Excellent coverage abc730 This is a scandal that too few Australians still know about. The whole sorry tale - from the bugging of one of the poorest countries in the world to the harassment of #WitnessK and Collaery and the cover up - send chills down my spine

So pleased to hear this. One of worst scandals in Aust’n history - bugging of a ā€˜friend’ (& one of poorest nations in the world) to benefit political affiliates. Then systematic, relentless harassment of truth-tellers - amidst unprecedented secrecy #shame Australia @cporterwa

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.

A devastating tale of football racism and cruelty towards Robert Muir, a man who deserved far, far better. Thanks to @rustyjacko for making this story public. It seems it is already leading to some positive changes

Huge thanks to The Royal Melbourne Hospital for your gift today. On #SuicidePreventionDay it helped to remind me of the joy that comes from connection, sharing and playfulness. facebook.com/RoyalMelbourne…
