Australia's Politicians Appear To Be Wasting Millions Booking Crazy Expensive Airfares

BuzzFeed News looks into how MPs are spending nearly $1 million/month on domestic flights.

Backbench MPs appear to be booking really expensive domestic flights, which an expert claims is costing the Australian taxpayer extra millions every year.

BuzzFeed News spoke to a nerdy procurement consultant who argued that the biggest waste of money coming out of Australia's travel expenses scandal is not the private charters or the family business class holidays (although that is undoubtedly a problem) but on the every day domestic routes.

Simon Thompson scraped all the MP flight data from the Department of Finance from July to December last year (the data set can be found here.)

He found amongst the 10,000 flights from Australia's 226 politicians, MPs were making lazy mistakes, appearing to book the expensive "flexible" flights when they could save up 20-50% flying on the "saver" deals.

"There is serious money being wasted here!" he said to BuzzFeed News, adding that someone would lose their job if a private company was wasting this kind of cash.

58 Thoughts Medical Students Have At The Start Of Final Year

0
0

What do I do if a patient adds me on Facebook?

Flickr: proimos

1. This is it. I'm in my final year of uni.

2. How many years have I even been here? 5? 6? 7?

3. Did I even do a Bsc? At this stage, I don't know. The years have just blurred together.

4. Either way, I've been studying for way too long. People have graduated, got jobs, got married, and popped out their first kid in the time I've been here.

5. And I'm not even done. I still have one year left.

6. Most people will probably have at least two kids by the time I left.

7. Including people who are younger than me.

8. But at least it means I don't have to be a doctor yet.

9. I don't know how to be a doctor.

10. What am I supposed to do if a patient collapses in front of me? The ABC approach? I don't actually really get the ABC approach.

11. I feel sorry for my future patients.

12. My future patients whose lives will literally be in my hands.

13. I still don't know how to read an X-Ray.

14. I freak out every time I have to take blood from someone.

15. I can't even fill out a drug chart or prescribe medications.

16. I'm not ready for this.

17. But at least I'll finally start getting paid.

19. Even thought all my non-medic friends will be making loads more than me. Stupid NHS.

20. I cannot wait to go on elective and experience other health care systems.

21. And travel.

22. Mostly travel. I'll fit in a bit of elective on the side.

23. I really need to sort out my elective.

24. I don't even know how to do that, though. What's this FPAS thing that people keep mentioning?

25. And wtf is the Situational Judgement Test? After all these years of hard work, one exam is going to determine half of my application? This is bullshit.

26. I can't revise for this. The questions are stupid. What am I meant to do if a patient adds me on Facebook? IDK, THIS IS NOT THE FACTUAL SCIENCE THAT I AM USED TO REVISING.

27. How am I meant to plan my life if I don't even know where I'll be based next year?

28. I could end up in the middle of nowhere. I could end up in Wales.

29. Think of all the weddings I'd miss if I lived in Wales.

30. Why is everyone suddenly getting married btw? Did you all make some kind of pact that I missed out on?

31. I'm getting sidetracked. I need to focus on revising for finals, aka just learning the whole of frickin' medicine.

32. This isn't even about the exam. It's about my actual career.

33. I need to be able to pick up signs without a doctor already telling me that there's some kind of pathology.

34. If I can't pick up signs, I won't be able to diagnose a patient and I'll get sued.

35. Looks like I'll spend most of my time on wards "sign-hunting" then.

36. I hate having to introduce myself as a final year student to patients.

37. "Omg how long have you been at uni then? 5 years? 6? 7?"

38. And I hate having to tell the consultant that I'm a final year student because then they expect me to actually know stuff.

39. I can hardly still stand there like, "I don't know, I'm just a student."

40. And the surgeons expect me to be able to do stuff too. I can't get away with standing around on my phone in theatre anymore.

