26 years ago, a gunman entered Port Arthur in Australia, killing 35 people. The Australian govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of 0 comparable mass shootings (defined as 10 or more deaths) in Australia #Uvalde
Why do politicians keep talking about being in power? Why aren’t they talking about being in service? Don’t they understand? They are meant to serve the population not wield power over us? Confused.

Hey NSW - if your leaders won’t require you to, do it yourselves:
- stay home
- work from home
- mask always
- stay in 5k
- exercise one hour a day
- get tested and get vaccinated.
- don’t visit homes, and ALL of you do it.
All the very best of luck - we want you to win. 🤛
Why? Haven't we been through enough?

At a time when Australian women have been expressing unprecedented levels of disillusionment and loss of faith in our parliament and political system the Government responds by…making Barnaby Joyce our Deputy Prime Minister. Honestly 🤦♀️
