@AusConservation @tanya_plibersek Save #MoretonBay

The destructive impacts of luxury penthouses on Toondah Harbour wetlands would stretch beyond the mudflats on the shoreline.💔 #savetoondah #auspol @tanya_plibersek

I love my Bay. Toondah should not go ahead.

@MarkBaileyMP: "The increase [in road deaths] is caused by more people driving after the pandemic, driver behaviour and an uptake in SUVs." Why do people need bull bars in the city?! #Regulate for #safety. #roads #cycling #pedestrianshaverightstoo #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

'I have never seen being a woman as being a barrier to being a #CEO. I work in male dominant industries & it can be an advantage, I disarm them.' Well said Elizabeth ICI Cooks. Talking down old fashioned views. 'You go get it' ♀️ young #professionals #water @WaterPartnersAU

'I don't see any female CEOs. What do you plan to do about it?' Pohnpei #Utilities Corporation ♀️ Young Water Prof question to #CEO panel. @WaterPartnersAU Kembo says prepping the Board & Senate to accept a #woman is a long process, but he has started in #Chuuk #FSM #leadership

1/14. The ratio of females: males in Water and Wastewater Utility #CEO panel session. This doesn't represent womens' potential in #leadership, but more about #cultural norms, #unconscious bias, limited role modelling and a limited pipeline of potential leaders. #Pacific #SDG6

Heartening to see @dfat and @ADBWater commitment to assisting #Pacific #Water Ministers to assist ensuring #climate #resilient #WASH services

Biggest challenges as a CEO are politics and keeping the public informed. Kembo Mida, CEO Chuuk Public Utility Corporation #Pacific #Islands #FSM #water #energy #sanitation @ADBWater supported PWWA conference
