I propose "Angus Failer and Jane Exhume".

"Fighting against a hopeless agenda of hate and stupidity" is an insult now?

I would have thought Canavan would support her alleged gaslighting - I mean, that uses a fossil fuel!

Who = Whoa.

The actual story it links to has this brilliant quote from Angus:
'"We can't mince with words," he told reporters in Parliament House after handing in his resignation.'

He's right. You need to mince with a knife, food processor, or meat grinder.

Fantastic. Nice work Angus.

Who today's ABC News AM email image alt text is really outdoing itself - like they took offence at me pointing out they didn't know who Sussan & Angus were yesterday. Everyone has a name and label - not necessarily the right one. Although I guess they could have pulled this from the 2016 archive.

How quickly they forget

Still taking....fish?

ABC New AM alt text, I refuse to believe an AI would make this mistake, this is very human - will if I'm human that is.

Where are New Zealand 😆

Fittingly there’s a Russian saying “it’s easier to turn an aquarium into fish soup than turn fish soup into an aquarium”.

There's a typo there - should be "bored of peace".

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Good to see the Israeli President’s non-political goodwill tour conclude with him telling protestors to go stand outside the Iranian embassy. He’ll be leaving us with so much unity and social cohesion we’ll all need a good lie down.

I'd argue he's a bit shit at it, but is adept at getting staffers to take the fall for him.

Screen shot of the first page of the overview report: Respondents: 11,477 Universities represented: 42 Universities with over 100 respondents: 36 Professional staff: 5 112 Academic staff: 6 138 69% Psychosocial Safety Climate (PSC) disagreed that ‘Senior management considers employee psychological health to be as important as productivity.’ 82% Emotional Exhaustion of participants ranked high or very high in emotional exhaustion. 73% disagreed that risks to their psychological health are actively monitored. 80% Restructuring and Organisational Change agreed that new policies and procedures designed to cut costs are constantly being introduced. Organisational change is significantly related to emotional exhaustion. 71% Working Hours reported working more than their contracted or paid hours 31% are contracted or paid to work full-time hours are working 48hrs a week or more Highlighted Results Introduction Australian universities are facing a serious and growing crisis in staff mental health. A five-year national study showed widespread psychosocial risks including constant restructuring, heavier workloads, digital stress, and long-term sector instability. Despite government reviews highlighting poor governance and student wellbeing, staff wellbeing has received limited direct attention. Yet under Australian WHS laws, universities are obligated to prevent and manage psychosocial risks. Evidence indicates this duty is not being met, underscoring the need for this sector census on PSC. What Is Psychosocial Safety Climate (PSC)? PSC refers to the organisational climate for worker psychological health and safety. It reflects the safety system: • senior management commitment to stress prevention • the priority placed on worker psychological health vs productivity • communication about work stress and psychological safety • participation and consultation with staff and stakeholders and all levels of the organisation PSC is a system-level indicator—a leading predictor of fut…

A composite picture of Sussan Ley and Angus Taylor with the alt text super imposed: "A composite picture of a blonde woman with glasses and a neutral expression, and a man with black hair looking pensive." Not completely inaccurate but I'd say Sussan looks a little smug and Angus looks like he's just been reminded of photocopy gate, or grass gate, or his contribution to the 2025 election, or his performance as Shadow Treasurer, or any part of his political career.

ABC News AM alt text suggest they don't know who these people are #auspol
