Great idea! Let's huddle with the Coach at the retrospective.
Well, you're supposed to refer to them as "rituals". "Meetings" are so waterfall. No wonder it isn't working.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joh_Bjelke-Petersen
Here are some snippets to save you reading the whole thing...
"Within months of becoming premier, Bjelke-Petersen encountered his first controversy over allegations of conflict of interest"
"three weeks after becoming premier, Bjelke-Petersen's government gave two companies, Exoil NL and Transoil NL—in both of which he was a major shareholder—six-year leases to prospect for oil on the Great Barrier Reef "
"Plans by Country Party members to support a Labor Party vote of no confidence in parliament were quashed after the intervention of party president Robert Sparkes, who warned that anyone who voted against Bjelke-Petersen would lose their status as the party's candidate at the next election."
"Bjelke-Petersen seized on the controversial visit of the Springboks, the South African rugby union team, in 1971 to consolidate his position as leader with a display of force."
"A crowd of demonstrators also mounted a peaceful protest outside the Springboks' Wickham Terrace motel and were chased on foot by police moments after being ordered to retreat, with many police attacking the crowd with batons, boots and fists. It was one of a series of violent attacks by police on demonstrators during the Springboks' visit to Queensland"
"Bjelke-Petersen praised police for their 'restraint' during the demonstrations and rewarded the police union for its support with an extra week's leave for every officer in the state. He described the tension over the Springboks' tour as 'great fun', 'a game of chess in the political arena'. The crisis, he said, 'put me on the map'."
"Bjelke-Petersen began regular media and parliamentary attacks on the Whitlam Labor government, vowing to have it defeated, and he and Whitlam exchanged frequent verbal barbs, culminating in the prime minister's 1975 description of the Queensland premier as 'a Bible-bashing bastard ... a paranoic, a bigot and fanatical'"
"Bjelke-Petersen also vehemently opposed the Whitlam government's proposal for Medicare, a publicly funded universal health care system."
"In 1975, Bjelke-Petersen played what turned out to be a key role in the political crisis that brought down the Whitlam government. Bjelke-Petersen alleged that Queensland police investigations had uncovered damaging documentation in relation to the Loans Affair. This documentation was never made public and these allegations remained unsubstantiated"
"television cameras captured an incident during the confrontation in which a police inspector struck a 20-year-old female protester over the head with his baton, injuring her. When Police Commissioner Ray Whitrod announced he would hold an inquiry, a move supported by Police Minister Max Hodges, Bjelke-Petersen declared there would be no inquiry. He told reporters he was tired of radical groups believing they could take over the streets."
"In 1977, Bjelke-Petersen announced that 'the day of street marches is over', warning protesters, 'Don't bother applying for a march permit. You won't get one. That's government policy now!'"
"When, after two ugly street battles between police and right-to-march protesters, the Uniting Church Synod called on the government to change the march law, Bjelke-Petersen accused the clergy of 'supporting communists'"
"The government's increasingly hardline approach to civil liberties prompted Queensland National Party president Robert Sparkes to warn the party that it was developing a dangerous 'propaganda-created, ultra-conservative, almost fascist image.' "
"Florence Bjelke-Petersen (his wife) was elected to the Senate in October 1980 as a National Party member and six weeks later Joh was successful for a fifth time as premier at the 1980 Queensland election, with the Nationals converting a 27.9 percent primary vote—their highest ever—into 35 of the parliament's 82 seats, or 43 percent of seats."
"In 1984 Bjelke-Petersen was created a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG) for 'services to parliamentary democracy'. Author Evan Whitton suggests the premier had made the nomination himself."
"A 'Joh for PM' campaign was conceived in late 1985, driven largely by a group of Gold Coast property developers, promoting Bjelke-Petersen as the most effective conservative challenger to Labor Prime Minister Bob Hawke, and at the 1986 Queensland election he recorded his biggest electoral win ever, winning 49 of the state's 89 seats with 39.6 percent of the primary vote."

No need for /s - this is no less illogical than most of their other arguments.
Nup to YouTube videos so didn't watch - but you cannot possibly hate vim if you started with vi.
Edited to add that Edlin was even worse than vi, but apparently Microsoft is still shipping it. It was released 44 years ago. Now I shall return to contemplation of the great void that lies ahead. Have a nice day.

I think the '1973' is supposed to be '1937', even though that is the title at this web page: https://www.max-ernst.com/the-triumph-of-surrealism.jsp - the text describes it as 1937 - and this style was a response to rising fascism, which presumably seemed disorienting and surreal - just as it does today.

Peter Dutton says he will speak to Barnaby Joyce, as Anthony Albanese states that the opposition frontbencher owes the public an explanation for why he was laid out on a footpath in Canberra's entertainment district late after a parliament sitting day.

The Coalition will unwind laws allowing workers to ignore unreasonable out-of-hours contact from their bosses, Peter Dutton says, committing his party to undoing the 'right to disconnect' if it wins the next federal election.
What a winner.
China's ambassador lashes out at Australian politicians who have recently visited Taiwan, saying the MPs are being manipulated by separatist forces inside the self-governed territory.
Speaking in Sydney, China's ambassador Xiao Qian warned Australian parliamentarians should think carefully before travelling to the democratic island.
Mr Xiao said it was very important for Australian politicians to respect that Taiwan was part of China.
"Taiwan is a province of China. They need to respect that there's a commitment by the Australian government of [the] One China Policy and they need to respect the sentiments and the feelings of the 1.4 billion Chinese people," he said.
"I hope they will stick to the One China policy in words and in deed; refrain from engaging with Taiwan in whichever form of capacity so that you will not be politically utilised by people in the island with political motives."
Taiwan has unveiled its first domestically-made submarine as it aims to strengthen the island's defences against the Chinese navy.
The submarines will use a combat system by US defence company Lockheed Martin Corp and carry US-made torpedoes.
Admiral Huang Shu-kuang, Ms Tsai's security adviser, described the submarines as a "strategic deterrent" that could also help maintain the island's "lifeline" to the Pacific by keeping ports along Taiwan's eastern coast open.
China openly ridiculed Taiwanese hopes for what the submarines could do to defend the island.
“No matter how many weapons the Democratic Progressive Party buys, it will not obstruct the greater trend of reunification with the motherland,” said Senior Colonel Wu Qian, a spokesperson in China's Ministry of National Defense.
Brand, 48, says he received a letter and an email from a television company and a newspaper "listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks".
British comedian Russell Brand has posted a video denying "serious criminal allegations" set to be made against him in an upcoming television program.
"But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks, are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute," Brand said.
"These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies.
"And as I've written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous. Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual.

Tim Gurner says he regrets comments he made at a media event, which were slammed by workers, unions and politicians.
The Australian Financial Review reported on Thursday that a senior manager at Mr Gurner's wellness and anti-ageing network Saint Haven had sought to assure staff that their founders' comments were not directed at them.
"I want to start by saying I've had the pleasure of working with Tim for almost two years now and can hand on heart say that his care and love for both the Gurner Group and Saint Haven team is immense," the manager reportedly said, adding that Mr Gurner's comments "were in no way directed at our teams".
Gurner Group says its development and management portfolio is worth more than $9.5 billion.
Previous 'smashed avocado' comments were also slammed
Mr Gurner was criticised by many in 2017 when he suggested first homebuyers were struggling to enter the property market because they were "spending $40 a day on smashed avocados and coffee and not working".
