Human Resources Manager...

I have always felt disgusted by the title 'Human Resources Manager'. It sounds like a position of managing robots by number. Do they fit into the systems and slots? Very much a dehumanised title. pic.twitter.com/3zdN339cLJ

official rise of indigenous names...

Indeed, a gorgeous goanna...
More 'gorgeous' still, for me, is the official rise of indigenous names for places, rivers+even landmarks e.g. opening June, the Yawa Aquatic Centre at Rosebud.

Naree is part of the traditional Country of the Budjiti people. It's a former pastoral property found in one of the least disturbed parts of the Murray-Darling Basin in north-western NSW. It lies in the Mulga Lands bioregion, 150km north-west of Bourke, on the Cuttaburra Channels that connect the Paroo and Warrego rivers. Its southern boundary is the Cuttaburra Creek, and Yantabulla Swamp adjoins the property to the west... Naree helps protect nationally significant, arid-zone ephemeral wetlands...Naree Station Reserve

fun royal name...

encouraging the use of aboriginal words...

Australia Post encourages the use of traditional place names on post items and now a school is role modeling the use of aboriginal words for sport houses. In my peninsula area, 'Yawa' (meaning 'to swim') is to be the name of the new pool centre at Rosebud...More of this please... https://t.co/I2S9hYC3ft pic.twitter.com/fTIzib8Rla

an Adani 'boo-boo'?...

I searched further...Medieval 'bravus' comes from Classical Latin 'barbarus'. "of or belonging to a foreign country or region (“non-Greek”); ignorant, uncivilized, unpolished, uncouth; (of natural objects) wild, uncultivated, rough, cruel, fierce.” https://t.co/qyv9xn3djN https://t.co/vIFwia8wII

Also, the letter 'v' in Latin was pronounced as a 'w' (usually when it began a word) and within a word, was more approximate to our vowel 'u', but written as a 'v'. (as in the funerary script below). So Adani has made a super 'boo-boo'...(Yes, I studied Latin at high school.) pic.twitter.com/9dH91wTjeP

I guess we could go so far as to say it is a form of karma, (according to some) n'est-ce pas? I wonder if #Adani may reconsider now? #Adani should pay me for this. I've saved them perhaps years of embarrassment.
