My son's madly in love with #Bluey and Bingo - so even though he didn't have a birthday party this year, we got him a #blueycake inspired by his favourite episode "The Creek". We even spent time recreating the creek. instagram.com/p/CDZANpYgx0f/… @OfficialBlueyTV

Here is former High Court Justice, the Hon. Michael Kirby, reading the book to my sons. #auslaw #biglaw #AuthorsOfTwitter #writerslife

I've learnt lots over this National #ReconciliationWeek (27 May - 3 June). And today is the 30th anniversary of the #Mabo decision that abolished the legal fiction of 'Terra Nullius'. Here is a photo essay of my week of learning: linkedin.com/pulse/brave-mak… #auslaw #nrw2022 #MaboDay
That morning feeling waking up knowing we have a wonderful, humane new prime minister. Congratulations @AlboMP ! #ausvotes22 #ausvotes #auspol
Congratulations to @EWatsonBrown - what an incredible result in Ryan! -- looking forward to seeing some real change on climate and early childhood education! 💚 #AusVotes22 #ausvotes #auspol @Greens
I also want to acknowledge the wonderful work by the @AusGreensParty in nominating free early childhood education & care as one of their 7 policy priorities @AdamBandt @EWatsonBrown @larissawaters @mcberkman - it's so important we support parents & children #auspol #ausvotes2022
Proud to join a wonderful group of parents advocating for better access to parental leave & affordable early childhood education. The kitchen table discussion with @AlboMP & @AmandaRishworth was organised by @the_parenthood - an org representing 70,000 parents #auspol #auslaw
The Opposition Leader @AlboMP & Shadow Minister @AmandaRishworth accepted our invitation to sit down with members from @the_parenthood to talk about the pressure exorbitant early childhood education & care puts on them & their families.
Really enjoyed sitting around the table with such a wonderfully diverse group of parents from @the_parenthood - sharing about the challenges we faced accessing #parentalleave, affordable childcare & asking for further economic & social reform. #auspol #auslaw #ausvotes2022
Our day with the indefatigable #MichaelKirby - who has always been so generous with his time. A ⚖️🪡 #auslaw #biglaw #humanrights #LGBTQ 1/
We kept our son at home the past few days as omicron swept through his school (we were a little paranoid since we were hosting an 83 year old). He spent the time making this welcome banner - love it instagram.com/p/CbwFktKvU8V/… #auslaw #auspol 2/
Had an amazing time talking with @mcookhistory & Dirk (Speculative #Architecture) on amphibious houses and the #BrisbaneFloods (read more here: instagram.com/p/Cbgqgx-PY_L/…) at last night's Asia Pacific Architecture Festival event at @UQArtMuseum @UQArchitecture_ @AusINSArchitect 1/
My partner wasn't convinced of my choice to wear yellow... but it was a "Make It Work" moment for me (and my kids loved it). And doesn't it pop against the @UQArtMuseum blue walls? Here I am talking about #RemKoolhaas & his floating pool #ootd #brisbanearchitecture @UQ_News

Seeing lots of pontoon and debris being washed down the river today. River is awfully close to our little playground. Fingers crossed. #Brisbane #brisbanefloods #flood @mcookhistory - what a time to be talking about the incursion of water onto our terrestrial environments!
This was breathtaking to read and really humanises the decision-makers in medicine. Thank you, @docranjana -- "My bile rises as I’m asked to move my dying cancer patient out of ICU to make room for an unvaccinated man with Covid" theguardian.com/commentisfre… -ping @HealthLawQUT
Happy #Halloween and happy 2nd birthday to my little Halloween toddler who turns 2! Check out the kickass #Gruffalo-themed birthday cake. #halloween2021 (and yes, we had a costume change). #halloweencostume
The PhD thesis is saved! Crisis averted. Thanks @Telstra for reconnecting us. It must be @NigelStobbs' amazing plea that did the trick. 🙏🙏🙏

Wow! My portrait of ex-High Court Justice #MichaelKirby was People's Choice for this year's MELT #LGBTIQ Portrait Prize @Bris_Powerhouse instagram.com/p/CQPfG_TtbN-/… -Michael will be up in #Brisbane in Sept to give a speech alongside the portrait to @QUTlaw students #pride #auslaw
ALT Two gay dads with their sons in front of the winning People's Choice portrait of ex-High Court Justice Michael Kirby at the Brisbane Powerhouse. The portrait recently exhibited at the MELT Portrait Prize in celebration of Queer Art and Culture. Also in the picture is barrister Laina Chan who once worked with Michael.
It's the big #auslaw milestone of National Reconciliation Week: #MaboDay. Celebrating the connection that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to 'Country' with this incredible art piece of #EddieMabo by Lydia Quayle. #Morethanaword #NRW2021

Thinking abt Michael Kirby's observation: "The Mabo decision of @HighCourtofAus would never have emerged from an unyielding automated decision-making procedure based on algorithms derived from 150 years of #auslaw & British court decisions." 1/ @qutlaw #auspol #MaboDay
A wonderful writer and brilliant artist - and certainly an author treasured by my kids.
Our hearts are heavy tonight with the loss of our beloved co-founder Eric Carle who has passed away. He was our friend, our inspiration, and a creative visionary for generations of artists and children.

Hi @TahliaRoy, that was a wonderfully sensitive piece you did on @abcnews covering the high suicide rates among #veterinarians. May I politely suggest a more diverse spread of Australian veterinarians to draw on if you next cover this. See: instagram.com/p/CDJpYsYgjQX/… @AustVetAssoc
