I don’t want it. I want to downgrade. I want to get less access. I want the opposite of what you’re selling.

A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.

Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

Listen, I can't stress this enough: cargo boats are fucking massive. Basically everything our civilisation builds rides on them. Do you get that? You probably think, on some level, that it all gets flown on planes or something. It doesn't. It comes on a massive, fuck-off boat.

The how-to-votes are out for the SA election. Does it matter what they recommend? Check out my post from December with full detail on whether voters followed HTVs in 2022 including a link to detailed analysis of 2022 preference flows. antonygreen.com.au/do-how-to-vo...

She was sorer than a sunburned neck in her printed response to Rick Morton's book all in the protection of her reputation and legacy, which matter more than money to the comfortably off who thinks of themselves as dedicated to the public service, not money.

In my experience they're usually too busy pretending the lord has told them how important they are. No bad vibes, just prosperity.

Oh, he's still on the ballot.

No-one capable of Googling in head office is not a good look for a vaguely possible party of government.

In the present context, however, of an investigation into allegations of corrupt conduct, we are not so much concerned with Diceyan theory of ministerial accountability and Cabinet solidarity as with personal obligations of honesty and good faith. Thus, although Mr Morrison may have been responsible to Cabinet for the failings of DSS – in particular for DSS’ failings in not preventing the shortcomings of the NPP and checklist – it by no means necessarily follows that Mr Morrison was personally at fault for not detecting the failings of DSS or that he set out to act dishonestly or in bad faith. The question of any personal shortcoming requires consideration of the system and circumstances of ERC’s operation at the time of its adoption of the NPP.

The passages clearing Morrison of fault are extraordinary

NACC says Morrison is technically "responsible" as cabinet Minister, but not "personally at fault"

If responsibility exists without consequence...then what does "ministerial accountability" even mean anymore?

You worry for your vulnerable parts while he is so exercised?
