I love my Bay. Toondah should not go ahead.

The destructive impacts of luxury penthouses on Toondah Harbour wetlands would stretch beyond the mudflats on the shoreline.💔

@MarkBaileyMP: "The increase [in road deaths] is caused by more people driving after the pandemic, driver behaviour and an uptake in SUVs." Why do people need bull bars in the city?! #Regulate for #safety. #roads #cycling #pedestrianshaverightstoo #auspol

When will our #government come clean about the #crisis ahead for #Australia #security #environment and #society from #climatechange? Alarming that findings are so dire they can't be released. In parallel @AlboMP @AustralianLabor approve new coal mines.

'I have never seen being a woman as being a barrier to being a #CEO. I work in male dominant industries & it can be an advantage, I disarm them.' Well said Elizabeth ICI Cooks. Talking down old fashioned views. 'You go get it' ♀️ young #professionals #water @WaterPartnersAU

'I don't see any female CEOs. What do you plan to do about it?' Pohnpei #Utilities Corporation ♀️ Young Water Prof question to #CEO panel. @WaterPartnersAU
Kembo says prepping the Board & Senate to accept a #woman is a long process, but he has started in #Chuuk #FSM #leadership

1/14. The ratio of females: males in Water and Wastewater Utility #CEO panel session. This doesn't represent womens' potential in #leadership, but more about #cultural norms, #unconscious bias, limited role modelling and a limited pipeline of potential leaders. #Pacific #SDG6
