Good interview with Adam Bandt on RN Breakfast re why the Greens didn't back the bill on the CFMEU

Sounded like the government could have sat down with the Greens and negotiated something with additional safeguards built in but the government preferred to do a deal with the Liberals

I guess Labor was keen to kill the issue rather than find a way to support the members of one our most powerful unions. Absolutely punish the wrong doing and the leadership but they should be looking after the rank and file members imo

@HardBeingGreen Labor have new masters now, and they're not the rank and file, or the average citizen.

Vote Greens and Indies whenever you can! #BreakTheDuopoly #CapturedGovernment #auspol

@skua that's the one. I was going to toot a link from the ABC Listen App but it doesn't look like that's an option anymore

@HardBeingGreen

The choices of #AppDesigners are often bizarre, the ABCs whole UI design even more so.

I sometimes wonder where they get folk who think up so many fails.
Maybe an ABC IT section head has read The Four Hour Work Week and contracts out the design decisions to underpaid Moroccan coders?

@skua not sure.

It's not an easy gig, especially when you're upgrading something people are used to. The enhancements aren't always visible and obvious

@HardBeingGreen

Maybe that's it.

But the extent of the fails over the years is amazing.
First 3 that come to memory.
Search worse than the old MusicBrainz search.
Linking between ABC radio and ABC TV not hapenning
Displaying out of date articles as Current. (Or was it Latest News?)

Could be under-funding, even deliberate underfunding of web section as part of Liberal's agenda.
