Cannot overestimate amount of work that went into this. Rebranding failure at the Bureau of Meteorology is symptom of a much bigger disease: a truly horrific workplace culture that has seen employees hospitalised, meteorologists gagged, Min’ office misled. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/…

No column this week. I thought a profile of ⁦@JEChalmers⁩ would be of interest to readers. The treasurer has trained for 20 years to rise at the dispatch box next Tuesday. Big moment for him, big moment for the government. Have a read 👇 #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

Did the wall that saved the Melbourne Cup racetrack contribute to the flooding of 245 homes?
The Maribyrnong River had its worst flood in almost 50 years last week. Now residents and experts are asking if it had to be that bad

As the people whose houses were swallowed by the Maribyrnong River dragged their ruined belongings into the street this week, until the piles of junk towered overhead, marquees were being erected downstream at Flemington racecourse.

As floodwaters rose, Hussam was rescuing Arabic families trapped by language barriers
People from culturally diverse backgrounds have narrowly avoided being caught out in potentially life-threatening situations in Victorian floods because of language barriers. Community leaders say that needs to change.

The latest from me: providing information in languages and culturally appropiate services were among lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. But have we really learned though?
Culturally diverse groups should be part of emergency plans and responses.

The organ grinder
Last month, Scott Morrison updated his register of interests. It’s a brief document, but then disclosure does not come naturally to the former prime minister. The words ‘not applicable’ appear 22 times.

Conservative MPs, peers, donors, hacks and activists caper their way towards an open grave, with Johnson himself leading the procession. The dance possesses them; it has a momentum of its own; they are powerless to stop.
