‘All of Australia loves @pbol800 ’ Yes, we do. But his family didn’t just ‘flee war’ @7olympics They were ‘asylum seekers’ then refugees. From Sudan 👉Egypt. By boat. Peter’s entire life is about courage. One day, our politicians might show some of their own. #Tokyo2020

“There are refugees in that same hotel who have been detained for more than nine years, and taxpayers fork out millions of dollars to keep them in limbo. How is that acceptable?” It’s not, nor can it ever be. Let them go.

Sam Kerr’s case has created immensely important conversations and exposed gaps in Australia’s knowledge, including mine. I am not at all surprised to have got this wrong, apologise to Sam for reaching the wrong conclusion and am very pleased to be able to improve my advocacy.

Catching up on the disgusting news from last night. My apologies to Indigenous Australia. I condemn the horrific display of racist hate & stand with our Jewish & other affected communities. All involved need to be held accountable including the club.

There’s no going back, thankfully. A line has been crossed. By refusing to be cowed by the system, you have all shown the next generation the power they possess. It’s made my year, truly. 2021, Year of Australian Women claiming their power. It only gets better from here 💜👏

Taking off. My love and deepest thanks to everyone, kisses to my wife and 3 kids who I miss and feel their absence even more keenly knowing that Hakeem cannot see his wife. See you all in Oz tomorrow & thanks so much for all you’ve done. You’re amazing, all of you ✊ #SaveHakeem

Confronting the mammoth challenge of misinformation is one of the residual issues of the recent referendum. Democracy requires an informed citizenry. A misinformed populace, however, digesting misinformation, has dangerous consequences.

$10,000 per day, per person, for 115 people left on Nauru One and a half billion wasted NZ offered to resettle them 7 years ago Both the ongoing & residual pain caused to thousands, and the expense, are an obscenity It should all be over #GameOver

Instead of spending another $420 million taxpayer dollars on Nauru, everyone should be evacuated immediately & given medical treatment. And Nauru should be closed as a processing centre. A cry for help from Nauru. His name is Tamim, he’s lost 10 years, and he asked to be heard.

Well done to the 79 players standing in solidarity. Rubiales must go ⁦ @rfef ⁩ ‘The joint statement said the World Cup champions would not return to play for the national team as long as the leadership remained in place.’ #FIFAWWC

My pleasure to meet some of our beautiful, newly arrived Afghan families in Syd today. How we all got here is immaterial, we’re all equal, have a right to safety, freedom from persecution, to dream. Let’s resettle more. 20,000, to be exact. #ActionForAfghanistan Welcome all.

You are aware @KensingtonRoyal that @TheMatildas were also playing for 3rd, right? And that we’re one of the ‘realms’ asked to ‘cry out our allegiance’ to your old man, his heirs & successors ie you? 🤦‍♂️ Not much allegiance in return, clearly. #FIFAWWC @ausrepublic

Hey @DjokerNole I disagree with your view on vaccines, mate & no apologies for Aust having a vaccine mandate to play, but you’re experiencing how we treat asylum seekers & refugees You’ve a chance to do something positive, to shine a light on how we treat innocent people (1/4)

A thought from all of us to Hakeem’s wife this morning. Heard from her last night, no words do justice to the despair. Two souls are tortured and we’re their only hope. Stay strong for her, and him. Keep the faith. Believe in goodness. We’ll prevail #SaveHakeem

Any regime that tortures & murders its own citizens has no legitimacy. A message of support for today’s #WomenLifeFreedom rally in Hyde Park, Sydney. Women's rights are human rights. Thinking of Mohsen Shekari and others facing death for peaceful protest 💜 #MahsaAmini
