Jonah Galtberg posted:dont post a source or anything loving Fine. It's like a 7-11 situation it seems where the company and Union knew that workers were being underpaid but did nothing about it: Supermarket giant Coles knew that more than half its workers were underpaid as part of a controversial workplace deal - saving it an estimated $70 million a year. A report commissioned for Coles shows the company was aware of the extent of the underpayment as it was fighting a major case in the Fair Work Commission in which it was accused of short-changing workers. The Ernst & Young report from January, marked "confidential", includes detailed data on pay rates across two stores selected by Coles. It showed 56 per cent of workers were underpaid, often by large sums. The data suggests that about 43,000 of Coles' 77,000 supermarket workers were being paid below the legal award minimum, the basic wages safety net. The data emerged from a case brought by Duncan Hart, a Coles trolley operator who had appealed to the Fair Work Commission against the tribunal's approval of the Coles workplace deal. In a landmark decision in May, the Fair Work full bench found the Coles deal with the Shop, Distributive & Allied Employees Association (SDA) had failed the important legal test that requires that workers are better off overall under any new agreement. It found that some Coles workers faced "significant" underpayment - a fact first revealed by Fairfax Media in 2015. The Coles deal provided lower (or no) penalty rates for night and weekend shifts. Many of the underpaid workers earn as little as $10,000 to $15,000 a year, including working on checkouts, night fill or as cleaners. Coles is Australia's third largest employer and the extent of what Coles knew about the underpayment, and when, is an ongoing legal issue with a new case underway in the tribunal. The company and union signed statutory declarations in mid-2015 to the effect that all workers were better off from the deal. Brisbane night fill worker Penny Vickers, an SDA delegate, said workers did not know they would be underpaid when they voted to approve the deal. "This is dreadful, what happened," she said. "It's not appropriate to pay less than the award and hide that from employees." "Why wasn't it brought to our attention? Why were we were asked to vote for an agreement that pays less than the award," she asked. "I'd have never voted for an agreement that would pay me less than the award." A Coles spokesman defended the deal. "It is our firm belief that all monetary and non-monetary benefits should be taken into account as well as wages when assessing the overall value of the benefits Coles provides its team members," he said. The Fair Work decision gave limited weight to the non-monetary benefits of the Coles deal as it found part-time and casual workers, who make up 80 per cent of the Coles workforce, were hardest hit. Tim Lyons, Per Capita research fellow and a former ACTU assistant secretary, said Coles would have known all along the effect of its workplace deal on its bottom line and on wages. "This is an incredibly sophisticated company, they make these claims with the aim of reducing wages costs. Any sense they would have been shocked by the decision - that is just bullshit." Mr Lyons said the SDA needed to take some responsibility for agreeing to Coles' demands. But he said the bulk of the blame lay with Coles and the Fair Work tribunal which originally approved the agreement. "They would know the effect these [terms] would have on their bottom-line wage costs," Mr Lyons said of Coles. "In the end, the main responsibility lies with the boss." As part of the recent Fair Work case, lawyers for Coles commissioned Ernst & Young partner Bruno Cecchini to analyse and report on store rosters from Benalla and Northcote. The raw data from the January report, analysed by Fairfax Media, shows that the average underpayment was $1497 a year. Taken across all its stores, that works out to between $64 million to $70 million a year. Industrial researcher Josh Cullinan, who helped bring the original case against Coles, estimates the underpayment to be worth between $70 million to $100 million a year. The overall results are likely to be conservative as the two stores featured in the case study have relatively limited trading hours. Since the full bench decision in late May, Coles has refused to negotiate a new agreement with the union. Workers have instead been reverted to a 2011 agreement with Coles undertaking to keep the higher base pay rates from the 2015 deal. Ms Vickers has now taken action at the Fair Work Commission to terminate that 2011 agreement. A successful challenge would result in Coles workers being moved onto the award which pays lower hourly base rates of pay but much higher penalties and night payments. The confidential Coles figures are embarrassing for the SDA which has consistently argued that the "vast majority" of its members were better off under the deal. It also raises questions about a string of similar agreements across the retail and fast food sectors. The full bench ruling has rocked the conservative union, which is renowned for its social agenda, including opposition to same-sex marriage. It recently said it would no longer have a position on the issue. That allowed the ACTU this week to finally come out in support of marriage equality.

