If you spent 2025 doomscrolling policy announcements, procurement panels and “historic” photo ops, congratulations: you already did half our editorial planning.
Over in the Gammon satire section, we kept the tone straight‑faced (think The Onion-style deadpan and The Shovel’s no‑nonsense delivery) while the premises did the heavy lifting. Here’s what you clicked, shared and sent to your group chat with the caption “no notes”.
1) NIAA opens Indigenous graduate program to all (but applicants must prove they’re not Indigenous) A corporate diversity plot twist so crisp it practically came with a lanyard.
2) Reconciliation Australia names “Innovator of the Year” – a law firm billing $45 million for Indigenous justice Because nothing says “innovation” like an invoice you can hear from across the nation.
3) Prue MacSween congratulates Sean Armistead on a White Ally Award A celebration of allyship so loud it needed its own microphone and manager.
4) The NIAA congratulatory conga – breaking news exclusive Breaking: the press release was first. The applause arrived five minutes early.
5) Keith Windschuttle and the fabrication of Australian history – an Indigenous tribute A love letter to the history wars, sealed with a polite, pointed side‑eye.
6) Breaking: NSW Government solves Indigenous economic inequality with another meeting A solution so bold it has agenda items, minutes, and a follow‑up meeting to schedule the next meeting.
If you laughed, winced or recognised your own workplace templates, that’s the point…
Share your favourite, tag the colleague who’s always “just circling back” and we’ll see you this year for the next round of straight‑faced nonsense.
