Doctor Spaceman posted:So the ABC was pressuring a journo into not writing about the NBN? An American friend of mine heard about this before I did. He had to ask what the NBN was before telling me someone was being forced not to write about it. I don't think there's enough left in the NBN to give much of a poo poo, and I doubt any dirt from this is going to do anything just because Turnbull's so non-stick you could sell him as kitchenware, but I'm sure whatever this is will at least be worth hearing. Anidav posted:I think a lot of people my age feel the same way about things. Yeah, quite frankly if you're in your twenties in Australia and don't have a general feeling of 'gently caress it, just gently caress IT' that flares up occasionally, you're the one that warrants concern.

Here's the NBN stuff. It was pretty obvious it was happening at the time but good to have it confirmed I guess. "ABC tech editor claims broadcaster “gagged” his NBN coverage posted:
Also apparently the ABC no longer has a Technology and Games sub-section. I'm sure many dozens shall mourn.

Lid posted:There is piss taking, but there is also being able to tell when someone isn't the normal kind of not right. I straight up hosed up yesterday when I commented on Anidav's use of alcohol with a joke about using a depressant but it's pretty clear since that this isn't a joke and that the kids in trouble. Sorry about lashing out but I have a real trigger for when people don't take mental illness seriously and with half the guys telling Anidav to get serious help while the other half are kicking him. Hello I take mental illnes very, very seriously Anidav posted:I think a lot of people my age feel the same way about things. agreed

It was originally 6+6+6 (although theoretically the final 6 were only if condition had worsened), then when they changed it to 6+4 they were persuaded to keep it as 6+6 for the rest of that year (2012). *source: actually a psychologist. Also worked admin for a private practice for 4 years around the time the Better Access scheme started.

Never mind that research suggests that highest efficacy of therapy is with 20 sessions with less frequent top ups on an ongoing basis. Or it might have been double that, I forget. Anyway, people other than beancounters show that what is given is nowhere near enough.

Yep, I remember hearing at the time that 6 had been picked because it was the average number of sessions (which would include those who went for a single session and never returned), rather than because of any evidence about recovery.

Like all cuts of this type, six was picked because it was the lowest number they thought they could get away with.

The European Court of Human Rights this week held there was no violation of an employee's right to privacy after his employer read his instant messages. Romanian engineer Bogdan Barbulescu was asked to create a Yahoo instant messenger account to answer clients' queries. The court held the company's monitoring of Barbulescu's communications with his brother and fiancee was reasonable in the context of disciplinary proceedings and was not a breach of his human rights. Australian legal experts say employees in Australia should be aware employers can also monitor their communications they make using messaging apps such as Yahoo Messenger, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. Tim Wilson, Australia's Human Rights Commissioner, says the decision of the European court has no legal impact in Australia, but like most discussions around human rights, the right to privacy is contextual. "If emails account or phones are established for work purposes, or are accessed through work systems, they can be supervised by employers," he says. "If communications are strictly personal then monitoring by employers would be a violation of an individual's right to privacy."

HookShot posted:It is when they only do it because of your race. On the other hand - and playing Devil's advocate because I handled this exact issue for Coles - I think it'd be difficult to find people of other races doing this. This poo poo is endemic and both Coles and Woolworths are going to huge lengths to stamp it out. Anyone who knows anything about the SEA region also knows that their baby formula products are absolute poo poo, too.
