Hi @lucysween, just filled out the feedback form on ABC website with a couple of possible clarifications/corrections to the JAL story of yours, sent in the spirit of helpfulness not criticism. Thanks.

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/2023-07-1…

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.

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.”

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. abc.net.au/news/2023-04-0…

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got. My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/redeem/75e5e3d… And some utterly damning charts. 1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

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. #DontDiscountABC

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

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 don’t see how in reporting this story his relationship with his partner is at all relevant. She wasn’t the person who used the slur, or involved in classes. People can use slurs, and have interpersonal relationships with people of colour.

Monash University teaching associate investigated for repeatedly using N-word in class I don’t think it’s particularly relevant to include this line: “Lacey, whose wife is Kenyan…” Does it matter that his wife is black? The issue is the use of a slur. theage.com.au/national/victo…
