Time, for a change (Advocate 25 01)
Ah, workload planning season. Love it or hate it, we all must do it. If you are the rabble-rousing union-y picket-line-inhabiting type (if you’re not, why are you even reading this?), this season can be full of uncomfortable conversations.

In Melbourne, crowds were estimated to have been up to 60,000 people, with record numbers noted in all capital cities and some regional centres.
