It just arrived Friday. But it will be making an appearance in a story for the local newspaper this week, my first tentacle out into the public. But I plan on wearing them both everywhere.

Jillian Segal says her plan is to expand IHRA training “at scale” — to all govt depts & all businesses in the country — & be driven by a new taxpayer funded body - which she reveals is already in the works.😳 What the hell is going on?

The prosecution of Richard Boyle for blowing the whistle on appauling Tax Office debt recovery practices was a great public service which saved lives but caused him “complete and utter psychological destruction”. We need a Whistleblower Protection Authority! #auspol

‘Complete and utter psychological destruction’: Richard Boyle speaks on toll of blowing the whistle on ATO debt collection practices

Scott Morrison was referred to the NACC over Robodebt and the Govt paid his $461K legal fees. I won an #AUKUS nuclear waste #FOI challenge and the Govt is threatening I’ll have to pay their $150K legal fees. @albomp.bsky.social thinks that’s fair play! #auspol
