We've have had a successful visit to Manufahi Municipality for a special story. Maun Ernesto, who has a physical disability, is a successful businessman and father and respected member of his community. The RHTO and PHD teams look forward to sharing his story with you soon.

There's not being a fan of the Royals (an understandable position), then there's actively celebrating the death of an elderly woman. The second one makes you a very unsavoury person. She was an icon. Undeniably. And as someone who isn’t a royalist, I for one will mourn her loss.

I think I can take a little blame for Gerry’s comments today. I stand by the comment. Decency is a factor in spending decisions, for some at least. #HarveyNorman #JobsSummit

I think the decent thing to do would be for Harvey Norman to turn every store into a mass vaccination clinic AND give every jab recipient a $100 gift voucher until it has reached the total it ripped off from #jobkeeper. Yes?

Here’s a prediction - if

doesn’t address its algorithm that is suddenly promoting the utterly banal such that it feels like scrolling TikTok, it is doomed. It was once a SM oasis for career content. But no more.

Thanks

for asking about my favourite moment to celebrate #75yearsofAusInd. The 2017 #WINS workshop coincided with the CG Queen’s Baton Relay. More than thirty alumni from India are now part of the

program, many of them dear friends.

Human nature and social media as the medium for cultural conversation reduce us all to quips, idolatry, hot takes, take downs and write offs. Shane Warne - and every one of us - is so much more than that.

Naturally gifted, and hard working. Sharp-witted, and tone deaf. Loyal, and flippant. A grandstander, and humble. The greatest of all time, and the boy next door.

No one is good. No one is bad. No one is great. No one is pathetic. He was clearly loud - and insecure. A gregarious performer- and painfully self aware. Generous, and mean. Intelligent, and clueless. A larrikin, and deadly serious. Driven, and lazy.

Thread: I’ve held off saying anything about #ShaneWarne because I didn’t know him and I wanted to listen and learn from those who did. But now he is laid to rest, I wanted to share this thought; his life and death exemplify how complex people and our perceptions of them are.
