Two more student investigations have been published in @thecitizenweb, with support from human rights platform @rightnowinc and edited by lecturer @gcmccoll!

Student groups wrote about how extreme weather events and rising sea levels impact Gippsland and Melbourne's bayside. 🚨

Love @JennaPrice recipe for how to bake gender equality into your workplace in @theage. Includes @Raecooper1 suggestion that CEOs become pay equality ambassadors. Bread not tokenism. Delish https://t.co/sdv6Qelha0

And it’s not like our local public schools or Moonee Ponds creek don’t need the funds or activism, hey @PeterKhalilMP @adampulford

[Gina McColl @gcmccoll]

Fantastic, timely @_esther article on why #ourfedsquare battle is not won, and what happened last time we didn’t see the fight for civic space thru (with a hotel gifted the City Square as a forecourt). Festivals, rallies, protests, vigils, speeches - democracy needs public spaces

@metrotrains there are no trains running through platform 4 at flagstaff. Overdue trains just disappear from screen. No announcements

Thanks @withMEAA officials and members! A great honour, but I reckon I got more out of it than I gave. Join your union and get involved cos in the end, the union you take is equal to the union you make. (Or something.) 💪🏼

[MEAA @withMEAA]

Last night at #MelbourneMediaDrinks we presented former #MEAAmedia vice-president and long-time House Committee stalwart at @theage, @gcmccoll Gina McColl, with a gold honour badge for her tireless service to our union. Congratulations Gina! #strongertogether

Congratulations to @nitv, @MadelineHayman and @SylviaJR for outstanding investigation and reporting of the criminalisation of stolen children and its lifelong legacy. Great public broadcasting in action #HRA2018

[ABC Communications @ABCMediaComms]

Is the ABC reducing the audiences and revenues available to other Australian media? Check out the new research https://t.co/AR1xmgTyX3

[Gina McColl @gcmccoll]

Ditto! And chocolate. And weird public friend making experience thanks to terrifying turbulence and kindness of strangers.

Columnist Mark Day in The Oz today: two government inquiries into ABC efficiency and competitive neutrality “could hasten the end of public broadcasting as we have known it for a century.” #ourabc #yourabc https://t.co/NQvyPCGwC5

Margaret Reynolds: there is a strong Parliamentary Friends of the ABC group in Canberra. Ask you local MP if they are a member? And if not, why not? @FriendsoftheABC melb rally #ourabc #yourabc

[Gina McColl @gcmccoll]

Margaret Reynolds: it is our ABC, not the government’s ABC. It is the ABC for all Australians @FriendsoftheABC melb rally #ourabc #yourabc

Fiona Stanley: commercial-free ABC kids content results in healthier kids @FriendsoftheABC melb rally #ourabc #yourabc

Jon Faine: if the ABC has to choose between being liked and being respected, there is no choice to make. That’s why we get complaints - but that’s our job. @FriendsoftheABC melb rally #ourabc #yourabc

[Gina McColl @gcmccoll]

Jon Faine: I resent the fact we have to be at a melb town hall rally to save the ABC. The ABC online, on radio, on TV is essential to democracy, and under current geopolitical pressure, more so than ever @FriendsoftheABC #ourabc #yourabc

[Gina McColl @gcmccoll]

@MagdaSzubanski the ABC is our library of Alexandria. I will not stand by and let it burn. @FriendsoftheABC melb rally #ourabc #yourabc

@MagdaSzubanski me, Mick Molloy, Working Dog, Missy Higgins, Have You Been Paying Attention - so many of us came up through the ABC. @FriendsoftheABC melb rally #ourabc #yourabc
