The living, breathing definition of ‘totally deluded’ If you were to look up the term ‘totally deluded’ in the dictionary, there would simply be a photo of Jeff Kennett #springst #auspol

Polls open in 90 min. The man has arrived, to re-establish democratic processes within Victoria. Labor has thrown everything they can at Matthew Guy. He has stood the test. He is experienced, an MP for 16 yrs, incl a Minister Guy is the man for a fresh, honest start for Victoria

I remember ‘New Coke’ & at the time we all thought it was the dumbest idea we had ever seen. It subsequently was put in almost every marketing and business textbook there after written We see #Elon at #Twitter now … & know conclusively that all future text books will include …
Recently, I have been asked a lot of questions about the impact of winter on the war in #Ukraine. In some respects, this is pretty ironic; I was born & live on the flattest, dustiest & hottest continent imaginable. That said, a thread on the coming winter war in Ukraine. 1/25 🧵

Because Deliveroo gamed the system and claimed riders were not employees, these workers are left high and dry - no entitlements, no notice, no redundancy pay. It's about time the gig's up
TWU Australia@TWUAus16 Nov 2022
We're seeking urgent consultation for fair compensation to Deliveroo riders after the company's shock exit from Australia at the first indication it can’t rely on exploitation to make profits. It's clearer than ever: we need Fed Govt reform to protect ALL gig workers.

Many commentators say that sales of the @australian means that its influence has declined. Not true. Too many journalists use it to set their daily agenda. The @politicsabc seems incapable of operating without relying on Murdoch employed talking heads. A national disgrace!
