Culture has once again been the topic of conversation these past few weeks. It has taken the courage of several individuals to shine a light on workplace practices that not only physically threaten lives, but also create an environment of mistrust and fear.
Parliament House isn’t the first and won’t be the last example of a toxic workplace but it now has an opportunity to correct course. The government must act now if it wishes to salvage its reputation and retain the services of the good people that it has working there.

Company chiefs should create an âexperimentalâ budget to help accelerate the adoption of more advanced technologies, argues the local head of Adecco Group, a recruitment, education and consultancy business.
Preeti Bajaj, who also sits on the board of Guide Dogs Australia, said an advantage of an experimental budget was that it could afford to be small, because trialling and verifying new systems or services could be done cheaply.
âI havenât had a customer meeting in 20 years where if Iâve asked for feedback, I havenât received it,â says Preeti Bajaj, CEO of Adecco in Australia and New Zealand.Â

Itâs late January 2021 and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is even more bullish than usual. The fourth-quarter earnings call to analysts and investors affords him the chance to announce the companyâs first ever full-year profit.
But he goes well beyond that, firing off obscure facts and figures, boasting that the forthcoming Model S Plaid will be the fastest-accelerating road car in history, talking up enormous future growth (50 per cent more cars every year âover a multi-year horizonâ), dissing hydrogen competitors (hydrogen is âa big pain in the arse, reallyâ), insisting full self-driving technology really is just around the corner, and suggesting that a fleet of Tesla robo-taxis could âpotentially justifyâ his companyâs sky-high valuation.
