As far as I know it's usually the amount of money your labour is worth. No details yet, but it sounded ominous.

I would start looking for a new job. There is no way this can turn out good for the employee.

It sounds like how companies will put out contracts for the lowest bidder, get the worst job then throw good money after bad to try make up for the lovely levels of production.

Would be good to get some more details though, might be worth checking with your union.

Also, if LNP wins expect to see this as the new big thing. It's all about that "agile" economy, guys. And when Turnbull says agile, he's thinking of good ol' limbo sticks.

The question is, how low can you go (to bid for those shifts)?

Simple. You hire one overseas student who is desperate for cash and make whatever they are willing to work for (wages competitive back in mainland China for example) the new standard.

Think of all the Chardonnay you could buy with the savings.

Or if you really need expert analysis from the likes of Andrew Bolt, Peta Credlin and Chris 'Dog-fancier' Kenny, you can just download the Foxtel Go App and you will be able to watch Sky News without an account.

Couldn't his defence just be, "Yes, I have a grudge against that officer because I don't like coppers who beat handcuffed suspects." :shrug:

Queensland worst state.

Bit late to the party here but no, that would probably make things worse. I'm not super familiar with QLD but from the sounds of the article it looks like they are referring to some kind of fraud/abuse of office provisions. Fraud provisions often operate around some flavour of dishonestly benefiting someone (either yourself or another) or causing detriment to another person. If he said he was doing it to ruin another officer he would be admitting one element of the prosecution's case. If he instead says something like "I don't believe it's right or in the public interest for abuse of power/office or crime to go unexposed", then maybe he's on safer grounds. It would be especially bad to admit to trying to ruin someone because I can't see how they would argue that he was trying to benefit himself or another person. The guy who got bashed maybe? Blowing the whistle on police misconduct generally isn't sunshine and roses so I doubt they would say he was trying to benefit himself.

Also YUCK! if I check the news and Pauline Hanson's name or face appears anywhere outside of the cartoons... just gross.

But then the questions are being asked in a different order, and so they're giving responses to the wrong questions.
