Looks like Barnaby’s in trouble again, this time for allegedly entering the space of a female staff member & launching a tirade bcoz she asked him to go through the proper process of submitting a form for a request to take leave. How the Nats put up with this guy is beyond me.

So let me get this straight, Donald Trump has fully forgiven Kevin Rudd, but Sussan Ley and the Coalition have not? 🤣Surely this has to be up there with one of the most stupid and self damaging decisions a political party can make. Wake up Sussan.

Sussan Ley has lashed out at Kevin Rudd saying now that it’s clear that US President Trump doesn’t like him, she wants him immediately sacked.
How about taking Australia’s side for once in your life Sussan? Inexcusable, unelectable. #auspol
Sussan says Kevin Rudd’s position is now “untenable”, because PM Albanese laughed off Trump’s “joke”
What would be a funny joke is if Ley lost her job before Rudd. 🤣
Susan McDonald grilled for “kowtowing” & “capitulating” to Donald Trump after demanding Kevin Rudd be recalled bcoz she says, Trump “doesn’t like” him☹️

Fantastic.
I can't think of two people better suited to each other. 
They'll need a larger meeting room to fit both egos in the door, and they'll need to buy a bigger bar fridge.
And just like the Mark Latham debacle, I give it 12 months.

Yup.
More errors, ‘irrelevant citations’ in Deloitte’s revised AI report Paul Karp NSW political correspondent Oct 14, 2025 – 5.31pm The corrected version of a Deloitte report to the Albanese government reissued by the big consulting firm after it was found to include AI-generated mistakes contains new citation errors and other flaws in referencing the academic work it relies on. Two academics have questioned the relevance of citations of their work in the new report, raising concerns that Deloitte merely substituted out false references to works that don’t exist in favour of real works with no or very limited relevance to welfare compliance, which was the subject of the report.
The republished report also incorrectly cites work by Australian National University’s John Braithwaite by giving the wrong publication year and repeatedly omitting his co-author. Officials from the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, while unhappy about the use of AI and errors in the original report, told a Senate estimates hearing last week the recommendations in the Deloitte report had not changed and would be taken up by the department. Details of errors will further embarrass Deloitte and the department as both parties claimed to have checked the references of the rewritten report. The academics say the new problems call into question the quality of the research used to back up Deloitte’s effort to recommend how to fix IT systems for welfare compliance.
It's still going. The republished Deloitte report into the Targeted Compliance Framework is STILL full of slop references. How long is it going to take the Albanese Government to do something about this?

#ABC Middle East correspondent Matt Doran says Israel has been throwing tear gas at crowds gathering to greet freed Palestinian hostages in Gaza & demanded “they weren't to congregate, they weren't to celebrate the moment those Palestinians were released from Israeli jails”