41. Why does every doctor ask me what speciality I'm going into? Is "FY1" not a valid answer?

42. And why does every consultant talk about how I should consider their speciality?

43. I haven't even considered what I'm having for dinner tonight, let alone which speciality I'm going into.

44. I remember getting excited at the prospect of using a stethoscope.

45. And taking blood.

46. Even just talking to a patient seemed exciting when I was a fresher.

47. I remember looking at final year students and thinking, "Wow they've been here forever."

48. I bet thats how freshers look at me now: "Look at that golden oldie who is still hanging around uni. How pathetic."

49. I remember when I had the energy to do all nighters like them.

50. I can barely stay up past 11pm now.

51. I get exhausted by doing a full week of firms. How will I be able to handle doing a full week of nights?

52. Or being on-call?

53. Or working for 10 days straight?

54. I'm going to miss waking up, looking at my clock, and just thinking "not today" before going back to sleep.

55. I won't even be able to duck out of night shifts anymore.

56. It'll be OK though. This is the final hurdle. I can do this.

57. After all these years, I'm finally going to become a doctor.

58. Seriously though: Good luck to all of my future patients.

I Confronted The Man Who Fooled Me (And Millions Of Strangers) With Diane In 7A

Getty

It was Thanksgiving 2013, and I was fixated on Twitter. Specifically, on a string of irate tweets from a reality TV producer named Elan Gale, who was on a plane en route from New York to his home in Los Angeles.

“Our flight is delayed,” he started. “A woman on here is very upset because she has Thanksgiving plans. She is the only one obviously. Praying for her." Gale was venting to his 30,000 followers about a woman, seated behind him in seat 7A, who was being rude to a flight attendant on board. And Gale was getting increasingly irritated. “She had to sit down because we took off. She has been muttering ‘about DAMN time’ and I can hear her breathing from 5 rows back.”

After about 90 minutes, he finally worked up the courage to send her a handwritten note.

“Dear Lady in 7A,” he wrote on a coaster, the letters hurried and messy. “It has come to my attention that today is your ‘Thanksgiving!’ It must be hard to not be with your family!

Please accept this glass of wine, it is a gift from me to you. Hopefully if you drink it, you won’t be able to use your mouth to talk!

Love elan”

She sent an irritated reply, igniting a back-and-forth on spare coasters and scraps of paper — which Gale snapped pictures of and posted to Twitter, in real time.

Two months earlier, I had moved to New York City from a quiet neighborhood in Boston to be BuzzFeed’s weekend editor, working with a skeleton crew of reporters and writing breaking news posts about everything from the terrorist attack in Kenya’s Westgate Mall to stories emerging on social media other outlets might miss. Gale’s story was the kind of entertaining curiosity that I knew would translate to viral gold: an unlikely battle between a scruffy, twentysomething anti-hero and a middle-aged woman in mom jeans and a surgical mask. It was like a fight between bickering kids in a classroom — except the classroom was a massive tin can filled with strangers hurtling through the sky.

Hundreds of people had tweeted to their friends to follow Gale, but the story had yet to break out from its social media incubator. I neglected to set the dinner table so I could toss all of Gale’s tweets into a post, topping it off with the headline “This Epic Note-Passing War On A Delayed Flight Won Thanksgiving.” When I published, my story became the first of dozens over the next couple of days — including articles from outlets like ABC News and CNN — to feature Gale’s catfight at 30,000 feet. Peeking at my phone under the table, I watched the story's views explode, my Twitter mentions spinning as thousands shared the link to my post, which eventually hit 1.5 million views. By the next morning, Gale had gained 130,000 Twitter followers.

Little did Gale or I know that over the next few days the story would become a roller coaster of hero worship and outrage. Gale and Diane's feud was seen by millions of people who read one of the dozens of stories about it. The hashtags #TeamElan and #DianeCanEatMyD were tweeted by everyone from anonymous Twitter eggs to celebrities like fellow flight-attendant-offender Alec Baldwin, who called Gale’s antics “so f#%*ing funny.”

After the initial hype, the conversation took a turn: Journalist Rebecca Carroll called Gale the “quintessential I-can-say-what-I-want-delusional-white-intellectually-free-hipster-man.” His behavior was “manipulative, misogynistic and self-aggrandising,” another blog added. Mediaite put it simply: “Of course it’s sexism.” People started pointing out how unbelievable the saga's details sounded. “Nothing about Gale’s story passes the smell test,” wrote Daniel D’Addario in Salon. “‘How does he know that “Diane’ is ‘breathing through her teeth’ if she is ‘wearing a medical mask over her idiot face’?” On a widely shared Storify page, someone claimed that “Diane” was his cousin, and she had Stage 4 small cell lung cancer. “Certainly everybody wanted to get where they were going, but perhaps she can be forgiven for thinking that her need was more pressing than most,” the person wrote. A handful of outlets picked up the cancer story, too.

