@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.

This is a worthwhile and interesting comparison I think. One (arguably relevant) difference is that Hayne's role (as royal commissioner, as well as his previous role) is meant to be completely independent of the executive. Not so clear in the case of Aussie of the Year.
Bridget Fitzgerald@msbfitzgerald

"Can we get a handshake or something?" "Nope." Kenneth Hayne refusing to smile for a photo op with the Treasurer. I don't remember editorials calling Commissioner Hayne "ungracious, rude and childish". "Brutal", "cold" and "refusing to cooperate", yes. Spot the difference.

"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!

@DrKatyBarnett Misquoted in the Netflix documentary on Joan Didion "The Center Will Not Hold". Worth a look.

@jeremy_gans ... it must be remembered that legislatures are ultimate guardians of the liberties and welfare of the people in quite as great a degree as the courts. Justice OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company v. May, 194 U.S. 270 (1904).
