The inimitable @Kon__K telling us what’s up with social work values, activism and systemic change. Let’s move from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset. #WSWD19

[Alex Bhathal @alexbhathal]

We need to get out of the scarcity mindset - totally unnecessary in one of the world’s richest cities. - @Kon__K brilliant speech for #WSWD2019 @AASW_

[Australian Association of Social Workers @AASW_]

Progress of women is a men’s issue not a women’s issue. @Kon__K says men are the biggest barrier to women’s progress. It needs to change #WSWD19

[Australian Association of Social Workers @AASW_]

#WSWD19 How do we get to a point where the narrative is not about tougher borders or higher walls but about longer tables where we can all sit together. Thank you Kon! Inspirational!

Independent MP Andrew Willie:
“The fact a succession of governments have locked up these children, the fact that there are still children on Nauru is an abomination”

Spot on Peter. #NDISMentalhealth

[VicEO+HumanRights @VEOHRC]

Important decision of the Supreme Court today, upholding #humanrights for mental health patients

[Peter Ruzyla @PRuzyla]

Seems to be consensus that NDIS is a great disability system that can support people with a psychiatric disability but isn’t a replacement for a mental health system. We badly need to rebuild #ndismentalhealth

Labor policy declares Newstart 'too low' this is good news long overdue so let’s hold Labor to this commitment ⁦@billshortenmp⁩ ⁦@cassandragoldie⁩ ⁦@ACOSS⁩ ⁦@BSL_Library⁩ it will help cost of living https://t.co/ADlZTpMReZ

If we're to have another inquiry into mental health, it should look at why the others have been ignored https://t.co/NG9LFd5PwP via @ConversationEDU

Mental health patients are being left to wait for hours in EDs. The consequences can be devastating https://t.co/MF5ICRQtQm

#DomesticViolence is one of the biggest drivers of homelessness in Australia. The women in this story were evicted even though their lives were at risk. Eviction should be a last resort. Everyone should have the right to a safe and long-term home. @CHPVic @_EverybodysHome @VCOSS

[Refugee Council of Australia @OzRefugeeCounc]

Doctors in Australia, New Zealand and internationally are calling the situation on #Nauru a humanitarian emergency - when will @ScottMorrisonMP heed their words and get #KidsOffNauru

[SANE @SANEAustralia]

Stereotyping those with mental illness as violent, unstable or out of control perpetuates stigma. The importance of mindfully and responsibly discussing mental health within the media and the community is crucial to ending #mentalhealth stigma. #stigmawatch #mentalillness

[Patrick Dodson @SenatorDodson]

The Federal Government’s delusion that the CDP program works is astounding.
This morning in a statement the Minister for Indigenous Affairs said CDP was a “resounding success”.
How much more evidence does the Government need that shows CDP is not working?

Mission Australia calls for national plan to eradicate homelessness by 2030. 500,000 social and affordable homes are needed. Join @_EverybodysHome if you agree. #EverybodysHome https://t.co/EvQZtIv8oc via @newcastleherald
