I explore ideas that make a difference and turn society's problems into solutions; corporate citizenry, public good & sustainability. Work in comms & mktg.
On a day Parliament has apologised to women who have suffered from its toxic culture, I applaud @Milliganreports whose โInside the Canberra Bubbleโ @4corners played a huge role in blowing it open. And send a big cheerio to those male reporters who greeted it with such hostility
Truly amazing to be @PressClubAust
with Christine Holgate & hear the epic & powerful speeches by @TamePunk & @BrittHiggins_
In 2021 the collective voice roared for
Safety,Respect & Equity
And it created enduring friendships

Good article on Garnaut's latest book 'Superpower' about his views and policy advice to achieve a low carbon economy in Australia based on 100% renewable energy. #ClimateAction#ClimateEmergency https://t.co/iR2gHcOMva
I got a not so distant but still an arresting view of these fires flying between Brisbane to Sydney yesterday - the woman next to me from Hong Kong asked if they were volcanic eruptions.
Great session at #lasacongress2019 on the importance of the #builtenvironment - good homelike #design for #agedcare (& domestically too) has a profound impact on how we feel, behave, interact and live. Design that includes light, pattern & access to garden, "design for joy".
Good article, "we have lost contact with organisms that served to regulate our immune system and suppress inappropriate inflammation".#powerofgardening https://t.co/ZcBNOrYXhO
Great interview on a definitive international report on #ClimateChange We've got to move beyond the concept that multiple realities are fine when it comes to protecting nature and the planet, #evidence#NoPlanetB#auspol#politas

If you've been watching any of the #agedcareRC this is light relief - this Commissioner has the humour & points on #WomenInSport#abc

Climate change good points on #mindshift needed in policy, media - story quotes from a report, โthe very word โcostsโ to describe decarbonisation expenditures is somewhat misleading, because in a very real sense such expenditures are also investmentsโ https://t.co/DZmjYlTNa7
Time to encourage humanities for humans, to meet the challenges of human society: "Curiosity and empathy, ... Empathy is usually the biggest one. That doesnโt just mean feeling sorry for... an ability to understand the needs and wants of a diverse group of people." (Anders)

The design of the built environment, affordable housing and good public transport - all the difference for a #peoplefriendly#healthyageing space that enables "ageing in place" #sydneyscienceforum
Exercise, sleep, resilience, physical and mental challenges, social connnectedness - lifestyle combos of being a "super ager" #healthyageing#sydneyscienceforum
