Woooo! Congrats England on back to back Euros. What a start to a Monday morning
That England game was some start to the day. Reckon I’m emotionally done and it’s only 7.45am
The NDIA spends so much resource monitoring media and to use these insights in this way is just awful. It is a scheme with huge administrative burdens and is not uncommon to share insights about how to navigate it. This is absolutely a product of the system and not rorting.
Excellent work by Rick and absolutely shocking practice.
As the Canadian government pushes AI adoption at virtually any cost, this recent report out of Australia comes to mind, where public servants are wary because they’ve seen first hand the consequences of poorly considered AI rollout.
New article from me, Jade Hart, Vanessa McDermott and @k8henne.bsky.social about use of generative AI in policy work theconversation.com/senior-publi...

Just out from me and @annekavanagh.bsky.social - The government wants to contain NDIS growth. But ineligible people with disability also need support theconversation.com/the-governme...
latest NDIS Quarterly report is out, with terrible figures for performance - only 9% of access decisions on time

'Research participants told Sheard that non-native English speakers or those with a disability affecting their speech could find their words not being transcribed correctly, and would then not be rated highly by the recruitment algorithm.'

Finally! Been a rough ride as a city supporter over the last month but we got promoted. Go on the mighty bantams
He’s a very articulate and very sensible fella in my view, which just adds to all of this
And wait til you find out his political positions too!
The Canadian effect is real
I think this is insightful post-election analysis
Rebel went outside and squeaked her toy a lot when Dutton conceded.
Rudie barked a lot at Adam Bandt (but he’s notoriously right wing)
So important polling on how the dogs have felt about the election just in.
I voted early as was going to be away and missed the democracy sausage altogether so making up for it with ‘democracy wine’ this evening 🤣
My first election too! Although I early voted in the masons centre in Cowes (Philip Island) slightly less exciting surrounds
Why do you take things I do seriously? It’s so unreasonable. I should only be held accountable for the things I say I want to be accountable for. Isn’t that how it works?
It was in jest Leena at a Christmas party and someone targeting her private page. She’s clearly the victim of a mud slinging campaign 🙃
Belatedly added ‘throw enough mud and it sticks’ to the bingo card and have had to drink 20x in last 5 mins
Are they messing with the tech to make Antony do one more election?
