This could be a big moral test, and the government seems to be good at failing those.

Grant them access, let them in, then lock them all up and throw away the keys...
One can dream 😔

We've had good investment in free TAFE for the care-based sector since before the infrastructure boom. No doubt could be better, but I'm not too sure there is an overt bias one way or another

Having worked in public health (patient facing, not IT or admin) long enough to be part of the fragmented electronic health record rollout, I find it baffling that open source isn't a basic requirement for all software in the public sector. Instead, we're going all in on MS 365 and VM Ware

It's the same problems all across the Western world. The conservatives, whose economic ideology causes these problems, also borrow all the worst talking points from each other. Quite sickening really

Got mine, the entirety of my last bill was the daily supply charge. A battery allowed me to use a time-of-use tariff accessing free midday power like in the article. If I had a bigger battery, could even use a wholesale retailer and profit instead of paying

There's a couple in Australia who probably aren't. Can't be certain though. One brought a large number of shares in our dirtiest energy generator and retailer explicitly to try and accelerate their closure of fossil fuel assets. That's owning FF in a way, but trying to undermine them is fun to watch

'Sceptical' isn't the right word in the article here @australia.theguardian.com Would have thought its use in this context goes against your style guide, which is usually very good on climate science.
