System redevelopment disaster? Blame it on the users’ acceptance of *change*.
“We didn’t make the change lightly and we appreciate that it will take time for some to adjust. I sincerely apologise for the challenges the change has caused.” (BoM a/g CEO) #TheSaturdayPaper
That #jimchalmers didn’t start this round table by defining what productivity is is obvious. Privatisation with throwing money with no oversight is probably the biggest problem but that was probably never mentioned.

Saw the below from The Saturday Paper.
And wondered if Abbott was aiming to get Dutton into the PM position when #MalcolmTurnbull was rolled - which would have had Mr Sneaky outsmart Abbott.
Or were Abbott and Mr Sneaky in cahoots, using Dutton as the assassin, always intending to dupe him?

How will Larissa Waters reshape the Greens?
The new leader of the Greens, Larissa Waters, seems nice. She’s certainly well-credentialled, holding degrees in both science and law, the latter with honours. She’s also dedicated to the Greens’ original cause, having worked for almost a decade for the Queensland Environmental Defenders Office before entering federal parliament in 2010.

Is hanson trying to gather votes from joyce supporters, or to tank the nationals?
Pauline Hanson has confirmed she asked former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce last year to join One Nation after he was filmed sprawled on a Canberra footpath late at night.
The disclosure by Hanson follows Nine media reports that Joyce will be dumped from cabinet if the coalition wins the next federal election (SMH).
On Monday, Hanson uploaded a video to Facebook saying the offer to Joyce still stood – “We’re on the same page” – despite him rejecting her earlier offer (Facebook).
Nine newspapers say the Nationals also plan to hide Joyce during the election campaign with a new rule effectively barring him from conducting political trips outside his electorate.
This article is well worth a read. If the coalition have their way they’ll decimate the public service and we’ll be back to wasting money on consultants

“Labor confronts Rinehart-led push to cut public service” | The Saturday Paper
When Bill Shorten took over his sprawling portfolios in government, he saw public servants were “drowning”. “The Quality and Safeguards Commission and Services Australia, morale was in the toilet. They had to go through the trauma of implementing robodebt when a lot of them just knew it was wrong and misfiring,” the minister for government services and the National Disability Insurance Scheme tells The Saturday Paper.
