The government has banned the onesie and ugg boots at work

Let’s all spare a thought for Australia’s public servants who have today been dealt a harsh blow in the wardrobe department.

“I couldn’t imagine that many people would be rocking up to work in Ugg boots?”

asked a departmental head to the committee.
