She's called Jessica Smith and she's a former Paralympian.
And she's lived in Dubai for years and she's got three kids and she's been posting really interesting, sensible, sensitive stuff about what it's like there at the minute, about the kind of information that Aussies can get about the DFAT portal that's been opened, Amelia, and all those things.
