John Armstrong channels the National Party's advice to Labour. Shameless hack.

Hard News: Republished: The CTV collapse…, in reply to Matthew Poole,
chaos and adrenaline that come into play in a real event
which can be mitigated by system design and constantly staying in touch with who your collaborators are likely to be. Making sure senior managers across agencies regularly meet one another helps.

All the finest training in the world is only as good as the regularity of its exercise and the quality of the structure into which it is deployed.
Quite.

Hard News: Republished: The CTV collapse…, in reply to Andre,
the biggest failure seems to have been the inability of the 13 similarly-ranked officers at CTV to pick a leader.
And that's what they needed to know how to do, both inside their service and with other agencies. If any emergency organisation isn't regularly practising collaboration that scales up, they really can't claim to be prepared. Note EQC's similar failings.
Collaboration doesn't just happen. Scalable system design isn't rocket surgery either.

It would be great if media outlets could stop reporting poll results as if we still had First Past the Post. Six elections is surely enough time to grow up and do their fecking jobs.
I do not care how either Labour or the Nats are rating on their own, just what the feasible coalitions they are part of are adding up to.
Lord knows what our journos and editors will do when National fractures into rural/urban parties like their Australian equivalent. Keep reporting the larger chunk as if the other is meaningless?

Hard News: Crowdfunding Time, in reply to Robert Urquhart,
The community ... nature? feeling? of Public Address means I'll not feel guilty about dropping the "subscription" should my circumstances change
And isn't that great? I'm enjoying being able to support good ventures and people again after a drought. Swings, roundabouts..
