Great article on how TV in Israel depicts a sanitised picture of the war. All strength, no consequences. That means no crippled health system, no civilian deaths, no orphans. Stories matter, and absence speaks volumes.

Today, I'm backed by my senator, @DavidPocock, in launching my campaign to establish a duty of care owed by politicians to young people, ensuring that our health and wellbeing is considered when making decisions that could affect the climate system.

In the office after almost a month away! First at IAG2023, and then recovering from the nasty covid passenger that came back with me. Let's hope I remember how this all works 😅

@NatalieJester @AlasLockhart Who was the lovely #iag2023 speaker who presented on the performance of ANZAC Day ceremonies? I can't find her in the program! 😔 @InstAustGeog

my brain has been of 🔥 since this mornings’s @cultgeogau session with the super inspiring @willowrubbish presentation on DIY zinemaking and Deniz Yildiz on playback theatre as experimental collective research practices, reading the zine now! #iag2023

[Alexander Burton @AlexBurtonline]

Great way to finish #iag2023! @charlotte_tas gave such a worthwhile presentation, showing you really can learn from youth in research 😊
