"In relation to COVID, particularly for my generation, I'm a millennial, but also the generation that comes after me,
wealth inequality is something that has been increasing well prior to the pandemic. - Jan Fran

"Regardless of where you sit on the political spectrum, these are real, tangible and will affect an entire generation - if not two - of people, right?" - Jan Fran
#TheDrum (4/6)
"That's the real question: How well are we doing in regards to how well we could be doing, and how well we know that we could be doing?

In many ways the pandemic has - not really created these issues, but is at risk of exacerbating them." - Jan Fran #TheDrum (5/6)
"Ultimately it will be my generation and the generation after mine that will have to be paying for them." - Jan Fran
#TheDrum (6/6)

THREAD: GP Preeya Alexander says Facebook hasn't done enough to correct misinformation on its platforms - especially in a public health emergency.

"As a doctor, it is frightening the amount of misinformation that is allowed to go on these platforms."

#TheDrum (1/4)
"I do see it as imminent harm because there is a lot of people with really large following bases who can spread a lot of lot of dangerous misinformation.

I've read this oversight board's decision. It's really transparent. I really like that about it." #TheDrum (2/4)
"But I like the recommendations also. One of them was Facebook needs to define health misinformation better for consumers. I think that's really important.

I report loads of stuff on Instagram and nothing gets done." #TheDrum (3/4)

“I have been fighting fires since 1972. There's been nothing like this before. We've lost nearly three times as many homes in New South Wales as the worst previous year in 2013 and we're not even really into summer.” Greg Mullin #TheDrum
“It's the most disgusting, catastrophic fire I've ever been involved with. When you're stopped in the shopping centre by a couple that has lost everything, you soon find out you need to cry on their shoulder as much as they do on yours.” David West #TheDrum #bushfiresNSW
“Unfortunately, I am one of 680-odd people and families that everything has changed a lot for. We're just processing what's happened at the moment. That's all that you can do.” Kim McDonald lost her home in fires #bushfiresNSW #TheDrum
