An orange graphic with an image of Tracey, one of Leukaemia UK’s Community Champions. A quote from Tracey reads, ‘I saw my GP several times over months with symptoms including bone pain, exhaustion, bruising and mouth ulcers. I wasn’t offered a full blood count test and was told it was rheumatoid arthritis, but the medication didn’t help. It wasn’t until I fainted and ended up in A&E four months later that I was finally diagnosed with AML. Tracey Palmer-Hole, AML survivor.'

Unfortunately, Tracey’s story isn’t uncommon. A shocking 1 in 4 leukaemia patients experience avoidable delays in their diagnosis. It’s time to change this. 💪

I get to do a lot of fun and cool things in my job, but it doesn't get much better than getting to share my thoughts from the main stage at a conference where the audience is 100% made up of my formerly incarcerated brothers and sisters

Proud to #WearItPurple today for #LGBTQI+🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ youth, which include members of my family and friends. C'mon #Census2026, they COUNT, just as much as me. #CountUsIn2026 #CountUsIn

#CountUsIn Sign the petition to ensure that the Autralian Census properly count LGBTIQ+ people in 2026.

Albo broke yet another promise because of pressure from powerful religious bigots - and of course, as he lacks the intestinal fortitude to be an effective leader.
