And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
So it looks like sixty minutes paid for the abduction and the mother left her three month old baby back in Australia to go to Lebanon and now this is a diplomatic incident.

Being unable to access to your home, possessions (whether that's clothing, work tools, car), being unable or unwilling to send your children to school in case the perpetrator tries to take them, being just loving generally stressed as hell. Also this leave is likely to be taken by women seeking to leave their partner who would by definition be at the point of reporting it. As I understand it there are some shelters that don't let you go to work because if you're in that situation you shouldn't be going to work where the aggressor can find and confront you.

Edit: you shouldn't need to use up AL in those situations and it's not necessarily sick leave, which may also already be used up in violent relationships. And taking unpaid leave is just loving great as you are trying to distance yourself from someone who likely held the purse strings to keep you there.

And to cut off any claim of companies being magnanimous enough to give people paid leave over allowance anyway because of their special and heartbreaking circumstances I'll laugh in your face at the ideas of corporate conscience and tell you about the woman I worked with who had breast cancer who was working throughout her treatment because she had no leave left and needed the money and the utter shitiness of the company wouldn't help her, so the staff raised money for her instead.

This is amazing. And frankly, baffling.

It's one of those 'how many people signed off on this thinking it was a good idea' situations. There had to have been a significant number of hands and eyes involved in all this, how did it get past all of them?

The thing about libertarian arguments about markets and "risks" is that it ignores all the real-world fallout of what goes on in the meantime.

Even if we accepted unquestioningly that nurses could easily earn what they're worth if they just choked back the supply for a while, and could coordinate that somehow, there would be consequences for people's health in the meantime. And the nurses would still have to earn a living somehow else in the meantime. People have to actually live their lives while all these risks and rational assessments are going on.

If you want to treat the world like a drat video game where you can just minmax your way through everything, you need to at least account for the fact that it's got permadeath, and you can't just go "lol reroll" after making the wrong choices. If we want to have a human society where people can highly specialize instead of everyone having to be subsistence farmers, we need to have systems in place to keep our specialists alive even when they are not of immediate use.

The reason libertarians or conservatives in general want people to choose profitable degrees instead of underwater basket cliche weaving isn't even because they want a better world or better society. They just want to keep their own bill down as much as possible, and cant look past that one myopic aspect of the world. They don't care what would happen if everyone did successfully predict the next boom and studied that, only to leave us with vast skill shortages elsewhere while their oversupply screws these graduates out of higher pay. They just assume they'll be fine, so why worry if overall society could be better. Just tell everyone else to work harder and figure it out themselves somehow, so they don't have to ever be bothered with worrying about it or paying a cent in taxes.

Just found out that my research centre is closing due to lack of Government funding. We spend 6 billion a year on general practice services a year. If you include the meds prescribed, tests ordered and referrals made - that number is multiple times larger.

The fact that they don't want to know how that money is being spent both angers and saddens me. (That and also being out of a job in a couple of months with 20 other dedicated researchers)

This is complete BS. A couple of million a year for good information about how primary medical care is working? Hahah no we just know that people are going to the doctor too many times!

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-10/greens-mp-jenny-leong-demands-action-after-online-posts/7313898

quote:

Alleged racist and sexist comments from police about a NSW Greens MP have been branded "disgusting and completely unacceptable" by the politician targeted.

New South Wales Greens MP Jenny Leong has demanded a police watchdog investigate allegations that officers posted the remarks about her on social media.

Ms Leong, who is the member for Newtown, said the offensive posts were made after she introduced a bill to State Parliament last month which aimed to end the use of drug detection dogs in public places without a warrant.

Ms Leong has also referred the matter to the Police Integrity Commission and said those responsible needed to be held accountable.

In a letter to the police commissioner, Ms Leong's office detailed the criticism directed at Ms Leong after she posted a photo on Facebook of police with drug detection dogs.

"A person we suspect to be a police officer going by the pseudonym 'Jack Zane' commented 'Wow Jenny. It was clearly a mistake when your father spotted your mother across a crowded [swamp] and dragged her back to his hut to make you'," the letter read.

The letter stated the person behind the Jack Zane account then changed the profile picture to one of Ms Leong before posting further offensive material including: "Her daddy was a swamp monkey."

Ms Leong said another profile that she believed was operated by a police officer posted further offensive comments while several other officers liked and commented on the posts.


"The allegation that it is actually members of the NSW police that are engaging and contributing to attacks makes it even more concerning," she told the ABC.

"This kind of harassment is also a serious threat to the health of our democracy and can prevent robust, healthy debate in our communities."