The Turnbull government will push back the date of the proposed same-sex marriage plebiscite until February 2017, breaking a flagship pledge. The Prime Minister had said he wanted the vote to be held this year. However a spokesperson for Mr Turnbull told Fairfax Media that Special Minister of State, Scott Ryan, received advice last week from the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) advising the government to push the vote back. "The government has always said that a decision on same-sex marriage will be made by a vote of all Australians in a national plebiscite to be held as soon as practicable," the spokesperson said. "That commitment has not changed. Late last week, the AEC provided advice to the Special Minister of State that strongly recommended against the conduct of a plebiscite this calendar year." News Corp reported on Sunday that a timeline for the vote would now be announced in September and that the question expected to be asked is: "Do you approve of a law to permit people of the same sex to marry?" The report said the government rejected other options for questions – including those relating to gender – following focus groups. However the government on Saturday night denied that a date or a question had been finalised. "The mechanics of the plebiscite, including the specific question and also the timing, are subject to the usual cabinet processes," Mr Turnbull's spokesperson told Fairfax Media. "No decisions have as yet been made." The $160 million plebiscite remains controversial inside and outside the Coalition, with reports in June suggesting some government MPs would ignore the will of the people if same-sex marriage was approved via the compulsory vote. Opponents of the vote say it will fuel bigotry and homophobia. Despite a split among gay marriage supporters about the need for the vote – opponents argue the matter should be decided by Parliament – a structured "yes" campaign is already forming ahead of the formal announcement of the vote date. The ALP still hopes Parliament will decide the matter, with Opposition Leader Bill Shorten intent on pushing through a private members' bill to legalise gay marriage with a vote of MPs. Mr Shorten has called the vote "Malcolm Turnbull's Brexit", seizing on similarities between Mr Turnbull and the former British prime minister David Cameron, who reluctantly called for the Brexit vote to appease his party, only to have the move backfire. Mr Turnbull has been quoted as saying he expected the same-sex vote to "sail through". For the plebiscite to go ahead, both the Senate and the House of Representatives must approve it. MPs must then return to Parliament to rubber stamp the outcome, the point at which it is feared Coalition opponents may block a "yes" vote.

HuffPost Australia has an article on "rentvesting" which claims "more and more" young Australians are "renting, taking out a loan, buying a cheap house with it, using the rent they get from the cheap place to pay for their own rent & the loan" and the real estate market is calling this trend "smart" Also today I learned there is a HuffPost Australia. Why??

Australia has attempted to derail a ban on nuclear weapons at a UN meeting on disarmament, by single-handedly forcing a vote on a report that had been expected to pass unanimously. The report, which recommended negotiations begin in 2017 to ban nuclear weapons, was eventually passed by 68 votes to 22. An Austrian-led push for the treaty had reached a milestone on Friday, when the report was presented to representatives of 103 nations in Geneva. Australia defends opposition to global push for nuclear weapons ban Read more Moves towards a ban have been pursued because many saw little progress under the existing non-proliferation treaty, which obliges the five declared nuclear states to “pursue negotiations in good faith” towards “cessation of the nuclear arms race … and nuclear disarmament”. The proposal recommended a conference be held next year to negotiate “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”. The text was carefully negotiated, and compromise was attempted on contentious paragraphs. Anti-nuclear campaigners involved in the process expected the report would pass without objection. But Australia surprised observers by objecting and forcing a vote. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/21/australia-attempts-to-derail-un-plan-to-ban-nuclear-weapons what the gently caress
