The passing of Christopher Hood is very sad and a great loss for the field of public administration. I can't think of a scholar who has been a bigger inspiration for my own work.
The Editorial Board of Public Administration is sad to hear of the passing of Professor Christopher Hood. I am thinking of the legacy of Professor Hood today and re-reading "A Public Management for All Seasons?". doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9299.…

Remember, we spend more on superannuation fees than electricity.
Much talk about energy prices, generation and the cost of living. Worth remembering our electricity budget share is 2.36% (ABS CPI) which is similar to beer but less than takeaway meals or restaurants or superannuation fees.

"The choice of a prince’s ministers is a matter of no little importance; they are either good or not according to the prudence of the prince. The first impression that one gets of a ruler and of his brains is from seeing the men that he has about him." - Machiavelli

Everyone says we're in a housing crisis - check out how @Cosmo_Howard and I analyzed exactly what that meant to our political parties, and what should be done about it in recent parliamentary speeches open access in @JSP_Journal cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Out now in @JSP_Journal with @pandanus_petter open access! We ask if crisis narratives support redistribution, focusing on Australian #housing policy during #COVIDー19. We find party ideology and incumbency interact to shape support for redistribution. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.
