"Most mornings I'll apologise in advance to my wife."
What's it called when a social worker gets casual shifts at crisis centers? I'm trying to find an article in The Age from a few years ago and I think I must be missing some vital keyword that will allow me to google it.

"Most mornings I'll apologise in advance to my wife."
Nope, that's not it. I am trying to find two articles/blog posts I read, one about a young woman deciding she couldn't dress up for work anymore because male clients took it the wrong way and one about needing a car to get to these very occasional shifts she was being given which barely paid for the cost of running said car. Googling for issues that social workers have just brings up 11 billion hits asking me if I need a social worker, so that's no bueno. After an hours search I did find a great big fat PHD someone has written about job stress in the community services sector so that's going to be some help, but I'm doing a bit of short story writing and I wanted something that had more of a human element to it as opposed to the dry, research based approach of a PHD.

I agree, wanting to stop the spread of culture that encourages stoning rape victims is an evil comparable to the Holocaust. Christ. I didn't strain my brain too much thinking of a witty comeback because calling people you don't like Nazis is Lazy Internet Debating 101.

I'm not trying kick people already legally here out (or put them in camps etc). We should be under no obligation to allow anyone new into the country that we, as a democracy, decide aren't good for us. That isn't the same as murdering them.


LibertyCat posted:

I don't consider myself a Nazi but I am very strongly Nationalist. I am greatly in favor of civil liberties for citizens - Demolishing mosques etc is the opposite of that.

I do think the middle eastern culture is dreadful (esp for women, LBTQI and nonbelievers) and there is no reason to encourage its spread by letting people from those regions enter in large groups.

I think remote communities that have no possible hope of being economically sustainable should stop being subsidized, negative gearing distorts the economy, we are letting too many people into the country in general, and the resulting population growth is straining our existing services and is bad for our quality of life.

If NZ want to take refugees, let them.

Other countries are way more racist/xenophobic than us but this thread makes out like we're the worst of the worst.

This morning Fairfax runs two stories. One an in depth piece on how the Brethren are a bunch of pedophile defending child abusing scum.

The other about how the brethren are big donors to the Liberal party.

Asked about it Malcolm Turnbull says:

Malcolm Turnbull says he has "no criticisms or complaints" to make of the controversial Exclusive Brethren and is happy for the extremist Christian sect to continue donating to the Liberal Party.

Less than 10 billion in total taxes and royalties, but in rough terms yes? As to whether the Arts pays more taxes you get an enormous amount of discretion as to where you draw that particular fence. I suspect if you limited it to companies whose prime activity was in the arts then the figure would be less than a couple of billion which isn't to suggest the mining sector isn't tiny compared to the arts sector. Here's an article on taxation and the Arts which goes into enormous detail except for the figure you seem to want. It does highlight the issue of what counts towards 'Arts'.

I'm not all that bothered with proving the arts pay more. What got me was this comment:

<10billion for a ~300 billion budget hardly meets my criteria for 'bank rolling'.

Apparently there was a UPF Rally in Perth today. I can only find this news article, which states approximately 200 people attended on the Ultranationalist side. However, there's not a lot of pictures to gauge the size of the crowd, with the majority of pictures being centered around masked dudes who complain about left-wing dudes being covered up and poo poo. Seeing most of the pictures were about signs and patting themselves on the back, I guess that speaks for itself.

https://twitter.com/Infidel_72/status/744109905502625792
A rare picture of the crowd. Looks like a fair turnout

https://twitter.com/joel_hack/status/744048317173227520
Yet another crowd shot. No shots looking from a podium or anything so numbers aren't being broadcasted by the organisers.


The usual suspects. Third from left is Dennis Huts, the UPF lieutenant in Perth. Sixth from left/right is Chris Shortis, Blair Cottrell is to his left (our right), and they make up most of the leadership in Victoria. To the right of Blair is Elijah Jacobson aka Kevin Coombes, who is the ~shadowmaster~.

Implications

This rally in Perth represents one of the largest, successful gatherings which has taken place for RA/UPF this year. This rally was ~not~ challenged by a significant number of counter-protesters, although this also had the effect of not turning this into a national spectacle. If it wasn't for this post, it wouldn't even rate a mention outside of a local website and the Ultranationalist circles themselves. The complete media blackout on this is likely going to starve them of recruiting new people, but in turn will further harden the resolve of the more dedicated UPF/RA/TBC dudes.

So basically Perth is a gigantic racist shithole where duders can be openly racist and belligerent and noottthhhiiing happens, it's amazing. I mean the only other place where I'm aware this might be possible is like Bendigo or Melton.

Serious question: what does/would it take to weaken the resolve of groups like these? It strikes me that any hurdle presented to them is made to be an inciting event or a cause for martyrdom ("we're persecuted and ignored by the mainstream because they're in league with the pro-refugee media!") and incidents that go unchallenged are turned into demonstrations of power.

I guess these cases are going to buoy the core group of diehard adherents anyway, and that you're talking about converts (those who might likely be convinced by media presence/notoriety). It strikes me that perhaps the only way to weaken core members is to embarrass them out of publicly expressing their beliefs (for example by showcasing weakness and undermining the group's capability to project a tough image) or to somehow convince them their beliefs are wrong (which seems very difficult on its own).

According to Mega George, Australia actually leads the world with political/economic trends, but because we're so lazy/lackadaisical/she'll-be-right about the whole thing its kept reasonably under control and never quite melts down the whole system completely. The Australian Moment and Australia's Second Chance says it better. Anyway I'm not concerned, this is just the UK catching up with our Tampa.
