This confirms @oz_f's initial analysis: NSW police have targeted Aboriginal communities and communities of colour, poor communities, with no correlation to number of covid cases. Policing the pandemic rather than public health response. #COVIDpolicing smh.com.au/national/nsw/the-…

Lack resilience? How insulting. Us millennials at the ABC were usually paid less but expected to do so much more than many of our older colleagues, plus many are on insecure contracts for years - @ItaButtrose clearly needs to go & meet more of them smh.com.au/national/buttrose…
Buttrose says Millennial workers lack resilience and 'need hugging'

I know I'm obvi biased, but if we're lifting up black voices, why not show some love for @Blacktress, who I truly don't think gets enough credit for being one of the best in the game!

I got a bit confused so I voted for a white supremacist meme in the national parliament. I'm paid $200,000 a year.
