"Canberra is a perfectly designed government capitol" then why is Jamberoo Recreation Park, where you control the action, over 200 kilometres outside its borders then, huh? Nerd
Yeah it's like Old Sydney Town, but governmental. Like they built an EPCOT that sucks and all the nerds they hired to give it authentic vibes also just actually live there. It's Westworld for people who enjoy reports and spreadsheets and know things about wine

Cost-saving? COST-SAVING?? The "cost" is that we pay those people to do the science that gives us wifi, cancer treatments, vaccines, and drought resistant crops! You don't get those outcomes WITHOUT paying people for them! It's not "cost-saving", it's "ADVANCEMENT & BREAKTHROUGH REDUCING", you FUCKS
That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.
"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."
This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.

CSIRO to slash hundreds of jobs in cost-saving drive
The staff association at the nation’s leading scientific research organisation says the latest round of cuts marks “a sad day for publicly funded science”.

I'm not joking about this. I know large-scale music streaming is very convenient and all, but I do believe it's a net negative on music as a part of human culture.
Spotify needs to die so music can live.

These docs show that the Department knew many job providers' decisions are incorrect - and complain about the administrative burden of overturning them
Their solution? Give job providers new, automated powers to make harsher punishments w/ less government oversight. Legally disastrous

It reveals that, like Robodebt, they recklessly built this thing to punish "entitled" frauds who never existed

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

You can enjoy it, make it art, take the piss out of yourself, laugh at and enjoy and be absurd strange little creatures all you want.
In fact I recommend it.
