- Cathy Freeman, Evonne Goolagong Cawley and Ash Barty. That’s it, I’m done. ❤️@AustralianOpen
- So NOW it’s a national emergency? The refusal of NSW to take this seriously - properly seriously - and adopt the lessons learned from other outbreaks and other shutdowns - is bordering on unforgivable. @NSWHealth @GladysB
- They never stop. They never run out of compassion. They’re the best of us.Our team is serving free meals now at Flemington Towers
- To my calm, factual and diligent colleagues in ABC radio, news and television you are doing a brilliant job. You were our guide through a smoking labyrinth of burnt and closed roads. ABC emergency broadcasting is a precious national resource. #AustralianFires @abcmelbourne
- Since when did more than 600 homes destroyed by fire in a couple of weeks not become a national emergency? Not even mentioned on the front page of the Weekend @australian ? This some epic level of blasé.
- Well I sure hope those security guards had their fun, because they utterly f***ed us too. Here’s to #lockdown2 #COVID19Vic
- So I have COVID. Which means I now have plenty of time for someone to carefully walk me through how the struggle for transgender rights is somehow responsible for Putin invading Ukraine and threatening nuclear war. Take all the time you need.
- I love how Ash Barty has never defined herself by the work she does, the sport she plays. I love how she walks away when it’s not as much fun as it should be - and then walks into something else and is even stronger. Life lessons. Go well, Ash. @ashbarty
- When someone shows you who they really are - believe them. It’s kind of useful to see publicly how some men treat some women when they are trying to do their job. Appalling. Keep going, @danutakozaki 🤛
- The loss of the most-listened to and flagship 7:45am news bulletin for listeners around the country - rural, regional, city, suburban, digitally-isolated - is massive. Is the financial saving worth it? @abcnews
- A listener to the show today accused me of being “a feminist demi-god” and now all I can think about is what I have to do to get the full promotion.
- It really is.Sorry. But this is embarrassing for my profession
