Where’s the village for multiple birth families? There is none so we had to make our own. Other parents of multiples volunteer to drop off meals and hire out breast pumps to newer parents of multiples. Now I think it’s time the Government chipped in. https://t.co/oAD1vzc0lp

Having a baby comes with more surprises and expenses than any parent can prepare for, but for parents of twins or triplets, things get a lot more complicated, so we spoke to Taylah & Sean Glachan, who are expecting quadruplets, to see how they're preparing!

Should the Australian Government consider increasing paid parental leave for parents of multiples? #QandA

Watching @FIFAWWC and the male commentator says of @KatrinaGorry who attempted to tackle the ball that:

“motherhood has not seemed to blunten her instincts”

Would you say this about a male/dad football player? Stop 👏 stereotyping 👏 mothers

A new report by @MultipleBirths
& @percapita shows that 67% of parents of multiples said early childhood education in Australia was not affordable for their family.

Multiples and their families need better support!

@georgiedent @MultipleBirths @Mon4Kooyong @AnikaWells @the_parenthood Thank you for being there @georgiedent! Many late nights after babies were asleep were spent organising this and I was so amazed to see it all come together yesterday 😭

[The Parenthood @the_parenthood]

Today, @georgiedent met with Anne Aly & @silje_ac, director @MultipleBirths.

Silje and her team released a new report, “Multiples Matter: Investigating the Support Needs of Multiple Birth Families” based on research by @percapita.

Allow me to introduce @silje_ac director of @MultipleBirths Last year when her TRIPLETS were 7 months old, she imagined hosting an event at Parliament House to shine a light on the support families with multiples need. Today she did it! #MultiplesMatter

[Silje Andersen-Cooke @silje_ac]

@ReynoldsJDaniel Looks amazing! 🤩

[Silje Andersen-Cooke @silje_ac]

@MWhitbourn Yes exactly, lots of people/small businesses don’t take any action as they can’t afford a court order. Most ppl with defamation claims just want the ability to issue a concerns notice & have the matter resolved with an apology. Shouldn’t tech companies do more to facilitate this?

[Silje Andersen-Cooke @silje_ac]

@MWhitbourn Currently, to take civil action against an anon user for defamation your only option is getting a court order (V expensive). For eg small businesses are affected by false online reviews and if the reviewer is anon, it’s very difficult to do anything. https://t.co/teVtYFccBH

[Silje Andersen-Cooke @silje_ac]

@MWhitbourn You’re conflating two separate issues. The eSafety Office can take action (from Jan 2022) on seriously harmful content regarding an individual (the threshold for this is very high). Whereas, defamation deals with damage to reputation due to untruthful statements/imputations.

"Biologically, your 20s are the best time to conceive & carry a child...but we’ve normalised a culture of women delaying childbirth until their options are more limited, difficult or non-existent."

Great piece by my friend @silje_ac in the @australian! https://t.co/kWb1kNdVm3

[Silje Andersen-Cooke @silje_ac]

There are big upsides to starting a family in your 20s👶

So why does our seemingly progressive culture encourage women to delay having kids until their options are more limited, difficult or nonexistent?🧐

My views on how we need to change this culture👇
