Honoured to receive an Outstanding Contribution to Journalism Award from @walkleys for over 30 years of work in the media industry. Congrats to my @SBS colleagues for their #Walkley wins too. Fabulous night recognising & celebrating our achievements in journalism!
@TracyWesterman Inspiring Tracy I did three 20sec planks at the gym this morning which tested me. Even when I was young and fit I could never do pull ups. You have a strong and determined mindset which you carry well in everything you do.
.This book says it all Dr Westerman ‘The Silent National Lie’ ‘That Blackfullas aren’t as good as Whitefellas’. The Referendum result exposed the SNL for what it is. The APS politicians and everyone else need to read this book. We are good enough and in fact we are deadly. #AWAW
The number of predictable tweets about how this should be merit based. The fact not one Indigenous person with a psych degree has EVER sat on the APS board let alone been APS President-yet no alarm bells ringing there. Ppl seem very comfortable with this idea that non Indigenous psychs are so much more talented; plus magically have the critical cultural skills necessary to ensure better uptake of psych services into Aboriginal communities who continue to make up most of the critical psych needs.. we compete everyday with non Indigenous psychs & more than hold our own thanks
@lesstenny There is a bottleneck exiting Sydney international airport narrow access points, no signage, no customer service staff to help elderly, people with children or language barriers. Queues that lead to broken terminals blocking walkways. Confusion everywhere. Embarrassing and sad.
.Deadly you make me want to go back and do postgrad psychology. I still remember the trauma of appealing a fail of 1 mark in ANU undergrad. Two hr negotiation got 1/2 mark on two exam questions. Wouldn’t consider lab report. Took me seven years and two kids to finish my degree.
There’s always hope.
