I think for many; last night felt like a moral victory after the pain of the voice referendum. It was so easy to fear Australia had lost its way; lost its kindness.
It certainly felt that way for so many of my family & friends.
It feels safer today.
Thank you Australia.

I hope you enjoyed your #auspol democracy day
Only 6.6% of the world is in a “full democracy”. Australia is one of those precious few
Less than half (45%) the world lives in any sort of democracy
What we have is special
I participated across Hawke & Ballarat (where I’m from)
How about you?

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.
