Bunnings hardware store bans sexist tradesmen after staff member complaints

A major hardware chain has taken a stance against sexism, banning some tradesmen from stores over sexual harassment of staff.

The ABC has learned that at least one Bunnings store in Melbourne has taken action because of sexist behaviour towards its employees.

A female Bunnings staff member told 774 ABC Melbourne's Jon Faine that she complained to management about sexual harassment from some tradesmen shopping at the store.

Faine said the staff member feared for her job after making the complaint but was "delighted" when the outlet reacted by banning the tradies.

Bunnings has declined to comment.

Hey, this is correct. A loan is a legal binding contract that can only be altered with the consent of both parties.

Signed, banking scum.

George Christensen seeks contributors to new 'war on radical Islam' website

Reform-minded Muslims have a new internet destination: a website set up by Queensland MP George Christensen “to expose radical Islamic practices, its adherents and appearers within our midst”.

The outspoken member for Dawson, who last year addressed a Reclaim Australia rally in Mackay, announced the website on Tuesday in a call-out for writers and researchers.

“The site will also root out treating people with respect and its purveyors who seek to stymie free speech on this, the most important subject for the future of our Western civilisation,” he wrote on Facebook.

Christensen said he hoped the website, authorised by his office, would be an agent for reform within Islam, “and promote moderate Muslims who are seeking to change their faith for the better”.

But he added: “Where practices of so-called moderate Muslims in this country or elsewhere are found to be less than moderate or appeasing the extremists, this website will call it out.”

Contributors will not be paid but are promised they will help to “fight for a cause which could determine the future of Western civilisation, freedom, liberty and humankind”.

actually thats originally a yank convention, there's no real historical distinction in UK/Australian english but UK english sucks anyway

e: I will never understand why the vein of hatred for American English runs so deep in australia, we already hate the poms and love Americans but something something language being a primary cultural identifier

Also my husband knows literally nothing about hardware despite running the store, and whenever a male customer would be talking to him and a female staff member they'd always ask everything and look exclusively at him and he'd just go "I don't know why you're asking me, I don't know anything about this, but she does!"

As a pedestrian, you should definitely not expect cars to stop for you when you step out on to the road.

"But drivers should be paying attention!"

Who cares if it is their legal responsibility or whatever and they'll go to jail if they hit you - if they hit you, you might be loving dead.

I have received this disturbing report from Nauru. It is all the more disturbing given that the Republic of Nauru has been boasting on Twitter that the camps there are open, and people are free to come and go as they choose. (see @Republic_Nauru Follow what they say). Note that the suggestion that people held on Nauru are “free”stands awkwardly with the fact that they are not allowed access to phones. That, coupled with the Australian Border Force Act (which threatens people working in the detention system with 2 years’ gaol if they disclose facts they learn while working in detention) shows beyond argument that Australia and its puppet Nauru are determined to make sure Australians do not learn the truth about our detention system.
Here’s the latest report:
“I have heard some very frightening and distressing stories about events last night in women’s detention in #Nauru.
22 February 2016. 1.12 am. Nauru. Women’s tent.
The guards blacked out the women’s tent by cutting the power.
Then fourteen male guards and one female guard entered the tent. Women screamed in terror.
Two women in the single women’s tent were strip searched. They were screaming . One had a phone in her bra. A total of five people in the women’s tent had phones taken. Communications with the camp have been cut.
A woman has been on a hunger strike for 18 days. When she heard the piercing screams, she suffered a heart attack. With no ECG machine available, it is impossible to reliably diagnose or treat cardiac emergencies. She spent some time in IHMS and was sent back to the camp.
A young woman was recently arrested for taking a piece of fruit from the dining room and at the time was seen dragged by her hair and beaten by Nauruan Police, leaving visible injuries. Terrified by the 1:12 am raid, she slashed her wrists and her body. She too was treated by IHMS and sent back to camp.
I know this is a true account of what happened.
Please share widely.
Later edit:
Most of the women have histories of serious trauma. They would have experienced extreme post-traumatic stress reactions to the massed invasion into the blacked-out room of sleeping women. Any person would have experienced great terror. I can’t imagine what went through the minds of those women who have already been assaulted, or witnessed assaults, by gangs of men in uniform.
This further information is from Terry Russell:
The woman who had a heart attack is also severely depressed … so depressed is she, she believes they want to kill her so she won’t leave her room
She is now 32 kg and her BP is so low, she can barely lift her head from the pillow. I am baffled how or why she was sent back to the camp.”
