todayiamadaisyI rounded off my week of swanning about the state with a day in Melbourne, spending seven hours at a seminar on Advanced Salary Packaging for Non-Profit Organisations. Yet again it involved mention of novated leases. I really must find out what they are.
And now I'm on leave; from work, at least. I've taken a week off to write three thousand words on How Bicameral Relations Influence Responsible Democratic Government in Australia. That'll be thrilling. Part of me wants to see if I can do it without once mentioning The Dismissal*, but that would be foolish. I'll also be writing two thousand words on something to do with audience behaviour, but I haven't even thought about that one yet. I really must read the question.
* In 1975, the Governor-General (the Queen's representative, appointed by the government, and a post that is more or less ceremonial) responded to a protracted and bitter financial dispute between the upper and lower houses of parliament by sacking the elected government. This is far and away the single most interesting thing that has ever happened in Australian politics.**
** With the possible exception of the time a staid and straight-laced former Prime Minister, visiting America, was found wandering about Dallas in a "confused" state while not wearing any trousers.
