Social contact is falling, and many are feeling lonely. An excellent piece by @ErinParke2 shows why rebuilding Australian community life should be a national priority https://t.co/ujqnTr7qTl

Australians have a reputation for being a sociable bunch, but we're spending more time alone than ever before. Experts say social media, living alone and a fashion for being busy is driving the trend.

When Elisabeth Armitage began an inquiry into the domestic violence killings of 4 women, she already knew the situation was dire. But what she has has unravelled over the past 4 weeks is evidence of a system in far worse shape than expected. @abcnews

A landmark series of inquests examining the domestic violence deaths of four Aboriginal women at the hands of their partners has reached the halfway point. Here's what we've learned.

New rules for Fashions on the Field in the Kimberley because some entrants not fashionable enough 😆 Also like the use of ‘anonymous judges’. And the undies race. There’s a lot going on.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but why does this happen every time I try to log a complaint with @Telstra about their crappy coverage in the Kimberley?

I’m trying to get someone to stop leaving loo rolls on floor without nagging. Sent this by text, maybe a bit cryptic?

People who don't put their phone number on work emails are missing out on a whole lot of thoughts and feelings I'd like to talk to them about.

Why are there more security guards than ever before in Australia? Inequality, poverty, crime spikes in country towns, risk liability, and a "politicisation of public fear". @abcnews

More private security guards are patrolling public places like schools, shopping strips and libraries. Some find the trend reassuring, while others say it's alarming.

"I think I've missed him more and more as the years have gone by." That's at the core of this experience - you can't be a missing person without being *missed*. Thanks Erin for covering this vital, heartbreaking story. May it bring Jimmy's family closer to resolution. @missedaus

It's been almost 50 years since Jimmy Taylor vanished from outside a shop in his home town. Now a new suspect and a $1 million reward have sparked hopes the mystery may be solved.

I've discovered many interesting things about my partner since going back to working from home. Today he played bass guitar with the amp cranked up... at midday. I wonder what tomorrow will bring. #wfh

Many reasons it's gotta be tough, complex and hurtful being an Indigenous person reporting in a mainstream newsroom. Thinking today about how we in regional bureaus could have done more to support colleagues... and how we can do better in future. #IStandWithStan #WeRejectRacism

The stonewalling of info about govt programs FUNDED by and run FOR tax-payers is increasing, and I'm cranky enough to use caps. Absurd that we are all paying for govt workers whose function is primarily to block information about basic stuff. Is it getting worse or just me?

Margaret Hawke will learn of her punishment today for the murder of her three children, just hours after seeking support, in a tragedy prompting calls for more mining revenue to be channelled back...
