I grappled with the word desert (was sure you didn't misspell) before found that the correct phrase was 'a just deserts'. Always thought it was 'just dessert' in the way you deserve that Black Forest.
Regarding the ethics, Caroline Norma commented on X, "This is just a golden parachute" and I'm amused by the notion that Aussie academics taught it as an example of Japanese corrupt capitalism and yet in Australia...
So, here’s a second confession - until I did my PhD, I routinely misspelled it too, and I’m sure there’s a typo still left in there: a little piece of Black Forest cake. Oops. The photos are a little joke to myself about my own fallibility.
When people are parachuted in, it does cause resentment. This is particularly the case if they have not done the things others have to do to attain that position. And whether I personally like the individual who is parachuted in is neither here nor there. As it happens, it turns out that I’m relatively indifferent to Ardern, unlike many of my friends, who have strong reactions one way or another, particularly if they have links to NZ.

An excellent piece. Thank you. From now on, whenever I feel I have been treated unfairly, will be throwing cucumbers!
I always think of the outraged capuchin now, too! Welcome to my club! I have inducted you!
