It's been a while. Last month I retired from State Parliament as a @greensSA MP and handed the baton over to the wonderful @SimmsRobert Rob was sworn in last week and is already making a mark. He's well worth following for lowdown on #saparli I'll still tweet now and then too.

If you are near a screen today at 4pm Adelaide time, you can tune in to my "valedictory" speech, along with my colleague @TammyMLC. Tomorrow, MPs from other parties will make their contributions. The link today is: #saparli @greensSA @saygreens.

The final vote on the Bill was 18:2 in favour of reinstating QCs. The record will show how Labor, Liberal and SA-Best Members voted. "It exposes that Australian tendency to desperate insecurity, which can only be cured by blessings and baubles from the motherland." R. Ackland.

The Monarchists are having a field day in #saparli. Vote was 17:2 in favour of progressing a Bill to re-instate QCs to the legal profession in SA. Are the @greensSA the only party prepared to come out from under Queen Victoria's skirts? @TammyMLC.

Now that Australia’s chief law officers have squibbed the chance to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility from 10 to 14, it’s time for SA to step up and show leadership. How about it @VickieChapmanMP? We can debate my Bill in #saparli later this year.

Hi @cporterwa @MarkSpeakman @JillHennessyMP @VickieChapmanMP @NatashaFyles @YvetteDAth. At the Council of A-G meeting you'll have the opportunity to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility to at least 14 to stop locking up kids as young as 10 as per my Bill in #saparli.

No unnecessary travel - unless it’s to kill wildlife! Minister Speirs should call an end to the killing now! BTW, check out the “ducks” on the Govt web page. #saparli

Stay home! Avoid unnecessary travel! Unless of course, you need to go out to kill ducks - that is still allowed. So, we can now add “irresponsible” to the normal descriptors of “deplorable and obscene”. The duck killing season opens tomorrow morning. #saparli #coronavirusau.

Just about every meeting and event in my calendar this week has been cancelled. The only meeting still going ahead is the Parliamentary "End of Life Choices Committee" 😳 #saparli.

It's official: the last five years were the warmest ever recorded via @ConversationEDU.

A final message: “We cannot afford the luxury of feeling we are powerless” in responding to #ClimateChange. Even big companies are made out of individuals and individuals make decisions! @CFigueres #TheFutureWeChoose.

A good reminder. It takes many, but not everyone.

There is a lot of energy amongst young people that we must tap into in addressing #ClimateChange. Blame is unhelpful as is anger - we need to rise above these emotions. @CFigueres #TheFutureWeChoose
