Polio is in the news, with vaccination under threat and recent outbreaks. This makes Alan Marshall’s classic disability memoir more relevant than ever.

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?

'When politics is framed as a set of angrily, jealous resentments then nothing good can follow... It’s a Potemkin politics that plays people with genuine cause for disillusion as mugs.'
