out for a short time to go to a local march, or a (big) full day for a city march ...?
