It's past time for the @MarkMcGowanMP govt to support WA's social enterprise sector. Eastern states have seen supported across the political divide, yet we miss a once in a generation opportunity to leverage private capital for public good here #socent 7news.com.au/politics/lnp-pi…

WA is a decade behind the leaders across the States in social enterprise and impact investment. A $5B surplus and 4 years til the next election. Political inertia on setting WA onto an economic diversification leadership course could have inter-generational impact. #WaitAwhile

NSW leading the pack in promoting innovation and investment. Smart stuff. Whether it’s social impact investment models or digital transformation to better serve citizens, much to learn from this State. No harm copying the playbook to stay in the game. afr.com/news/economy/nsw-off…

Scraps in tonight's Federal Budget vs the PM's own Social Impact Investment Taskforce recommendations. Contrast $3m or $6m over 4 years vs $10Billion per annum fossil fuel subsidies. #socent #impinv #socentau
