In which the pond has no time for the lizard Oz's Thursday hive mind mob, but the maddening Madden and Mein Gott save the day ...

 

The pond feared that the day might come, and most likely on a Thursday, when the pond would draw a blank when contemplating the lizard Oz hive mind. 

Just look at the alleged news ...

Just look at the line up on the extreme far right...

Say what? The reptiles think the pond would come out of the freezing Melbourne wind to read this sort of tosh?

In defence of John Pesutto
My support for Pesutto was perhaps old-fashioned, but I consider him to have been acting in his role of leader when he made comments that have since been decided by the court to have been defamatory.
By Jeff Kennett

It's mildly amusing to see that if you click on Kennett's thumb it takes you to his HUN page, where he presents himself in gangster garb, a befitting Melbourne vibe ...

And it's mildly amusing to note he's leapt from the HUN into the lizard Oz hive mind after Dame Slap's ravaging yesterday.

And it's actually quite funny to note that the reptiles later quietly dropped one of the photos from that Dame Slap outing. Guess which one?

Too cruel, and so it was disappeared into the cornfield, and yet the pond thinks that imitation of a cane toad was remarkably successful and deserves praise.

But that's as far as the comedy goes. The pond would rather pluck out its eyes than spend time with the man ...

Ditto petulant Peta, ploughing a familiar reptile field of war mongering dreams ...

PM’s ambivalence to US alliance is a danger
The leadership of the Albanese government is much more comfortable dealing with the politics of climate and identity than with the geopolitics of responding to great power competition.

If you can't be at least a little ambivalent about King Donald, his courtiers and minions, then you need to get a life.

Eyebrows raised over ‘Daddy’ Trump; US to hold talks with Iran, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte faces claims of weakness after casting Donald Trump as a father figure

Well yes ... allow the pond to raise an eyebrow, because it's infantilism cranked up to 11 ...

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte’s reference to Donald Trump as a “daddy” in a joint press conference has raised eyebrows among European allies.
The US President had faced questions over why he used the F-bomb on the leaders of Iran and Israel when they continued to strikes each other after he had negotiated a ceasefire.
Mr Trump boasted that he had stopped the longstanding conflict between Israel and Iran.
“They’re not going to be fighting each other. They’ve had it. They’ve had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard. You know? They fight like hell,” he said.
Then Mr Rutte interrupted to defend the man he has referred to as his “friend.”
“Daddy sometimes has to use strong language,” he said.
Mr Trump agreed, saying: “Yes, you have to use a certain word.”
sked at a separate press conference about being called “Daddy,” Mr Trump said “He likes me. He says ‘You’re my daddy.”
Later, asked at his own press conference whether his use of “daddy” for Trump made him appear weak, Mr Rutte said his remarks were a “question of taste”.
“He’s a good friend,” he said of Mr Trump. “Doesn’t he deserve some praise?”
Asked about Mr Rutte’s behaviour toward Trump, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said, “I didn’t find it obsequious.”
“I expressed it a bit more soberly in my words, but of course it is and remains true that it was only this US administration — in combination with the war in Ukraine — that prompted us to decide what we decided today,” said Mr Merz.

A question of taste? Not obsequious? Et tu Europe? Even Adolf might have found the bowing, the scraping, and the ass-kissing a tad nauseating.

Back on the extreme far right of the page, Jack the Insider offered ...

The experts are dead. Long live the experts!
One does not need any particular expertise on the demographics or ethnic make-up of Iran to appreciate this is one of the worst regimes on the planet and must never have nuclear weapons.

... to which one might add the suggestion that the current Israeli government is one of the worst regimes on the planet and should never have nuclear weapons.

Jack was also full in on his wise daddy, with the notion that his daddy was right ...

...Greens defence spokesman David Shoebridge described the Australian government as complicit in the “escalation and violence” in the Middle East. He went further, calling for Australia to withdraw from AUKUS.

