Reclink means so much to so many. @JonHealy signed up two days before the 2018 Canberra game, as a bit of a laugh and a way to make friends in a new city. Five years on, back in Bris and it's the highlight of the social calendar. Gorgeous read @KylePollard abc.net.au/news/2023-07-16/r…

i don’t know another person as wholeheartedly dedicated to Australian arts, another editor as rigorous and talented, or another arts writer as thorough, thoughtful and passionate. this is a huge loss to the abc. and a huge gain to whoever pounces.

India will soon be the biggest country in the world. But these statistics aren’t just numbers — this beautiful piece paints the picture of how population control policies will impact daily life for decades to come.

My favourite photo has to be this snap of a family who shared their story with @AvaniDias and @patidarsom. Komal says the decisions of India’s government today will determine her kids’ future. “My children’s future will be good … we will always hope for the best.”

A little late but…
I was a casual for three years and had to apply for work with another team to finally get ongoing employment. From Jan 2019-Jan 2022 I never took a week off and worked even when I was sick. The ABC needs to do better.

I love my job, and so do the hundreds of brilliant journalists, producers, editors, designers, developers co that I've worked with at the ABC. But too many have been overworked, underpaid and blocked from meaningful career (and pay) progression #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA 1/5

I'm lucky - I'm permanent now, but so many have had it far worse. I'm thinking of our regional journos, and culturally and linguistically diverse colleagues whose pay gap has not yet been explored 4/5

Went down some real rabbitholes with @luciastein_ on this one about Patriarch Kirill, the disappearing gold watch and the latest schism inside the Orthodox Church. Thanks @C_Stroop for your insights! abc.net.au/news/2023-01-22/m…
