Looking forward to meeting the outrage from the trolls. Just don’t know if it will be the fact that both Premier and Treasurer in Victoria are women or that their names both start with the letter’J’. Is Jaclyn Symes the first non-male treasurer in Australia?

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."
