I think people and planet matter. And that dogs, tamarillos, ocean swims and potluck dinners make life better. Views are my own.

Late last year, the Federal Government called for submissions on the next Federal Budget.
Social Enterprise Australia brought people across the sector together to build an answer.
Check it out now (and the rest of the submission) on our website: socialenterpriseaustralia.or…

"Social enterprises contribute over $20b to the Australian economy and employ as many people as the mining industry, a new report finds, sparking calls for greater government support." - @ProBonoNews probonoaustralia.com.au/news… #changethegame #switch2good #socialenterprise
12,000 social enterprises | 21 billion economic impact | 200,000 jobs.

Over 60 Australians are dying each day because of COVID (7 day average), the equivalent of a 737 crashing every 3 days. It is very rare for premature death to be happening at this scale. The very least we can do is acknowledge the magnitude of the tragedy & mourn. #COVID19Aus
Barnaby Joyce: Well, people aren’t dying.
Patricia Karvelas: People are dying. People are dying every day.
Barnaby Joyce: Sorry, sorry sorry. Yes, you are correct, I shouldn’t have said that.

Our choice is not #publichealth OR the #economy. We should not "push through" @ScottMorrisonMP. Healthy humans are critical to a healthy economy. As @JimboStanford says: "It is people who are the driving force behind production, distribution & supply." abc.net.au/news/2022-01-12/c…
"There are no good guys in this story." While the detention of #Djokovic "highlights how racist & unforgiving Australia’s immigration laws tend to be... Djokovic isn’t here to point out the racism & injustice of detaining asylum seekers indefinitely."

Horror night shift. 1:11 ratio. Three RNs down and replaced with one AIN. One death. No breaks on a 12 hour shift. No time for a bathroom break. At 3am, one of the patients made all of us a cup of tea and brought it to us on her walker. Brought us all to tears. Best tea ever!

Instead of buying RAT kits in cost-effective bulk & giving them out for free (as everyone wants) our PM @ScottMorrisonMP now proposing awkward low income eligibility criteria for cash handouts. Harvey Norman/Chemist Warehouse/retailers etc still get their cut. Debacle!

I’m sure I’m not the first to be confused that we fund a $600m uneconomic donation for a gas power plant at Kurri Kurri that the market didn’t need or ask for…
Yet we have no money for free rapid tests and “the private market should cater for demand”?

Denmark is a few weeks ahead of Oz in the omicron outbreak. Deaths are on the rise; equivalent to ~100/day in Australia. Their vaccination rates are better than Oz’s; 3rd dose is 42% vs 8%. Creating the impression that it is ok for omicron to spread is a public health threat.
HUGE NEWS! Off the back of big talks with the #socialenterprise sector, the @ausgov has announced trailblazing funding to support #refugee #employment. It's a $24.6m four-year grant program. Game changer! socialchangecentral.com/soci… @SocialChangeAus @ASENAalliance @ImpactBoomOrg
#Nurses are burnt out. "... all 8 state and territory health ministers asked for 'immediate additional Commonwealth funding' ahead of borders reopening... But the government has remained steadfast that it will not be increasing hospital funding." abc.net.au/news/2021-11-19/a… #COVID19

Very concerning changes to ACNC Governance Standard 3 have been disallowed by the Senate - they will not take effect.
They would’ve impacted charities engaging in peaceful protest and had a chilling effect on civic engagement.
A decisive result in the vote - great news! – at Melbourne, Victoria
Great article @SocialChangeAus. Putting "people affected by an issue at the centre of building solutions is crucial... these are the people with the best understanding of what’s needed." I'd add, this also counters broader power structures that entrench privilege & disadvantage.
From a young age, we’re encouraged to idolise the likes of Spiderman and his heroic friends, but in the world of #socialimpact, these #hero narratives run into a problem. Turns out … that’s not the way the world really works buff.ly/3xcgOIE #socialenterprise
