And we are entitled to critique his silly backwards and out dated attitudes. He'll be dead soon just like a lot of other dinosaurs and the world is going to move on whether he likes it or not. But instead he chooses to resist. Its really quite stupid.

He can add all the so called office perks he likes but it doesn't compensate for the expense and time wasting that is commuting.

And people wonder why couples are deciding not to have children when megalomaniacs like this clown seem to think life revolves around work, so much so he wants you to drop your kids off at childcare so someone else can raise them. This guy is by no means an outlier in his attitudes but he is certainly bold enough to speak very plainly on it.

For the avoidance of all doubt I don't advocate for employee laziness (unless you are being paid shit, in which case you put in proportionate to pay), but flexible working arrangements make a lot of sense.

Hot tip boomer, commuting is a waste of time and money and in most jobs doing away with this has no bearing on performance outcomes.

Another hot tip, just because someone is in the office doesn't mean they aren't wasting time. Don't assume for one minute that the office days are somehow the glory days . Believe me I see the time wasting and shit talking every time I go into the office.

Arguably the distractions of an office 9 times out of 10 are actually counter productive.

If nuclear was so brilliant the private sector would have done it already. They haven't because the cost far outweighs the benefit.

And as far taxpayer intervention goes to prop it up I just don't see any compelling evidence to suggest investment in nuclear will give you better bang for your buck than renewables.

In some countries without much wind, sun and waves nuclear might make sense provided they could cheaply get uranium and dispose waste cheaply. That's not Australia and we have options.

I think the point is if you are trying to fix housing early withdrawal of super is not the answer for all the reasons given.

There are other solutions and it would take multiple policies working in tandom.

She might be resigning but I'm quite certain the issues that led to this are still there.

Hopefully it's less people sucked into doing bullshit degrees and having nothing to show for it at the end except debt. I would argue a lot of jobs don't actually need a degree and people could simply be trained on the job.

I doubt it will kill tourism but folks might be a bit cagey about outdoor eating near busy intersections for a while.

I'm going to go against the grain here a little bit. A neutral background and style in your home can be a good backdrop that will accentuate any features that you might add that are more eccentric ( i.e. wall art or accessories like a lamp).
