A really good example of why we need government leadership, not voluntary codes designed by and for industry

Our latest research into junk food marketing to kids puts the spotlight on social media platforms. They're allowing junk food marketers to target children, and they have the power to stop it https://t.co/whj4647we5 @gary_sacks @IHT_Deakin @facebook @instagram @google @snapchat

We have joined public health & consumer groups to make a statement that:

Industry-led regulation of unhealthy food & drink advertisements is NOT an adequate solution to protect children from the harmful impacts of unhealthy marketing!

Got anything whiter? And more male?

These five men comprise the powerful Expenditure Review Committee. The ones pulling JobKeeper for (mostly women) childcare educators & spending $$$ getting (mostly men) tradies back to work.

Hi Josh,

We hope you’re well.

Can you please explain to somebody who’s homeless why the Federal Government will pay tradies to renovate bathrooms in existing middle class homes, but not pay tradies to build new public and community housing?

Thanks. 🏡
