“Tesla chairwoman #RobynDenholm has told Australian start-up founders to stop whingeing about government policies and focus on building globally competitive companies for the artificial intelligence era.
The former #Tech Council of #Australia chairwoman, in her first comments since capital gains #tax changes in the federal budget sent the sector into meltdown, took aim at a lack of ambition among Australian investors and companies in targeting global #AI opportunities.”
“There’s #regulation everywhere in the civilised world. So, from my perspective, we’ve got to stop waiting for permission, or whingeing about bad policy, we’ve got to get on with it,”
Hats off to Robyn for speaking out. When Testra Execs can see through the #Startup bullshit ☺️

‘’Australia news live: Julie Bishop rejects ‘each and every allegation’ by ANU academic, says she intends to stay on as chancellor” (Source: The Guardian Live)
Of course she would. Ir’s agood gig which supports her lifestyle. Loves the limelight and cocktail parties, rubbing elbows with the chic. Why wouldn’d she? I am wishing it won’t be for much longer though. The #ANU #Chancelor and #Vice ought to be sacked (or politely asked to get out) after spending universtiy funds on non-academic forays, destroying what is a ‘national’ icon and causing a calling into question the quality of education and research it provides. What a financial mess these ‘managerial types’ have made of it.

This misses two powerful $$$ motivations:
* Most companies have either long term office lease obligations and / or have invested a shit ton of money in their own buildings
* Many corporations have received tax breaks for filling offices with people in a certain municipality, state, country or whatever
#wfh fucks this up for the #beancounters. In the long term WFH might appeal to the beancounters again, but not in the short term.

The f**king accountants crappy portal software won't let me add invoices without f**king emailing them with a full "contract" and they then add that organization to the system manually like it's 1992. Can I not add a client company myself? Can I not just invoice someone as a one off for freelance stuff? I had accounting software that could do that in 2012. WTAF? What am I paying these fuckers €200 a month for? 🤬😡🤬😡
