It was the greatest privilege to speak at the launch of the Working Women's Centre NSW.
Many of the speeches focused on the silencing effects of non-disclosure agreements.
Men are also suing victim-survivors of sexual assault for defamation, a trend known as SLAPPs.
Our silence is not for sale.

The thunder, lightning, hail, rain, wild winds and snow didn't stop us!
More than 20 leaders have conquered the highest summit on the mainland, raising almost $40,000 for UN Women.
But really, climbing Mt Kosciuszko was nothing compared with the challenges facing women every day around the world.

Now THIS is a terrific idea! No more low ceilings in cramped conference rooms. This recent event, HR FutureFest, was held outside.
The themes were centred on AI, workplace wellbeing, and DE&I.
It was my great honour to emcee just one of the stages at this enormous event.

Been doing some hiking in Chongqing, China - the cyberpunk city.
Quite wet and mossy. Glad I stayed upright. No wonder it’s so green! 😅

It was an immense privilege to emcee the ADM Women in Defence Awards in Canberra this year.
To see so many women forging forward in this traditionally male-dominated area was incredibly uplifting.
There was much discussion about the regressive moves in the US to wind back DE&I initiatives.

OK. It’s time to ‘spill the tea’, as our kidults say.
I’ve been invited by UN Women to attend the 70th annual Commission on the Status of Women in New York City in March next year.
I cannot think of a more important time for us to gather to talk about how far we’ve come, and how far we have to go.

We watched this extraordinary documentary at an event last night, supported by ActionAid.
Created by a Palestinian-Israeli collective, it's compelling, moving and utterly harrowing: a deserving winner of the best documentary feature film at the Academy Awards.
You can watch it on Apple TV.

What an exceptional, courageous and transformative initiative!
The brainchild of Brisbane Boys' College, ‘PROMPTED' empowered Year 12 students to explore and question how AI is affecting their lives.
There were so many thought-provoking conversations about AI ethics, bias and jobs of the future.

Tonight, we had the great joy and privilege of gathering for the launch of Nature's Last Dance, by my wonderful protégé Natalie Kyriacou.
Frankly, it's the most important environmental book of our times: deeply researched, wildly entertaining, and hilariously funny.

At the Rose Scott Women Writers Festival, we discussed the thorny issue of breach of copyright to train AI models.
It was an extremely timely conversation, now that the Productivity Commission is floating the idea of watering down Australia's robust laws.
Aaaarrrrggghhhhh!

OpenAI was founded to benefit humanity.
As the organisation restructures, we need reassurance about whether that mission will survive.
That's why I'm standing alongside the likes of Geoffrey Hinton and Sir Stephen Fry, asking for transparency.

The Spoon Theory is one of the best ways to understand and explain chronic illness.
Several of our loved ones have recently been diagnosed with Long COVID, dysautonomia or ME/CFS.
There is more research, but still no cures. Our hearts are breaking.

Full nerd disclosure: I love a conference.
Why? Because you learn about fascinating stuff.
Have you heard of Ebbinghaus's Forgetting Curve? Within a week, people tend to forget 90% of new information. Gah!
Here we are trying to remember everything from the TMEC conference in Devonport this week.
