32 year old stay at home mum of 3 children (6 year old boy and 3 year old twin girls).  My husband (Ben Pobjie) and I have been married for 12 years. We live in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne, where I have lived all my life. I love, love, love to bake and hope to one day have a dessert bar. I also love music and movies (comedy is my fav).

TG is the nom de plume for a 33-year-old self-confessed Twitter-holic living in Darwin, NT with her partner of almost-9 years, two kids, two cats, and a rabbit.  She has a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from Texas A&M University, but has never really used it and admits that she still doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up.  Her passions include Autism education, novel writing (2-time NaNoWriMo winner), and pop music chart research.  Whatever you do, don't ask about her objection to all things Apple or her unhealthy obsession with collecting Pet Shop Boys memorabilia - you'll never heard the end of it!

Hi, I'm Pip from Sydney. I work at Clayton Utz law firm in one of the most epic workplaces you will ever see, 1 Bligh Street. My major hobby is politics, especially from the Whitlam era. I recently nominated my favourite TV show as election night, and once sat in the tally room at the 2011 NSW election. Just a tip: If you ever eat in the parliamentary dining room at State Parliament House, don't get the whiting. I'm also mad about Harry Potter, pavlova, and dresses from David Lawrence. I prefer dogs over cats, savoury over sweet and summer over winter. A proud Christian and activist who writes letters to the paper a lot. My favourite quote: be yourself. Everybody else is taken.

As a full-time arts student, David barely has time between oversleeping and pretending to listen to people while actually designing and analysing challenges for and from assorted competitive reality shows (despite not being employed by any) to do much of anything, let alone curate and administrate an international Twitter account. But then it turned out we (1) needed a proper Twitter account to showcase Australia and its fabulous people, and (2) weren't enough like America, and needed someone to do a ten-day shift at the helm in order to coincide the curator changeovers. David really needs to find a way to get paid for this.

@TheGrimRecapper is the account administrator, and curated the @WeAreAustralia Twitter account on January 18, 2012, then from March 8 to March 17, 2012.

Voluntwitter Guidelines

1. Please, for the love of [insert your favourite imaginary being here], do not tweet anything racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise derogatory when curating. We have had such a situation in the past, and admin is NOT willing to repeat it. If it happens again, the curator in question will have their posting privileges revoked.

2. Curators and admin reserve the right to block flamers and spammers at will. We are all people, and we deserve to be treated as such.

3. Interested in voluntweeting? Want to make a complaint about a curator? Send a message to @TheGrimRecapper and he'll see what he can do.
