Welcome to Kate Mason Official:

I was geared in to action to cover the wider arena of Social Impact Bonds, Social Inclusion- Social Equity- Social Cohesion- Social Emotional Learning- Data Harvesting- Ed Tech- Wellbeing and the government creating the infrastructure, upon reading the recently released Australian government Strengthening Australian Democracy paper. The Strengthening Australian Democracy paper puts Social Impact Investors front and centre as the antidote to fractures in social cohesion. Though Social Impact investing has many focus areas; the Australian government is building the infrastructure to allow for full scale surveillance and data mining on children (from birth- to be pre birth) and their parents. This surveillance is to allow for market INTERVENTIONS on children and families. It’s part of the Wellbeing economy- where “Values are placed before Value”. And we must “Measure What Matters.” Australian Treasurer Chalmers is leading the way for Australia. In my attempt at Strengthening Australian Democracy (actually letting the people know what’s going on is a good first step- free tip to the Australian government), I have put together a video explaining what I understand about the Social Impact market and its implications.

I worked in Welfare for many years, Taschi understands data. Social Impact investments are a model for commodifying interventions in children and adults lives, for investment returns. In our second video on this topic we look at the assumptions that are made about children and adults and the dehumanising aspect of data collection and surveillance. We raise the fundamental question, if human vulnerability is a market for the wealthiest who is going to come out the winner?

SOCIAL IMPACT BONDS EXPLAINED. A conversation between myself as an ex welfare worker and Taschi from Taschi Talks. Did you know that investors are making profit returns off mental health, affordable housing, children's education, loneliness, disability, Aboriginal families and more? Did you know that there are expanding markets $$$$ in this? For those in welfare- you need to be aware of what you will be working within. Please share with anyone you know who works in the welfare field.
