*Department of Australia is an online satire project created by Leslie Nassar. Leslie was Fake Stephen Conroy and Fake Today Tonight; he created TweeVee TV, the Twitter moderation platform that powers the on-air Tweets for ABC’s Q&A; he was a digital media officer for Victoria Police, an “emerging technology” nerd in Telstra’s chief technology office and most recently the director of Technology for Razorfish Australia.
Department of Australia @deptofaustralia
Leslie Nassar created Department of Australia (Hand-crafted, artisanal satire made from the finest Google image searches) in 2014. He was at times a games developer, a producer, a photographer, and a writer. In 2009, he was fired from Telstra for maintaining the Fake Stephen Conroy Twitter account. He occasionally appears on ABC TV’s Insiders with Mike Bowers and Talking pictures.rn rnIn addition to Department of Australia, Leslie is the co-founder of Wrangling Cats Pty Ltd, and created the software that manages the never-ending torrent of Tweets on ABC TV’s Q&A.

I love Department of Australia but one captioned pic just feels a bit light on. Works great on twitter though.
Agree with EMC This one’s a peach, but it’s not quite the gold nugget that’s worth crawling over the paywall for.
Keep digging in that sandpit.
Agree that more sandpit digging is required. Tim Wilson is clearly more concerned with appearances and phtzo ops. A bit of Brandis window dressing while the real evil lurks effaced. Cheap at $250 k a year. Piss off, Tim.
Is that why I can’t bear Tim?
Yep, with yas all emc, paddy, klewso and Dez.
Quite enjoying the process of sandpit playtime (but… sigh…. OK OK… get over him… he left…)
Another smug ‘winners are grinners’ suit at the Toadyland trough.
Shame.
I’m a supporter of discourse… preferably well-informed discourse between ‘left’ and ‘right’…
TW may have developed the intellectual capacity to be a reasoning conservative spokesperson (or is that put-a-spoke-in-it-person?) – lord knows the ‘right’ can do better than the Weasel or Blot – but off to the tax-payer’s payroll he went at the first ‘croak’ from bucket-head.
