It pretty much started on time at 6.30pm - as one of the councillors I did try to explain the raise hand option (one other councillor did use it) - all a steep learning - but pretty amazed it worked! I gave a plug and got the mayoral minute amended to include Social Enterprises, The Bower and

Re: [LINK] 50 years of Teleworking Fantasies to COVID-19 Reality

Marghanita, the article talks about the obvious stuff like bosses who only believe people are working when they can be seen to be working. It talks about how people like to be together when teleworking, and St Job's vision of serendipity on the way to the dunny. But what have we gained, what

I am sure we all have stories to tell from Teleworking Fantasies to COVID-19 Reality. By the way, I understand (from a friend 14 Feb 2020 email) that in the lock down across China from January kids moved to e-learning with schools only planned to open on 1 April...this seams to be now

Re: [LINK] The government's coronavirus modelling

Buried on the health.gov.au site is a link to the Doherty Institute report. https://www.doherty.edu.au/uploads/content_doc/McVernon_Modelling_COVID-19_07Apr1_with_appendix.pdf There's a lot more information in that report, but its value is debatable. That's probably why Scotty's presentation
