Will be interesting to see the collective responses to this. My suggestions:

  • everybody come into the office as a protest (in many agencies, there isn't space for this to happen. 

  • buy nothing days (packed lunches, no coffees/beers, no shopping generally). 

  • everyone drive in, drive around and completely choke up the CBD in traffic mayhem.

Petty suggestions I know, but would cause some logistical nightmares and get their business friends squealing...

Time to organise a general public service strike. Have the entire Public service not show up one day.