Protesters chant slogans as they hold the Iranian flags and posters of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in an anti-US and anti-Israeli rally.
“At this moment, being silent when a bully like Donald Trump breaks international law and starts the United States’ third war in the region just this century, being ­silent is complicit.”
Thoughtful silence in a rapidly changing situation shows good judgment. Statements made in haste are bound to look foolish within hours, be they from right-wing isolationists like Carlson or addled-headed leftists like Shoebridge.
Regime change in Iran is desirable but it cannot be delivered by military force. The Pottery Barn rule of Western intervention in the Middle East remains in place. As secretary of state Colin Powell told president George W Bush in 2002: “Once you break it, you are going to own it, and we’re going to be responsible for 26 million people standing there looking at us. And it’s going to suck up a good 40 to 50 per cent of the Army for years. And it’s going to take all the oxygen out of the political environment.
There are 91.5 million people in Iran, by the way.
Finally, it was left to Trump to make sense of it all.
“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f..k they’re doing. Do you understand that?”
I did, and I think many people do.

Fcuk the pond dead, that's making sense of it all?

Meanwhile in Gaza making sense of it all ...

UNICEF spokesperson James Elder warns situation in Gaza worsening as water crisis looms

The screams of injured children who can no longer access painkillers fill the air in Gaza, where UNICEF spokesperson James Elder says "daily atrocities" are not only being committed but have escalated in the past fortnight.
Mr Elder told 7.30 Gaza is facing multiple crises, even as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his nation will continue its war there until the nation's objectives are completed.
Mr Elder says water is now scarce, may run out in just a fortnight and could result in children dying of thirst.
Children in Gaza though are already dying, with a May UNICEF report stating 50,000 children had been injured or killed since Israel's response to Hamas's October 7, 2023 terror attack.
The UNICEF spokesperson recounted the story of one child who had died after sustaining injuries near an aid site. 
"I went to a hospital and I met a little 13-year-old boy, he'd been given money just to go and buy bread for his family," Mr Elder recounted.
"He saw a flood of people going to one of these [aid] sites and thought 'my goodness, my family, I can end my mum's starvation pain'
"When I met this little boy, he was telling his story and his dad's in tears.
"Finally, after my two weeks in Gaza on my final day, this little guy, Abed Al Rahman, died of those injuries, died trying to get food for his family. 
"This is not a one off. This is happening consistently and will continue to because it's a combat site."

And then there was this ...

At least 40 Palestinians killed in single day as Gaza fighting continues

Israeli forces have issued new evacuation warnings for parts of Gaza after another day of bloodshed in which at least 40 people are reported to have died. 
At least 19 of those killed were trying to reach an aid distribution site in the central Gazan city of Nuseirat, according to an official at a local hospital. 
Marwan Abu Naser, of the Al-Awda Hospital, said a further 146 people were injured by gunfire as crowds tried to reach the centre.
Israel's military said that a gathering overnight was identified adjacent to forces operating in Gaza's central Netzarim Corridor, and it was reviewing reports of casualties.

Always the reviewing, and never a mention in the lizard Oz of the ongoing ethnic cleansing.

Never mind, in a fit of petulance worthy of Peta, the pond decided to abandon this day's reptiles ... and head back to this astonishing reptile take on the most recent ABC disaster ...

The recalcitrant header: Antoinette Lattouf went rogue, but blame lies with ABC management, The ABC is not the platform for political activism. Full stop. End of story. But what does this whole sorry Lattouf saga say about the public broadcaster’s management?
The caption: Journalist Antoinette Lattouf with a supporter outside court after winning her unlawful dismissal case against the ABC. Picture: Nikki Short / NewsWire
The misleading advice: This article contains features which are only available in the web version, Take me there

She went rogue? Drawing attention to ethnic cleansing by quoting a reputable source is going rogue?

She used the ABC platform? From what the pond understands - never listening to the ABC's local radio - she was amazingly anodyne while on the ABC ...

Speaking of going rogue, it was the Australian Zionist News Daily that fails to mention that it was the Australian Jewish Zionist lobby that went rogue ... but you'll not see that in the maddening Madden's take on the story.

Of course it suits the reptiles to have a defanged aunty with the cardigan wearers always with one hand tied behind back.

