A sad irony here. A court has heard the man who allegedly drove his vehicle into MP Helen Haines suffers from Idiopathic transverse myelitis, a neurological disorder, and concussion. Recently, Dr Haines called for a neurological nursing workforce and national action plan for such conditions.

Just look at this stage! It was a joy to emcee the Australian Manufacturing Awards. The main message of the night is that we need manufacturing here, more than ever before. Sovereign capability! It was heartening to meet so many women in the sector, with the number growing each year.

Maggie Dent's books about parenting are second-to-none. Digital Freedom is outstanding, full of robust research, wisdom, and shades of grey that are often absent from this genre. Heartfelt thanks to these authors for helping families and kids. (And thanks for the mention of Man-Made!)

I'm terrible with money, brought up when girls were discouraged from such talk. This formed part of The Good Girl Stripped Bare, which came out 9 years ago. Entrepreneur Caitlin Judd says she was inspired to write Good Girl Goodbye, urging financial independence at a time of growing homelessness.

The contrast is stark. In the US, there's an (almost) all-male gathering of tech titans, deciding AI’s future. They agree to ‘self-regulate’. 🤯 Once again, corporate greed trumps human needs. This coincides with Women in AI Day! Enjoy my thoughts in this video. www.linkedin.com/posts/carrie...

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

A Clayton's apology. As for this statement...*bangshead* "I've always advocated, we are Australians all together and should be all treated equally on a needs basis, not about race. And until we actually do that, we're not going to move over what's happened in the past." #auspol

The Family Co. has been supporting women, young people and families for almost 40 years. But this was their first fundraising ball! We ended up raising tens of thousands of dollars for safe phones, counselling, school uniforms, rental bonds, and removal services for women leaving domestic violence.
