Hey thread. I 100% checked out of Australian politics/news 3 months ago. Feels great.

Is human arrowroot biscuit Bill Shorten still labor leader by default?

You take that back. You loving take that back.

Arrowroot biscuits are really good and Bill Shorten is more akin to a dodgy knockoff family biscuit that has the flavor and texture of cardboard packaging.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS
A Catholic school in Melbourne's south east has threatened to bar students from a casual clothes day unless their parents sign letters opposing the Turnbull government's school funding changes.

The move has infuriated some members of the tight-knit St Elizabeth's School community, who have accused the Dandenong North school of political interference and intimidation.

I'm now of the opinion to ban all public tax payers money to go to any religious or private school. That's complete bullying of the kids, their parents and is disgusting. If you're parents don't sign the form, the ENTIRE CLASS gets punished.

If I decided to write a satirical piece on how lovely some businesses are to their workers, I honestly don't think I could make it any more comically more supervillain than this. Why would they treat someone so poo poo?

quote:

The commission found Mr Garang was unfairly sacked from Byron Bay Superfoods in northern NSW in August last year after he complained about being underpaid and insisted on being paid according to the relevant modern award.

I think we have a winner.

Mr Owies told Fairfax Media that he was "very disappointed" with the commission's judgment and would appeal. 

"This only hurts full-time employees in the future," Mr Owies said.

"We are not going to take on full-time employees. We'd prefer to have two casuals if we have to replace someone like that in the future."

Mr Owies said his company had fewer than 15 employees and had decided to make Mr Garang redundant because some of its products sold to Woolworths and Coles had been deleted.

"We are an entrepreneurial company and we are an innovator of world-class snack foods for the major retailers," Mr Owies said.

"It is a very competitive landscape in the Australasian region in the retail space and your product is only as good as it turns over on the shelf."

Why let facts and common decency intrude?

Post Manchester we are all getting tough on terror. I've just finished reading A Brief History of the Car Bomb by Mike Davis. Here is what a senior RUC officer had to say:

"This is not a military issue, it is a political issue. The major portion of the damage and death caused over the entire period of the troubles did not come from hand guns and rifles, from home made mortars, or even from Semtex explosive. It was caused by the fertilizer bombs which can be made by anyone with a schoolboy knowledge of chemistry. Two men with shovels can make up a thousand pound bomb in a Fermanagh cowshed and, if for some reason the operation has to be aborted, they can decommission it again, all within twelve hours. You can't decommission shovels. It's minds which have to be decommissioned."

Now while this is obviously dealing with some specifics of the IRA that isn't the ranting of a rabid leftish Greenie do gooder.

Not in Manchester:

http://www.latimes.com/world/middleeast/la-fg-iraq-mosul-airstrike-20170325-story.html

quote:

U.S. acknowledges airstrike in Mosul, where more than 200 Iraqi civilians died

The U.S.-led coalition in Iraq said it might be responsible for an airstrike in Mosul on March 17 that local civil defense officials said killed at least 200. Molly Hennessy-Fiske and W.J. Hennigan Contact Reporters

An initial investigation of a recent airstrike believed to have killed more than 200 civilians in Mosul found it was conducted by the U.S.-led coalition at the request of Iraqi security forces, the Pentagon said Saturday. Witnesses said the airstrike killed hundreds of residents on Baghdad Street in west Mosul’s Aghawat Jadidah neighborhood March 17, including many women and young children. On Friday, in an area where apartment blocks were reduced to rubble, at least 50 bodies could be seen, including those of pregnant women, children and newborns. On Saturday, a day after announcing that the incident was under investigation, Pentagon officials released a statement saying the coalition had targeted Islamic State fighters and equipment in the area March 17, “at the location corresponding to allegations of civilian casualties.”

The coalition said that it takes allegations of civilian casualties seriously and that a formal Civilian Casualty Credibility Assessment of the airstrike and the civilian toll is underway. “The coalition respects human life, which is why we are assisting our Iraqi partner forces in their effort to liberate their lands from ISIS brutality,” the statement said, using an acronym for Islamic State.<snip>
Where's their minute's silence?

This is relevant to Aus Pol because the US just asked for more Australian troops in Afghanistan. We are complicit in actions that seasoned veterans know will never lead to a reduction the threat of terror to our nation. We ignore the other path because it doesn't play as well in the electorate. Our politicians send our troops overseas because they are cowards and value their political hides over the lives of our service personal and our civilian targets.
