Public Servants, Before Today, Were Allowed To Wear Onesies To Work


And once again, we have reminded the world that this is, in essence, what the Australian government is actually like:

Completely ignoring the saying ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’, The Department of Immigration has, from today, banned employees from wearing onesies and ugg boots to work. 

If you are slightly confused, don’t feel bad – so are we. Was there an overload of public servants waking up in the morning and saying, ‘What should I wear to work today? Maybe I’ll just fuck it up fam,’ and then deciding that a onesie would be the best possible way to do that. 
Apparently in the Senate, a major discussion occurred where the definition of a onesie had to be explained to certain Senators.
According to the ABC, Queensland Liberal Senator Ian MacDonald asked Immigration Department Secretary Mike Pezzullo to share his onesie knowledge.

“Tell me what it is so we all know,” the senator said.

“Ah, I had to put it out of my head very quickly, Senator,” Mr Pezzullo replied. “I guess in the old days you would have called it a boiler suit of some description.”

Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, being a normal sane human, decided to bring up the point that maybe there wasn’t a need for this farfetched conversation, saying, “I couldn’t imagine that many people would be rocking up to work in ugg boots.” But everyone else disagreed with her, because ~too logical~, stating that she ‘might be surprised’. 
So there you have it folks – we now have to have rules in place, because a human adult, who probably gets paid far, far more than you, may have decided to wear a onesie and ugg boots to a government workplace. 
If we could all put some manpower into finding out who it was, that’d be great. We’d really like to have a beer with them.
