More than 20 years ago I started work as an intern. The pagers and the on call phone, I thought, were signs of authority and power. Having been on call for over 20 years I realise now that they are symbols of service. #ENTsecrets #ENT #surgery #surgeon 1/2

I've spoken to half a dozen LNP MPs who had no idea about the citizen 'referendum' policy Dutton is backing in who all think it is nuts - but that is not the point. None are willing to push back because party stability these days means blind obedience, not challenge.

The time to care for the poor is now
The Beatitudes are a template for what Jesus expects us to do now, which is to live out the reign of God, to participate in its building up.

Really feel like this story hasn't gotten enough play given people spent a week or two freaking out over it.
Would be good to hear Dutton asked what he thinks about the "biggest terrorist plot on recent memory" turning out to be a scam by run-of-the-mill crims to get reduced sentences.

This is so true!
Don’t be distracted.
The bully will come & shout chaos. They will pit people against people. Then they will walk away with our money, leaving us all much much poorer in a state of disaster.
It will take years to undo the mess.
Don’t be distracted. Speak the truth together in kindness.

Nope. But I absolutely believe the only political party in Australia with the depth of talent to negotiate the chaotic new reality of Trump is the Labor Party and hamstringing them with a cross bench of greens and randos could be very dangerous. #auspol
