Any fair assessment would concur I deserve a Wife Of The Year parade and scholarship set up in my name for this example of super-human restraint and angelic forbearance. I wasn’t the one to first point out that the remote we searched for late last night (with me getting increasingly snappy and frustrated ) was WHERE HE HAD IN FACT “LOOKED”. (It’s allowed to raise it once the other person does, to highlight one’s magnanimity) 😇 #BoyLook UPDATED TO ADD: female/male like ratio – 200/1 Laydeez, you get it
“Destiny is calling me” The only thing that made Richmond winning the Grand Final better was The Killers singing Mr Brightside at the match! Here I am with 3 Tiger tragics #DestinyIsCallingTheTigers
Whatever. Just in Vogue as part of their 2018 Game Changers series. NBD.
Today is #DayOfTheGirl and as part of the day, @abctv made “Advice to My 12 Year Old Self”, with me and a big fistful of amazing women giving their insights. Airs on ABC ME and on ABC iView – or link to the clip on Twitter in bio!
My kids have taken over my Instagram account for #WorldChildrensDay with @unicefaustralia ! They wish all kids had happy childhoods, safe homes, warm beds, and games to play. And I think they’re right 😊 #KidsTakeOver #UNICEFAmbassador
Happy school summer holidays, kids! Laundry is your responsibility now ☀️
“Mum I love you so much, and I love it when you wear this white shirt.”
“That’s so nice, darling. Why’s that?”
“Because I think of it like a giant tissue.”
Hands down, the BEST and most horrifyingly realistic “interview” I have ever done. Smart and cutting spoof of the myriad inane interviews I (and many others) have done over the years as a Muslim woman, on the brilliant comedy @getkrackinshow! Can’t believe the Kates let me come on their staggeringly good production and attempt to act. This unblinking face is what I pulled when they asked me, “Are you repressed by your hijab? Blink once for yes and twice for no.” And check out the graphic they made for the segment – perfect. Catch it on iView #YoureNotGoingToAskMeAboutMyHijabAgainAreYou

I’m hosting @abcinmelbourne Afternoons today! We’re talking tattoos, the War on Waste with Craig Reucassel, iconic 80s band Thompson Twins, a very Country Women’s Association Christmas, and mini Godzilla swamp skink discovery! Tune in or streeeeeeam me
5 books in my stack. Desperately want to read them all immediately. Do I read them systematically, one at a time, giving each book my full attention like a friend at a long-awaited one-on-one lunch? Or read them all at once, dipping in and out of each, letting them talk to each other in my mind? What do you do? My comments are on for once! 📚 EDITED WITH UPDATE: 📚 majority of you said one at a time. So that’s what I’m doing hashtag democracy. Plowing through the first one now! Is there anything as delicious as reading? No. No there’s not. What a ridiculous thing for you to ask.
This is fine. **3:30am UPDATE: it was not fine**
Got to spend the afternoon talking relationships on a stage in Tassie with Mr & Mrs @rivercottageaus aka Paul & Alicia West, and Paul & Tami Roos! 2 seriously cool and fascinating couples with smart insights. Feel like I’ve just had couples therapy.
I am flying the economy-class dream #EmptySeatsForDays
Off to the grand final, which means it’s time to dust off this vintage yellow & black jacket I bought, made back when there was still a West Germany (which was around the time Richmond last won a GF) #GOTIGES
I will take full credit for the Australian women’s team’s satisfying beating of England after appearing in this campaign for them. Every Australian knows smashing England in the cricket is a long-standing patriotic duty! @southernstars
It’s Logies time! I was stunned to see I wasn’t included in the list for “Best New Talent” for my ground-breaking performance on @getkrackinshow . Must be an administrative error. But you can vote for my husband as Best Presenter & Gold Logie Winner! Go on guys, give him this – he’s achieved so little, he could really use the encouragement. Link to vote in my bio!
So chuffed to be on this list for my book “Fighting Hislam”, especially as when I was powering away at it in PhD form, I figured only 2 people (the thesis examiners) would ever read it before it remained to gather dust on the university library shelves. It still amazes and thrills me that people ACTUALLY READ MY BOOK. Madness. Thanks @readingsbooks and @mupublishing !!
Testing out #NintendoLabo! Being a massive robot and destroying a helpless city? YES
