In spite of it all...the chaos, the lack of any good leadership most everywhere, the divisiveness , the anxiety , the rising nastiness , this virus - decency & humanity will prevail ; we will get through this , and we will smile at each other again . Yes , we will even laugh .

Great question

[Cat Fay (she/her) @cat_fay]

Question for my philanthropy and NFP folks out there. I've seen a huge number of businesses (small and large) indicate that a % of sales will be donated to fire relief etc. Is there any mechanism for holding these businesses to account on these donations?

So fitting to have farewelled Belinda on #IWDay2019 and ahead of Labour Day. She was a force in every domain.She dedicated her life to fighting for workers’ rights and doing what is right. But above all she was a truly amazing mother; wife and friend.

A young man, anonymous to most, takes on one of the most powerful Catholics in the world. And wins. That’s the headline we need to give our teenagers in the wake of Cardinal George Pell’s conviction. | OPINION https://t.co/RVuFm8EfpE

[Annabel Crabb @annabelcrabb]

The decision of Pell's lawyers to describe his crime as "no more than a plain vanilla sexual penetration case" in extenuation is just shatteringly poor judgment.

Robert #Richter QC's words today are an enormous service to the community. Nobody could read them and not feel revulsion, sadness and anger, profound anger. #Pell #rape #children #abuse #ethics #religion
