At least if Victoria banned cars altogether, we would no longer have to drive on the worst roads in Australia. Victoria's roads are pothole ridden, ruts with crumbling edges and are not fit for purpose. The roads themselves are UNSAFE! Victorian pollies have been using new, slower speed limits instead of repairing the surfaces for years...slow downs are nothing new in Victoria. I guess we'll have to get out our pushbikes if we want to get anywhere any faster.
I did a bit of driving around Melbourne in November last year and the roadworks meant that it was slow going. It sounds like the 30km signs may speed up the traffic in some areas, or at least make it even across the board. 😂😂😂
You'd have to feel sorry for the thousands of Victorians who'd planned to step out in front of speeding cars next month. This new speed limit removes one of the fast and effective ways of leaving the Victorian Woke Worm Hole for good.
It actually takes away a basic human right for someone to move to a better place - certainly a safer place without crime, gender madness, graffiti, DEI obsession and rainbow crossings.
Might be best to step out of our cars and push them through the 30km/h zones then get back in.
The other sell to ending WFH for government workers is that government has a responsibility to local businesses (i.e. help support the businesses by having staff spend money) as well as set an example for the private sector as well.
James - I am suprised you haven't written about the Mardi Gras parade on the weekend, featuring an Aboriginal in red thigh high stiletto boots and red nappy, spearing a 'Jesus'.
It was so gross, but received very little to no coverage or criticism.
Yes, yes, Victoria. Let's ban cars altogether. No pollution, no traffic accidents. The problem is that police will have to deal with speeding sedan chairs and hooning wheel burrows
WFH is job dependent. If you are customer-facing then it’s not feasible to WFH. If your job is back office admin then it may work, depending on employee interaction required. I don’t feel there’s a OSFA solution to WFH & I don’t understand why Dutton would go down that route when there’s other, bigger fish to fry. I think maybe he’s holding back until the election is called but, who knows??
Yes, James the F-1 is a big-boys sport, high speed, high power, high pressure & a little swearing is just part of the paddock & a bit of entertainment as it gives an insight into the drivers’ personalities.
Sending criminals to schools; really?! “You can’t make this stuff up!”
No don't give up. Enjoy the confusion and laughs. I'm sure God promises to let the godless and atheists have their way as their punishment.
"for though they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their senseless minds were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise , they became fools..." Romans 1:21
Their actions and plans are pointless as they reject the creator. Sit back and enjoy their repeated failures and make sure you vote next opportunity.
I am bit over this relentless campaign against people who work from home. Especially bureaucrats. If you are a single parent who has some responsibility for children and needs to be able to drop and pick up children, take them to appointments, what are you supposed to do? If you have health conditions and have to travel long distances to work, sone leeway should be given. Peter Dutton needs to deal with real issues like immigration, defence, scrap net zero!
He has given me another reason not to vote for the liberals.
Working from home was great for my son and daughter-in-law for so many reasons. Firstly school drop off and pick up, kids home sick, doctors apts. No unreliable public transport hassles, costs etc. But it also suited their roles, not customer facing.
It’s very convenient working from home but it’s bad for the local economy, wherever you are buy particularly in country towns. So many businesses have gone under since before Covid and if this govt stays in too much longer, more will go.
It’s a bit rich coming from Dutton when he is the leader of the party who licked us all up and instigated working from home with no choice! He’s is a hypocrite
The key isn't working from home, it's flexibility - as a single mother who pre-covid had zero flexibility when it came to getting kids to and from school and appointments etc., it can be done, it's not ideal or nice, and if i could go back and have things m y way i would have stayed home and raised my kids not the state. I think working from home should be by agreement on a case by case basis between employer and employees about what w ill work for the business and the employee - its about give and take and being flexible, there are clear benefits for both working in the office and working from home, but I don't think that a carte blanch work from home arrangement as per covid times is the answer.
Working from home is not a right, but a privilege, Flexibility (where appropriate) is what modern workplaces require.
That’s true, Bella. There are individuals who milk the system to suit themselves and they are the ones who should attend an office for accountability. But a case by case approach is as sound as you’ll get. That way you sort the sheep from the goats.

Oh James! I am so glad I know how all this ends, otherwise it would be depressing.

Keep the call-outs coming James…
It would appear these days, the more peculiar you are with very peculiar ideas, the accepted you are. Lord, I am ready to go home!

Everything is peculiar

It suits my daughter in law very well. She goes to the office two days a week.

The Federal public service still has what we called Flex Time, so that certainly makes it more flexible anyway - not perfect but certainly workable.
