#NewPost New research by Peter Varela, Robert Breunig and Matthew Smith shows the intergenerational contract has lost its balance. This has serious implications for the future of Australia. austaxpolicy.com/australias-unj…
Demographic changes – an ageing population and delayed parenthood – will mean that care responsibilities increasingly overlap for women. This Women’s Health Week, Pelin Akyol and Rose Khattar call for a rethink of the sandwich generation to recognise the care needs associated…
I see Tom Switzer’s resignation as a step forward toward @CISOZ putting this behind them. All I ever wanted was to be able to do my job and to be compensated appropriately for my role in a collegial, productive, and safe work environment. smh.com.au/national/nsw/t…
I struggle to listen to or watch myself back, but here's my conversation with my colleague Rob Forsyth about my experiences with liberalism as a political ideology and the tensions in a liberal approach to education policy youtu.be/hi2mKvzizys?si… @CISOZ

The Daily Mail today reported on the CIS’s decision to continue to promote Tom Switzer at events despite my reports of sexual harassment. I’ll share with you all the same thing I said to Board Chairman Nicholas Moore in March when we were discussing Tom stepping down because of…
Brilliance is overrated. Persistence is not. You don’t need to be the smartest. Or the most innovative. You just need to get back up, every time you’re knocked down.

Over the past few months, I’ve been struggling to hold the pieces of my life and career together. I couldn’t, in good conscience, sign an NDA and as a result, I’ve lost my job and become the target of retaliation from my employer. I’ve lodged several claims with the Fair Work…
