Love the way @NickBryantNY weaves historical threads to help people like me understand what is actually going on. This is yet another excellent piece. Check it out. https://t.co/K4ArVHaklA

“… Christians will reject hateful words about entire communities of Australians on the basis of their religion or culture.” Very thankful for this clear and plain statement from our Metropolitan Bishop @KanishkaRaffel

The PM is often heard saying "we have done more on problem gambling than any other government". It's not untrue, but it's a big stretch - they've implemented policy work started under the last govt, not the Murphy Report. Importantly, none of the policies they have implemented

Anthony Albanese states he’s taken more action on problem gambling than any government since Federation. How does this claim stack up?

It’s 431 days since the Independent Panel for Gambling Reform handed its report and recommendations to the NSW Government. And still no response. It’s 951 days since the Murphy Inquiry final report was tabled in Federal Parliament. Still no response. Not. Good. Enough.

Gambling harm is causing a public health catastrophe in Australia, all while governments do too little to address it. It leaves me mad as hell.

I think Australians are more worried about how gambling advertising is hurting our young people than how a ban could impact sporting codes and media companies. We need to put people first and implement the Murphy Report’s 3 year phased in ban on all gambling ads. A small levy

Documents released under FoI show Wells’ department worried about how gambling reforms would affect sporting codes and media companies

Back from LSL, and I’m back on here! Had a wonderful (rare) time with family over Christmas, then a month road tripping down to Tassie (epic coasts at Wombats on the overland track!) and back via Kossi! Long service leave is such a gift. Feeling ready for the next 10 years! 😀
Today is the last day at my desk before taking Long Service Leave over the summer. I'm looking forward to being present with the people I'm with, so I'm taking this account private, and disappearing for a while. See you back here on the flip-side... maybe. Maybe not. 😀🏖️🏏

Hey, para-church “ministries”. The month before Christmas is the absolute worst time for you to contact church pastors for a “chat”, “encouragement”, or “fundraising”. Stop doing it! If you call and don’t get an answer, there’s a very good reason. Ministry is happening! 🤦🏻♂️

“We are the first government to outlaw hate speech”. With all due respect, @AlboMP, people who turn up to Australian beaches intent on shooting people do not care much for these “laws”.

If you’re in Sutherland it’s un-Australian to not buy fruit from Ahmed’s fruit shop. Spread the word!
Ahmed is a real-life hero. Last night, his incredible bravery no doubt saved countless lives when he disarmed a terrorist at enormous personal risk. It was an honour to spend time with him just now and to pass on the thanks of people across NSW.

I just tried to book a blood donation through the Australian Red Cross, and the website had crashed. That’s the spirit, Australia! (note: It seems to be back up now) #Bondi

I have many close Jewish friends, and for a long time now they have rightly been frightened for their lives. It is time for this country to crack down on all political threats of violence, without exception. History shows that when threats are tolerated, they do not remain

Bondi Beach. Utterly wicked. Antisemitism is an insidious evil. I despair about what Australia has become. Come Lord Jesus.

Please join me in praying urgently for the injured and families of victims of the shooting at Bondi Beach. Pray for the safety of the Jewish community and residents of Bondi. Pray for the police and medical teams in their work. Lord have mercy.
