I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social I want you to explain to me why I should suddenly turn my life upsidedown and stop using public spaces - that I need for work and participating in public life - when I've used them every day for the last 10 years. Have you ever even spoken to a trans person before?

I'll be in #Melbourne in a few weeks for #NDC Conferences and i'm hoping:
a) People will come to my talk - the competition is fierce!
b) You laugh at my memes
c) You learn something about Landing Zones and learn to love them like I do
