The Truth-telling and Healing Inquiry QLD is a crucial step toward reconciliation. Acknowledging and addressing past injustices is essential for building a foundation of healing and respect, especially for those of our First Nations people whose stories and experiences have long been silenced and overlooked. Within just days of taking power, the LNP is set to abolish Queensland's first real step towards affirmative action for hearing the voices of First Nations people. We did not come this far, to only come this far. If you agree please sign the petition to save the Truth-telling and Healing Inquiry, together we can create a more inclusive and respectful future for Queensland. https://lnkd.in/gitv6nTG #TruthTelling #HealingInquiry #Queensland

I'm on a panel at this forum next week, to talk about how we deal with the risk of modern slavery in renewable energy supply chains. As the forum will show, this is not a challenge unique to renewable energy, but our industry needs to be part of a solution to this global problem. Looking forward to the discussion.

🚨 A historic step forward in combating modern slavery in Australia 🚨 Congratulations to Chris Evans on his appointment as Australia’s first federal Anti-slavery Commissioner. This is a critical appointment in the ongoing fight against modern slavery in Australia. At JMI, we were proud to partner with the NSW Anti-slavery Commissioner Dr James Cockayne to support the development of the Office’s first Strategic Plan. In 2022-23, we co-convened a series of expert workshops, bringing together policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders to identify key challenges and opportunities for effective action. These insights helped to inform the Strategic Plan, which was launched in June 2023 with over 200 stakeholders coming together to drive the agenda forward. 👉 Read our impact story: https://lnkd.in/gkHhuMdx To continue the conversation and share expert insights, JMI created the Anti-slavery Hub on The Policymaker. The Hub features articles from workshop participants and other leading voices in the field, including Jennifer Burn AM, Måns Carlsson OAM, and Conrad Townson. It’s a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of modern slavery and effective policy interventions to address it. 👉 Explore the hub here: https://lnkd.in/gkF7GY2N We look forward to continuing our work in this area at all levels of government. #ModernSlavery #Collaboration #PolicyChange #NSW #Australia #SocialImpact #ExpertInsights
