Do you think a new legal structure or legal status for social enterprises would help the sector to thrive? In New Zealand, social enterprises are operating under different legal structures, and I was always wondering whether a specific legal structure or legal status could help boost the development of the social enterprise sector. When I met Hon Nicola Willis, Minister for the Public Service, Finance, and Social Investment at the 2024 IPANZ Annual Address, I took a chance to ask her that question, but I didn’t give her enough context so her answer was apparently not in focus (My question is from minute 36 here https://lnkd.in/gFn3beqy). #socialenterprise

Join me in 🎉 celebrating NSW Government’s launch of 🚀Test and Buy Innovation – publishing the first set of self-service innovation procurement guidance to help NSW Government buyers use procurement to find, test and buy the most cutting-edge technology solutions to problems communities face in NSW. The supports were launched at the Digital NSW 2024 Showcase on Wednesday, 27 November 2024. 🔗 Read more in the media release at: https://lnkd.in/gP9gNjFT 💡 The guidance supports the NSW Digital Strategy commitment to build world-class digital services that strengthen our communities while supporting economic growth. 💡 It opens more opportunities for small and local businesses by encouraging the use of innovation challenge statements and more flexible procurement pathways. 💡 It promotes agile procurement practices that reduce risk, improve value for money, and open the door for more innovative solutions, creating more opportunities for a diverse range of local suppliers, especially start-ups and scale-ups. As an Executive Sponsor I’ve witnessed firsthand the commitment of Marina Troyak, Kellie Adlam, Sharon Don, Snezana Novakovic & Bridget Johnston and teamwork across the NSW Government portfolios that has gone into making this happen – and I’m confident that we’ll see a 📈 positive change across the public sector with many NSW Government agencies adopting innovation-friendly procurement practices to deliver the best solutions powered by the latest technologies to address community needs across the state, and ultimately create the strong digital sector we’ll need to solve the challenges of the future 🌍.

Prepare for the 3G Network Shutdown – 28 October 2024 The 3G network in Australia will begin shutting down on 28 October 2024, impacting a range of devices still dependent on 3G connectivity. Affected devices include older mobile phones, EFTPOS machines, security systems, IoT equipment used in agriculture, and some medical devices. The shutdown will allow telecommunications providers to improve 4G services and expand 5G coverage, offering faster speeds and more reliable networks. It’s essential to check whether your devices are compatible with 4G or 5G. If your current devices are not supported, an upgrade may be required. Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone are contacting impacted customers, and Telstra provides a tool—text ‘3’ to 3498—to help users confirm their device compatibility. Businesses using 3G-reliant technology should act promptly to avoid disruptions. For detailed information and guidance, visit: https://lnkd.in/gDHfEch4
