Best 30th bday gift! I finally got conferred today!
It has been tough, to say the least, completing this journey throughout the pandemic. But I wasn’t alone: couldn’t have done it without the support of many, whom I am eternally indebted to ❤️ esp @NarelleWarren & Dr Sara Niner
Still haven’t fully grasped the reality that I’ve just submitted my @Monash_Arts #PhD thesis 😭 Woke up feeling SURREAL!
Much ❤️ from our beloved cohort @arielyap_ @LalSouvik @brittanylralph @PrabhaBogoda1 @lakshmin_m & others. CONGRATS to @TrangDo88 for submitting today!! 🎉🥳
Special thanks to my supervisors Sara Niner & @NarelleWarren, who bought a book, printed articles and HAND DELIVERED them to me during lockdown. The walks in the park & frequent check-ins got me through the Pandemic. I miss my home. Couldn’t have done any of it without them ❤️

Twenty years ago this very week, my family and I were on a small wooden fishing boat in the Indian Ocean, having fled the barbarism of the #Taliban. We were rescued by the Norwegian containership, the MV Tampa, and denied entry to Australia at the point of a gun.

The picture does not only show the risk of oxygen shortages. It also shows the latest North/South divide in global health politics - and possibly global politics in general!

I love freedom. Who doesn't love freedom? I want freedom from being amongst the over 4 million official (and likely 10 million actual) COVID deaths globally. And freedom from being amongst the over 13 million current active cases. Or millions of current Long COVID cases. 1/

BREAKING: Labor votes with Libs to enable **public money** to go to **new** coal and gas projects.
In a climate crisis, Lib & Lab hand your $ to coal and gas corporations to make the crisis worse.
Remember this when you hear Labor talk about climate in their Budget reply.

More than 20 leading #refugee law and #migration experts sign joint statement expressing concern about a Bill that was rushed through Parliament today, with bilateral support, allowing indefinite immigration detention #auspol #auslaw kaldorcentre.unsw.edu.au/new…

The Liberals and Labor have just rushed through yet another bill that will undermine refugees' place in Australia. Protection should be permanent.
Dr. Gilbert Mak retweeted
2. These laws would give the Minister a new power to overturn refugee status.
This undermines the concept of refugee protection. It is a clear breach of international law.
Refugee protection should never be a day-to-day prospect

BREAKING: Right now, the Morrison Government is rushing new laws through the Parliament that will lead to more refugees spending years, potentially decades, in indefinite detention.

No, we aren’t giving you a raise. But we do have some great online classes on meditation to reduce stress that should help. We find deep breathing so relaxing!
Dr. Gilbert Mak retweeted
Ok-deep breaths. I wrote a deeply personal piece re some of my experiences/observations of family violence. Sharing such stories can be part of the collaborative effort to denounce violence against women, girls & people of all genders.

Now we have a PM who doesn’t read.
An Attorney General who doesn’t read.
An AFP Commissioner who can’t read.
A NSW Police Commissioner who doesn’t want to read.
A woman who had her life destroyed.
We need a full blown Inquiry.
