I rent, I had a scheduled inspection a couple of wks ago.
I have a lovely property agent & agency. Over the last few years we've built up a rapport whenever I've seen my PA from time to time.
Last time she came she told me that she won't be my property agent anymore
๐ #auspol
Disappointed, I asked why?
She said "I've thought about it for a while & I've decided to go into sales, this is the direction I want my career to go".
I told her that even though I'll miss her, I wish her every success in the world.

And, I told her how beautifully empowering it was to just hear her speak that way.
This is exactly what the women of my age fought for, so young women, our daughters & granddaughters can make these plans for their lives, their families, their careers. Their choice.
๐ #auspol
Every generation of women who came before us paved the way to make it that little bit better.
When young women tell me their career-path or like my daughter says, when I ask when she's planning to have children, she replies...

"I just want to work on my career for a bit then after maternity leave I'll come back to a better position & be where we want to be in life, more choices"
That just blows my mind & tells me that it was all worth it.
Still a long way to go but the future looks good

I want to represent the ppl, but I'm just a normal person, but broke as fuck
I'd be up against Bert van Manen, in Forde QLD, he's a vanilla candidate easily beaten by someone like me with audacity & passion

Let's plan this
To take on the LNP I'm gonna need money & support, lots of it.
I'm willing to do this but only if my community supports me.
I'm a proud Labor member but my problem is that even if Labor takes me on I'll always have a higher obligation to my community ...
๐
than to my party, that doesn't mean I don't support my party it just means I have a higher obligation to the Australian ppl & Forde. I'll vote along ALP lines but if elected by my community then I owe a greater obligation to them, my party second. That's OK

David Littleproud is in a relationship with Annabelle Douglas- started in 2018
Turnbull introduced #bonkban Feb 18- Littleproud replaced Barnaby Joyce Feb 18- hence the big cover-up of his relationship with HIS media advisor in 18
๐ #auspol#insiders
Notice the difference in LinkedIn records back then & now- Ms Douglas has taken steps to cover-up her employment history with Minister Littleproud
By rights, Littleproud should've lost his job in 2018 for his Ministerial breach- he didn't, still has his job

1. 10 days paid DV leave for victims with 10-20 hours of free intensive counselling over those 10 days.

2. 10 days paid DV leave for perpetrators with daily or twice daily check-ins at a police station and 20 hours of free intensive counselling over those 10 days.
This 10 day period is critical to diffuse tensions.

Way back in December 2019, remember @senbmckenzie was the then Agriculture Minister?
She resigned in disgrace from the Ministry in Feb 2020
๐ #auspol#insiders
When Bridge was Minister for Agriculture, she approved this 'Ad hoc/One-off' grant to Rural Business Tasmania for $349,999.99 for the purpose of: 'Support Rural Financial Counselling Service Programme'
They are currently promoted on the Dept of Ag website.

Now, here's the interesting part
You may recall that Bridge was once married to Tim Edwards & they had four kids before divorcing.
In her first speech to parliament she paid tribute to her children.
