Goddamn, spot the lawyer bullshit. It's like Mao writing a piece on how terrible Hitler and Stalin were for their death camps. Then having someone call him out on it given how many of his own people he killed and then having a hissy fit, calling them 'filthy human rights scum' and to 'find a single factual error in his original piece'.

NPR Journalizard posted:Never been rock fishing, huh? All the time actually For ocean facing ledges if the forecast doesn't show an offshore wind, under 1m of swell and a run out tide I find somewhere else to fish or stay at home. Once there I sit and watch the waves for 15 minutes or so to get a feel for the conditions. I've got neoprene boots with metal stops which hold really well even on slimy rocks Bay ledges are more forgiving but it pays to know the spot, make sure the place you're fishing doesn't get swamped by big waves and think about how you're actually going to land a fish without joining it for a swim

Just cut to the chase and extend construction site regulations across the entire country at all times as a template for people's safety. In my Oh and a [deployed] floatation device. Yes this will mean you need a permit to go absolutely anywhere. Papers please citizen.

Now, would you like to distill that knowledge down so that it's easy to impart on the however many different ethnic/racial/social groups that I see regularly rock fishing and then enforce it? And where exactly would you be teaching these fishers? At every single fishing spot round Australia? Or just the main ones? Or would you rather just say "wear a loving PFD you idiot, it will save your life"

Warning signs at dangerous ledges, programs targeting the most at risk groups (seems to mostly be Asians who get killed rock fishing), maybe having a test covering safety (and etiquette!) as part of the process of getting a fishing licence, or promoting PFD use without making them mandatory. In this day and age it's probably easy enough to make a phone app that takes in the weather forecast data and tells you if it's safe to fish a particular spot, as well as prompting people to look for danger signs I'm not against people wearing PFDs if they think it's necessary, I'd just hate to be forced to wear one every time I hit up a ledge because I know I take enough precautions that it really isn't necessary (plus some of these places are a long walk in and the less gear we have to carry the better) gay picnic defence fucked around with this message at 10:35 on Nov 6, 2016 |

Rec fish West even gives them out for rent, free of charge. No cost if they pop either. And given you don't need a licence to go shore based fishing, and given the absolute stink kicked up by recreational fishers when you try to do anything that restricts them fishing (and even when it doesn't restrict them from fishing but they think it does) in think making licences mandatory is not going to work.

7-Eleven has been sprung short-changing workers potentially millions of dollars in back pay by changing the way compensation payouts are being calculated. Fairfax Media can reveal that since 7-Eleven sacked a compensation panel headed by Allan Fels and replaced it with an internal system in collaboration with Deloitte, it has been using the ultra low cash rate to calculate interest on worker repayments. Describing what he considers a "sacking," Prof Allen Fels told Leigh Sales he thinks 7-11 are trying to minimise their payout to underpaid workers, and that a culture of illegality could return to the troubled company. Vision courtesy the 7.30 Report, ABC. One worker, Prakash Kumar, who was underpaid hundreds of thousands of dollars at a number of 7-Eleven stores has been offered a payout under the new scheme that is $100,000 less than the amount law firm Maurice Blackburn had calculated. Documents obtained by Fairfax Media show that the discrepancies relate to a decision by the new panel to adopt a lower interest rate that is not in accordance with the standard practice of using the Federal Court Rate, which is the official cash rate plus 4 per cent.

Sparticle posted:Send rock fishers to Nauru. It's the only way we can prevent deaths at sea. I haven't read the legislation so I'm only going off commentaries and the like but 18C is the biggest tsunami in a thimble. I absolutely adore the way it selectively trolls right wing muppets and the fact it now has the full attention of parliament is totally gobsmacking. Of all the rights that have been pissed up the wall in the last twenty years this is the hill you choose to die on? ASIO can kidnap my children and hold them without representation but there is no loving way in hell that I'm going to tolerate not being able to call a loving boong a loving boong. Also I suspect that a white judge's determination of what an indigenous community considers reasonable is likely to be a loving disaster in one way or another.

Yeah I was wondering that, do they get a member of the affected community to act as an expert witness? Or do they just read it as 'a reasonable person' and not bother with checking whether that conflicts with the experiences of a minority?

The judge then spends two pages going into exactly what that means, since neither side provided any input. I'd assume one of the parties could call on an expert witness but since they didn't the judge got to make it up.
