Beautiful reflection thank you. “Our quality of life is directly proportional to the speed at which we accept the facts”. #damnonions.
Everyone is important. We need to remember - and we need to remind everyone - because it seems so easily forgotten. My thoughts in @westaustralian this week.

“Do not look away”.
The decision of three actors in the Sydney Theatre Company's new production of The Seagull to wear the keffiyeh during curtain call sparked a frenzy of condemnation from members of the Jewish community. @latingle spoke to @louiseadler. #abc730

Enhancing our democracy .#VoteYes2023.
I am voting YES because political democracy is worth making better. We need more people involved in decisions that impact their lives. In & around parliament, but also in workplaces & communities. 1/14.

Just caught this on iView. Passionate oration. Historical context, clear #Voice explanation, incisive deconstruction of No arguments #VoteYes23 . Watching Dr Charles Perkins Oration 2023 in iview
Rachel Perkins giving the Dr Charles Perkins AO Oration @Sydney_Uni @mscott @ProfLJP @dan_bourchier @ABCaustralia @eatlikeanimals . We miss him because he’s our Dad, his strength as a father. Our people’s cause was central to his life. We miss his leadership. #charlesperkins

“….the only constitutional process involving First Peoples since Federation” - and what a result! We need First Peoples at the table.

Compelling foresight. “Democracy is not just a political system….”.
A bit more from Home Affairs Minister @ClareONeilMP - announcing a "Strengthening Democracy Taskforce" to address the #nationalsecurity implications of public distrust in our democratic institutions. Worth a listen. #auspol @10NewsFirst

“The RBA seems to have lost sight of the impact of the quantum of debt in the economy. While interest repayments as a share of disposable household incomes might appear low, principal repayments are at their highest levels ever. And borrowers pay both.”.
RBA is blindly lifting rates ‘like an inflation nutter’ -.my little missive

Exciting initiative. The private sector will be looking on with interest. Great opportunity to deliver #bestpractice #ethical leveraging of #data.
“Data, and its creative and intelligent use, will be the currency of the renovation and re-imagination of social policy and program design and delivery for the next 10 years.” @martinsw on the potential & pitfalls of data-led social policy reform

Hang on, 17 people signed that book, and not one left handed! #noleftlefties.
Proud to lead an inclusive government that is as diverse as Australia itself. Welcome to all these new Labor members.

#FreeSpeech abounds - free listening? Not so much. Good admin tips too: Elon Musk’s wrong about free speech on social media – the problem lies in the algorithms

Agreed.
Jim Chalmers "if the Prime Minister wants to say that an extra $1 an hour for Australia's low paid workers will break the economy, then the economy's not in the condition that he pretends it to be". #auspol

Not sure if 'judgement' is the right term, but great use of #AI and #bots - the candidate gets feed back too

If you’re going for a job at Afterpay, Woolworths or Qantas, your first interview is going to be with Phai, a bot that’s a smart interviewer.

Don’t be fooled- Australia’s #carbonlaundering scheme.
As always I'm coming to Aus energy and climate things about 13 hours too late but look, I **need** to tell you about precisely how stunningly bad this project is . So, a short thread.

Incredible statistic #virtuouscycle.
If we switched to renewable energy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall almost in half. Because they're just carrying coal and oil and gas.

Agreed, this is a #beatnotmeet target.
Better than Australia’s paltry, existing target, but nonetheless not in line with a 1.5 degree world. Let’s hope it’s the floor to Labor’s ambitions for the next decade, not the ceiling.
