Lewis Report is out: http://www.communications.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/243786/ABC_and_SBS_efficiency_report_Redacted.pdf Preview: quote:The study has identified five key areas that may lead to significant operational efficiencies or savings: Also, the best part of the IRC gendered slur bot isn't even that it blocks gendered slurs, it's that it actively keeps out the kind of people that are literally unable to control themselves and will kick up poo poo about not being able to use certain words. The meltdowns are spectacular.

Some highlights from the Lewis Report: Centralising operations in Sydney: quote:the ABC could abolish State and Territory Directors and absorb their functions within other positions in ABC management. The ABC could achieve modest efficiencies if it centralised its switchboard operations to Sydney and (for evening operations) Perth. On classic FM being cut: quote:It is understood that the ABC is considering a reduction in the number of live recordings on Classic Some of the working behind this stuff is totally hilarious/nuts. As an example, they take the budget of the SBS (~294m) and number of finance FTE positions (24.2) and compare it to the ABC (~923m) and 80.1m, and discover that if the ABC had the same rate of finance/FTE as the SBS, they'd need 4 fewer less FTEs. Hence, one saving is to make 4 FTEs redundant. Anybody with a modicum of intelligence would realise that some organisations have different levels of budgetary difficulty than others and budget management is not a linear scale, but apparently this is not considered. This same idea has been applied to virtually every department - ie. IT services, which the ABC (according to that metric) has 41 FTEs too many. This, of course, completely ignores that the ABC operate their own datacenters and IT infrastructure above and beyond SBS that require maintenance and operational staff. Pretty much every item that was on that list leaked a few days ago was made based on this set of assumptions, meaning that virtually all the numbers are totally meaningless. It is, therefore, entirely understandable why Scott made the decisions that he did.

He's hosed, and he knows he's hosed. Expect cabinet-level leaks pretty soon. Incidentally, Warren Truss is ill and thinking of retiring very soon.

Scott's kinda tearing it up in estimates. That dumbass Nats senator jumped on a comment Scott made that people had been suggesting the closure of the SA production studios for years, by suggesting that meant it'd been on the table for a long time (years). Scott said "not at all, consultants suggested that was one way to save money and we fought hard against it." "Oh, so it was in the bottom drawer in your desk then?" "Well, Senator, why is it that we've had to reach into the bottom drawer? We need to have some way of dealing with the 250m of cuts passed down to us." cue Nats Senator never speaking again

Haha, one of the writers of hungry beast / the checkout / chasers got called out directly in today's senate estimates: http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/kirsten-drysdale/5549556 One of the Liberal senators was accusing her employment of dumbing down 730. Scott came out loving swinging, was pretty hilarious.

T-1000 posted:There was an article recently about what the media does when the government is in trouble - step 1 was blame the PM's chief of staff, step 2 was talk up the likely replacement (Julie Bishop) in the hopes of privileged access if a challenge succeeds. Then it listed all the things Julie Bishop screwed up recently, including issuing a rebuttal to Obama's comments on the Great Barrier Reef. I'm trying but I can't find it. I think that was Greg Jericho's most recent on the Drum. e; hmm, it wasn't. I remember the article you're talking about, too.

Worth keeping in mind that polling agencies are currently doing weekly polls, something they only do in the space before an election. Usually during normal business it's fortnightly to monthly.

Zenithe posted:This is not a good system by any means, and the way we still treat refugees and asylum seekers is loving abominable, but you really have to ask yourself, is it worse than keeping children on Manus Island? This is kinda what I was thinking to myself the other day, but then I remembered that the reason they're still there is pretty much so that Morrison could do exactly this. He's had the power all along to remove children from detention, and he's kept them there.

nockturne posted:Is that green screened? Furthermore, something about the timing and how they look at each other is making me wonder if not only is it green screened, but they weren't even in the same room. Like it was filmed separately and then just mashed together digitally. Or maybe that's just how plastic they seem, individually and with each other. I think that is possibly a green screen, but I'm pretty sure they're in the same room - there are some movements that Abbott makes that are reflected in Margie's jacket, for instance.

Every single day, the channel 10 news in WA (who are arguably the dumbest and most biased) put the loving boot into Abbott. Tonight it was "the results of a new poll suggest that if an election was held today, the results for the PM would be.. catastrophic."
