Retail fund not industry so I'm not really sure how much is greenwashing and how much is genuine but may as well try hey?

I did a bit of research and they seem about as transparent and on the level as you're gonna get, plus they genuinely have good returns (I've had shares in their index fund for years and it's easily my best performing stock). But they way I figure it is, any fund whatsoever which styles itself "ethical" is probably going to be more ethical than your run of the mill fund.

This is by an anonymous doctor, it's a pretty good article about the western sydney situation, it mostly hits the points everyone has been saying for a month that financial assistance is needed and better multicultural communication. https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw-is-almost-certainly-on-the-precipice-of-a-massive-deterioration-20210809-p58h9w.html quote:As an experienced respiratory physician at a major western Sydney hospital, I am gravely concerned about the NSW government’s ineffective response to the Delta outbreak. As it has overseas, the pandemic is disproportionately affecting low-income migrant populations with insecure jobs.

I can recommend Active Super (formerly Local Government Super) - they seem pretty ethical as well as being a industry fund. + really good levels of returns over the last 5 - 10 years.

Good piece otherwise but:quote:No responsible individual has ever advocated for COVID elimination to be pursued indefinitely. However, it is critical until herd immunity is achieved. First is a matter of opinion, second isn't going to happen with the current vaccines no matter how many people we jab, because they don't confer sterilising immunity.

Interesting summary, reminds me of the language challenges that Melbourne had in a few communities. 1. Impose strict measures that are simple to follow so there's no wiggle room for noncompliance. At the point that Sydney is in, messaging should be about the only things you CAN do, as opposed to the things you can't (which as humans we're worse at making sense of) 2. Reach out to your community leaders and get that poo poo translated so people hear the message correctly from people they trust 3. Quit victim blaming in your daily press conferences - I wonder why people are presenting late in their infection cycle when they're being shamed on a daily basis for doing the wrong thing 4. Throw money at the problem to ensure lockdowns are adhered to - individuals need to know that the incentive to stay home is more powerful than heading out to earn money This is a daily exercise in simultaneously sticking your head in the sand and throwing your hands up in the air and so frustrating to watch.

Given how Gladys has a huge target painted on her back, and is seen as the reason behind NSW's many gently caress ups wrt lockdowns. Is there anyone in the state Liberal party willing to take advantage of her poor popularity, and worse performance to cause a spill? I mean it would be a bit of a poison chalise right now, but seeing how badly she has performed, and I would imagine how far her popularity has sunk, maybe she gets spilled by the next election?

I know it was on 7:30 last night, but I'm really surprised we're not seeing more about the Brian Houston BFF with Scomo story. I know Covid is top of mind, but it seems like a much bigger deal than it's getting credit for in the media. Also, it makes me detest Scomo that little bit more, which I honestly thought wasn't possible.
