Still thinking about this lovely, fragrant, disturbing work by @anna_may_kirk, which I got to experience @pact_sydney Salon on Saturday… Sleeper (Asystasia gangetica) gives us a sense of what the Australian bush will smell like in the future, as climate change accelerates the flourishing of introduced species, at the expense of native wildlife.

The KIDS! They really brought it today. I’ve been to a *lot* of rallies and #climatestrike was honestly the largest I’ve seen, articulating some of the clearest demands I’ve heard at a protest. Honoured to be there with some top notch oldies including @alexgreenwich & @annarose3317, & to hear from honorary youth leader @clovermoore

So great to be at the launch of #ChoiceWords on the same day the ALP announced a rational, national abortion policy. Big congrats to editor @louiseswinn & publisher @kellyafagan (who I am squeezing here) & all the contributors – lovely to meet some of you today.

Read the room, Chris: B’roo Star Casino Overdevelopment of Cockle Bay Demolishing Sirius Demolishing Bidura None of these are great ideas. Almost every so-called “State Significant Development” has bent the rules and blighted our public realm for the profit of your developer mates. We say no. We’re proud to fight against them & Waterloo is no exception.

“The puzzle of who killed me lies at the heart of this city. If you could solve that puzzle, you could save this city from itself.” Just caught the *final day* on #TheBeehive by @zannybegg – a beautiful, enraging, inspiring meditation on the battle taught by Juanita Neilson to save Victoria Street from overdevelopment, and her murder, still unsolved. The film is gorgeous and the documents are fascinating. We have to learn our history in #Sydney, because it is intent on repeating.

So excited to be holding (& included in) #ChoiceWords, a collection of writing about abortion, edited by @louiseswinn, published by @allenandunwin & featuring a staggering cast of brilliant women! Abortion is still illegal in NSW, and inaccessible in some states & parts of our country. That is unacceptable in 2019. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to @mariestopesaus Choice Fund, helping women experiencing financial & other hardships to access abortion care. It’s our March 4: order now for the your feminists in your life! #iwd #iwd2019
