Ouch. @1800RESPECT. An organisation for victims of domestic violence. https://twitter.com/jason_om/status/1362173968782823424

The @dfes_wa amid bushfire emergencies. Very cool. https://twitter.com/PeterJohnLaw/status/1362165861612576771
The @actgovernment. Interestingly not other State Government pages?
Borderline, but Christian Media and Arts:
The @walkleys, a journalism prize page has been banned. Interestingly, the @withMEAA has remained intact. Both are journalism and media industry focused, so why has one survived but the other hasn't?
Women's Rugby League is down, but many of the main sports pages (NRL, AFL) appear intact.
QRL is down, individual sports teams in the state I've looked at thus far seem intact.
QLD's InTrust Super Cup down:
South Australia's main government page is down.
@SAHealth has also been caught up in the FB ban.
Western Sydney Health is down as well.
As is Sydney Local Health District:
Homelessness and poverty support page, Sacred Heart Mission @ScdHrtMission
Same for Council to Homeless Persons:
And @MissionAust:

Need to get to work. Will continue this thread at a later time. But I think we get the point.
And we're back. Sydney mother's group, North Shore Mums.
The Australian Copyright Council https://twitter.com/AusCopyright/status/1362216225112133636
The Malthouse Theatre in Melbourne
Domestic Violence service Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre:
Small bloggers are getting caught up in this too. This might make sense were it not for the fact that others haven't, such as FJ. https://twitter.com/Cutiejea1/status/1362218405688872965
UNSW newspaper Tharunka caught up as well. This is a blurred line, because something like this would arguably not be included in any conversations about social media platforms paying for content. It reinforces, however, the call that they should pay more tax to fund journalism.
The most absolute random one I've seen has been this Dairy Farm in regional Victoria. This one alone has dispelled any explanation I may have had for why certain pages may have been caught up in the Facebook ban.
