TFW you are the one who organises the loan, executes the loan, is the larger shareholder in the loan, and when the loan documents come through are the person listed as secondary stakeholder on the loan after your male partner.
The patriarchy is real and very fucking boring.
For anyone who saw my discussion on
@BreakfastNews
, think about the artists who literally donated their income to bushfire relief, weeks before having their income vanish for what is now 15 months and counting.
Artists always step up. They need our support.
Shout outs to Victorians who have driven the coronavirus numbers down by your sacrifice. The outliers are few, millions of us are doing the right thing and the data shows us that. Celebrate THAT, and yourselves, today. We’re DOING it. Well done. ❤️
Absolutely big f*** off hugs to everyone in Melbourne today.
We've just hit a record: the world's longest lockdown, reaching 235 days.
We're rinsed, we're spent, we miss life as we knew it, but we're here.
And the light is there. The light is there.
Much love. x
Feeling like all the presenters who you grew up with are leaving triple j? I get it.
triple j is a youth station. Our very existence is about renewal. Constantly aiming to entertain and inform 18-24 year old Australians.
Older than that?
@DoubleJRadio
is tailor made for you.
I’ve adjusted to seeing pics of interstate friends out at cafes, with family & friends, and baulking cos it seems wrong.
No masks and you’re standing next to each other? How?
I miss it. I miss my fam.
I’ve hit the lockdown blues. Fellow Melbournians, I know you feel it too.
Love this capture of
@charliepick
and I before the NYE broadcast last night.
It was a blast to co-host with Charlie again. It always feel easy, and we have a ball.
Stoked to see so many people watched from home; our biggest ratings yet with 3.4 million TV + 700k live streams!
I'm on week 7 of couch to 5k (something I started doing during the last/final Melbourne lockdown to grab hold of the days somehow) and I hit an 18 min jog this morning and it felt easier to keep going than stop and for someone who has always struggled with jogging, I'm stoked. :)
My Twitter hasn't stopped since my post yesterday about the patriarchy in applying for a loan.
Your stories. Wow. Thank you for sharing.
And yes, I am feeding back to the bank, my broker, and not signing the contract until they change the detail.
Do the same. All of you.
More than 100 days straight, of more than hour long press conferences.

tonight.
Bullshit detector high, fact checking strong, directing traffic like a pro. Being the boss journo we’re lucky to have at the ABC.
I felt low today, and spoke to friends about it and it helped take some of the weight off.
Always speak to your mates.
Thank you mates for being there. Listening, walking, dancing, taking me out of the rut. Gawd it all helps. Very grateful.
I met someone in Wagga this weekend who thanked me for years of kindness on the radio.
It’s not a compliment I’ve ever heard but it made my day.
Here’s to more kindness in every moment. ❤️
Just spent 7 hours trying to find fancy evening wear that worked on my curvy bod and fuck me, you designers don’t make it easy.
There’s a market for normies who want / need to sparkle for an event.
In the words of Julia Roberts (but a size 12) I GOT MONEY TO SPEND HERE. 🤯
Exciting news…
Take 5 will return for a third season in 2024. 🩷🕺🏻🥁😭
I’m so stoked to bring even more of these beautiful conversations to
@ABCTV
+ iview.
Thank you for all of your support & love for this show. It’s a dream come true to bring it you.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Father Bob. He connected with and helped countless people. Was always the funniest person in the room. And cared deeply for all. What a loss, and what a legacy. My thoughts with those close to him.
Rest in peace, Bob. x
Big congrats to my friend
@boneybrooke
who is not only one of the most talented, driven, intelligent and witty people I know, but is once again smashing glass ceilings to pieces. Deadly. x
A little reminder that Twitter is not a full reflection of real life, a small percentage of Australians use it, and tone cannot be read easily on this platform.
When anxieties are high, it can be a real bin fire. Be well, and I truly hope for the best for all of us. ❤️🙌🏻🌈
Bryan Singer started work on Bohemian Rhapsody, but didn't finish it.
But the director who finished it, won't get a credit.
So shout outs to Dexter Fletcher. Who got the job done. Without credit.
Happy birthday to this absolute angel human, wild wit, sharp intellect, creative genius, and filthy friend.
@MyfWarhurst
you are the best. Cheers to you. 🥂❤️
Seeing artists playing flood fundraisers once again reminds me that the music community always steps up in times of need. And that we should always support them in their time of need. The support goes both ways. ❤️

flight from Christchurch to Sydney yesterday. The peaks above the clouds. ✈️ I never, ever lose the wonder of flying. What an incredible view. 🙌🏻
Dude interviewers interviewing dude musicians and coming across as bored in an effort to sound cool / impressive / laidback / one of the guys, is a most punishing listen. :\
Here’s a tip: tweeting anything about coronavirus & city based outbreaks may likely come back to bite you. It’s a virus. It’s around for a while. We’re in a pandemic. Who knows what will happen over the next year or more until we get a vaccine (if we even do)? Be smart, and kind.
Rest in power, Tina Turner.
A force that soundtracked my childhood, and a life story I learned about as an adult. She was not just a survivor, she was a Queen. One of the most powerful women in music, with a voice like no other.
What an icon. What a legacy. Vale.
Felt pretty sad today. I’m ok. Sometimes you just experience the dips, eh?
Anyway, it’s ok to be sad. And it’s really good to meet a friend for a walk in the sun, even if you reckon you wanna be alone. ☀️💙

rip the lid off Rod Laver Arena for their final tour.
32 years ago my parents took the whole fam to the same venue to see them. I was 12. It changed my life.
Tonight, the kids return the favour.

