  2. @bjkraal yep heard about that too...
  3. Wishing everyone at the rally in Brisbane tonight all the best - heard there's a huge crowd. #saveqahc
  4. @barrysaunders last 2 yrs - not informal but dunno if legislated. Hoping to find out in follow-up chats.
  5. @barrysaunders yeah - that's why. Interesting indeed.
  6. Oh and I didn't realise .gov.au orgs got audited on how much "channel choice" they offer citizens. But they do.
  7. Rousing roundtable on social media & risk during which someone cited Nicholas Carr & I may have gotten cranky. Now back to the airport.
  8. @Eventmechanics hmmm
  9. @alexburns sounds intriguing
  10. "culture" actually means internalisation of risk management thinking on the part of individuals in the organisation. Hurr.
  11. @dhutchman no, they are all in institutions. They mean organisational culture. That's what "culture" means in organisations.
  12. @Elmo_Keep not quite :)
  13. "culture" mitigates risk.
  14. Emergency Management discourse is a military-business hybrid with an occasional procedural democracy flavour. Fascinating.
  15. At #ERM conf I just learned that there is a figure called "Statistical cost of life" which currently comes out at $4.1m. So there you go.
