No more mates

NewstalkZB reports:

NSW government ministers have been reportedly told to avoid using the word “mate” as part of new workplace behaviour advice. 

The Daily Telegraph revealed on Sunday ministers undertook Respect at Work training sessions during the week. 

Perrottet government ministers were advised not to use the word “mate”, ban drinking alcohol in the office and not to yell at staff. 

“I use ‘mate’ all the time – it’s as ­Australian as you can get. How can it be offensive?” one minister told The Daily Telegraph. 

Some people who attended described the training as “PC insanity” with other unnamed ministers also criticising the course.

No doubt coming here soon!
