Hey Mickey?

Not that I’m aware of? Technically the king/queen is head of state and that term is until death, can’t get much longer than that.

Agreed that PM is different, they don’t weild the same power the US president does. But in terms of time, Robert Menzies was pm for a total of 18 years and John Howard was pm for 12, so you can be for a long time. Politics have just been much less stable in the last 20 years.

It probably depends how much fractional power and money is behind the PM. John Howard was PM for a decade after all.

Well Australia doesn’t have a president. But in theory there’s nothing stopping someone from being prime minister for infinite time, provided their party doesn’t stab them in the back or their party doesn’t lose the election.

TIL Australia is not a sane democracy.

Honestly, reducing the teaching + publish-or-perish + the constant need to apply for grants would go a long way towards fixing the review process. Academics have to spend a lot of time doing a lot of non-academic work that peer reviewing properly sometimes gets pushed down the list of priorities.

I think the YouTuber Professor Dave just did some videos about her encouraging science denialism. The podcast Decoding the Gurus has also done an episode on her with similar commentary, “good science communicator but also encourages denialism” is the tldr.

/j on swimming. Realistically you can get away with any skills, though I always liked pistols since you can scope/laser sight the standard pistol and run around headshotting everything.

GEP gunning everything is also hilarious.

The secret is to level the swimming skill exclusively.
