I'm more impressed by the refusal of journalists to take the figures and the thrust of the presser at face value, that's a real worm that's turned. When journos can fling your sums and rhetoric back at you it doesn't just mean you've lost the plot, it means they're not going to stick around for the matinee.

Well they know where the fuel roughly is- it's inside the reactor vessels inside the containment building. Which is about 100 times better than Chernobyl- they know exactly where the fuel is. Some is in the basement, some is in the shattered remains of the reactor core, some is inside the shattered remains of the containment structure, some is over there on the ground, some of it is spread in a fine cloud over much of Eastern Europe.. In terms of nuclear waste and nuclear accidents, it's actually pretty well stored and wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be.

And in the country side surrounding Fukushima where over 100k people will never be able to return home again. And in the ocean and fish off the coast. And the stuff that is in the reactor vessels only needs to be 'pretty well stored' for a couple hundred thousand more years. Yep - people are totally overreacting to this.

Frogmanv2 posted:http://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2016/03/australias-disgrace-the-exploitation-of-temp-workers/ This sort of stuff gives me the shits. I had to go back to uni and added an extra $80,000 onto my HECS/FEE HELP taking a couple of postgrad courses because it was too hard to find permanent work once I finished undergrad and moving from temp job to temp job was becoming pretty soul destroying. When the unemployment and underemployment rate is as high as it currently is there is no reason for a lot of those 1.4 million extra people to be in the workforce. Granted some of them will have skills that don't exist in the country but I'd be shocked if a large number of them were hired because they don't cost as much and are less likely to join a union.

What might be the effect of the ABC and other media organisations regularly comparing the labor and liberal policies to the greens as if it is some sort of three horse race. Like the greens have comparable policies to the major two.
