Looks like 7 Eleven are being a pack of dodgy fucks. Sacking the independent review that was looking over the conditions and pay of their workers, just so they can find out the names of the workers (which was supposed to be confidential) who have spoken against the company and also minimise the pay out franchisees have to give their workers.

Fucks. Alan Fels is politely tearing the 7 Eleven management a new one on 730 at the moment

What are the police doing about this? Surely shaking down employees for half their pay packet outside the store is an open and shut case of extortion. This isn't an industrial relations issue, it's an organised crime issue.

The West Australian can reveal that Mr Brown will be ditched by Labor leader Bill Shorten after the former wharfie failed to disclose convictions from the 1980s.

Mr Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer during an altercation with other men in the 1980s.

Mr Brown was also convicted and fined $200 for driving under the influence of alcohol in the mid-1980s.

Judges are soft on crime? Apparently the cabbie is a refugee from Ethiopia who has a young family and is dealing with PTSD. Meanwhile the woman can't bring herself to use taxis or public transport, feels unsafe around men, suffers nightmares and panic attacks, and is on medication that stops her from working and studying.

I mean that is a lovely background for the cabbie to have come from but assault is assault and imo you should see at least some time behind bars if you commit it.

judges are soft on crime is such a bullshit line trotted out mostly by ignorant right wing dickheads who want us to follow the USA

quote:

Reflecting on his decade at the head of the Supreme Court in Western Australia, Chief Justice Wayne Martin says he remains concerned by the state's high incarceration rates despite crime rates falling.

"The public consider that we are drowning under a wave of crime and the courts of Western Australia are responding leniently and ineffectively to those crimes," Mr Martin told Geoff Hutchison on 720 ABC Perth.

"Neither of those perceptions are true."

Crimes rates in Australia have been in decline for the past 20 years, even in states where incarceration rates have not increased, Mr Martin said.

Ten years ago there were 3,300 people in WA prisons — now there are around 6,000, and Mr Martin said there continued to be widespread community concern about lenient sentencing for serious crimes.

He said policymakers had at times responded to this public concern by mandating higher punishments.

"Politicians have to respond to community values and they have to win elections if they want to be in government, but there is a need for a balance," Mr Martin said.

"Politicians have a responsibility to lead and to shape community values and to point out the true facts.

"I think the best way of keeping the community safe is by addressing the causes of crime.

"That means looking at the causes of crime — drug abuse, mental illness, homelessness and disadvantage.

"You can't keep people in prison forever; you've got to let them out."

I work with a number of cafes and restaurants and any toaster worth a poo poo is over $1000.

When they have to be on basically all day and not fail they do need to be robust and reliable and a $30 breville doesnt really cut it. Our staffroom unit is a breville and its been replaced 3-4 times in the last 12 months.

I always buy ultracheap toasters from Target. They replace it every time and as long as it is within its 12 month warranty. I'm up to my third free toaster in 2 years.

At a place I worked the cafe would always buy the cheapest microwaves/toasters/electric frying pans from KMart and then take them back for an exchange a month or two later when they inevitably failed.