The pond was reminded of this line in Christopher Warren's story for Crikey, The category error behind the ABC’s latest ‘Back to the Future’ reset, There’s a good rule of thumb at the ABC: if News Corp likes what you’re doing, it’s probably the wrong thing. (* Archive link)

The ABC is in crisis — again — caught between rushing into the future and jerking back into the past. And it looks like the corporation is trying to square that circle with a Back to the Future strategic remake.
It wants to lean into the “broad” of broadcasting — twentieth-century style — through either its linear radio and television frequencies or streaming through its apps, iview and ABC Listen. In comes “premium Australian screen content”, per managing director Hugh Marks, and more “high-end programs and political documentaries”, per news director Justin Stevens.
“Marks takes ABC back to basics,” crowed The Australian in not one but two editorials, with a call that “reflects the instincts of a career spent in commercial media”.
There’s a good rule of thumb at the ABC: if News Corp likes what you’re doing, it’s probably the wrong thing.
The strategy is, in philosophical terms, a category error — the sort you get when the national broadcaster puts a commercial hammer in charge of the delicate knowledge-making network that is the ABC. All of a sudden, diffuse cultural creativity becomes just so many nails to be hammered into the planks of a mass medium.
This is a global trend across legacy media. Call it the TikTok punt: a wager that audiences will congeal around compelling quality from a few mass channels — distributed via over-the-air broadcast or over-the-top streaming — rather than the rawer, interactive real or virtual communities that shaped the social web 2.0 of the early century.

And so on and so forth, and it ends with Warren calling for the termination of Hugh Marks, who should never have been appointed, but Lordy Lordy, how time flies having fun, so it's on with the maddening Madden ...

The taxpayer-funded organisation, which enjoys close to $1.2bn a year from the public purse, supposedly has impartiality as its North Star.
But time after time after time, that concept is tossed aside by editorial staff – be they permanent or casual – who act as if their personal politics trump the key tenets of journalism.
Lattouf is a case in point. She admitted as much on the steps of the Federal Court after her legal win on Wednesday. “I was punished for my political opinion,” she said.
The inconvenient truth, of course, is that Lattouf wasn’t hired to offer her political opinion. Quite the opposite, in fact. She was employed to deliver light entertainment to ABC listeners on a morning radio show in the week leading up to Christmas.

... which, maddening Madden, was what she did, and in her own time and on another forum, passed on news from a reliable source regarding the ongoing ethnic cleansing the reptile hive mind studiously ignores ...

At this point, the reptiles interrupted with an AV distraction ... Antoinette Lattouf has won her blockbuster legal showdown with the ABC after the Federal Court ruled she was unlawfully terminated when she was taken off air.

Madden carried on in his extremely maddening way ...

It might not sit well with Lattouf, or other ABC journalists and presenters, but whether their political opinions have legitimacy or not is entirely irrelevant.
The point is, the ABC is not the platform for political activism. Full stop. End of story.
If you don’t like it, don’t work for the ABC.
But what does this whole sorry saga say about ABC management? How is it possible that senior executives in the organisation thought it appropriate to hire a presenter with a known activist bent on issues pertaining to the Middle East … in the middle of a war in the Middle East?
What could go wrong!
In his judgment, Federal Court judge Darryl Rangiah highlighted the panic at the top echelons of the ABC when Lattouf’s controversial social media post about the war in Gaza came to light.
The judge was, perhaps a little unfairly, critical of the actions of then ABC chair Ita Buttrose, whose evidence he said was, at times, “difficult to understand”.

Unfair? Ita was in fear of, and in the grip of, the Australian Zionist lobby, and the reptiles offered a snap showing the wear and tear, Ita Buttrose leaves the Federal Court after giving evidence in the Lattouf case in February. Picture: Nikki Short / NewsWire

Madden did his best to convict Lattouff, absent the actual findings ...

