A year+ after the #Robodebt Royal Commission emphasised the importance of putting advice in writing, and
@APS_Commission
head Gordon de Brouwer seems to be defending putting advice on sticky notes...

Great panel @auspsa.bsky.social yesterday discussing AI/ChatGPT in teaching, with Blair Williams, Diane Perche, Rob Manwaring @mussagulova.bsky.social
and Narelle Miragliotta. I’ve written about my experience with this in @ausjpa.bsky.social

Great to present this paper using FOI to explore how/if Aus Gov agencies learnt anything from Robodebt at @auspsa.bsky.social yesterday on a panel with @nicholasbromfi1.bsky.social and Al Stark discussing policy learning and anticipation

Teaching is hard. Particularly in the age of GenAI. But it matters. To improve trust and engagement in universities, we need to focus on the quality of our teaching. As part of my desire to improve my teaching, I've recently finished the @advancehe.bsky.social fellowship program.

Conference season coming up! My 1st paper at
@auspsa.bsky.social (with @pandanuspetter.bsky.social and
@thiagonsilva.bsky.social) will look at who takes the spotlight in #auspol Question Time. Is QT becoming more personalised?

At the my kids’ school Senior Production. Came with a warning about “adult themes”….
Yep, two characters are competing for tenure! Couldn’t get more adult than that!

Can you guess what the show is….

“Accidental” Nazi tattoos. That’s a big difference!

The fascade of the east wing all gone.

I am so tempted to quote tweet you and just write “cosmopolitan elites” over and over.

This is your periodic reminder that you can add coffee stains to your LaTeX documents.

Me, when my favourite articles haven’t been cited by anyone….

That’s me! Come and listen

Almost in tears, waiting...

I put this up at work 10 months ago. I’m looking forward to taking them down on Tuesday. #bringthemhome

Story today about unis relying on Turnitin to detect AI. My research last year (@ausjpa.bsky.social) where students were required to use ChatGPT to produce policy briefs showed that Turnitin produced a lot of false negatives:

With all of this news of AI slop from Deloitte, it’s worth remembering that in this study, even my undergrads could see how poorly AI produced policy advice @ausjpa.bsky.social

This dual framing is really important, because it also reflects how Jews are both white and not-white; promoters of communism and evil bankers.

Hi hive-mind. I'm looking for info on who owns letters sent by public to Aus MPs in their *legislative* capacity (i.e. excluding ministerial capacity)? My understanding is that they own them in their personal capacity? @auspublawblog.bsky.social @jeremygans.bsky.social

As usually AI search results (from Bing) are really awful! I was hoping to attend the first @jawspolisci.bsky.social seminar, so needed to check the time in Australia. Unfortunately Bing was out by 8hrs?? It 1pm Eastern is 3am in Syd/Canberra.

The best bit of this article is that they need to describe an “own goal” to an American audience

With #Robodebt again back in the news with the release of the SBS series #ThePeoplevsRobodebt being released, here is my paper exploring how the broader Aus Public Service engaged in learning and meaning-making after this public admin crisis.

Given all of the attention around Albo and Trump, have a look at this piece of mine on how Aus MPs deal with Trump - and Zoom in and listen to me talk about it in a few weeks time

Do I (still) know anyone from PoliSci with expertise on contemporary Hungarian 🇭🇺 politics? And who wouldn't mind me bugging them with a couple of questions over email?

If we ever meet in person, I will owe you a beverage of your choice :)
