As a Canberran, it's been devestating to watch from sidelines the demise of our prestigious institution. Much worse to also hear about how badly folk have been treated along the way.

@drdemography.com - Incredible courage today.

Solidarity and strength to Dr Liz and ANU students and staff. 💪✊️

Make sure you and your kids are immunised. Anyone who was alive in 1950s & 60s can testify what a terrible disease it is. Being crippled, or in an iron lung or even death. It was a scourge and we were very lucky to get vaccines.

☺️ A rose for everyone. That one from my garden.

Australia's decision to recognise Palestine is not just symbolic It is easy to reduce an assessment of the recognition of Palestine to claims that it is nothing more than symbolic, or that it will have little practical impact on the ground.

Excellent analysis from #LauraTingle.

Of course they pivot.
We disagree on how his dish was judged. Nothing else here, really.

Complete per his menu.

Sure. Not sure where I heard it.

No calories if you cooked it.

Mable, my Japanese Maple tree, soon to emerge from winter hibernation.

WTF is with the NSW Greens voting down a censure motion on disgraced MP Mark Latham and seeing it fail? Fks sake.

Yep. Wonder how many elections it will take for Labor/Libs to get message from electorate they aren't buying what they are selling & both need to adapt.

How arrogant for Labor to say any crossbench (validly elected) member would have to give up their policies & follow Labor policies.

Thanks. Yes. That's what it looks like from a distance.
I wasn't sure whether I was missing some of the finer, nuanced local detail and context that may offer some hope.

Wide frame colour photo of a landscape. Out of sight to the left, the sun is setting, casting a warm, gentle glow across the image. On the horizon is a low mountain range. Central to the image is a small waterhole to the left and 2 small trees to the right.

Managed to get out for a lovely sunset walk this afternoon. Food for the soul - peaceful, calm, rejuvenating. 📷

Highly recommend the movie 'Sharper' on AppleTV.

A very clever 'neo-noir NewYorkCity thriller' with a great performance by Julianne Moore & cast.

Interesting format & so many twists n turns.
Slow burn to start but...great fun as story develops.
