So, it's been 6.5 years since I've written in my blog. Much has changed since then. But my love of PNG has not. https://t.co/OrR4Gb3GIJ

With everything that's going on at the moment, I think it's a timely reminder that we really should all be aspiring to World Peas. I'll see myself out 🎤

Great day to learn about Monitoring and Evaluation! Thanks to @GGA_WA and #SWWAhub members for joining us for module 4 - it’s been our pleasure! Dial in for Faciltation next Thursday - https://t.co/yJZt0rOOaO

Regardless about how you feel about trans people competing in sport (or anything) the backlash about Breanna Gill is NOT ok. I can’t imagine what their journey has been, justifying their existence, courageously being the precedent. Choose kindness, folks.

I spent a week in Halls Creek not long ago where there’s some amazing people tackling the sort of inter-generational trauma and social dysfunction many Australians would struggle to imagine.

"Yesterday’s breakthrough is today’s environmental crisis, like an infuriating game of environmental and public health Whac-A-Mole." Amen to this. Is creating meat in a petri dish *really* solving food systems challenges? Or is it guise for virtue signalling and $ making?

Other bits I enjoyed. Māori word for autism is Takiwātanga, “in their own time and space”. The invitation to reframe: 'Developed' and 'Developing' 'First World' and 'Third World' 'Global North' and 'Global South' 'West' and 'East' as 'Majority World' and 'Minority World'.

This wordy birdy loves language. As such, devoured this @agcconnect's Offshoot edition. https://t.co/ede727E9C1 English emphasises individualism nouns and possessive pronouns like 'mine' and 'yours', as distinct from many indigenous languages that prioritise relationality.

This is a really awful way to 'consult' with Basin communities. The Dept should know being as open and transparent about the process as possibe would be a good starting point. Quote from the Sefton review:

What a way to respond to a flood crisis. @Wesfarmers Confirmed - @Coles, the only major supermarket in the East Kimberley - has chosen not to participate in the distribution of air delivery of food supplies. Relief has switched to confusion and massive disappointment.

I don’t want purple cupcakes for #IWD2023, I want a bot that calls out gender pay gaps in hypocritical purple-washing companies. Now that’s really embracing the (correct) @UN_Women theme, ‘DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality’. @RRRNetwork @techcouncil_aus

"It gave them food security for the first time." @KathrynThorbur1 of Nulungu Research Institute at @NotreDameAUS Broome on the impact of doubling welfare for remote communities during COVID. And imagine now. No food on shelves and limited financial capacity anyway.

A relief for Kununurra - cut off completely by road - to receive a Government Airdrop of food supply. @Coles - Is it true that you have declined to accept an air food supply? (Pics of Kununurra Coles shelves to follow….) @Melissa4Durack @divinadanna76

Epic shout out to @FoodbankAus WA and MG Corp for organising food relief for vulnerable community members in the wake of this food security failure. And I say failure because this is a system breakdown. If it was a disaster, it would be unexpected. Climate change is expected.

After weeks of living off cabbage, iceberg lettuce and strawberries (thanks SA farmers!) our diets might consist of more than coleslaw and jam. @DefenceAust apparently flying a Hercules load of food to us this week. Excited for the big plane or tucker more? 🤔

Allow me to introduce you to the most ridiculous yet amazing thing you will see this week.

“Rather than ag tech for tech’s sake, what is good, optimised?” Guy Royal of indigenous VC @MauiToa challenging the @evokeAG audience to consider what problem we’re seeking to solve with tech, when more ≠ better. More might exacerbate unbalanced systems.

Hunger affects nearly 10% of the global population - that’s 811 million (!) people. I understand that growing food on the moon enables us to understand new ways of growing things, but sheesh - is moon food really the answer, or even the question? @evokeAG #evokeAG

“We know that with one action or idea, big things can grow” newly appointed @AgriFuturesAU Chair @Indigocathy calling all to collective action in the @evokeAG opening address, from consultancy to corporate to farmers.

Epic yarn on @abcperth Panel this AM with host @smith_damian and fellow panelist @zrfk! We spoke all things Cabinet reshuffle and leadership beyond politics. NB to self: Refrain from saying ‘bloody’ (or at least twice in one segment) in future. Hope Aunty wasn’t too upset! 😬😆
