This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

When Dutton says LNP will cut the APS by 36,000, remember they've done this before. Then they had to backfill with consultants (an external workforce).

"...that external workforce cost $20.8 billion in the final year of the Morrison government." 👀

Who came up with the idea to cut thousands of public service jobs?
The leader of the federal Liberal Party is making some big announcements, including plans to sack thousands of public servants. It is 1951.

The complete unseriousness of Dutton criticising Albanese for not ‘lobbying Trump in person’ after spending much of the term calling Albanese ‘Airbus Albo’. There is no universe where the Coalition wouldn’t have criticised Albanese for heading to the US this close to an election

I had it in my mind that Canada would go to the polls in October, the latest they could because the Trudeau government would want to hold on as long as possible.

But both Australia and Canada might end up going to the polls at roughly the same time in May.

I know it's hopeless but I hope people in the UK remember the DOGE-woes the next time some populist douchecanoe claims that fixing Britain's problems is a simple matter of putting a businessman in charge, firing half the civil service, and lighting a regulatory bonfire.

Shit's hard, yo.

It's a policy designed to engender anger at the idea of highly paid public servants sitting in their PJs in a Canberra home when much of the policy has allowed the workforce to be distributed across the country, including regional areas they want to win votes in.

Suspect this one might backfire.
The Information Commissioner has already explained why that office wants fully-remote staff.

You'd have to be hard of thinking to be surprised that the DTA and ADHA - both Ds stand for "digital" - have high proportions of remote workers.

The problem with the ALP almost across Australia is pretty simple and boring. They govern in a way that the public expected 20 years ago. But expectations have changed - good housekeeping is not enough now, even though it was then. People want things to change now, not just better managed

Labour is upping the ante on anti-migrant politics just to learn that Farage & the Tories can always, always go further than them.

It’s real people who are caught in the crossfire of politicians trying to outdo each other on toughness.