But in all the reported discussions between a multitude of senior ABC figures during the internal crisis around Lattouf’s appointment in December 2023, Buttrose was the person who posed the one, salient question: “How on earth did it happen that an activist has ended up hosting ABC radio?”
Managing director David Anderson reportedly replied: “I don’t know.”
Buttrose: “Whoever hired her, do they understand what the job is?”
Clearly not.
The problem at the ABC is not just that its journalists too often fail to observe impartiality in their coverage and commentary; it’s also that senior figures in the media organisation’s management don’t recognise, or refuse to acknowledge, the burning issue.
Ultimately, the court found Lattouf had been unlawfully terminated by the ABC on the grounds of “serious misconduct in circumstances where she had not engaged in serious misconduct”, an action that contravened the Fair Work Act.
It was a sound legal judgment, insofar that the ABC’s social media guidelines are so opaque that it’s hard to actually know what constitutes a breach, when so many politically dubious posts go unpunished.
And it was well established that Lattouf was “advised”, not “ordered”, to avoid posting about the conflict in the Middle East.
Lattouf didn’t cover herself in glory, but her activism shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone. The real failing lies with ABC management. The decision to hire Lattouf was reckless and incompetent.
If there’s an upside, it’s that the key ABC players in the fiasco – Anderson, Buttrose, the broadcaster’s chief content officer Chris Oliver-Taylor, and the acting head of capital city networks Steve Ahern – have since left the organisation.
ABC chair Kim Williams, who assumed the role in March 2024, and managing director Hugh Marks, who started in that position in March this year, face an enormous challenge in righting the ship.

Uh huh, that's if the maddening Madden means to enormous challenge is to stand up to the reptiles at the lizard Oz, and to defy the Australian Zionist lobby.

Meanwhile if you want to read the judgement you can find it at Crikey, Lattouf wins unlawful termination case against the ABC. Read the judgment here, Antoinette Lattouf was sacked for reasons that included her ‘political opinion opposing the Israeli military campaign in Gaza’, the court found. (*archive link, and in pdf format here).

And Daanyal Saeed offered this ...

Joyous ABC staff demand apology as court rules Antoinette Lattouf was unlawfully sacked for opinions on Gaza, ABC staff speaking to Crikey as the judgement made its way around newsrooms spoke of being ‘vindicated’, as Lattouf gave a speech outside court. (sorry paywall).

And why wouldn't they feel pleased? There's a famous old rule of thumb that applies here: if News Corp likes what you’re doing, it’s probably the wrong thing. ...

Have a relieving cartoon from the infallible Pope ...

And so to a bonus, and the pond supposes that in a desperate Thursday pinch there would have been a chance to contemplate Susssan's latest pitch ...

But the reptiles studiously ignored her ...

... and so must the pond.

Faced with this sort of biblical crisis, the pond always turns to a Mein Gott offering when caught in a lizard Oz Zionist storm ...

Mein Gott was in charmingly delusional form ...

The header: Middle East must draw on Arafat, Peres ‘partners in peace’ vision, I will never forget the day I stood with Yasser Arafat and Shimon Peres as they declared themselves ‘partners in peace’. It’s still possible, although more a hope than a likely event.

The caption for the AV distraction, which stopped punters dead in their tracks before they even started their Mein Gott read: Treasurer Jim Chalmers reacts to US President Donald Trump using swearing when asked about a momentary lapse in the Israel-Iran ceasefire. “Well, in not going to quibble that President Trump used, I think it does reflect the gravity of the situation in the Middle East and the importance of both sides adhering to this ceasefire,” Mr Chalmers told Sky News Australia. “Far be it from Australians to quibble with that kind of language; we are blunt-speaking people; we hear some blunt speak from the president, and I think that just reflects the stakes are high in the Middle East and for the global economy.”

The mystical command: This article contains features which are only available in the web version, Take me there

Mein Gott began with a wander down memory lane ...

Let me share with you a vision of hope for the Middle East and the world.
I will never forget Sunday, January 28, 2001. I found myself rubbing shoulders with the president of the Palestinians, Yasser Arafat, and the prime minister of Israel, Shimon Peres.
They had just declared themselves “partners in peace” and Arafat had spoken in English, which he rarely did. Peres shared with me and others his dream for the region, and I think that dream was shared by Arafat.
Nearly 25 years have passed, but I have never forgotten the words of the Jewish leader supported by his Palestinian counterpart and how they almost joked about the “extremists” in each other’s ranks.

Moving stuff, but Mein Gott manages to wander down the past while ignoring the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. The sort that indulged in that mindless mayhem are the fundamentalists that now run the country.

Instead the reptiles offered a snap, Shimon Peres (right), former prime minister of Israel and president of the Peres Institute for Peace, with Yasser Arafat, when he was president of the Palestinian Authority, at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris in 1997. Picture: AP

Mein Gott carried on down memory lane ...

