Once upon a time I was an expert in museum visitor experiences. Then I took a 10-year detour into management. Now I'm a semi-retired consultant. Probably neurodivergent. Definitely curious about lots of things.

Just watched Twelve Angry Men for the first time. Although it's fictional, I take a lot from how humility, dignity and careful questioning can win people over.

RM: Colleen Taylor was the perfect public servant and did everything she could to sound the alarm. If you're ever wondering what you should do as a public servant, ask yourself what would Colleen do. #adlww

RM: by definition you couldn't get a Robodebt if you didn't work. He rejects the characterisation of deserving vs undeserving, but these people weren't "job snobs" they were the "have a go get a go" people #adlww

RM: the notorious 2014 budget created the conditions for Robodebt - huge pressure to find additional savings in the 2015 financial year. #adlww

RM: Our culture has a pervasive suspicion that someone is getting something they don't deserve. The scrutiny tends to go on the poor and disadvantaged rather than the rich and privileged. #adlww

Some people didn't even know they had a debt until other government income (eg tax return, family tax benefits) were garnished. Reverse onus of proof means people had to prove they didn't owe the money. Govt often already had the evidence in their files, but didn't use it. #adlww

RM: story of Rhys Cauzzo. Was 'just a kid' living in Melbourne. He ended up getting chased by private debt collectors and died by suicide. Another woman trying to get into rehab slid back into heroin addiction and died of an overdose. #adlww

RM: came late to covering the Robodebt story, for a number of reasons. But he has always had a fascination with bureaucratic absurdity in literature: Kafka, Catch-22, Douglas Adams. #adlww

Rick Morton - now a "Robodebt historian" on his book Mean Streak. A detailed, harrowing but also sometimes darkly funny read. #adlww

Waiting for @squigglyrick.bsky.social to speak about Robodebt at Adelaide Writers' Week, reminiscing about the days when live tweeting #ADLWW was a thing.

In early 2015, almost by accident, I landed my first management role. Reflecting on my experiences, some ten years and three positions later, I've learned a lot and have few regrets. But it hasn't always been an easy road. (More in my LI post)

Were you labelled "gifted" as a kid? Do you now struggle with perfectionism, burnout, and feeling that "anything less than the best is a failure"? You might find this an interesting read whyy.org/segments/is-....
