I actually enjoy raw onion. I mean, I wouldn't take a giant bite out of one with the skin still on. But raw onion is great.

I think its just a bit too awkward for anyone to really know what to do with, which has lead to most people to just trying to forget it ever happened. So I think its not so much that people have accepted it, more just not bothered dealing with it at, and an 'ignore it, he'll be gone soon', sort of way.

Endman posted:I actually enjoy raw onion.  Anecdote A mate of mine used to have a fish and chip shop. Apparently the secret to success is to just keep cooking some onion. Humans are drawn to the smell like moths to the flame. Unlikely to work for brain damaged PMs but the human lust for onion runs deep.

my stepdads beer posted:What's the rules on unions in workplaces? Can a better union than the SDA start up in the same workplaces? In our IR system, employees have the right to represent themselves in bargaining (even when a collective agreement is being negotiated), nominate a representative to bargain for them or become a member of a trade union and via that membership appoint a trade union to bargain for them - called, handily enough, representational rights. Most of the coverage rules are contained in Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 but essentially they are a product of history and they sometimes shift because of disputes between unions that most commonly arise on multi-union sites. Relevant example here is SDA v NUW at the Woolies distribution centre in Brisbane in 2012. SDA applied to FWC for an order for exclusive representation ie they wanted to kick NUW out. SDA's application was dismissed and both unions operated on the site. Unions will also sometimes agree on site or employer specific coverage 'tweaks' where it makes sense ie if you have a site that's got 1000+ employees on it and the vast majority are covered by one Union, it generally makes more sense for the handful of other workers to also come under that union's coverage. 'Better' unions starting up on a site is one of the selling points Torys use when trying to get people to swallow the idea of competitive unionism. It would be very bad for workers if competitive unionism was allowed. To answer another question about voting, the SDA has essentially agreed with the peak retail busines council in South Australia a template approach to erode penalty rates in workplaces. Technically there is no Agreement yet hence no need to vote. What the SDA has done is loving disgraceful, but, I'm guessing they've actually tackled a key issue for their membership. The reality is that the vast majority of SDA members are likely to be full-time, day workers who generally work Monday to Friday in big retailers (because part-timers, casuals, etc rarely join unions). If the template ultimately gets applied to them and/or influences salaries in the market in which they work, well, it's good for them and gently caress everyone else. And that is a good example of why everyone needs to join their union AND why all union members need to be activist members. Union officials working with an activist membership would never, ever attempt anything like the fuckers at SDA. Also, whoever posted about their mate trying to change the SDA from within, that's almost as funny as changing the ALP from within. SDA send their officials to Christian camp, for gently caress sake.

It could be organised through Facebook groups or a mailing list. Contact your branch convenor or secretary to see if they can hook you up with the social circuit, or if you're 30 or under the QLD Young Greens are there too. http://qld.greens.org.au/branches https://www.facebook.com/qldyg

Graic Gabtar posted:Completely OT but I'd be interested in any follow up thoughts you had on you power privatization piece. At its core, my position is pretty simple. Companies, like governments, can't be trusted to do the right thing on their own. After all, that's the whole point of a bicameral legislature and an independent judiciary - it acknowledges the fact that people can be really scummy and we need to keep an eye on them, especially when they hold our well-being in their hands. In a democracy, 'we the people' have ways of punishing governments who do the wrong thing. Sadly, not so much when it comes to the big companies. Things like power, water, sewerage, healthcare, education, prisons, roads and communications should be in the hands of publicly elected officials. At the very least, their backbones should be, with companies handling the smaller day to day stuff, where appropriate.

Pickled Tink posted:This is just making me more and more depressed. I'm allergic to that crap, and this may help explain why every manufacturer stuffs garlic and onion into loving everything, including stuff that shouldn't have loving onion in it (Like canned tomatoes). My shopping trips take three to four times as long these days because I have to check the ingredients of everything for the tiny garlic/onion small print, and some manufacturers are complete and utter shits and don't list it either, so I'm taking a risk either way. You know you can buy actual tomatoes not in a tin at a supermarket or grocer?

Tinned stuff is heaps cheaper, stores longer, and is perfectly adequate for casseroles and sauces and stuff.
