Dissenting Views (and all the news)

The dreaded Senate report has landed. And as to be expected, the Government's report paints a rosy picture of legislation that just needs a few tweaks in order to be passed. But the dissenting views in the report paint a very different picture. Given almost all of the feedback provided to the committee was negative about the legislation, the reports from the Coalition, Greens and Independent Senator, David Pocock, were fiercely critical. What results will that dissent have on the passage of the bill? Well, it's likely to still be a few weeks before we know, with the Government deferring debate on the bill until November. But alongside this saga that keeps on giving, there's also some good news from around the industry. It's awards and recognition season and our LinkedIn feeds are lighting up with good news stories. Likewise, AIEC touches down in Melbourne next week and I'm sure many many listeners can't wait to reconnect with colleagues, and share a well earned glass of wine (or three), after what has really been a hell of a year. We'll see you there - come by to say g'day at The Koala News/Global Horizons booth (86).
