cpaf posted:I also like it how Morrison had just managed to legislate himself into an immigration demigod and Tony strips him of his portfolio This, the move to the Social Services portfolio is clearly to rob Morrison of any steam to aim for leadership. He's facing a hostile senate that's proven very difficult to pass any Social/Human Services legislation through and the stunt with having children call Muir is going to cost him big. The average Australian yobbo might not care about what happens to "dem browns" but as more and more Australians fall below the poverty line, you're hitting a very sizable voter base there. Jobseekers are one of the smallest areas where welfare fraud occurs, but you won't catch them going after boomers who are falsely declaring assets to cheat DHS (by far the largest portion of welfare fraud). Dutton is going to get murdered as Immigration Minister. He was pretty much a no-person as Health Minister and let Hockey and Cormann deal with selling the co-payment which went oh so well. Abbott aligning himself more with Hockey and saying they are the best economical partnership is hilarious after watching Hockey bumble like a total git for the last year and a half, managing to look embarassed and outwitted in every interview he's given. As for Kevin Andrews, lolololololol, you could replace him with a cardboard cutout and no one would notice.

Gough Suppressant posted:Cyborg cops beating up the competing gangs of students, poors, the disabled and old age pensioners. Honestly that sounds far to work for Morrsion. Far easier to just declare unemployment is now at 0% for reasons not discussable, because security something something. After that all you need to is padlock the Welfare offices. Shut downs the website and phone lines, and there you just permanently solved Australia 'welfare problem'.

Reminder that Howard promised a crackdown on welfare only for reports to show pensioners were the highest group of abusers. It was all quietly shelved. Of course this time they skipped any pretence of investigation and just launched their own ideological cuts.

Join or start a ban and play at pubs. Just don't expect to make money as a recording artist. The 20th century was a blip on the radar for that as a revenue stream.

I would have thought it's perhaps easier to make money as a musician today. There’s so many avenues for exposure that weren’t available decades ago. Gotta be easier to get pub gigs if you can go in saying yeah, I have 20k likes on FB.

yeah I was being kinda facetious, the old system was awful and having that smashed and the industry open to basically anyone now makes having your stuff heard so much easier. Still having a creative thing that is enjoyed subjectively and that you basically have to be a sales rep for to eat and not die isn't ideal either. But I'm a nihilistic gently caress and I have plenty of friends that make money from music so

A couple of goons that work in the Australian military assure me that it is in fact, the new dole. 80k year to be a dog handler, which essentially involves getting to play with a German Shepard for a few hours then sitting around all day. The only musician I know that makes a living off it plays corporate gigs and weddings in conjunction with lessons. He's a pretty cool chill dude.

At least in the organisations I usually come in to contact with. Maybe there's like some that are doing well. But yeah Federal grants having been getting smaller or just plan ceasing since the GFC. State grants would obviously depend on the state, but I assume most have had some cuts as well.

That's pretty much par for the course for any self employed services business though, especially if you intend to hold creative control. Balancing winning work against doing (billable) work is always the hardest part, especially because it results in bumpy revenue streams which can be stressful.

He's utterly demonised the poor and desperate. He's has done all this and is now considered so popular that he was seriously considered for a super-portfolio. People like Scott Morrison making GBS threads on brown people in asylum, they do not like Scott Morrison. There's a difference. hiddenmovement posted:A couple of goons that work in the Australian military assure me that it is in fact, the new dole. 80k year to be a dog handler, which essentially involves getting to play with a German Shepard for a few hours then sitting around all day. Combat Engineers get to play with dogs, there are a lot of engineers and not a lot of dogs. Your chances of getting a cruisy dog job is very very slim. Military Police also get to play with dogs, there are not a lot of MPs because every other serviceman and woman hates you. And your dog.

That ship has sailed for now, despite Abbott believing coal will continue to light the way for the Australian economy for the decades to come - it will and it won't, mining runs in cycles and we haven't seen the end of this trough and probably won't for a few years, barring some unforeseen external event (GFC style China building mass infrastructure projects to stimulate growth etc). Investment in mining continues to dwindle as we are in the production phase as the various mining companies in both iron ore and coal aim to produce record tonnages, at the lowest possible cost and whichever companies are left standing at the end of the current round of lovely commodity prices "win" until the next cycle of investment starts and we do it all again.
