This week is #NRW24, commemorating two significant milestones in Reconciliation, the 1967 Referendum and the High Court Mabo decision of 1992 that recognised the existence of Native Title. #NowMoreThanEver we all have an important role to play in reconciliation. We recognise the inequality and injustices to First Nations People and Communities that persist in this country today. The work on Reconciliation must continue, in treaty making, truth telling, understanding history, in education and in tackling racism. #NowMoreThanEver we need Reconciliation.

Great to speak to EG about the upcoming General Election, its potential impact on UK #RealEstate and what the sector needs the chosen government to focus on.   Whilst there will be a strong focus on delivery of new and affordable housing, any new government needs clarity on how this is deliverable and viable to ensure active development.    With Tri7's focus on the #Student sector, we await to see policy changes with respect to aiding the financial situation of the UK's universities and policy regarding international students, which are crucial to the balance sheet of the universities and subsidisation of domestic students.    #ukrealestate #student #generalelection

This review covers events that occurred between 4 December 2022 and 2 February 2024. The review did not examine the TCF’s general grant administration processes.

Texit is about empowering Texans to reclaim their political, cultural, and economic autonomy. The Texas independence referendum represents an opportunity for citizens to voice their opinions on whether Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation. By participating in this process, we can determine the future trajectory of our state. It's essential to consider the potential impacts on local governance, cultural identity, and economic stability. Let's exercise our right to vote and decide if Texas should chart its own course as an independent entity. #Texit #TexasSovereignty
