In what appears to be some seriously Stalinesque, 1984 style, freedom-hating bullshit, staff at the federal government's department of immigration have been told they can no longer wear onesies and ugg boots to work.
A Senate budget estimates hearing was told by immigration department secretary Mike Pezzullo that he had to put the dress code guidelines in place after staff came to work wearing outfits deemed too casual.
Pezzullo said he was asked to make a ruling "around something called the wearing of onesies".
The immigration department's Jan Dorrington told the Senate committee "There are certain things that wouldn't constitute professional business dress and that would be things like jeans, thongs, ugg boots and so on,"
Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young replied "I couldn't imagine that many people would be rocking up to work in ugg boots."
"Ah, you'd be surprised, Senator," Ms Dorrington said.
AND THEN Mike Pezzullo admitted that he didn't even know what a onesie was.
"I had to be shown pictures of such garb," he admitted.
