@Juanita_Phillip One of the ABC’s finest. Juanita has been a fantastic asset to the ABC. Maybe she represents a slowly disappearing era as the ABC goes digital. Wishing you well, Juanita, and congratulations on a splendid career.

Is it just me or do others feel @PeterDutton_MP is singing increasingly from the Trump song sheet?

Former Treasury secretary turned RBA governor Bernie Fraser says it would be “nonsense” to exclude former senior public servants from the bank’s top job.

Totally agree. It's time for a wholescale change of Australian names. Let's celebrate meaningful First Nations place names. https://t.co/yDBxWCHOWI

There’s Murdering Creek, Butcher’s Creek – so prolific are inappropriate placenames, many non-Indigenous Australians seem inured to their violent histories

Reading this makes me feel sick. What hope have at-risk young people got when they are constantly hounded even when efforts are being made to transform their lives ? https://t.co/n9HgWUmvGb

I’m saddened and frankly embarrassed that my home state, the state of Dunstan’s progressive social democracy, is legislating draconian anti-protest laws. The nation’s toughest. And, it’s being done by a Labor gov. SA used to lead on social reform. This is an overreaction. @alpsa

On Monday I'll present Q+A, then walk away. Racism is violence and I have had enough The heavy price paid for raising racism & being one of the very few Aboriginal ppl in the media. So sad it has come to this. Thank you Stan for your massive contribution

Blackfullas endure workplace racial violence on the daily. Colleagues turn a blind eye & say 'we didn't know' or 'there was nothing they could do' Stan Grant quits the ABC’s Q+A, saying racist abuse ‘poisons the air I breathe’
smh.com.au
The Indigenous journalist has announced he will step away from the ABC’s current affairs panel show over the “racial filth” to which he has been subjected.

Stan Grant is an admired colleague. The abuse directed at him is disgusting. There are no words adequate to the horror we feel at this. Stan is brilliant and cherished.

I’m appalled and saddened that Stan Grant, a brilliant broadcaster and thinker, has been forced from the ever-crucial contest of ideas. If this country can’t have a civil debate about recognition, racism and the legacy of colonialism then we are lost. I hope he returns soon.

For the 3rd time in 12 months one of my kids has caught COVID at school - their classrooms are poorly ventilated, windows bolted shut in the 2nd story classrooms, no air purifiers, no-one wears masks. Why are we so worried about vaping but so complacent about COVID?

Just awful that a journalist of Stan Grant's talent and integrity is driven out of an important role by thin-skinned keyboard warriors https://t.co/sIC7rQ7H6s

How about airlines using decent sized seats? I'm an average sized person and the last Virgin flight I went on had very narrow and squished seating - ridiculous. https://t.co/AH7EcmUwLs

Advocates say rules for ‘guests of size’ are inconsistent across Australian aviation, generating anxiety and unfair costs for those affected

In this video I explained how “The Handmaid's Tale” fiction is our reality in Iran. I was angry that our oppressive regime was elected for UN’s women’s rights body. I wish #MahsaAmini was alive to see that finally the world is hearing Iranian women. https://t.co/xyHQXm9LNi

This takes me back to my Catholic upbringing when I'd turn myself inside out to get changed in the pool changerooms without anyone seeing a glimpse of flesh! You have to take your clothes off to change - how ridiculous https://t.co/pTucwqBR92

Now that the coalition doesn’t govern anywhere on the mainland time to accept that people care about climate change and they will never flirt with right wing religious zealots and their awful discriminatory prejudices.
