Another odious twitter personality weaponising yesterday's tragedy in Bondi Junction to further her transphobia. @jk_rowling would be proud 🤡

Please don’t call the police on rough sleepers. It’s not illegal to be homeless and the cops can’t do anything. Instead, inform local outreach and let them know 👍

Don't you love how Tony Abbott blatantly breaks a public health order and he avoids any punishment? Any other person would be slapped with a $1000 fine!

What's the point of holding a royal commission if you're going to ignore >90% of the recommendations?

Correct. I work treating people who have experienced major tragedies like what happened yesterday.
Don't co-opt such a tragedy, and don't leverage it to serve your distorted agenda.

This man is a “trauma psychologist.”

“His treat is a cup of coffee” - Mate he gets $276 per day to pay for food and hotels.
Former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce is so skint he turns off his heater at night to save money and his “treat” is a cup of coffee because by the end of the month he barely has any cash left. trib.al/JDolkg1

How can NSW Health ask people to stay at home in Fairfield and yet not provide appropriate economic supports to enable this? 25% of the population is on a casual contract.

There is currently no availability in all of Sydney of Vyvanse 40mg, an stimulant used to treat ADHD. Pharmacies also don't have any knowledge of their next shipment.
Why are we relying upon a single supplier for this crucial drug?

Serial bully pulls the victim card after being called out. Classic
The fact you are a registered mental health professional is terrifying. But you know that .. that’s why you are trying to intimidate me as a woman who can call your bluff.
Why don’t you use your dubious skills to do something about MVAW instead of looking for attention from me?

LGB youth are five times more likely to have attempted suicide than hetero youth. Around 1 in 2 trans youth have attempted suicide. Your response? Introduce legislation that legalises discrimination against the queer community. You're a disgrace.
Suicide takes far too many Australians, devastating families and local communities. One life lost to suicide is one too many, which is why my Government is working towards a zero suicide goal.

It grinds my gears when arrogant people use the term "science says" to prove their point.
1) Science cannot speak
2) Scientists never agree
