Some huge news this morning.

GPs will soon be able to diagnose ADHD and resupply ADHD medication.

This means no more paying thousands or waiting months (or even years) to get into specialists.

MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS

It was great to chat to Ivan Cleary & @RoseBJackson as the @PenrithPanthers premiership winning coach & NSW govt team up to tackle the state’s worsening men’s mental health crisis.

$400,000 in grants now available to community groups

@MercJestr This was a post specifically about affordable housing I think so wouldn’t make sense to say public in this context.

Can you DM me your issue and we can see if there anything we can do from our end, I’m happy to try help.

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

mfw someone says ‘oh normally I support affordable housing but…’ 👀

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

@MercJestr I mean it’s the largest investment ever in public housing by a state govt. Yeah it not everything and there’s so much more work to do, but to say I don’t talk about or prioritise public housing is just plain wrong.

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

@MercJestr We are literally building 8400 public homes. I talk about rebuilding our public housing system all the time. What are you even on about??

Our future shouldn’t be dictated by tech billionaires.

Young people constantly share with me how algorithms and social media affect their mental health.

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

@LolsysL I mean at this event, where we heard from hundreds of young people who said social media was having an impact on their mental health.

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

@john_macgowan I stand by my ‘no future dictators’ position (surprisingly controversial!) but surely unpredictable would be better? More exciting!

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

@kayleen87686977 I do recognise this, your son sounds like a wonderful friend. There is good that comes from online connection - finding a tribe, democratizing media, building movements. But the algorithms can genuinely be harmful for kids too. And I welcome (thoughtful) replies you so may!

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

Big win.

The NSW Labor Govt. has just banned no grounds evictions for residential tenancies.

This is huge step forward to make our rental laws fair for the millions of renters in our state.

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

equality bill has passed both houses of NSW Parliament. Today is a good day 🏳️‍🌈

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

@equanimity500 @NSWHealth @ChrisMinnsMP Still open - on track to deliver 20 statewide plus a couple of pop-ups in areas of high need 👍🏻

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

@JohnRuddick2 @peter_tulip Thanks John! I’ve never advocated for rent caps because although they seem attractive at first blush when rents are so high, sadly they don’t work. I’m all for increasing affordable housing supply but the Argentinian total removal of all planning controls seems a bit too far!

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

Different political backgrounds, same political passion: housing.

Good to catch up with New Zealand Housing Minister on our shared determination to make housing more affordable.

NSW Libs take note: action on housing can be bi-partisan 🤝

[Christopher Bishop @cjsbishop]

In Sydney for a couple of days on way back from Paris. Good day of meetings at Infrastructure Australia, School Infrastructure NSW, Health Infrastructure NSW and talking housing/planning reform with @RoseBJackson

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

I joined the ALP in 2003 and the first person I ever campaigned for was Linda Burney. And I have never stopped. She is so warm, so real, so classy.

She has just done so much as a leader in this country and for our state. She deserves every praise that will be heaped upon her as she retires from politics, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. I know she will continue to serve others in some way.

Love you Linda ❤️

[Rose Jackson @RoseBJackson]

@DougCameron51 Thanks Doug! Still a massive way to go - you know that first hand from the People’s Commission on Housing. QLD has been doing heaps on modular housing as well, Labor Govts being determined, creative and leaning into solutions 💪🏻
