What did you think about Rachael Gunn's breakdancing performance at the Olympics? I didn't know that she works here at Macquarie University, pretty crazy to think that we're alumni from the same school. Regardless of how good she is at break dancing, I do think the online hate was a little much - although I may be biased!

Are any other public employees unhappy about this return-to-work mandate? According to Chris Minns, jobs can be made flexible in "other ways than remote work." I think expecting everyone to drop everything and make the office a default again is a little ridiculous honestly.

Is Promenade at Bondi a good place to bring people who haven't been to the beach before? I've never been since I've heard the prices are touristy, but I'm trying to show my friends a good time while they're down from London. Is it worth a stop? The pictures are pretty but is the actual ambiance good? How's the food?
