Interested in how Aust governments plan to meet their net zero targets? We are.
There are currently 380 ASX listed company fossil fuel projects in the pipeline.
To find out more - read the @PWYPAustralia Fossil Fuel Footprint Report 'Out of the Shadows'. #Auspol2023

Has been great to launch "Out of the Shadows - Australia's Fossil Fuel Footprint" at #APClimateWeek ahead of COP28. There can be no new fossil fuels if Australia has any hope of meeting net zero targets. Read the full report here pwyp.org.au/publications/out…

A very sobering read about workers rights abuses in developing tech and AI. @ChenaultKen says this is not just a 'technology issue', public and private sector need to collaborate on guides. Everyone will need to be literate in AI. If Tech doesn't value workers now, what's next?

Can't quite believe I'm writing this: Today, 150 African workers behind ChatGPT, TikTok and Facebook voted to unionize at a landmark meeting in Nairobi.
These AI workers are invisible, underpaid, and the backbone of the tech in all our pockets:

Why do we need to know who owns and controls companies? It's important for good governance and due diligence. Great to hear the progress @OpenOwnership are making from @_LouiseRP @opengovpart . #Auspol2023 Let's make Australia's beneficial ownership register great. ✨

Well done #Canada for introducing legislation to create a free open publicly accessible beneficial ownership register. @Treasury_AU @JEChalmers Great inspiration for Australia's efforts. Looking forward to more consultation about the design for Australia's register.

Looking forward to diving into the #opendata and seeing how it progresses!

Systems with integrity need whistleblowers. We need to provide them with protection and remedies - not further harm. Australia's Federal Roadmap from @TIAustralia @ajbrownAus @humanrightsHRLC explains how. Proud to be part of designing this report and contributing graphics.

The Gov announced reform will start within days, with some “priority amendments” and possibly more reform to follow.
But how and why?
Our new research presents a clear roadmap for getting these reforms right.
Have a look:

Excellent article by @ajbrownAus about why our laws need to change to protect whistleblowers and make sure the National Anti-corruption Commission can do its job. Our graphic below from the report shows how Aust compares. #auspol

Great news @ALeighMP! It's been years since this first became an #opengovernment commitment. Keen to contribute to make Australia a leader in transparency and making a great public, freely accessible public register.

Last year, Transparency International said that under the Coalition ‘Australia has become a go-to destination for dirty money’.
Today, we begin consulting on a beneficial ownership register, to stop dirty money & tax dodging.
