More laughter, learning and foster care

March?? More like a run as we count down to our one-off show at the Melbourne International Comedy festival, explain what works for Diversity and Inclusion and meet Danni Teychenne and her challenge to get uni students to actually pay attention (kids these days..)

We’ve also been making noises in the press, on radio and in the world of academia about protests, food waste, retrofitting for bushfires, and how to recruit more foster carers at a time when we need them most.
