There are lots of important statutes and legislations. Then again, there are some pretty stupid ones as well. Just before Christmas the State Government put out tender requests for private enterprise to replace the Manly Jetcat service. Whilst I don't know the full details, I think the invitations went out on something like the 7th of December, they closed on the 24th of December with services due to start on the 5th of January.
This made me realise, yes, there are lots of important statutes and legislations, but they are tapered by a lot of stupid politicians and policy makers.
One other thing I think is a little stupid is facebook. Well, friendship requests in particular. Facebook is a social networking site, designed for you to present information about yourself to friends and peers. Whilst it is social, it is also networking too, something that has always taken place put in a slightly more advanced manner. When you request someone as a friend, it will let you know if that attempt is successful. This is, obviously, an important part of social networking i.e. knowing if you're actually friends with people. I know why they don't do it (probably to save face), but I really think that facebook should tell you when others reject your friendship application, or removes you as a friend (of course it becomes obvious if they don't accept, but still, madness). Isn't this just as important as adding a friend? This isn't a gripe over someone rejecting a friendship request or removing me as a friend, just more of a social oversight that facebook is not managing properly.
Also, I wrote this so I could put up this picture that I took the other day. Isn't it just stellar?!?
