- Lots of people are saying Greens gains in Brisbane electorates are due to climate change. That’s part of it but as someone living on the ground here, people are missing the huge grassroots community approach those candidates have led.
- Djokovic’s hearing today has already gotten more coverage than; - The fire at Park Hotel that left asylum seekers without a laundry and gym - Maggots in food - The COVID outbreaks in Villawood, MITA & Park Hotel - Australia ending its offshore resettlement deal with PNG

00:00 - Again, I’m hoping someone at this presser asks the NSW Premier why house inspections are going ahead with tenants like myself being asked to leave home for two hours. On Saturday, we had TEN groups come through our flat.

- Reporter: We've been contacted by a removalist who said they had somebody test positive on Sunday. [They] rang NSW Health, [were] told, 'don't ring us, we will ring you'. He [hasn't been] contacted... He's sleeping in his warehouse because he's too frightened to go home.
- Exclusive: A whistleblower at Brisbane watchhouse has sent me shocking recordings of officers joking they want to “bury and beat the f**k” out of black people, referring to Nigerians as “j***boos” & saying “let’s hope Ebola works”.
- I hope Djokovic’s detention in Park Hotel encourages some commercial media outlets to cover the plight of refugees & asylum seekers more extensively Reports of “maggots” in food were covered by SBS last month but are only appearing in some outlets now in light of Djokovic
- Priya says she slept well last night - after four years of restless nights in detention. “I was so surprised when I saw this much love from the community.. I’m so thankful and I’m so grateful.” @GuardianAus
