I cannot believe I can finally call my beautiful partner, my husband. We're MARRIED at last - after 23 years together. Such a beautiful, moving day. #MarriageEquality #LoveWins

Rather than stressing why one doesn't belong, emphasize what the other three have in common. Discussion is key! Do it for each quadrant!

A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... & of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
Trans care saves lives.

The recession we have to have? @RBAInfo about to hike interest rates again as a counter inflationary measure. Apparently we need more unemployment, more insolvencies, more mortgage stress in an economy of Gulf war-driven petrol/diesel prices and their higher living cost impacts.

Asked to comment on #SoldAStory, UC Boulder emeritus Ernest R. House responded:
"Emily Hanford's podcast does not accurately describe our critique of the Follow Through study... It can hardly be discredited by innuendo in a podcast deliberately slanted to favor Direct Instruction."

Joanna, you cannot be serious.
Campaigning against a comprehensive conversion therapy ban IS homophobic. You’re willing to leave young LGB people vulnerable to abuse if it means young trans people remain unprotected from practices that amount to torture.
Today for the 1st time @AllianceLGB are giving evidence in Parliament to the Joint Committee on the draft Conversion Practices Bill. We are so proud to be here notwithstanding the tidal wave of homophobia directed against us including from some current & former MPs.

Jess Wilson won’t share a debate stage with the Liberals’ quasi-coalition partner, One Nation.
But apparently relying on ON to form govt is another matter entirely.
An interesting distinction, and one Jess Wilson could explain at a debate, that is if she'd ever turn up to one.

Hey Jess Wilson, another candidates forum in Kew…
Voters want to hear why you’ve backflipped on Treaty, climate, gas and coal.
They want you to explain the $9 billion hole in your costings.
Will you show up?

Pretty embarrassing and damning response to the evidence @MForstater (@SexMattersOrg) provided in the Sandie Peggie tribunal.
As we’ve always said: Anti-trans ideology and arguments rely heavily on anecdote, opinion and misinformation over hard evidence, as demonstrated here.

In May, the AFP received a referral from Amnesty, APAN and AMAN about Australians alleged to have committed crimes while serving in the IDF in Gaza. I asked them for an update in Estimates, and this is where they're at. We’ll keep following it.

Victorian Liberal leader Jess Wilson wants to restrict Victorians' right to protest.
Melbourne has seen significant public opposition to Israel's genocide in Gaza over the last three years.
But Wilson demonised anti-genocide protesters as "extremists" and framed the peaceful protests as "violent".

Not much Nine/Murdoch coverage of new @Greens leader @DavidShoebridge’s cost of living (tax relief) ideas announced in his @PressClubAust speech 👇yesterday. Why’s that? Shoebridge wants to raise the tax free threshold to $26,000 as mortgagees prepare to be gouged again by Australia’s obscenely profitable banks as @RBAInfo cruelly pulls the % lever on Cup day.
YESTERDAY: Senator David Shoebridge, Leader of the Australian Greens and Senator for New South Wales, Addressed the National press club for the “Greens leader Address to the National Press Club”.
Watch the replay on ABC iview or on the National Press Club of Australia YouTube channel.

The conversion ban just passed the Lower House. It’s a great day for Tasmania.
Thank you to all the MPs who voted for this important and overdue reform.

📣 CANADIAN HOSPITALS TO TEST REAL-TIME AIR DISINFECTION
“Allowing 10% of our patients to get infected is unsustainable. The cost is simply too high. Billions of $ are spent on treatment & many billions more are lost to the inefficiency of blocked beds.”

There will probably be enough votes to pass Tasmania’s conversion ban through the Lower House.
But holes may still be punched through it allowing conversion to continue.

Have you heard anyone talking about the Science of Reading in math education circles?
I have, and this conversation needs examining.

The antisemitism envoy told the Royal Commission that Gaza’s death toll was “grossly inflated” and that the UN accepted this. The UN said otherwise. When I asked she said she “notes” the UN’s views.

Pleased to speak in Parliament today & to support the call for a national strategy - indoor air is the biggest opportunity for public health gain both in normal times & in prep for the next pandemic.
