How you can be NIMBY in a housing commission suburb is hilarious though.

Five people have been arrested in a series of counter-terrorism raids across Sydney's west early on Wednesday morning that police say are linked to the fatal shooting outside NSW Police's Parramatta headquarters last week. A 16-year-old boy is among those arrested in the raids, which were carried out about 6am at homes in Merrylands, Guildford, Wentworthville and Marsfield. All of the five males arrested were aged 24 years or younger. Police said the males had been taken to various police stations in Sydney and were being questioned over the execution of Curtis Cheng, who was shot in the head outside the Parramatta police building on Friday afternoon. About 200 police officers were involved in Wednesday morning's raids at Bursill Street in Guildford, Lane Street in Wentworthville, Lockwood Street in Merrylands, and Booth Street in Marsfield. Those arrested are a 16-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man from Wentworthville; a 22-year-old man and a 24-year-old man from Merrylands; and, a 22-year-old man from Marsfield. The arrests were made as part of a joint investigation by NSW Police, officers from the Homicide Squad and Australian Federal Police. Mr Cheng, an accountant who had worked for NSW Police for 17 years, was leaving work about 4.30pm on Friday when 15-year-old gunman Farhad Khalil Mohammad Jabar shot him in the back of the head. A special constable then shot and killed Farhad, a Year 10 student from the nearby Arthur Phillip High School. Farhad's playground connections had become a key focus for authorities who were trying to piece together the quiet teen's sudden radicalisation. He was a talented basketball player and considered the best in the school's under-15s team, however he became distant in the weeks before the end of the last school term, a classmate said.

Three of the four homes raided by counter-terrorism police on Wednesday morning were also targeted in sweeping pre-dawn raids in September 2014. More than 200 police have raided homes in Guildford, Wentworthville, Merrylands and Marsfield as part of the investigation into the death of police accountant Curtis Cheng, 58, at Parramatta last Friday afternoon. One of the targeted men spoke to Fairfax Media on Tuesday night, just hours before his home in Wentworthville was raided by heavily armed police. The 22-year-old, who cannot be named, has a 16-year-old brother who was in the same year at Arthur Phillip High as teen gunman Farhad Khalil Mohammad Jabar. The 16-year-old student was arrested last year, when he was just 14, for driving past a Christian school in Harris Park, yelling death threats and flying an Islamic State flag. When Fairfax Media asked the 22-year-old in an interview via Facebook on Tuesday night about his younger brother's connection to Jabar, he fired back, saying the killing of Muslims around the world was more important than Mr Cheng's death. "Why don't you do something useful?" he said. "And talk about real events occurring in Palestine. The killing of Muslims all ova the world [sic]. The oppressions in Burma, Palestine." The 22-year-old was detained during Operation Appleby raids in 2014 but was later released without charge. On Wednesday, his younger brothers, aged 16 and 18, were arrested following the second raid on their family apartment in Lane Street, Wentworthville. The home raided in Bursill Street, Guildford, on Wednesday is believed to be the family home of Omarjan Azari, 23, who was arrested in September 2014 for allegedly planning a terrorist act. Police allege he had a phone call with Mohammad Ali Baryalei, Australia's most senior member of the terrorist group Islamic State, and was told to pluck a random person off the street and behead them. The home raided in Booth Street, Marsfield, is home to 22-year-old Mustafa Dirani, who was also detained during the Operation Appleby raids in 2014, but not charged. Among the items seized from his family home last year was a sword, which Mr Dirani said was a common house decoration made from plastic. The Australian Federal Police have refuted that, saying it was a legitimate weapon. Mr Dirani was arrested on Wednesday morning and taken to a police station to be interviewed. Two men, aged 22 and 24, were also arrested following a raid on a home in Lockwood Street, Merrylands. All five men have been taken to various police stations to be interviewed in relation to Friday's fatal shooting, a police statement said.

The rise of Skynet wasn't because it took over with force it was because it was a more humane option. The platform of "I may be a soulless robot but at least I understand economics" was a surprisingly compelling one. Actually if skynet's aim was "build the biggest economy possible" I'd imagine its policies would be considered pretty left wing.

Australia’s opposition to the creation of a body to help people escaping the ravages of climate change appears to have paid off, with the idea dropped from the draft agreement for the crucial UN climate talks in Paris. A previous draft of the deal to be thrashed out by nations included a “climate change displacement coordination facility” that would provide “organised migration and planned relocation”, as well as compensation, to people fleeing rising sea levels, extreme weather and ruined agriculture. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/oct/07/un-drops-plan-to-create-group-to-relocate-climate-change-affected-people

So there's movement on the penalty rates thing in Canberra, and one of the ideas floated about it is offering a tax adjustments to compensate for the reduction in penalty rates. In principle, this means that the onus on providing more cash for working weekends, public holidays, long hours and shfit work shifts from the business itself to the state. If it is crafted properly, it means that we as a society, through the state, compensate people for working those hours, rather than the business or organisation itself. One of the ideas mentioned is a tax credit, rebate or deduction, which means the worker who would normally get a penalty rate instead gets a reduction in the amount of tax they pay for working those hours. If the worker is below the tax free threshold, the only way this would work is if that were a tax rebate rather than a deduction or offset. The devil is in the details obviously, but if it's crafted in a way that there's no short or long term net loss to the workers involved then shifting the social aspect of wages and compensation from business to "society" (as in the tax system) could in effect mean we are all subsidising weekend workers rather than just the organisations who operate at those times.
