Royal Australian Navy can 'work from home'.

Hahahahahah! I needed this laugh this morning after seeing the drop on Wall Street.
Could be a few old sailors from WW2 wondering  at this.

Navy chiefs have ordered a two-month shutdown over Christmas to combat a defence force staffing crisis.


All ships not deployed on operations have been ordered home for Christmas in an unprecedented step to address a shortfall of 2,020 trained personnel, Fairfax reports.

The navy will reduce the number of sailors forced to stay on board ships docked in their home port on "duty watch".

The number of sentries will be reduced, while sensors and alarms will be used to guard the ships.

All local commanders have been ordered to allow personnel affected by the ABC Learning childcare crisis more flexible working arrangements.

They will be able to work from home if necessary, until they have found alternative care.

What does this mean? Maybe sail model ships in their bathtub?

Defence relies heavily on ABC Learning for childcare services for its workers.

Thank G-d our muslim neighbours are a bunch of shit-eating, corrupt, useless, disorganised dickheads. We might be in trouble otherwise.

Yeah, but great opportunity for Fiji. They could take Australia over Christmas.

Hope the American members don't read this. Could be embarrassing if they find out that the RAN is just another union shop like the Commonwealth Railways or Main Roads.

They just put a coon the whitehouse so they can't really talk.

Machine gun practice might give the neighbours a start.
