You can see the entire bloody harbour from there and you can't keep your eyes off a bit of concrete? Piss off. Do you call the cops every time the gulls take a poo poo in view of your balcony?

Foreign pilots will once again be allowed into Australia on working visas to help address a shortage that threatens to ground planes and cancel flights. The occupations eligible for foreign worker visas were slashed during a government shake-up in April but from next month pilots will once again be granted access after concerns about the national shortage.

Kind of reminds me of the IT industry. I wonder if a lack of attractive remuneration for what is a fairly unusual highly mobile and potentially long-hours job could be an underlying cause? I noticed on the news they briefly suggested that it was more remote routes where they have had the issues, but they failed to go into the reasons for the shortage outside the training being 100k.

'We want people to do thing, but gently caress teaching them to do thing, they should just learn how to do thing in their own time and money. Welp, I guess we have to import people and pay them way less'. Like, how many industries is it?

I suspect that is happening but it's not like the news does a great job in adequately and fairly covering both sides of this debate in any industry.

I noticed on the news they briefly suggested that it was more remote routes where they have had the issues, but they failed to go into the reasons for the shortage outside the training being 100k. I think its the barriers to entry. It's the same in a bunch of other fields too. For example we churn out a fuckload of nursing graduates but there aren't enough positions for them all to do their placements so we end up with a nurse shortage and we have to import a heap of foreign nurses to give old folk their kerosene baths. Having recently had a couple of elderly relatives in care I can say from experience that the imported workers are lovely but they don't have the training of their local counterparts. It sounds like there is a similar problem with engineers. Businesses are screaming for engineers but none of them want to put the effort into training graduates (this might partly be due to the fact that a good number of engineering grads are fuckhead manchildren who no business in their right mind would employ, let alone spend money on). With pilots I know the major commercial operators need 1000s of hours of experience before they'll even look at you, and the problem is that you either pay for that yourself or try to find a job doing some remote mail run. As I understand it, there are actually quite a lot of people graduating with a pilots licence but there aren't enough of those entry level positions they can go to build up the hours. Years ago I went on a scenic flight around Wilpena Pound and the pilot was a bloke who had moved to the middle of loving nowhere just to get his hours up enough to have a chance at a decent job.

It's that whole thing of "entry level job, need 5 years experience and 2 masters degrees". Nobody wants to train anyone properly anymore (and especially not pay them while they're being trained) and instead wants ready-made workers. I think some of the bigger firms in a few areas are starting to realise that if you want good workers, you have to invest time and effort. although yes a good number of engineering grads are entitled fuckwits

An anti-vaccination group has claimed that forcing parents to vaccinate their children is a violation of ‘religious freedoms’. The Australian Vaccination Skeptics Network has told a parliamentary inquiry into religious freedom that some vaccines were made using human tissue from aborted fetuses and to use them would violate pro-life religious teachings. Australian Medical Association Vice President Tony Bartone has told Sky News these claims are completely false.

Is that a good idea? Military Industrial Complex Professor: It's always a good idea to spend more billions on defence. The UK is spending less and look what's happening to them! You don't want to be like them do you. Of course not. In these dangerous and precarious times, Defence Needs All The Money. And it should be US hardware because our own defence industries cost too much. ABC News: And there you have it - spend all the money on Operation Blow Up Dirt - defiantly a good idea. Q: When HAS IT NOT been dangerous and precarious times?!?!?!? My guess is it's in the news because there's going to be a scandal about weapon procurements coming out next year.

Welp, I guess we have to import people and pay them way less'. literally all of them, employers loving suck rear end, even huge multinational mega corps expect the government and individuals to pay for 100% of training the really clever ones manage to make money off it too; see, for example, large businesses setting up an in-house training organisation and making it mandatory for employees to undertake training. the employees have to take out a loan to pay for the privilege of being trained by their employer, the government subsidises the loan and also pays the employer for being such a good corporate citizen and upskilling australians, and the employer laughs all the way to the bank. keep in mind, this is with the vet loans scheme that has been fixed so it can’t be rorted

I did notice in the pieces on ABC24 they repeatedly circled back to the whole "Australia buys all it's weapons from the US" thing but at the same time they tip-toed around the F-35 acquisition by the RAAF. Also they kept showing a still mock-up of a Raytheon SDB II. If there is a scandal and it involves Raytheon then loving lmao it will be a shitshow.

I've always held that the greatest thing the ADF could ever do to make Australia safer is to issue their soldiers with shovels, hammers and saws and teach them how to build infrastructure in our dirt poor neighbours. Clean water, electricity, an international school of the air, directly improve the lives of everyone around us. A million different way, big and small, to do the right thing. You know, being the good guys. Instead we're perfectly content to let even our vassal states, like Nauru, rot and suffer

We've done this in places like East Timor before successfully with our ADF. We've even done this though private enterprise as well, including far out remote communities and islands off the north and west cost. We could do more however.