My “rubbing shoulders” meeting took place on the Davos World Economic Forum conference floor after both leaders had addressed a gathering of world leaders from the podium. Peres explained Israel would provide the technology; the Middle Eastern oil revenues would provide the capital and the Palestinians would provide the labour. And prosperity would follow peace.
But Arafat and Peres admitted it would not be easy.
In the six months before the 2001 Davos forum, there had been deaths on both sides. Arafat conceded he had extremists in Palestinian ranks and mentioned that years earlier extremists in Israel’s ranks had shot their prime minister at the time.
It was a high point in Palestinian-Jewish relations which did not lead to the vision becoming a reality. Three years later, Arafat met a controversial death, which was never fully explained.
Other forces took control of Israel after Arafat’s death, Iranian-backed Hamas took control of Gaza, and Iran’s Hezbollah would increase its power in Lebanon.
But there, in 2001, as I stood between the Jew and the Palestinian while they shared their joint vision, Iran did not seem a serious threat. In the years that followed, it has always seemed impossible to restore the Arafat-Peres vision.
And yet in 2025 the forces that ultimately destroyed the vision – Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran – have been badly wounded. This week, just after the US bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities, I declared to my grandson that I didn’t think there would be a third world war, and part of that prediction was my memory of that encounter with Peres and Arafat.

Amazing really, foisting the entire blame on one mob and not mentioning the other mob, and failing to mention the carry on of Benji and his far right Zionist fundamentalists, intent on using the moment to produce an ethnic cleansing Adolf would admire ...

Instead, cue a snap, A satellite image shows damage at the Fordow enrichment facility after strikes in Iran on June 23. Picture: Maxar Technologies via AP

And so to wrap up the dreaming ...

The next time anything remotely like the Peres-Arafat vision was during the first Trump administration via the Abraham Accords between Israel and several Arab nations, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco.
The agreements were motivated, in part, by a perceived shared threat from Iran and a desire to counter its regional influence.
They aimed to unlock new trade and investment opportunities, encouraging economic development and prosperity in the region, but Iran was too strong.
While good will on the ground is very sparse at the moment, the Middle East is returning to a position of having a substantial amount of the world’s capital.
We saw in the war just how effective Israeli technology has become, albeit currently directed at military efforts. There are countless people in the region, particularly Palestinians, who are desperate for a better life.
All the ingredients are there to restore the Arafat-Peres vision for the region, and it can be expanded into Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Iraq, which all have under-utilised labour forces.
At this stage there are no leaders emerging to help with the process. But what must have stunned the Iranian leadership is the fact they worked so hard in establishing links with Russia and China only to find that when under attack from Israel and then later bombing from the US, Russia and China looked the other way.
The Middle East has established itself as a major international transport hub. And with abundant energy they have turned their region into a tourist hub fed by Middle Eastern airlines. There is little doubt the Middle East will house a large amount of the world’s data because of their access to gas and nuclear energy.
Returning to something like the Arafat-Peres plan is still a very long shot. But there is now a chance there will be a Gaza without Hamas, and a Lebanon with Hezbollah under control, while Egypt, Syria and Jordan need help.
And Israel now realises that had Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and Syria attacked at the same time, they could have lost their land.
In addition, we have a US that has shown its power to change the course of world events.
The ingredients are there for the Peres-Arafat vision to be realised, but it remains a hope rather than a likely event.

Dream on, Mein Gott, and perhaps after the ethnic cleansing is done, we'll have a new Riviera, so beautiful eyes will tear up.

When the pond gets on a Mein Gott jag, one is never enough, and just below the dreaming came this ...

The header: Are many university degrees out of date in the rapidly developing world of artificial intelligence? The alarm bells are ringing, with PwC noting a global survey showed that employer demand for formal degrees is declining for all jobs, but more quickly for jobs exposed to AI.

The meaningless, perhaps AI generated, advice: This article contains features which are only available in the web version, Take me there

The pond only went there to draw attention to the illustrations. Did some computer select those bland, boring visions, straight out of some PR catalogue?

So insipid, so pathetic, much like the text ...

