I met “melp” at a conference a year or so ago and she’s smart & engaging. Good on her!

Hmmm. I wonder if *she’s* the one who stole your cashmere jumper?!!? 😉

I would think not.

So, some people are excited that she’s going overseas to learn how to ‘pressure’ (aka “lobby”) the Commonwealth Government to hand over more taxpayer’s money to an US-founded private organisation (CARE Australia), so they can spend it on some possibly-not-so-well-thought-out aid schemes overseas?

Well done, that woman! Now come back when it’s finished, and don’t get poached.

This is the same Melanie Pool who wrote the less than well regarded report ‘Breaking The Ice’ three years ago. Has hopefully smartened up since then.

Love how you are quoting yourself here (without attribution) as the person who criticised the earlier report and still manage to get the title of the report wrong:

Good on her for the scholarship.

I like the deft way you highlight just how petty and baseless c_c’s comment was.

Good job Melanie Poole, it’s an achievement to be proud of.

Having not read the report in question, can you expand on why it wasn’t well regarded? e.g.:
a) poor spelling/grammar/layout etc
b) it said things people didn’t like hearing
c) it was poorly researched or
d) a combo of the above?
Just wondering! 🙂

Awesome! Well done!