At the time, I didn’t know that Gale had a knack for making up elaborate stories on social media. On multiple occasions, for instance, he claimed to be tweeting from a restaurant bathroom during a brutal first date — when he was really just hanging out alone at his apartment in Santa Monica.

On Thanksgiving 2013, however, Gale really was tweeting from the front row of a flight out of New York. He had, in fact, scribbled out an angry note to a woman he overheard berating a flight attendant. He just never gave it to her.

Around 9 p.m. on Dec. 2, Gale announced on Twitter that he would reveal Diane’s identity in 15 minutes. For the last few days this juggernaut of a story had taken over my world, and whatever happened next seemed like it was going to change everything. When he finally posted his confession, it was a picture of an empty chair. “Here is Diana,” he wrote, spelling the nonexistent woman's name wrong for good measure.

“Goddamnit,” I said out loud to my empty apartment. “Fuck. Fuck.”

I cautiously wrote a new post. “Gale took to Twitter tonight and seemed to confess it was all a big lie,” I said. “You got us, Elan!”

Shortly after publishing, Gale tweeted at me: “I did not say it was all a big lie.” And again, the next day: “I’m still waiting for my apology.” Apology for what? I thought defensively. Inadvertently turning him into an internet celebrity? (The apology tweet has since been deleted).

The day after his confession now feels like a blur of angsty I told you sos. At Slate, columnist Dave Weigel put the blame on me, writing that if I worked at a small newspaper, I’d have been fired. For months I’d get snidely teased online about the whole ordeal. The Washington Post’s Caitlin Dewey dubbed 2013 the year of the internet hoax, adding that it was also “the year the media decisively elevated social media phenomena, real or imagined, to the level of actual news.”

A few days after Gale’s reveal, my boss texted me that we needed to talk. When I called her, she said that the New York Times wanted to know if I ever reached out to Gale.

“Not really,” I said, feeling lightheaded. “I tweeted at him a couple times.”

I didn’t lose my job, but my anxiety about having been exposed lingered, along with the nagging paranoia that I would slip up again; a normal workday would be interrupted by the quiet fear that people were waiting for me to fail. Comments lobbed my way online didn’t help. And Gale, I knew, harbored his own grudge against me, though I didn’t really know why. I was anxious, guilty, and resentful; a big part of me wanted to know if he felt weird about any of this, too. I began to fantasize about sitting face-to-face with him. And it didn't go away, even long after anyone else stopped caring.

Over email, Gale agreed to meet as long as I was willing to have an “open and honest” discussion. “As you may or may not know, I take some issue with your coverage of the Diane incident,” he wrote. My anxiety ballooned.

Gale, now 31, shuffled into the sterile, empty hotel cafe in Times Square wearing turquoise pants and a tattered brown corduroy blazer. A waterfall of silver necklaces hung down his chest. He mentioned he’d been working at his reality show until dawn that morning but didn't want me to name the show in this piece.

Gale slumped in his chair. I asked him to tell me about that day from the beginning. A stack of bracelets clacked on his wrist as he heaved forward, recalling how worked up he got on the flight when he heard a woman complaining to the flight attendants, how entitled she sounded.

He told me how he opened up a blank tweet, attached a photo of the note he’d written— which would never go further than his folding tray — and sent it out into the world.

“I just started having fun,” Gale said. “And I was like, this is really, really fun.”

Growing up in West L.A. as the baby of the family, Gale loved watching professional wrestling, thriving over the juxtaposition between the heroes and villains. He created his Twitter persona, The Year of Elan, to exercise his alter ego: a bombastic character with all the irrational, in-your-face qualities he doesn’t quite possess. Gale may admit he’s “a little bit of a dick” in life, but he’d never actually confront someone like the woman who inspired Diane. The Year of Elan would’ve done it, he said. Did do it.

“It's a coping mechanism,” he explained, sounding sentimental. “It's the humor in place of sadness, it's the brashness in place of insecurity. … He's a dick. But he's unafraid. For better or worse.”

In person, he danced between pointed conviction and boisterous laughter, sometimes chuckling hoarsely at himself; he’s self-deprecating, but with the kind of charisma that draws you in. And he seemed to mirror my desire to see how the person I’d built up in my mind would line up with the actual human behind the computer screen that day. “We have an entire relationship that exists in my head and in your head and is only today having any real reality to it,” he said. Despite myself, I began to trust him.

