@LyleShelton @ScottMorrisonMP @LiberalAus Allowing access to super for home ownership means the bank can take security over your super in the event you default on your loan. That is not a responsible policy and it will create huge issues for any government.

@jeremy_gans We talk more about enemies these days. Or the perception of mistrust and the reluctance to collaborate. Every action is regarded as being loaded with meaning and significance, even the thanks conveyed by a handshake.

"Hit the ground running" Today there were 1,295 jobs advertised on Seek with this implied guarantee of no training or orientation for new employees. Recruiters and employers should be asking themselves if this is the best they can do in their job postings.

@DrKatyBarnett I don't know what Yeats was smoking when he saw the image of the Sphinx (probably the same substance that Shelley used when he penned Ozymandias or Coleridege when he sprouted Kubla Khan). Twenty centuries of stony sleep, indeed. Totally stoned!
