      If education system was different, we'd all be taught about David Unaipon, proud Ngarrindjeri man known as "Australia's Leonardo da Vinci," who is on the $50 note. Aboriginal people would be viewed differently in tech if we knew history. #techinclusionhttps://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/the-point-with-stan-grant/article/2016/02/29/david-unaipon-and-50-note-story-behind-image …

      When migrants first arrive in Australia, we view ourselves through a prism of opportunity. We arrive with a blank canvas, eager to make the most of a new adventure in Australia. #TechInclusion

      Over 1/3 of small businesses in Australia are founded by migrants and refugees. They arrive here with a huge reservoir of skills & knowledge, as they often have to reinvent tech to survive. #techinclusion

      Tim Noonan: disability and voice inclusion in design. Even sites you might think are geared for disabled people are exclusive in use of tech. E.g. Audible is inaccessible (e.g. using visual captcha) or hearing aid companies have inaccessible apps. #TechInclusion

      Tools for software development and testing are inaccessible. E.g. using voice to do coding. On disability & sexual minorities - tech is exclusive. E.g. dating apps are mostly visual. -Tim Noonan. #TechInclusion

      Age IS a big factor in tech start ups. 1/3 of Australians experience age discrimination in the workplace from age 45 onward. Rapid changes since 2008. Age means wealth of experience that didn't exist a few years ago. - @BambiPrice #TechInclusionpic.twitter.com/BaNiQ5lz6J

      .@linaXpatel and Grace O'Hara from @CodeforAus. Core managers in org are migrants. 60 staff; half born outside Aus from non-English-speaking-majority nations. Purposefully seek to hire people with diverse life experiences. Lack of diversity in tech is self-imposed. #techinclusionpic.twitter.com/FPy0KNJVsC

          .@CodeforAus hired three all-women teams. Here's how the did it: don't blame women/ the market; start with your level of influence (from hiring, to policies, to meet-ups); don't be afraid to make (and fix!) mistakes; & share your power. #techinclusionpic.twitter.com/igvyyPw9oE

          Arsehole culture in tech attracts more terrible values. They don't want diversity. They want people who will follow them. - @shaft #techinclusionpic.twitter.com/jEYpdOZzAb

          Leslie Miley: top results for "arsehole" on Google search are all about Silicon Valley culture and founders
          Leslie Miley: excuses given for lack of diversity includes, "we are gender-blind, race-blind, everything-blind" and "I am the least racist/sexist person"

          The language used about tech alludes to equality and optimism. E.g. "democratising the net." But little has changed. Tech entrenches income inequality because tech leaders are largely White men. - @sw & @waynesutton #TechInclusionpic.twitter.com/PMHO8bYtR0
