Fascinating. But I'm wondering where these women were on 15 March 2021? @march4justiceau the biggest rally for women ever seen in Aust? With 110k around the nation & 15,000 outside Parliament House. Where was this concern about women being bullied & harassed then? #EnoughlsEnough

Oh for goodness sake! Yet another woman saying ‘it’s not my time’ to step up to political leadership @ClareONeilMP No! It is simply not good enough anymore to say there are plenty of women here & ain’t that great. A vocab of spin doesn’t fix this gender smash @InsidersABC #auspol

And you wonder why the women of Australia are full of rage?😠😠😠😠😠Politics, politicians, parliament, processes, faux 'governance' & nonsense toothless Codes of Conduct -continually fail women. A conspiracy of complacency? Australia's shame. #BroadTalk

This is one of the most comprehensive & well explained backgrounders to the #VoiceToParliament I've seen. It answers all questions & clearly explains 'the details' some fear are missing. Importantly it outlines the extensive process of consultation already undertaken. Watch it!

For many Australians, the idea, purpose and details of the Voice are not yet clear. Political reporter @DanaMorse_ explains what we know about the proposal so far. #abc730

It took 2 decades of campaigning in Australia to get the tampon tax removed - but look at Scotland! Light years ahead of us with a new law to make all sanitary products FREE! Takes a Scot!! (but perhaps not a Scott?)

Silly semantics... twisted tongues? Is Minister @PaulFletcherMP really trying to now argue #ChristineHolgate was not sacked? “Let’s be clear — Ms Holgate resigned...” he says. Yet the PM yelled in Parliament that if she chose not to resign, she would have to GO! What choice??

The Australian version of this Ministerial lineup is oh so very different! Our version is a bunch of crusty old chaps. Same old, same old, repeating same old last century politics, same old game play, with an anxious grip on yesteryear. Oh, for new thinking & a broader world view

A bully? Prone to repeatedly humiliating women? PM's words & actions collide. Again. Today @ScottMorrisonMP says he had “no intention to upset or offend Holgate”. So what was his intent when yelling in parliament Holgagte "should GO!" ?? #EnoughisEnougth
