It is happening whether you agree. Or not.
It is happening whether you get it. Or not.
It is changing whether you have the capacity to learn. For Life. Or not
It is happening whether you are stuck with last centuries “qualifications”. Or not.

It’s no accident that foreign streaming services do little to promote Australian music and podcasts to Australians…and it’s no accident that our governments have chosen not to do more to fix it. Local content matters more in the digital age than ever

Why your Spotify Wrapped probably doesn’t have any new Australian music on it
If you don't have Australian artists on your Spotify Wrapped, you're not alone - it's the result of a structural, not individual, problem.

Australia’s social media ban for children may feel like action, but it won’t stop harm online. Poorly targeted, hard to enforce, and politically symbolic, it risks failing the kids it claims to protect, writes @waterfordjack #SocialMedia #ChildSafety #DigitalPolicy #Australia #Regulation #Politics
Why our government protects gambling apps but bans TikTok
Australia’s social media restrictions on children were sold as decisive action on harm. But the policy risks becoming symbolic, unenforceable, and ultimately counterproductive.

Very disappointing the Albanese Govt has refused to accept the full suite of recommendations from the Briggs Review designed to stop the jobs for mates culture in federal politics.

No surprise there is such low trust in politicians!

Communities constantly call for more integrity but are ignored.

I've worked hard with all non-govt senators to secure release of the Briggs review.

Now it's clear why the Albanese Govt was hiding it for two years.

They are refusing to implement recommendations designed to ensure we have merit-based appointments 🤯
