In 2006, it was almost unimaginable that mainstream Australian businesses would spend $2bn in goods and services with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-owned businesses & employ ~64,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people #reconciliation https://t.co/r2OakweLM7

This sort of heightened employee contribution “is the future of corporate responsibility… (and) a barometer of the authenticity of a company's climate pledges" #CSR #AECJ

The Paddington bear account is one of my favourite accounts.

Everyone is different but that means, with a little bit of respect, anyone can fit in.

It's a simple heuristic but its easy to remember and interesting to read about! #scienceoflearning https://t.co/BpTbhh9voH

The essay found that traditionally, emergency #volunteer roles were dominated by able-bodied, Anglo-Celtic, hetrosexual men, with little representation from Indigenous, culturally diverse or LGBTI groups.

In some ways, going remote can be as beneficial as it might feel limiting when it comes to mentoring. I loved virtual mentoring during the pandemic, great article in the @WSJ about how students can navigate this #mentoring

Do children have wealth cues? At what age do children understand social status? *Incredibly* interesting research exploring how children determine their own socieconomic status and how that changes with age #cognitivedevelopment

[Rebecca Peretz-Lange @PeretzLange]

How do kids figure out their families’ socioeconomic status? We find out in this ~new paper~ with Tess Harvey & Peter Blake! Details in 🧵

150 years of resistance led to the first Day of Mourning in 1938. It formed the basis for First Nations political movements that still exist today.

What a privilege to hear Aunty Munya & Carla Rogers from @evolves_com speak about why we should #ChangeTheDate. My workplace allows me to continue working on Jan 26th, I'll take my public holiday another day and will be donating my wage to @IndigenousLF #InvasionDay #SurvivalDay

#BREAKING: The Biloela family has won their case in the Federal Circuit Court after it ruled Immigration Minister Alex Hawke’s decision to prevent three members of the family from applying for further bridging visas was procedurally unfair. @SBSNews https://t.co/ged8oiloJK

I thought this was satire. Turns out it wasn't.

Scott Morrison says national cabinet has agreed to "proceed no further" with the idea of 16 year old forklift drivers.

[Erandhi Mendis @emendis1]

@EmmaCleary_1 @FiveThirtyEight Absolutely! I've definitely seen a bit of discussion more recently on this post the @wef gender gap report last year. Something that might interest you - cursory data collection/discussion on temporary menstrual cycle changes post vax https://t.co/ZbXLlY12QN

[Erandhi Mendis @emendis1]

If you're talking about reproductive rights you must also be talking about economic inequality. Really good piece w data visualisation on #RoeVWade by @FiveThirtyEight https://t.co/JU2sHlIFSE

"Social enterprises are effective partners in achieving environmental and social impact, but corporations can do more to ensure success. The upside of flexibility in procurement is an acceleration of progress in #ESG metrics." #socialenterprise

Something to think about as the news cycle moves on. Global media seemed to only take note of our draconian #refugee treatment when a certain tennis player was locked up beside them. #auspol https://t.co/CCI1RILImp

Somewhere between waking up at 5am to line up for a PCR, all the Novak discourse, our local supermarket shelves being bare, every shop on the main street closing because truly everyone has covid but nobody has any RATs...somewhere along the way I started playing wordle #2022

[Erandhi Mendis @emendis1]

Boosted 🚀💉🎉 If you're in Melbourne and don't want to line up at the exhibition building (despite the glorious weather), the Healthsmart pharmacies in Fitzroy and the Parkville health precinct both have bookings this week https://t.co/Gd6OOHUWZu #covidvic
