It’s hard to think of a bigger backdown from the Andrews government since it won office in 2014 than this decision to axe its own planned new property tax. #springst
I endorsed the MEAA Freelance Charter of Rights, because freelance media workers deserve fair pay, superannuation and support from publishers and those that commission them. Have a read and endorse the charter too.
Freelance journalists, photographers, writers, editors, producers, cartoonists and illustrators are standing together to set a floor for pay and conditions to protect quality journalism.
Add your name to the Charter:

"...an atlas of human suffering and damning indictment of failed climate leadership." 😢
I've seen many reports, but nothing like the new @IPCC_CH climate report, an atlas of human suffering & damning indictment of failed climate leadership.
I know people everywhere are anxious & angry. I am, too.
It's time to turn rage into #ClimateAction. ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/

"Safe spaces don’t exist on their own, they need to be nurtured and fundamentally responsive to a community’s needs. It requires the encouragement to challenge our own views, and the unequivocal assurance that we belong." - @issyhay (they/them)

We've had an uptick in usage in Eastern Europe & rumors are circulating that Signal is hacked & compromised. This is false. Signal is not hacked. We believe these rumors are part of a coordinated misinformation campaign meant to encourage people to use less secure alternatives.

Our hearts are with Ukraine. Over the last week, @darekmazzone has celebrated the music of Ukraine in honor of their resilience. Listen to last week's @kexpwopop (bit.ly/3K27gWp) and Darek's takeover on Sunday Soul (bit.ly/3HzWgOl).

This family have waited over 5 years for answers and justice. They’ve now waited more than 2 months. Let’s all remind @VickieChapmanMP to keep the SA governments promise.
There's less than 24 hrs to get Fella's Bill over the line. The govt have delayed this already by 2 months. Give SA Attorney-General @VickieChapmanMP a call and follow this link to let her know we can't wait any longer to #BanSpitHoods changeorgau.good.do/banspith…

A man who looks like Steve Martin, in a garden, tending to this dachshund is exactly what I need this morning. Apparently, this is from a series called, "Dads with dogs they didn't want."❤️
