World AIDS Day 2014
World AIDS Day 2014 getting underway here in Australia. Thinking beyond our shores to those trans and gender diverse peeps with I met and to whom I listened at #AIDS2014.

Standing together in solidarity and equality with our siblings worldwide.

The Australia I want, I really really want #ozIreallywant
An Australia that recognises that with compassion and empathy, people who are vulnerable can often be guided to their own strengths and ideas, thereby improving their own situation so they are safer.
