5 years on and the need to use the lessons from the pandemic to build better future emergency responses remains. Thank you to Elena Campbell & the RMIT Centre for Innovative Justice for inviting me to explore these issues at last week's panel on "Justice & COVID: Five Years On".

The first 1,000 days of a child's life is a critical opportunity to lay the foundations for flourishing. Hearing Bernadette Black AM outline her vision for the SEED Futures National Primary Preventative Framework at Sydney Policy Lab was an inspiring reminder of what is possible.

"A social media ban will lead to more problems than it solves." This Explainer published by the QUT Digital Media Research Centre does a great job of demystifying Australia's teen social media ban, which is due to take effect later this year 👇 research.qut.edu.au/dmrc/wp-conten…

Honoured to deliver the opening keynote - 'Leading with Humanity in a Changing World' - at the Australian Women's Leadership Symposium last week in Sydney. We talked real leadership: less perfection, more humanity. Less about never failing, more about how we respond when we do.

A privilege to be part of the Robert Menzies Institute Policy Dialogue on Democracy at Queen's College, contributing to the session on "Protection & Censorship of Free Speech". Free speech isn't a threat to democracy - it's what sustains it.
