.⁦ @AustralianLabor⁩’s cracking frontbencher ⁦ @tanya_plibersek⁩ in convo with CBR’s own ⁦ @ALeighMP⁩ ⁦ @CanberraMuse⁩ on #UpturnABetterNormalAfterCOVID19 ⁦ @newsouthpub⁩. #auspol 1/n

#BuildThings #MakeThings #CareForPeople #DecentJobs. Lots of passion for QUALITY govt spending on #JOBS, including better wages for women working in the care sector. @tanya_plibersek (ed.), #UpturnABetterNormal @newsouthpub @CanberraMuse @auspol 2/n

Interesting @tanya_plibersek argument for lighter touch faster turnaround ed testing rather than chucking it altogether. Goes on to defend teachers + say parents got incredible insight into how hard their job is during #COVID19. #UpturnABetterNormal @newsouthpub @CanberraMuse 3/n

#WFH: @ALeighMP cracks a funny about the old saying there’s 3 probs with #WFH: the bed, the TV & the fridge. @tanya_plibersek quips back that we all found our way to the fridge during lockdown! #auspol 4/n

. @Tanya_plibersek canvasses the #COVID19 #PinkRecession, also that surveys show men’s domestic labour in lockdown went up a bit but women’s went up a lot. Also raises the madness during a recession of the #MorrisonGovernment making tertiary education more expensive! #auspol 5/n

Really bright, thoughtful discussion about the massive opportunities for Australia in the #renewableenergy sector that should be taken up right now. @tanya_plibersek frustrated with the “Matt Canavan’s of the world” who set up a false jobs/renewables binary. #auspol 6/n

Why @tanya_plibersek did the book: Inspired by #StuartMacintyre’s book on post-war reconstruction, asked herself, what’s our version of that going to be? And then got cracking. Things that seem impossible AREN’T impossible. #UpturnABetterNormal @newsouthpub #auspol 7/7
