A leadership challenge in the WA Liberal Party? Sounds like a case of re-arranging the deck-chairs in a dinghy. #wapol #auspol

Father and daughter Njalikwa and Shupiwe are ceramic artists based in Fremantle. Their pottery pieces are an expression of their Zambian heritage — a practice spanning back generations. I had the pleasure of photographing them at work for @KateLeaver92’s story.

"As reported by The Globe and Mail, residents spent a total of $181 million at curbside patios within 13 weeks of summer in 2021. If those spaces had remained dedicated to parking, only $3.7 million would have been reaped during the same time period."

If the story about the mum hoping to save a single yoghurt for her child’s Christmas got to you as it did to me, please consider donating to Foodbank Australia, perhaps instead of buying today’s takeaway coffee (full disclosure: I’m doing both) foodbank.org.au/support-us/m…

Any Russian diplomats in your city?
Two Finnish men 'annexed' a Russian diplomat's parking spot in the Finland’s city of Turku, by painting it with the Ukrainian flag. They called it the result of a "2-man referendum" on "annexing" the spot. The city announced it would not paint over it.

Re the current debate in NRL circles … Young people between 16-27 in the LGBQTI community are FIVE times more likely to die from suicide One of the key drivers in that is the feeling of a lack of inclusion We need to do better or risk needlessly losing more your lives

If $750 a week is the right amount for people forced off work by Covid-19, why don't we give that much to #pensioners? #auspol

Hello and good morning from the sunshine of the land of the Ngunnawal people. Dream strong and dream with your heart. As Naidoc week comes to a close today, I want to reiterate the theme. Get up, Stand up, Show up. Don’t be afraid. Yes it’s hard. But walking with us brings ❤️❤️

This news from the US about a judge ordering a 10 year old to remain pregnant is so devastating and cruel. I can’t understand how morally bankrupt you would have to be to make a child have a child. The 10 year old has been raped, and now will be traumatised. It’s sickening.
