'Big Mother' .. classic

.. by the way, how much are We paying Meltwater to spy on Us, the other kids in the schoolyard, who don't like nor have many very nice things to say about this blow-in from the 5 Eyes bully gang from way over the over side of the schoolyard?

and did we say this Julie girl could spend our money on desperately seeking to know what the other kids are saying about her?

eSafety didn’t want to say a figure. I browsed through last year’s annual report for contractor payments and nothing was itemised. But my guess would be under $10K. These kinds of automated insights packages aren’t massively expensive in the context of a big agency budget from what I can tell. Happy for any insiders to correct me in that if I’m wrong.

‘Social listening’ sounds much better than surveillance! 😄

Inman Grant is a genuine fucking mole. Did you know that Anthony Albanese was the proud President of the Sydney University Trotsky Party? That he boasted the sobriquet "Trots"? It was only removed from his Socials when he was "elected" as Prime Minister of Oz. So dear Julie is Commissar of Pravda, da? And our PM shall be known as Anthony Stalineasy 👏

E-safety is " controversial material" and as such, should be banned by E-safety.

Also, Julie could be a witch and needs to be tested to see if she is a duck, or made of wood.

Correction: see if she weighs the same as a duck.

My personal feeling is she's a well-meaning person who has been in the technocrat globalist bubble for so long that she's not fully aware of the implications of her overreach. But I could be naive.

Bureaucrat using American accented way to promote a suspicious job & using unnecessarily to convince Australians to but the deal This is manufactured employment for bureaucracy to inject woke style information into public's lives with no real meaning behind them but high powered waffle This lady dos not impress favourably of what goal is being sought & intention behind it Why has she got this paid job & reason for it Who or what group supports her in US or other overseas places

Inman Grant has lived in Aus for about two decades and is a (dual) citizen so in the spirit of multiculturalism I consider her to be Australian. As far as I understand, elected politicians can’t have dual citizenship, but this rule does not apply for unelected bureaucrats. Regarding international connections you may find this an interesting read if you haven’t already seen it: https://open.substack.com/pub/networkaffects/p/julie-inman-grant-has-made-australia?r=jufg5&utm_medium=ios
