Serious but stable.
Who'd have thought the sense of relief those three words being. Wonderful news.

It's a strange thing to feel your heart breaking and your heart being filled at exactly the same time, but thats what happened tonight at Wodonga's community gathering for Helen Haines. So much love. So much respect. So much kindness. I'm proud of our community.
.@AlboMP, @AngusTaylorMP, if you want to "turn down the temperature", here's some ways *you* can start.
1. Abolish Question Time. It is a disgusting display of intolerance and abuse. Replace it with a format that actually enables respectful (useful to the country) debate #auspol

2. Pass the truth-in-political-advertising legislation. Why do parties need to lie? To mislead? To inflame? To abuse and denigrate on the biggest platforms in the country? There is NO positive outcome from this activity, indeed it just enables others to also ignore the truth.

3. Enforce the Behaviour Code for Australian Parliamentarians aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Bus…: Parliamentarians, as employers and leaders in the community, have a leading role to play in fostering a healthy, safe, respectful and inclusive environment where all people feel safe and valued

Imagine attacking someone who has dedicated their entire life to helping others, first in health and then in politics. People like Helen Haines are, without doubt, the best of us.
Helen Haines. An incredible individual. Genuine. Caring. I'm so proud she is my representative, I'm proud to have campaigned for her every election, and I'm absolutely stunned this attack has happened. We are better than this, Australia.

My definition of a broken country?
Children shooting children at school, while men publicly beat women at a MAGA rally.

“If you don’t want to watch the execution, then don’t watch.”
Ok… let’s go with that.
Also, if you don’t support same-sex marriage, don’t have one.
If you don’t support drag shows, don’t go.
If you don’t support abortion access, don’t have one.
We can do this all day.
There's a lot to be concerned about here but this takes the cake for me:
"But my attitude is, we're winning against the world by a lot, and I want to keep winning."
Why does the strongest country in the world need to beat the rest of the world? Leadership should lift others.

She’s Jane Doe, I’m Jane Doe, every woman you come into contact with is Jane Doe.
It doesn’t matter who you try to expose or dox. It affects us all and it always has.
My name is Jane Doe and I’ve been hurt in countless ways by men.
She’s Jane Doe, I’m Jane Doe.

Abortion bans are killing women.
ALT Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It’s Worse in States With Abortion Bans.
Too soon, Target, far too soon. It is August. I cannot handle Christmas talk for 4 months. Ill see you again in late November.