BIG LOVE to Double J fam, new and old. We felt it this year, all of it. And we felt you being there with us. Thank you. x
Just heard a farmer on
@RNBreakfast
talking about losing backpackers for fruit picking and equating their life style to now “waiting tables and then going out at night, sitting around drinking lattes”.
This latte culture war has to stop lol. Also, who drinks a latte at night?
This morning I got up, didn't switch on the news, went for a one hour walk around my neighbourhood (social distancing the whole way) and it honestly changed the way I felt for the rest of the day.
News is gonna be there, and always important. But take some time out for you, too.
If you found yourself not recognising many songs in the

We’re counting down the Hottest 100 of 20 years ago - yes the year 2000 - from midday AEDT. 🖤
Thanks for all your beautiful tweets.
So happy you’re loving Take 5. We put a lot of love and heart and work into this show. Yeah I had a cry. But mostly - Norman is absolutely LOVING Keith’s ep.

New Years Eve broadcast was the most watched program of 2018 on the ABC.
Proud as punch of our big concert, “The Night Is Yours” that led into the fireworks. Thanks to everyone who watched (and all those who gave lovely feedback) x
@Tonaaayy_
Blatant racism, ignorance, and cruelty. I’m sorry you had to deal with this. Power to you for calling it out. Always standing beside you. Love you Tony. x
The strong female pop artists of the world using their own experiences to bring awareness to:
- unjust conservatorships
- record label contracts owning your own masters
- disrespectfully unprepared journalists
✊🏼
Hopefully soon we can just hear from them about their music.
Thanks to everyone who watched
@ABCTV
last night! A huge thank you to the artists who brought so much joy at the end of a very tough year, and to the incredible people behind the scenes who pulled this off. Our big NYE concert is now on iView. Happy New Year! 🥳
10 years since I met this fella on a blind date and found the best teammate ever. Happy anniversary

! Let’s dress up, watch movies, eat cheese and drink champagne. 🥂
I had my first panic attack this weekend. As so many of you know, it's not pleasant. Here are some really practical tips for handling anxiety during these times. Be kind to yourself. xx
Norman update. I was sending a little lockdown hello video to his uncle, and he spoke for the first time. BIG MOMENT.
Related: can you imagine how insufferable I would be if I had a human child? 😂
Also related: he is my son.
Radio ratings have come through, and it looks like HEAPS of Sydney fam are discovering

So glad you found us. Welcome. x
Big shout outs to the artiste

Happy first day of the season. With it, hope and sun and blooms and warmth. 🌺🌼🌿
Very sad to hear that Archie Roach has died.
His songs changed the conversation in Australia.
I was honoured to meet him, and he told me that through “sharing your own story, hopefully other people will open up and share their story as well.”
Rest In Peace, Uncle Archie. 💔
Can’t stop watching videos of

win, people watching, the elation, the pride, the excitement, and crying.
Can’t stop won’t stop. What a moment for Australian sport.
"ABC TV’s NYE TV broadcast coverage reached 3.4 million viewers last night. In addition, a total of 335,000 live streams were recorded via iview across the night."
Thanks for watching, fam! Big numbers in Sydney, particularly - shout outs to you legends you stayed in. x
Feeling very emotional about the death of Hawke. It’s not only the loss of a great leader, but a stark reminder of how far political discourse has strayed.
People in other cities hugging, in close quarters indoors, sharing space as though the pandemic has passed:
Learn from what we’re going through in Melbourne. It’s highly contagious. The invisible spread will all of a sudden be apparent AFTER it’s spread multiple times. Be safe.
What a bloody legend.
Using her huge platform to give profile to the many others who don't have her voice. She's finally able to use it, and is using it to help others. QUEEN.
A huge congrats to my friend and colleague Jeremy Fernandez, taking over as anchor of ABC NSW 7pm news. Jez can literally do anything. He brings curiosity, enthusiasm, joy, and fierce intelligence to all he does. We’re so lucky to have him. Congrats Jez! 💙
I cried reading this.
When all the things you’ve strived to do are seen, it’s the best feeling ever. Very proud of this concept, this show, and the team that has made it.
Thanks for the thoughtful and brilliant review, The Music.
Watched Bluey tonight and Norman was ENTHRALLED. Crawled off us to sit in front of the TV. Understandable.
Also, I have no children. Im at the watching Bluey stage of endless Melbourne lockdown.
You understand.
Some news from me...
I haven't had a decent break since uni days. What will I do with myself?
Answer: eat a shitload of taco's on a Mexican beach.
Last show for 2019 this Friday.
Yes, DESKO will be LARGE. xx
This will be my last week on air at

@DoubleJRadio
, and was hustling a while before that too. So I'm gonna make use of the incredible invention of Long Service Leave, and take it.
Back with you in 2020.
This fella made 2021 a million times better than it would have been without him. Very grateful for him, and the joy all pets bring. What legends. Norman. ❤️
