@yimbymelbourne The classic Australian way of creating thriving industries out of public system dysfunction while getting peak bodies to hold the problem in place 🙃

[Emma Scott @EmmmKat]

@AvidCommentator This plan makes no sense, what problem is this trying to solve? Banks are only going to approve people who can afford principal and interest after the 5 years, it’s too big a risk otherwise…so wouldn’t we just giving money to people who would be approved/can afford it anyway?

@dieworkwear If the aim is to move away from the volume of fast fashion currently consumed, then wouldn’t it make more sense to impose tariffs on particular products rather than on literally everything? Trying to repackage these tariffs as environmentalism feels like a desperate reach aye

[Emma Scott @EmmmKat]

Eeek we are now @thirdstoryorg! I’ll miss being part of the Innovation Unit team but really great to have a way of talking about our experience and commitment that feels more like ‘us’ in this part of the world 🧡 https://t.co/Mj9RJgk7Ki

[ThirdStory @thirdstoryorg]

@ClareONeilMP Need to compel councils to get out of the way of implementing flex housing policy. The demand is there, your approach will increase supply, but the policy framework of many councils stops everything dead in its tracks. Looking at you, Tweed Shire Council 😑

@MissRed_Roses @tradwife_ai So glad you said this, that was my first thought: what if the parents live a distance from the hospital and logistically can’t visit all the time? I’d have been devastated if someone made this assumption about me when my baby was in special care

[Emma Scott @EmmmKat]

@DevonESawa @EmmaScott @ask_aubry Oh you’re my name twin and my teenage crush twin! I broke my tape player from fast forwarding and rewinding this scene too many times in one sitting 😂

[Emma Scott @EmmmKat]

@purplepingers My local camping ground (on Crown land) do that, they expect the grounds people to be available 24 hours a day for check-ins - all for a free spot on the grounds worth about $30 a day 🥴

[Emma Scott @EmmmKat]

@Tim59148216 @sallyrugg Oh yes because of course it’s an either/or, can’t ever have policies that bring about better outcomes and societal fairness at the same time 😱

@john_macgowan @charles_haig01 Was it Serkan

@DrRLofthouse Northern hemisphere edu-twitter is brutal 😵‍💫 It appears to be a group of mostly men ego-battling about who knows best for young people, while most teachers seem to watch on in amusement knowing from experience that behaviour ideology in practice is rarely an either/or situation

[Emma Scott @EmmmKat]

@JessHealyWalton Hope journos follow this up, given many other contractors work with kids in the public system but haven’t been identified as being a duty of care risk. Not sure how signing a code of conduct reduces risk beyond what’s already in people’s contracts either 😵‍💫

[Emma Scott @EmmmKat]

@JessHealyWalton Did they offer examples of other contexts in which public sector contractors have to sign the VPS code of conduct when they are doing work that is ‘of the system’? E.g do edu consultants to sign it when they are doing work in schools?

[Emma Scott @EmmmKat]

Appreciated this reflection on whether schools are genuinely inclusive for all students and their families

[Tim Linehan @timlinehan]

This is how narratives are made. New research says children who ‘are not school-ready’ are twice as likely to be persistently absent. The author says “School is where children develop & flourish, academically, emotionally, socially, and physically.” 🧵1/16 https://t.co/lIvyVKFBsT

@SB_Duggan @AustralianLabor 100%. Doesn’t give us much hope of ineffective gov systems changing themselves either when the ruling party clings onto a hundred year old rule that is out of step with modern expectations. Norms and rules of the party more important than needs and values of the people 🥴

[Women's Community Shelters @wcs_001]

WCS CEO Annabelle Daniel OAM was quoted on @abcnews about the Law Enforcement Commission Report on police responses to #DFV in NSW, and parallels in some cases with the recent WA murders.

"Weak as piss": that's how robodebt victim Michael Griffin describes the NACC decision not to investigate the scandal. My analysis on another blow in the search for accountability.
