Today we're proud to be Australian parents. Not just because of our government and their policy, but because of our people and their power. Here is Wippa's 2min speech and here is a short 2min film we played - celebrating the parent power that brought this movement to the world stage.

Thank you to the brave parents who advocate for change in the face of grief and loss. Mat and Kelly O'Brien, Robb Evans, Emma Mason, Mia Bannister, Wayne Holdsworth among many others. 

Thank you to voices like Jonathan Haidt, who’s book Anxious Generation empowered Mums and Dads all over the world to believe it just might be possible to put the cat back in the bag.

Thank you to experts like Maggie Dent who validate and encourage with generosity and grace. And Dr Danielle Einstein, whose work powerfully contributed to the evidence base for change.

Thank you to The Heads Up Alliance, who began this good work long ago and played such a pivotal role getting phones out of classrooms. And to Wait Mate, building networks of like-minded, wholehearted parents making change in community and for community.

Thank you to B416 who are breaking new ground in New Zealand and thank you to change.org, who gave us a vehicle for pioneering change through a petition.

Those signatures didn’t just change a law, they’ll change a generation.
