Learning and development - amazing how this controversy is lying so low given its incredible negative consequences. theage.com.au/national/victo…

Interesting who will come out winners and losers in the Trump saga. I reckon this person has gained a fair amount of respect. Yes 2020 - the year of living dangerously.
“People calling for you to be beheaded, fired, thrown in the fire pit or whatever, that's just noise. You don't pay attention to that.” - Dr Anthony Fauci tells @leighsales that battling the pandemic with @realDonaldTrump as president has been “very stressful”. #abc730
Yes finding this balance is important. Keep it simple but not stupid..
If you think you have to dumb down an idea to explain it, you're not giving your audience enough credit.
If people don't understand your idea, start with the assumption that you haven't explained it well.
The goal of communication is clarity, not simplicity.

Amazing but quite disturbing with this story continuing...

Amazing how a crisis brings on innovation. A serious problem for a bigger crisis that may be creeping up on you....
PM Scott Morrison has announced a $1.1bn health and family violence package:
-Medicare extended to telehealth services
-$74m for mental health support
-$150m into domestic violence initiatives
-$200 into emergency and food relief support
When the AFL reboots after this adversity they should cleanse a few aspects. Betting promotions that coincide with children viewing are inexcusable. It's easy for the AFL leadership to pretend it doesn't matter but this doesn't wash. The money isn't worth it... CSR people...
“What’s happened tonight is the players have really put their hand up to do their bit to ensure our game gets through this.”
Damo just checked in with Gill to ask about the deal reached today. Watch the full interview here: afl.to/3bsOt5j
Ineptitude in response wasn't limited to the US but they did take it to new levels. One clear exception was a recent mum in New Zealand. Balancing family duties and leadership in a way that stands out like a beacon to all.
The coronavirus is not Donald Trump's fault, but his inept response is.
He ignored the warnings for months, downplayed the threat it posed, and failed to take the action needed to combat the outbreak.
It's one of the greatest failures of presidential leadership in our history.

Yes once again chaos in motion. This is not a complex problem. But you need to employ people to enact the implementation.
This is absolute insanity.
Can these state & federal government bodies start talking to each other!
None of these people given mandatory temperature checks.
Last week, the Ruby Princess debacle today this. What next?

Yes this confused completely. Fantastic that a CEO stands up and leads the way. What are our political and medical leaders thinking...

We did the same with the fires. The wise elders that have lived through the real action are not listened to. Regurgitating the same iconic faces that frequent the political networks because they say what the power brokers want to hear will not solve this one...
Next tweet is the SMH op-ed I wrote on 6 March 2020 19 days ago. Had @ScottMorrisonMP and Brendan Murphy taken this free advice then, and not waited until now to start adopting some of what I said then, we would be better prepared for what's coming. Why did they not act? @abcnews
As someone once said "how good is Australia". Actually a real silver lining - has kicked the country into gear knowing that voluntary interventions would not work here.

Amazing how important mendacity becomes when a crisis occurs. A lesson for all that a reboot is required. Offsiding a question through lying, walking away, or a flippant reply is not right if democracies are to prosper
Reports say that McConnell is shocked that Democrats unanimously rejected his atrocious coronavirus bill. That may be play-acting; but if it isn't, he really doesn't get where we are — either the nature of the crisis or why Trump's record matters 1/
Reckon at this speed AFL has a week to go (proper outcome for what's a distraction - and I love the game).
1700 on Monday, 3400 on Wednesday or Thursday, 7-8000 by next weekend. True number by then 70-80,000 possibly. Primary school maths. Someone should go figure. No magic fairy will bring that down. 14-20 days behind Italy. Believe in maths not magic.
