Surely it’s a good thing and a wake up call to PwC . What structural reforms do you want , what time frame , how do you implement and who is responsible for change?
You aren’t going to change safety cultures in the private or public service when line managers to the CEO are motivated by greed 😢

She forgets Australia is part of Asia . She seems to have missed the Keating yrs when all kids were going to learn an Asian language .
Howard changed the curriculum with American history.

First Nations people traded with Indonesia for centuries

How many houses, boats, cars, holidays, money and ‘stuff’ does one person need ?

They will all die and their families will fight about inheritances and continue the greed family tradition.

Just in case you missed the 'memo' - the real problem is greed of the wealthy - always was, always will be. Don't be distracted by bs 'issues' #auspol #australia Pass it on

AlJazeera, SBS and the BBC are ok .
Too much misinformation and Labor bashing from most other sources .Some in the ‘left’ clueless about essential workers , the poor and remote communities . Too posh for Labor and think IR Indis or Greens are the answer😢
Murdoch and Musk have terrible outlets

@albomp.bsky.social clearly explained as he celebrated PNG Independence Day in Port Moresby why the signing of the PNG Defence Agreement with Australia would be DELAYED. Yet #abcNews for the next week stated negotiations had failed. Murdoch too. #TheirABC. #Auspol

They just undermine Labor and spread misinformation.
Need a good purge of Murdoch editors and hacks at the abc . It is an untrustworthy news service

The undermining of the Albanese govt has been relentless by some at the abc.
Will never forget or forgive some of the nasty hacks who enabled the No narrative from Dutton during the Voice campaign.
Unkind, lazy, sloppy and obsequious Murdoch apologists

Migration to Australia is restricted to skilled, family, humanitarian, defence and student visas. An increase in one category is typically balanced with a decrease in another as needed.

The terms ‘unplanned’ or ‘uncontrolled’ migration is dishonest, racist dog whistling from the right.

"Hastie’s opposition to migration places him in the anti-business, anti-economic growth, pro-skill shortage, pro-inflation camp of Little Australia..."

Watching yet *another* leader be destroyed by the Liberal right is the most tedious ritual in politics

Andrew Hastie has fled to the backbench to sit and snipe at those in his party prepared to develop a coherent policy agenda. It's how the right works.

Solidarity from Australia.
Trump is a nightmare .
Would expect a military dictator to send troops to use the army against the people . One would never expect the use of the military in a democracy
