When your nearest market is 4hr away by boat, selling a catch of fish is a challenge. So we teamed up with the village of Gupuna #SolomonIslands, to do something about it. Now, their fish hits markets, lifts incomes and supports their kids' needs. Read more: https://t.co/Pe0XEhei0D with @dfat's #ANCP #AustralianAid
How's this for chilling? "The gambling industry relies on churn - because unfortunately their best customers lose everything." (Academic on @abcmelbourne this morning - missed his name)
Proposed law reform in #Vic looking good. @VicGovAu don't crumble. @ReformGambling
It’s hard to say goodbye to #Fantales, but to your homeland because of conflict/violence? A bit harder, I think.
On Tues, #WorldRefugeeDay, over 90% more people in Aus searched Fantales than they did #refugees*. Take that in. Gets stuck in your teeth, doesn’t it?

Talia saw how we could change the world using #FMNR when in Kenya with her mum, our superstar ambassador @melissadoyle. She told @morningshowon7 'Climate's a pressing issue for my generation. Seeing David’s farm and how green it was in such a dry country was incredible.'
Employers who ripoff workers is more widespread than you might realise. Regulators seem overwhelmed and ineffectual. Govt should do more. #wagetheft#auspol@newscomauHQ@asicmedia

Hello #auspol Twitterverse: Anyone know who are Workplace Relations Minister @Tony_Burke's key advisor(s) on wage theft/dodgy employers? Thanks in advance.
Love Humans of New York? Well, we’ve got special stories from places you've never heard of. From a couple with a Tom Cruise/Renee Zellweger vibe to a woman whose sight was restored through veggies, lives are being changed through @WorldVisionAus and #DFAT. Follow along for more!
@bartman6 Applying a ❤️ to your post is all sorts of wrong. But the piece is spot on. Turn-of-century policy shifts appear to create a generation of young adults more reliant (for longer) on their parents for a step up to self-sufficiency. Which feels a bit oxymoronic to me.
I try to imagine how this war on #Ukraine is for #children who left behind their homes, their mums, dads, their friends and their stuff. (I actually can't) Props to @WorldVisionAus for being there - working hard to deactivate the mental health timebomb.
GRIM ANNIVERSARY: Today marks one year since the outbreak of full-scale war in #Ukraine. World Vision is concerned children face a mental health timebomb. See our media release here: https://t.co/268X83Gdq5
JAVA: World Vision is on the ground in #WestJava assessing the damage and needs, and distributing tarpaulins and masks after a 5.6 magnitude #earthquake devastated homes and buildings in the Cianjur Regency, and claimed more than 160 lives.
At a camp just outside of Doolow, Somalia. #WorldVision food distribution took place yesterday. More than 7 million people – almost half the population – are grappling with extreme hunger. We have to act now – there are ways you can help. @worldvisionaus https://t.co/g5mdLdGWcC
Met Aisha in Qulla #IDP camp displaced due to drought and conflict in Somaliland. Her three young boys are receiving high energy biscuits via @WVSomalia. The stories are heartbreaking with more than 2k people settling here in the past few weeks. We must act now to #fightfamine
This #hungercrisis is real. People right across the Horn of Africa need our help today, not tomorrow. @WorldVisionAus is on the ground joining our frontline staff who are already responding in the worst hunger hotspots such as Somalia, South Sudan and Ethiopia.
In a few weeks, a famine will be declared in Somalia. Soon to follow will likely be Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Sudan and Yemen. Australia cannot wait to get a formal declaration to tell us what we already know.
