    So Apparently It's Inappropriate To Wear A Onesie And Ugg Boots To Work In Parliament

    If you can't go to work for the Commonwealth of Australia dressed as Pikachu then where the hell can you??

    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.

    "I guess in the old days you would have called it a boiler suit of some description," he told the committee.

    Do you see our glorious Queen Miley performing in a unicorn BOILER SUIT?

    If this woman turned up to work at Parliament today she would be told to go home and change her outfit!!!

    And if that doesn't convince you, here's an artist's impression of immigration minister Peter Dutton in a Superman onesie.
