If Amazon Australia ends up being like Amazon Canada then you get to look forward to a bunch of not-really-super-well-priced random items that no one really needs, and granola bars. I order from Amazon Canada about 1/10th of the number of times that I order from Amazon US.

MysticalMachineGun posted:Except due to the way Amazon changed things in the US ordering from online stores in Australia has been a thing for a while now. Amazon aren't going to be a paradigm shift when we've already shifted. I've spent many years in eCommerce, including five years with one of the biggest online retailers in Australia (who also have a handful of stores), and this is exactly what I've been saying to my friends. I don't think they're going to fail per se, but they're not going to change the retail climate the way that many have been predicting.

Where do you define Politics? The salvos are trying to deal homelessness, for example, that's a political issue. Every charity in existence could be argued as political in some way.

fiery_valkyrie posted:Depressing Man you should read up on more of the history most of Australia never talks about. It gets your blood boiling. I didn't know one iota of it until I did some reading as an adult. I'll get you started: the wage theft topic as it pertains to indigenous Australians. It gets worse as you consider the inter generational impact and lost future opportunities for their families that carries on to this day.

Several more S44 cases have been floated, including David Feeney. E: timing is important for some of the cases since people submitted the paperwork before nomination but only received official confirmation of the renunciation afterwards.

Whats actually happening is exploitation and abuse of unpaid overtime and an insane jump in employee illness/turnover.

A Brisbane law lecturer who allegedly posed as pop singer Justin Bieber online to solicit explicit images from young children overseas has been committed to stand trial. Gordon Douglas Chalmers, who used to work at the Queensland University of Technology, is charged with more than 900 child sex offences including possessing child exploitation material and using a carriage service to groom persons under 16. The 42-year-old was charged in November 2016 but after a thorough examination of his computer, he was charged with hundreds more child sex offences including rape, indecent treatment of children, making child exploitation material and using a carriage service for child pornography. Police allege Mr Chalmers used multiple online platforms including Facebook and Skype to communicate with his victims. His alleged offending dates back to at least 2007. Mr Chalmers was committed to stand trial through the Brisbane Magistrates Court registry. He is in custody and will face the Brisbane District Court at a date to be fixed.
