Great to listen to @AsiaPacific4D's #NAIDOC Week panel discussion focusing on the contribution & cultural knowledge that #FirstNations Australians bring to international engagement this morning.
The emphasis on connections and cultural competency in development was a highlight.
Great to hear from Professor Tom Calma AO at last night's 2023 @ourANU Reconciliation Lecture!
My key takeaway? The danger of policies that are not "subject to the reality test" of Indigenous Peoples life experiences - now pondering the parallels with our development program...
“I am down but I will get back up. And you can come at me again and I will meet you with the love of my people.” Stan Grant delivers a powerful message on Q+A before taking a break from the media. #StanGrant#QandA#WeStandWithStan
Puffer jacket + gloves + beanie + hot coffee + @devintellab's brand new series of The Readout = a perfect Canberra Saturday morning walk.
A must listen for anyone who, like me, is wondering what to make of the current shifts in Australia's development program.
Sit down with The Lab’s CEO Bridi Rice as she hosts two of the best development thinkers out there, Joanne Choe and James Gilling in a brand new series of The Readout. Episode One is live now.

Eagerly awaiting the new international development policy like The Lab is?
Check out our take on Minister Penny Wong's recent Press Club address and stay tuned for more to come.
Given the imminent release of the new development policy, Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s speech at @PressClubAust today was particularly important.
A short 🧵:
Really enjoyed this read from @terencewoodnz on Temkin's book & the complicated task of translating moral philosophy into real world practice.
Use of moral reasoning to both justify aid as a concept, and guide monetary flows, is becoming more common. Keen to see where this goes
Philosopher Larry Temkin is correct to claim in his new book that if aid undermines development the moral case for donating to NGOs vanishes. But does aid actually do this? Not really. In the second half of my @devpolicy review, I explain: https://t.co/a4YY9U5hkz

@bridirice on the new development strategy - the art of development is imperfect, the new policy will have to make tough choices, and the 4 known challenges of the program must be addressed. Brilliant! @devpolicy@ANUCrawford@Asia_Foundation@devintellab
@terencewoodnz on attitudes to aid - incredibly compelling presentation on public perception of aid that started cynical and ended potentially hopeful? Promise I’ll read the discussion paper (I’ll get back to you on the appendices) @devpolicy@ANUCrawford@Asia_Foundation
