I’ve never heard it in a corporate context, but I had thought in a personal context it’s not necessarily something to be achieved but what is meaningful or what has value for you.

For example…

Uh…

Yeah actually IDK what my north star is. Maybe enough internet for me.

Unrelated but I only recently realised that when someone says they believe in family values it means they want to impose their definition of “family” on everyone else.

From an employer I guess when they refer to family they’re really referring to a bond beyond work, which basically means they’re expecting more from you than you’re paid for?

I can’t think of a sentence in which it doesn’t sound heavy handed.

Please effectuate the reports. Accounting will effectuate the invoice. HR has effectuated the hire.

Sometimes I say this in a glib or sarcastic or ironic kind of way. It’s not an “every meeting” kind of thing.

I’m not a manager but maybe a supervisor I guess.

Sorry mate, you seem to be blaming voters for the Greens loss.

Every party faces the same paradigm, they need to promulgate their policies, and convince voters they are capable of implementing them.

All parties have policies phrased in such a way as to be appealing, but there’s often a great disparity between the policy and the practice.

Nonsense. Every party thinks they had “a way better plan”. Voters selected the plan they thought was the best.

I’m not sure that’s the right message to take away from what’s happened.

Rejecting Dutton because he was stoking the culture war from the conservative end, does not mean that the electorate will embrace a leader who stokes the culture war from the progressive end.

For example, the voice to parliament was part of the culture war, and it failed spectacularly for Labor. They were lucky to recover really.

That’s not to say the electorate doesn’t want trans rights, but voters do want someone who’s going to address the bread and butter problems they’re facing.

That seems unlikely based on last night’s outcome.

Trumpism has a stink on it.

Dutton was trotting out some Trump rhetoric in the last 2 weeks and Australian voters have issued an emphatic, resounding rejection.

I expect a reformed liberal party will go back to their roots of fiscal and social conservatism, but do anything to avoid the culture war.

It’s only partially responsible for this.
