☮ ♥ ♬ 🧑‍💻Day 15 💥🚂“As Price got into full flight, Dutton’s team tried to end the press conference.But Price kept talking.”“When the press conference’s final question turned to Price’s plans for cutting <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/GovernmentWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GovernmentWaste</a> in a potential <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Coalition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Coalition</a> cabinet, the senator seized her moment. In 11 minutes, she traversed everything from the indoctrination of students to “silly ideas around ideological things like colonising breastfeeding”.There had been no plan for Dutton’s spokeswoman for <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/IndigenousAffairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousAffairs</a> and government efficiency to take centre stage. Half an hour earlier, Price had led a rallying cry to “make Australia great again”.Discipline, focus, strategy? <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AusPol</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/LNP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LNP</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Liberal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Liberal</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Perth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perth</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#leadership</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/PeterDutton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeterDutton</a> <<a href="https://archive.md/4IhID" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.md/4IhID</a>> / <<a href="https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/dutton-had-a-decision-to-make-on-saturday-he-chose-jacinta-price-20250412-p5lr8q.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/dutton-had-a-decision-to-make-on-saturday-he-chose-jacinta-price-20250412-p5lr8q.html</a>> (paywall)

C.<a href="https://realsocial.life/@TerryHancock" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TerryHancock</a> My favourite <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/debunking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#debunking</a> of the "government paid $EXCESSIVE for $THING" kind of story was by Jerry <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Pournelle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pournelle</a>. It's currently offline, and archive.org is still recovering, so I can't link it. Actual numbers below are made up because I don't remember the exact figures, but the gist is correct.It was the "<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Pentagon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pentagon</a> paid $17,000 for a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/toilet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toilet</a> seat" one. What actually happened was that the Pentagon needed to procure more toilet seats for the B-52 bomber - the planes were (and still are!) old and stuff wears out or gets damaged. There was no remaining stock of parts.The problem was that the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/manufacturer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#manufacturer</a> had long ago junked the tooling used to make the parts (they were metal, requiring tool & die etc). Making that tooling is quite expensive - it's difficult, skilled work. Other costs involved in getting a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/manufacturing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#manufacturing</a> line set up are also expensive. And they couldn't justify buying and storing tons of extra toilet seats.So what you get is a high fixed <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/cost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cost</a> to rebuild a line, divided by a relatively small number of finished articles, giving an apparently absurd price per unit. Say, a million dollars to make 60 replacement toilet seats to original spec.And that gives... $16,667 per seat.
