American carnage: Mission accomplished. #PromisesKept
Yes, yes, yes - a win towards #justice for #asylumseekers! So many years of cruelty and pain and despair... Is the tide finally turning? #DuttonDefeated

Huge thanks to @TheRMH for your gift today. On #SuicidePreventionDay it helped to remind me of the joy that comes from connection, sharing and playfulness. facebook.com/RoyalMelbourneH…
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

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. – at Adelaide, South Australia

I was 20 when I had to flee Afghanistan and now I'm 27.
After 7 Years, still hoping to be free..
I haven’t had a punch in the arm by my brother, a hug by uncles, a kiss from my mum for 7 years.
We have GAINED the unbelievable burden of our family mourning for us

So pleased to hear this. One of worst scandals in Aust’n history - bugging of a ‘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

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
Bernard Collaery says his law practice has been destroyed by the secret #WitnessK trial. #abc730 @adharves #auspol abc.net.au/news/2020-06-16/t…
