Something I have been complaining about with Govt agencies and private organisations for years. If you ring me unsolicited and then request me to prove who I am, you should be perfectly ready to prove to me who you are first, without getting your easily-o…https://t.co/2kg64S2gzt

The challenge here is to provide a better option than long-term embedded mentors, governance support, decrease in foreign occupation from 45k to 6k, and a more cost-efficient and strategically effective effort that includes diploma…https://t.co/d8OhJStDmI https://t.co/2tFOT8HKEv

800+ pages down to 200 pages is definitely a step in the right direction to assist in understanding and compliance. Too often bureaucracies think that complicated and lengthy requirements will minimise risk, not understanding that they are increasing vuln…https://t.co/H7Ze0j0Uq7

Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! No.....wait....oops.
