The thing about privilege is that it is often invisible to those who have it. Having privilege doesn't mean you are born rich or that you haven't had to work hard, it just means there are certain things in life that you don't have to think about. When we reveal these hidden privileges, we start to understand how the gaps that exist, in the economic, educational and health outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, are formed. Understanding your privilege is one of the most powerful things you can do as an Ally because once you understand your privilege, you can start putting it to good use to help Close The Gap. ❓Would you like to understand the practical actions you can take to help Close The Gap in Australia? Join Aunty Munya, Kate and myself next Thursday for our Privilege & Closing The Gap Webinar on National Close The Gap Day. 👉🏿 Get your tickets here: https://loom.ly/d0TT6u4

Following my interview with J Mark Dodds FRSA about saving pubs through community ownership, the Communikarma Crowd discussed the value of pubs...in a pub!

From cheering on your team during the World Cup to pubs as potential catalysts for positive change, explore the untapped potential these spaces hold. 🍻 Cheers to Change: Pubs witness life's highs and lows, serving as the beating heart of communities.

Today is WA Day, a celebration of all things wonderful about Western Australia. Amidst the festivities, it’s worth reflecting on some of the unique rules that keep this great state in order. In the grand tapestry of legal rules and regulations, Western Australia has sewn a particularly unique patch. In this special corner of the world that I call home, it's illegal to clean up after seagulls without a proper licence. Yes, under Section 387 of the Criminal Code Act 1913 (WA), if you dare to remove guano without official permission, you might find yourself spending a year-long stint behind bars. So next time you're out enjoying the pristine beaches of WA and feel an urge to tidy up, remember: leave the guano be, or it’s off to the clink with you! Rules, especially in the workplace, need to be current and make sense. Whether it's mandating the use of hardhats when there are no overhead hazards or requiring workers to don gloves when there's no risk that requires them, it's important to ensure that our rules serve a valid purpose. Do you have any rules at your workplace that don’t make sense? Happy WA Day! 🦢💩 #Rules #Regulations

Whilst the topic of addressing the future of modern slavery is no laughing matter, it was extremely positive to engage in forward thinking dialogue between the Fair Supply team, the Australian Government, Walk Free, the IOM and the hundreds of dedicated business who participated in the Fair Supply road show event ´The future of addressing modern slavery’ in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & Perth this past week. If I wrote all the great takeaways, you’ll have an essay to read!! Some key discussion points to advance Australia’s collective response to Modern Slavery included: * Importance of credible risk assessment well beyond tier 1 supply chains * Transparency enhances brand reputation * Imbedding ethical and responsible due diligence in business operations and supply chains is essential for ethical business practices * Why remediation should be the preferred pathway over ´blacklisting’ suppliers with risk of modern slavery * Collaboration with supporting entities is key Trends highlighted that whilst Australia has a strong approach to the addressing Modern Slavery, collaboration between the Australian Government, stakeholders and businesses can only strengthen responsibility to reduce the 49.6 million people in situations of modern slavery in the world today to 0 #WalkFree Global Slavey Index) Yes, I remain optimistic ! Immense thanks to Kim Randle and the #FairSupply team for including IOM in this fabulous & valuable event.
