Lovely to receive this in the mail yesterday, nice reminder of the significance of STP in the digital transformation of Australian businesses and what a great collaborative effort it has been with #AAT and many others. Thanks @rochelleparkie

Today, we mark an epic milestone, the launch of the Movember Men’s Health Institute. Joined by Mo leaders and Australian Parliament members, this groundbreaking global initiative has been designed to save lives and accelerate progress surrounding men’s health issues. – at Melbourne, Victoria
15 years, 15 Mos, $55K raised for men’s health. Our dads, our uncles, our brothers, our sons, Help me make that $60K soon. Thank you au.movember.com/mospace/1632…

Digital ID is a highlight of the AFR Government Services Summit on today. @AusGovFinance's John Shepherd will also be discussing how we’re making Digital ID real for people, making sure that we’re bringing people along on the journey digitalidentity.gov.au.
Digital ID is a major economy-wide reform so it was great to have the opportunity to talk to the AFR Government Services Summit about the next steps we’re taking like appointing the ACCC as the inaugural regulator.

We all know how we like our eggs in the morning. But what about the eggs between our legs? They deserve attention too.
This Easter, go on a different egg hunt and learn what to do if something doesn't feel right. movember.com/knowthynuts

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has made the decision to realign our social media strategy. We recognise the seriousness of communicating ABS data, and regret that we have strayed from this goal.

Back to the stats again, yo. Eminem's 'Lose yourself' was number one on the charts 20 years ago in 2003, but we reckon losing yourself in the numbers is even better than losing yourself in the music 🎤

It's back to school time! Teachers may get more holidays than some of us, but during school term they’re pulling more hours than the average working Aussie. So thank a hard-working teacher today 🍎
