Just one by-election going the right way and it’ll be 50-50!

And here’s my cake from the previous parliament (after the 2022 election) for comparison. The orange Smarties here are independents or other. /4

Women will hold 112 of the 226 seats. Just one more seat will tip us over into parity. So here is more cake data! 🎂📊 This is Australia’s 48th Parliament by gender, chamber and party. The left side is women, the right side is men. Pink icing for the Senate, green for the Reps. /2

Some of the people who contact me about their experiences in parliamentary workplaces are suicidal. It took a(n “alleged”) rape at Parliament House to give us the Set the Standard report. I hope it will not take a preventable workplace death for real change to take place. /6

And personally, I will know Parliament’s workplace culture has improved when I no longer receive phone calls from parliamentary department and political staff there who are seeking help because their workplace has devastated their career and their mental health. /5

We will also know Parliament’s workplace culture has improved when people feel safe to speak out about their experiences, knowing they won’t face victimisation and retaliation. That is not currently the case. /4

We will know Parliament’s workplace culture has improved significantly when it is the perpetrators of workplace sexual assault, sexual harassment, bullying and discrimination who are forced out of their jobs. Not the victims of those behaviours. /3

If you aren’t sufficiently grossed out by Sour Blueberry Twisties, consider washing them down with some Pokemon Sparkling Water - Sea Salt Cheese Flavour for a real taste sensation!
