3 students walk into a computer lab, get told they can't use it and then post online how they think it was unfair. Then they get sued. Sounds loving stupid to me

gently caress when this first came up I likened it to the wymen's room kerfuffles of the nineties thinking that this adequately made the point.  So for the hard of thinking: Does disadvantage exist? Y/N If N then you clearly are onto something. If Y then this means it is entirely appropriate for extra 'things' to be available to the disadvantaged in society. If you are not a member of the disadvantaged group then you look like a complete weenie when you petulantly spout 'Not fair what about me?' More to the point YOU are the person blowing up the 'segregation' issue. This was a complete non-issue until some self entitled dick swingers decided to make it a personal crusade. It was mentioned in this thread that the particular computer labs are not in a high traffic area of the campus and it is reasonable to conclude it was an agent provocator type incident. The irony of one of the men involved posting “more retarded than a women’s collective” more or less sealed their fate (at least in my eyes). -/- In that article about tightening immigration law due to TEARA  am I the only one thinking, 'If we are so concerned about security why aren't we doing something to plug the security holes that allow "Marked "protected", "sensitive" and "cabinet", the document is believed to contain recommendations for Mr Dutton to present to Cabinet's National Security Committee." That's straight up treason right there. If something is PROTECTED CABINET-IN-CONFIDENCE it is due around the level of custody as SECRET. Given the document refers to the proceedings of the National Security Committee it is more correctly equivalent to TOP SECRET. These documents are excluded from public access for twenty years regardless of any other classifications (was thirty till recently).This is serious poo poo and it isn't the first time since the NTATA - Turdball clown car crashed into parliament house. In a proper system you'd expect zealous investigation and prosecutions....

The idea that these kinds of things are antithetical to academic inquiry is really confusing two entirely separate arguments. Universities do two things: they teach and research, and they provide pastoral care. The two spheres should remain separate and the teaching and research side shouldn't have to worry about political correctness (and I mean this in the original sense, not that they shouldn't be polite to people or avoid using racist or sexist slurs or whatever). The pastoral care side should be doing whatever they need to do to ensure that students and researchers can succeed in whatever it is they are trying to do. If providing prayer rooms or indigenous centres helps with this then, as long as it's not disadvantaging anyone else, who cares? [edit: I guess we'll have to wait until it goes to court to find out what the actual facts of the matter are. The Australian can't be trusted.] open24hours fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Feb 5, 2016 |

The wowsers are slowly strangling inner-city Sydney:quote:The total and utter destruction of Sydney’s nightlife is almost complete. It is a long article and doesn't just stop at the decimation of night-culture (except for the casinos, but you knew that already, right?), but a religiously-motivated war on culture using the very weapons lefties love against them. To me, this is "Chicago syndrome", by which the heart of the city becomes culturally void like the heart of Chicago became physically void, and it's extremely unlikely that it will return. From my perspective, this has merely escalated a trend begun in the middle 80's when fire regulations were used to shut down most of the music venues in inner-city Sydney within 18 months of being passed. Only the bigger venues and the pubs who could afford to retool survived. This is an extension of that process, but it's gone beyond local council wowsers and now a big Premier wowser is booting it home. And don't think Melbourne is immune, it's not. The same mechanism by which security theatre is used to take away our privacy is here being used, as safety theatre, to lock down our CBD's. Stay home. Don't gather in groups. Any public activity is rendered suspicious. Enjoy responsibly.

tithin posted:https://www.google.com.au/url?q=htt...PI4cN38TIjKG4cw A damaging feud between the senior executive of one of Australia’s largest unions and her own board remains unresolved after a potentially career-ending disciplinary hearing was abandoned amid accusations of bias. A meeting of the national executive of the Financial Sector Union convened to hear charges of gross misbehaviour and gross neglect of duty against national secretary Fiona Jordan was yesterday adjourned while the union board seeks legal advice on whether it is too biased to determine the charges. The truncated hearing, which was shifted at late notice from the ACTU’s Melbourne headquarters to the third floor of an Irish pub, failed to remove the impasse between Ms Jordan and senior union officials she accuses of undermining her attempts at reform. Instead, the hour-long meeting appears to have created a fresh grievance, with the national executive refusing a request by Ms Jordan to have a support person present at the hearing. Under the Fair Work Act, an unreasonable refusal by an employer for an employee to have a support person present when termination is discussed can be grounds for unfair dismissal. Prior to the hearing, Ms Jordan was informed that the charges against her were serious and if found guilty, the penalty would range from censure to removal from office. Ms Jordan was denied legal representation at the hearing. Her chosen support person was an industrial relations consultant who has no affiliation with the union. The meeting was chaired by union president Louise Arnfield. A date to resume the hearing was not set. Ms Jordan, a long-serving home lending manager with Westpac popularly elected to the union’s top job 18 months ago, has previously lodged a bullying claim and the industrial equivalent of a restraining order against the union’s national executive. Those complaints are yet to be dealt with. ACTU secretary David Oliver has tried without success to mediate a truce between Ms Jordan and one of her leading critics within the FSU, assistant national secretary Geoff Derrick. The venue for yesterday’s meeting, the Celtic Club in Melbourne’s CBD, was the scene of an ugly confrontation during a break at last year’s FSU annual general meeting, when supporters of Ms Jordan and the national executive clashed heatedly. Ms Jordan claims that a former union employee now advising a senior Victorian government minister told her shortly after she was elected to a four-year-term that the national executive “are going to peel you like an onion.’’ The national executive, which includes the national president, assistant national secretary, state secretaries and representatives from banks and financial institutions covered by the union, believes Ms Jordan has damaged the FSU and put at risk sensitive wage negotiations by publicly declaring war against the board. In an open letter to members published in September on the union’s website, Ms Jordan accused a “hostile’’ national executive of taking “a series of extraordinary actions’’ to block her reform plans for the financially-troubled union. “I understand the importance of having a functional organisation and for the national secretary to be answerable to a board as well as to the members,’’ she wrote. “But the level of corrosive, disingenuous and unaccountable behaviour has meant we have reached an impasse.’’ The national executive has sought to curtail Ms Jordan’s influence over the daily running of the union by introducing a series of rule changes which give the board more control over management decisions. Those changes are being resisted by some union members, who have circulated a petition in protest.