Australian students and enterprises are starting to ask the same question: “Are many university degrees out of date in the rapidly developing world of artificial intelligence?”
And unless universities find a way to adapt to the new world, increasingly the answer to that question will be: “Yes, degrees are out of date and not worth the money.”
Already many Australian universities are struggling, often caused by bad management, weakness in the local and overseas student markets, plus cost overruns.
But if too many of their courses become seen as irrelevant, some universities will close or merge. This is a global university issue, and many universities simply don’t have the staff or skills to adapt.
The university alarm bells rang this month in New York when PwC declared that a global survey showed employer demand for formal degrees is declining for all jobs, but more quickly for jobs exposed to AI.

After that came another stock footage anodyne snap, Universities need to do more to teach students about AI. Picture: Getty Images

Sheesh, bots do better.

Offer up some alternative to that deeply insulting form of visual sludge ...

Mein Gott kept on sounding like a bot ...

The implications are profound not just for universities, but for the sections of the secondary education system that are geared to produce high Year 12 scores to gain entry to the “best” university courses.
It’s early days, but we are starting to understand what will be required of a young graduate (or non-graduate) to compete in the AI world. It will be important to recognise sometimes they will face rivals that previous student generations did not encounter. Regular vacancies were created in enterprises by retiring employees, but today’s retiring generation – the baby boomers – face longer life expectancy, which is causing many to stay working longer.
A person who retires at 60 now has a greater expectation to live to 90. For those people, a third of their life would have been in retirement, which often makes inadequate the amount they had available at age 60 for retirement. More serious for graduates, a proportion of the baby boomers are discovering that if they can harness AI, they can be more productive than graduates.
We are also starting to see some of the features of the future workforce that students will need to be prepared for. First, students must be fully aware of the magnitude of the change. In many large enterprises, head office staffing is going to be reduced by at least a third. In some cases it will be much higher.
In Australia, the public service will fight the AI change, but that will only be a delaying tactic. Already politicians are realising that reducing regulations can help redesign parts of the public service, and AI will become part of that new design.

What a utopia ...

Do go on ...

In the private sector, occupations such as financial/legal analysis and call centres will be greatly reduced.
On the other hand, the productivity of those skilfully using AI will be dramatically improved. For example, in engineering or architecture, those undertaking feasibility and other projects can increase the amount of work they perform two or threefold.
The costs fall, but the rewards to employees involved will increase. Those enterprises that match their increased productivity with extra business may actually increase their staff. For those whose businesses remain stagnant, major staff shedding will be required.
PwC says in global enterprises that are most exposed to AI, the skills that employers look for are changing 66 per cent faster compared with those least exposed to AI.
So whether you are a graduate or a retirement-delayed baby boomer aiming to work in an AI-impacted job, the first essential is to be as AI-ready as you can. University courses that don’t incorporate AI readiness will find it hard to survive.

The impression of a bot was reinforced by yet another bland, insipid stock snap, Students will have to get use to AI in the workforce. Picture: iStock

Sheesh, and here was the pond thinking that there were interesting topics ready to unfold ...

Oh there's going to be a grand time had by all when the federal government attempts to force everyone to hand over their private details to the big combines in the name of protecting the children, but don't expect Mein Gott to go anywhere near there in his final gobbet ...

Students already studying “non-AI courses” who are heading into AI-impacted occupations need to take extra studies to make themselves AI-ready. Baby boomers wanting to keep working need to do the same.
In the AI world, being able to work with others is an even more important attribute than in the past.
For privacy reasons, employers will not ask students graduating from those universities that have campuses entrenched in anti-Semitism and other racial issues how much they were “infected”, but it would make sense for graduates to volunteer that they don’t share those campus views and will work with all groups.
Given the competition, those who emphasise lifestyle and the “right to work from home” will need to be very talented unless such practices are part of the enterprise’s operational mode. Remember, the enterprises themselves will be under pressure from AI-impacted competitors trying to increase market share to match their capacity increase. Students have the potential to display a flexibility that rival baby boomers may find hard to match.
But the baby boomers and non-graduates have an advantage – understanding operations and what needs to be done. Usually, it is only when the operations are understood that AI can be harnessed to improve them.
Non-graduates who have been working, plus baby boomers, will often be better equipped to understand operations. But students might be better at devising ways of using AI to provide different services or products from the same skills base.
Educating young people to have the skills to contribute to this new world with youthful ideas will require teaching and tutorship skills that many schools and universities do not have. Educational bodies should not underestimate the task ahead.
