So many people are rioting on the streets of Port Moresby tonight. This video is from Gerehu in the north of POM, with the warehouse of a major retailer burning down. Paramedics say they're aware of many patients with severe burns and gunshot wounds. Video: Leo Manuai
More than three decades on from its closure, a massive environmental and human rights assessment is underway at the Panguna mine in Bougainville. Very humbled by the team on the legacy impact oversight committee, who took @ThecklaGunga1 and I from the mine to impacted communities

I love what I do and the work the ABC does. We all do - it’s why we work here, because it sure isn’t about the money. Everyone here I’ve spoken to all has a story (or several) about stifled band progression, pay inequality and rolling contract work.
It’s tough for younger staff, women and POC. This negotiation isn’t just about money, it’s about equality, fairness and secure and sustainable careers; issues we report on, and matters we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard. #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA
A sense of what’s going on in Mullumbimby - cleanup jobs written up on the whiteboard, other requests on the noticeboard, donations coming in, locals counselling each other, offering support in any way they can. This is such a massive community response @abcsydney #NSWFloods

I. AM. AMAZED. After Bluesfest was cancelled, the community nearby rallied on social media to help stallholders that had geared up to feed thousands. This is the line for a pop up at Jerry’s Smokehouse in Mullumbimby @abcsydney
