It would be great if Creative Australia could provide a list of subjects and people that artists must avoid if they wish to keep their govt contracts over the next 25 years #estimates

Almost 20 years ago, a doctor on TV was asked, "Isn't 12 a little early for a kid to be deciding to transition?" And her response was, "It's old enough for them to decide that it's not worth living anymore if they can't."

I just tried to lift this 2.5m ladder over my head which was unsuccessful. But I have an excellent stupidity lump to remind me not to do it again in a hurry. This app may well chart my imminent downfall. #renovating #BUILDINGLOOKSGREAT
