@AmyRemeikis I made a Simpsons reference to a group of the grads. After I explained the reference it turned out one of them had never seen an episode.

@DrDemography Here's something the ABS prepared earlier https://t.co/skJmmqOc1r

[Shelby Canterford @SCanterford]

@DrDemography I was feeling more like a sitting duck, constantly looking over my shoulder. It got me, but I didn't die so I guess that means I won?

@DrDemography Is anyone else having flashbacks from Terry Gilliam's Brazil?

[Shelby Canterford @SCanterford]

@DrDemography Are people's memories really so short? The pandemic proved that none of that is true. Even now the treasurer is telling people to just find a better job to improve their wages.

@DrDemography @arwon @ABSStats Sorry, I love our ABS, but I can't imagine them actually making policy. They just don't have the on-the-ground skills. Now, embedding ABS staff into interdisciplinary policy teams on the other hand, that might change the world!

Hello all keen #SciScouts! We are pleased to announce that the STEM youth council has taken over this page! Swipe to see our awesome team with a (very stable) geodesic dome made of pool noodles (hint hint wink wink to a possible new SciScouts activity ;) )

@DrDemography @ABCthedrum My mum mentioned she saw you on the drum, out of the blue, no context, and she rarely tells me about things she sees on the telly. Obviously you left an impact on her.

@jamescmcpherson Right now it's 2 hours of exercise and a picnic with up to 5 fully vaxxed adults eating takeaway from your favourite fine dining restaurant. What more do you want?

[Shelby Canterford @SCanterford]

@DrDemography Also, what are the jobs? Very short-term casual fruitpicking or skilled professionals who generally aren't unemployed according to this. I'd like to see the full list. https://t.co/KnRAkZM0M9

@jamescmcpherson Me, starting in 1993.

@jamescmcpherson Just competed with the KID'S lego robotic comp and can verify this is an innate characteristic.

@DrDemography What I don't understand is how it's possible to do it and write a book and have a large family and maintain a media presence and more. I barely manage to do any one of these things at once, let alone build a career.

[Shelby Canterford @SCanterford]

@DrDemography I know that this is hard to practice, but try to remember that those put downs say more about them and their insecurities then it does about you. You are totally kicking goals!

[Shelby Canterford @SCanterford]

@DrDemography @ABSStats Ahhh, but you need to look at arrivals and departures. The high net loss is not because of more people leaving (in fact less left than 2019) but because less people moved TO the capitals than 2019.

@_joshuanewman Pretty sure it's a European wasp so it's not Australian at all but was introduced here. They are aggressive and their sting is extremely painful. Get rid of it.

[Shelby Canterford @SCanterford]

@TooheyMatthew @DrDemography What Matthew said, but I would add the rise of intergenerational inequality. Those who came to the job market at the time of GFC are already behind. Now are children will be hit even harder.

@jamescmcpherson Don't ever introduce her to the Russian hacker. You may not be able to handle the consequences.

[Shelby Canterford @SCanterford]

@jamescmcpherson Said uni has changed its teaching language twice since then. Maybe thrice if they've changed since the mid noughties.

[Shelby Canterford @SCanterford]

@jamescmcpherson Why is she using sweet chilli sauce? Mum's chutney is the way to go!