It only took about 20 minutes for us to start clashing. After I instinctively referred to the incident as a hoax, Gale got defensive, insisting it was anything but. He prefers to call it a “fictional story.” Whenever I slipped and said the word he got mildly irritated, launching into an elaborate rumination on the definition of truthfulness. Because a hoax implies deliberate deceit; to Gale, he was writing a narrative for entertainment — what he already does for a living as a reality television producer.

“It's like going to the movies,” he insisted. “It's not about whether you believe it or not. It's not about whether Gone Girl really happened, you know what I mean? It's about whether you're enjoying it.”

Gale is far from the first person to pass off a story as fact on social media; it is part of our daily lives at this point. In some ways, we’re more skeptical than ever: Just as quickly as YouTubers Sam and Nia’s pregnancy and miscarriage announcements went viral earlier this month, people began raising doubts over their veracity. But we still make mistakes. In March, a 19-year-old aspiring comedian named Morgan Jefferis deliberately tricked the New York Times. When a reporter solicited for teenagers who smoke e-cigarettes on Twitter, it annoyed Jefferis; he found it unprofessional. So he came up with a fake name and email address, which he used to reach out to the reporter, writing he was “a teen and I love to vape what’s up.” The paper published his quotes on its front page.

Jefferis thought the whole ordeal would be entertaining, even if he felt a little bad after the writer was so nice to him. Although he used the pseudonym “LeVar Burzum” on his popular Twitter account @drugleaf (since changed to @weedhitler), he hoped the Times stunt would give his generally anonymous real-life persona a bit of recognition.

“I know it’s a terrible thing to say, but it’s a great feeling to be able to look at something like that and go out and say, ‘Yeah, I did that,’” he said. (After Jefferis gave me his name, I reviewed his driver's license and the public records database Nexis. I knew he might want to mislead a reporter again.)

I’m grateful to Gale, in a way, for giving me an early stab at making what hopefully will be my biggest mistake. At the age of 23, the chastising crested over me and then, just as quickly, I was spit out dry. Even the Times, ultimately, didn’t use my name. I like to think our collective gullibility helped to usher in something of an end to those overly trustful Wild West days of the internet. My co-worker Michael Rusch, who got tricked by both of Jimmy Kimmel’s painstakingly crafted viral video hoaxes, put it well what the new reality is for writers who have gotten burned: “It’s something I think about each time I touch a story like this, even to this day: Is it worth trading in my credibility for this?

And creative people like Gale don’t just lie down after the first taste of virality. He told me he’s created plenty of other online projects. He proudly admitted that he writes Texts From Your Ex, an Instagram account that claims to collect "REAL texts from REAL exes." The account has 1.5 million followers and a book coming out this fall.

“Here's the fun thing about me,” he said with a grin. “You'll never know what things out there I'm secretly doing in my spare time. There's more. There's all kinds of stuff out there.”

"In the fall of 2013 (when I was 13 years old), I came home one day from school and read a news story about a 11-year-old girl that had jumped off the town's water tower as a result of repeated cyberbullying," Prabhu said to BuzzFeed.

"How can a girl younger than myself be pushed to take her own life?" she said. "I was shocked, heart-broken and angry to learn about this incident and set out to find a long-term solution to cyberbullying. I knew I had to do something to stop this from ever happening again. Research shows that over 50% of adolescents online are cyberbullied, 38% suffer from suicidal tendencies. Victims suffer from depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and are afraid to go to school the following day."

According to Prabhu, people who have used the app have reconsidered their decision more than 93% of the time.

Popular ABC Family show Pretty Little Liars has come under fire for referring to a transgender character as "He. She. It." on social media.

Eric Mccandless / ABC Family

Pretty Little Liars is about five teenage girls – Spencer, Hanna, Emily, Aria and Alison – who are stalked, harassed, and taunted by an anonymous person known only as "A". The show is in its sixth season.

In the mid-season finale earlier this month, it was revealed that "A" is a transgender woman named CeCe Drake, who is the long-lost sibling of Alison.

Some fans were upset with the reveal, criticising the show for playing into a long-running pop culture trope of transgender characters exhibiting sociopathic behaviour.

The official Pretty Little Liars account posted this tweet on Monday night. It was quickly deleted after attracting criticism.
