The ITF (International Transport Workers' Federation) recently made this video showing the farce of "border security" and foreign ships on our coast. Ridiculous considering the amount of legal loopholes I have to jump through to acquire an MSIC (Maritime Security Identification Card) just to walk onto a wharf and these foreign seamen have absolutely zero checks done on them as they trade around our coast carrying fuel in and out of our fuel terminals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znV-ftPOTJU

Bill Shorten has admitted that he will keep some of Malcolm Turnbull’s changes to the national broadband network if Labor is elected to office, as he made his case to voters during his first televised open forum debate. Shorten fielded questions from voters on a wide variety of subjects during the town hall meeting in the marginal Queensland seat of Petrie. Of the 150 swing voters there, 68% said they would be more likely to vote Labor following Shorten’s address, and only 9% said they would be less likely. Shorten outlined key Labor policy areas in the Sky News/Courier Mail people’s forum in Brisbane, the first televised event before the 2016 election, though did not make any new policy announcements. The opposition leader admitted that he would not unpick all of the Coalition’s changes to the NBN, which include the introduction of mixed technologies like copper wire to keep the costs of the project down. “We won’t rip up everything that [prime minister] Malcolm Turnbull has done,” he said. He criticised the use of copper networks for the infrastructure project, saying it was “old technology”. “It’s the equivalent of building one-lane off ramps off the highway,” Shorten said. “We think you can do a much better job with fibre.” It was revealed in August 2014 that Turnbull, then communications minister would opt for mixed technology over Labor’s fibre to the premises model. Shorten had a swipe at private insurance companies for jacking up premiums, saying he would lead a “government with guts” that would slow the rate of increases. But when asked if he would threaten to cut the concessions that private insurers enjoy, or what form his negotiations would take, Shorten was vague on details. “Let’s put some water in the punchbowl, sober this system up,” he said. “I’m not going to reveal the dark arts in how I negotiate.” Shorten often swung the conversation back to the traditional Labor heartland issues of health and education. He pointed to reductions to the bulk-billing incentive for pathology and diagnostic services as proof the government was “bent” against bulk-billing patients for their health needs. “We are gravely concerned that the Medicare system is under great threat,” Shorten said. “We will fight with our last drop of breath in us to make sure the system is not further undermined.” He said promoting needs-based funding, as championed in the Gonski funding model, was an “obligation” of the federal government, and on childcare vowed to spend more on the policy area in order to keep downward pressure on childcare fees. Shorten also promised to offer greater incentives to employers for hiring mature aged jobseekers. “It’s an old fashioned way of doing it, but it works,” he said of the subsidies. Speaking after the forum, the immigration minister, Peter Dutton, accused Shorten of being the “most dangerous leader of the Labor party since Gough Whitlam” for being fiscally irresponsible. “Taxes will be jacked up under Labor...to pay for this reckless spending,” Dutton told Sky News. He played down Shorten’s performance, saying voters left the town hall happy because the opposition leader would promise and say anything to get elected. “He’s tipping money out the door,” Dutton said. But not all voters were happy with Shorten’s performance. One lamented the “missed funding opportunity” in keeping tax exemptions for religious organisations, while another accused Shorten of presenting a “false dichotomy” in his economic policies.

"They were faster than lighting," Berri, the grandmother, told The Associated Press on Thursday, speaking of the men who took the kids. "One hit me on the head with a pistol butt, knocking me down on the road." "I held the boy and started screaming 'They are kidnapping the children.' No one helped me," she said, adding the assailants did not look Lebanese. "I was terrified." The abductors made sure her son was not with them, Berri speculated, speaking at her Beirut apartment. Behind her, a photo of Lahela as a baby stood at the dining table. Earlier, her son had gone to a club he owns near Beirut but four people who had called and made an appointment for a wind-surfing lesson never showed up, she said. http://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2016-04-07/4-australians-detained-in-lebanon-on-kidnapping-suspicion edit: quote:Berri said she is a cousin of Lebanon's powerful Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and the family name is well known.

thatbastardken posted:It's not legal to have an employment contract below the award wage, is it? mate, you are being ripped off. You are doing call centre work right? Your work is being dictated by your employer, equipment provided by them, you bear no financial risk (for slow/missed work), and are paid fortnightly/monthly? Then you are an employee. If they are paying you below award, then it's likely a sham anyway. Don't work for them unless you're desperate for work. In that case, keep a very detailed record of your pay stubs, and employment contract so that you can report them to the Fair Work Commission once you get a better job.

Yeah that's all the case, there's a commission based pay structure on top of an (insultingly small) daily base rate but no penalty provision for slow work. I have not yet seen the employment contract but I just requested a copy. There doesn't seem to be any super, which I'm 100% certain is illegal.
