2021/08/09

Tuesday 10th August is officially Census Day 2021, but have you ever wondered what the point of it is, especially as the Government has decided not to ask about sexuality even though LGBTIQ+ advocates have said loud and clear that they want to be counted? And last time we did this, it resulted in #CensusFail2016 when the website crashed and had to be taken down for 40 hours, so will this census be any better?

The Quicky ·

2021/08/08

At the start of the pandemic in 2020, there was very little concern for the impacts of the virus on children, as we were repeatedly told that they rarely caught the disease, or suffered any serious health consequences.

It's World Breastfeeding Week and this year's theme is 'Protect Breastfeeding: A Shared Responsibility', but what does that look like in 2021?

Most of us have seen some major changes in the way we work over the past 18 months, but could working from home be just the start of a major work revolution?

Last week, Australia successfully lobbied enough countries to prevent UNESCO from labelling the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef as 'in danger'.
