I dedicate this post to both Dopey Dutton and Dyson Heydon. Dutton who didn't read the press release emailed to him twice, and Dyson Heydon who refuses to even have a PC and has emails printed out for him.In 2015 it's beyond comprehension that emails can go unread or can't be read because of computer ignorance. In high office this is inexcusable.
I thought it was pathetic that my older brother in Hick town Taranaki (NZ) didn't read his emails and had his daughter see to them when he was running a fuckin business. But the immigration minister of Australia doesn't read a national press release emailed to him twice? Or the Royal Commissioner into union corruption across Australia is so computer illiterate that he has to have his emails printed out to him on paper? WTF?
It is no longer acceptable for high-ranking public officials to not possess at least the most basic computer and electronic communication skills as are required for the most junior entry-level positions.
Legal professionals particularly are required to undertake a minimum level of professional development throughout their careers. It is therefore very difficult to understand how any legal professional could attain a high public office without having gained even basic computer literacy and a grasp of simple electronic communication platforms such as email.
There are many excellent training courses available from any number of organisations around Australia and online. Most local libraries offer very high quality free training to residents on all sorts of internet and web-based systems. There is also no shortage of daughters, sons, neices, nephews and god-children that are more than capable of providing basic computer skills training to those in their families whose formal training occured in the pre-digital age.
EFA would be happy to provide guidance and basic training in the use of email to any high-ranking public officials that are in need of such remedial assistance. Electronic Frontiers
