Estonia’s population is smaller than the population of South Australia. #justsaying

I’d suggest that when colleagues in Canberra hold up work in digital services in Estonia as a digital transformation benchmark, it would be good to recall that their total population is 1.3 million. For me @ServiceNSW is doing just as good a job with 6 times the audience.

What a shot! @adamscott_photo
The final wicket photo means this one of Ollie Pope catching Zahid Mahmood off Jimmy is just in the top nine pics today. Test cricket - you're the best! @OPope32 @jimmy9
Anyone else getting urgent messages from the Digital Marketplace that require you to use an alternative email address to respond? #UX

Jacob Rees-Mogg is furious that you keep retweeting him saying a new Prime Minister requires a General Election. Please stop retweeting it otherwise Rishi Sunak and the entire Conservative Party could be gone in weeks #General_Election_Now #ToriesOut110

Speaks volumes that in all the outcry about “political ads”, few commentators seem to have noticed that despite Howard, Morrison et al spending shedfuls of money on this stuff, they still lost their elections. Overtly political ads simply don’t work anymore.
The Liberal and Labor governments' use of taxpayer-funded advertising has been condemned by @GrattanInst after a new report found that nearly $50 million yearly has been spent on politicised campaign advertisements. @annamabelmac has more. themandarin.com.au/202044-go…
Australia’s best journalist doing her best work (again). Astonished that the rest of the media aren’t all over this story. #thankskate
Koletti's evidence is doing my head in. He previously identified himself in a grainy image in a car at 6.55am the morning Melissa disappeared. He said it was him out searching. Now he says you can't really tell & he was at home and hadn't realized she was gone. #Caddickinquest

If you’re in Government and worried that you’re not digital enough, stop and have a chat with @piacandrews. You’ll save us all a fortune.

The ANAO report states that the much trumpeted “Digital Marketplace” awarded SIX (count ‘em) lucky “SME’s” an average of 115 contracts each. Have to say that if you’re getting 115 contracts from the DTA in a single year, you’re not exactly an “SME”. What say you @tburton ?
“Ineffective on 9 procurements”. Out of 9. anao.gov.au/work/performance…
Astonishing that this is still going on. The only people benefiting from the rush to digital transformation are IT vendors.

Well said @BernardZuel
There's been plenty of attention on the 7 religious bigots at Manly (the lower graders who also refused got off lightly), but now we should give more time to the captain, coach & players with proper values, & the majority of the club that stood by the jersey gesture.
Is this a parody account?
Hot tip for the new Energy Minister. Pick up the phone and speak to the people who can get more gas supply into the network. ☎️ Labor is in Government now. They are responsible for electricity prices. They need to stop looking dazed and come up with some solutions.

When the Lismore region flooded, Scott Morrison & his local MP promised a $10M CSIRO flood mitigation study. But they forgot to sign the contract, so nothing has happened. 🤦‍♂️ dailytelegraph.com.au/news/n…

#qanda Good idea putting Monique Ryan on the same panel as Downer & Bragg - as a paediatric neurologist she has a lot of experience with small brains.
