Since the #BrittanyHiggins story broke a month ago, @abc730 has invited Prime Minister @ScottMorrisonMP for an interview more than 13 times. #abc730
#abc730 also invited every female member of Cabinet to join the program this evening. All of them declined but one - Industry Minister @karenandrewsmp. #auspol
"I've had a gutful of what has been uncovered in the last month ... I've had a gutful of disrespect for women over a number of years now, and I think it's a widespread cultural issue here in Parliament House." - @karenandrewsmp #abc730
"It is quite exclusive here in Canberra. It's not an inclusive environment for women." - @karenandrewsmp #auspol #abc730

When a young woman asked her Instagram followers if they'd experienced sexual assault at the hands of a schoolmate, she didn't expect to start a national conversation about consent. #abc730 @AvaniDias @RaveenHunjan
More than 5000 people have now come forward with their stories in response to that post. #abc730
"I find it incredibly disappointing that you need to have multiple women's voices to be heard before they're taken seriously." - Dr Briony Scott, Principal, @WenonaSchool #abc730

Former president Donald Trump attended CPAC – the annual conference of conservatives in the US – to deliver his first speech since leaving the White House, and took the opportunity to declare war on the few Republicans who dared to defy him. @FergusonNews #abc730
"It seems strangely appropriate that his political comeback would begin in at the City of Orlando, with its many fantasy worlds. There's Disney World, there's Sea World, and for three days last week, there was Trump World at CPAC." - @FergusonNews #abc730
"Here at CPAC, the Republican Party of old-style fiscal conservatives is effectively dead, killed off by the populist Donald Trump." - @FergusonNews #abc730

Today, the Morrison Government released the final report of the Aged Care Royal Commission. The ABC’s @anneconnollyabc has been reporting this story for years, and she was at the PM’s press conference today to ask questions that need to be asked. #abc730
"I think the main finding of the report that's so shocking is the way it castigates the lack of governmental leadership on the issue of aged care, which has been really endemic over the last 20 years." - @the_shb, aged care advocate #abc730
Today, PM @ScottMorrisonMP chose to hold his press conference today before the #AgedCareRC report was made publicly available.

@anneconnollyabc asks: "How can we ask questions that are relevant to what's in the report without knowing what's in it?" #abc730

A decision is looming for the Federal Government about whether to cut the dole back to just $40 a day - that's below the poverty line - after doubling it last year at the beginning of the COVID crisis. @latingle #abc730 #auspol
“There’s also been debate about how long the Government should - or could - keep its wage subsidy scheme JobKeeper in place.” - @latingle #abc730 #auspol
“No-one is exactly sure what will happen to the economy - or to jobs - when the wage subsidy ends. But already, between May and November last year, the number of businesses relying on the payment halved, to around half a million.” - @latingle #abc730 #auspol

For months the Tokyo Olympics have been plagued with uncertainty and they are now scheduled to go ahead in July. #abc730
“I still have to commit 100 per cent towards the Tokyo Olympics as if it’s going to happen, and if I get the news that it’s not going ahead then I’ll deal with that at the time.” - @JakeBirtwhistle, Australian triathlete #abc730
“They should go ahead, the Games, and they will go ahead. They’ve always been subject to the safety of the athletes and the Japanese people.” - John Coates, IOC Vice-President #abc730

Melbourne is the latest city to announce tougher social distancing rules after a single COVID-19 case linked to hotel quarantine was detected yesterday, prompting further calls for a rethink of the quarantine system. #abc730 @martymccarthy1
The 26-year-old who tested positive worked at the Grand Hyatt Hotel as part of the hotel quarantine program for the Australian Open. #abc730 #AusOpen
“We'd all like to go to the Open, I understand that, people want to do it … But really, in the scheme of things, I don't think it's important as making sure that we don't get any of these new variant strains out in the community.” - @billbowtell, @UNSW. #abc730
