We released our work & family policy roundtable benchmarks today. It’s clear that care workers need a pay rise, better care ratios and our elders deserve better. Governments should act on these urgent matters. See our research informed recommendations here 👇🏽 #AusPol2022 @abc730

1/ The pictures from Bucha, Kyiv oblast confirm reams of eyewitness reports. Unfortunately, we're hearing almost identical descriptions from dozens of places under Russian occupation or seige.

Kharkiv was the first capital of Soviet Ukraine. Ukrainian writers and artists flocked there during Lenin's Ukrainianization policy. But many were later executed by Stalin.

Kharkiv's current literary crowd feel like history is repeating itself.

One big thing government can do to support gender equity in 2022, is support a decent increase in the minimum wage through Fair Work. Min wage has a profound impact on women’s wages and spending power. @RadioNational

Victoria was one of the bravest and best journalists I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Please share this, write to your elected representatives, push them to pressure Russia - release Victoria!

I interviewed people from 3 villages in Kyiv region. Russian forces behaved +/- similarly in each case. In Andriivka, they executed at least 2 civilians, shelled houses on the main street, then they went house to house confiscating phones and laptops.

Many in Mariupol are starving & comms are cut off 'one brave tenant went door to door collecting phone numbers of neighbours’ relatives. He would then roam in search of reception and call each number on the list'

Ukrainian journalists need PPE and other equipment. @zaborona_media an independent Ukr media org has started a funding campaign. Foreign pubs have headspace and resources, Ukr pubs are dealing with everything all at once.

My piece on Ukraine's 'Dad's Army' of volunteers - too old to fight but want to do their bit. They've been so enthuastic in setting up checkpoints that the Ukrainian government says they're causing traffic jams up and down the country @1843mag
