Like this is the ABC. Last night some fuckhead was on and the ABC ran the tale of a single hospo worker who got a raise on his first day because he was such a fantastic worker. Then they asked the worker what he thought about a pay raises in general and said "you should only get more money if you're doing more work".

Mr Chips posted:An old housemate of mine, who used to be an Amnesty International lawyer and worked on the Woomera detention centre High Court thing, is now EL2 in the Immigration Department. I can't fathom the mental gymnastics invovled in that. -/- The safe issue is possibly the most searing indictment of current public sector policy that has so far come to light. This is a direct result of the outsourcing and labour hire company contracting policies being forced upon the public service. Under the old organisation charts every person who touched that safe would have been experienced/cleared/briefed. This could have still happened but even the lowest level APS grunt would have had some idea of what was going on. The fact that the material was ASTEO is utterly bewildering. This is the stuff that it is believed should not be known by our closest allies (eg USA), Failing to protect this stuff properly has wide reaching ramifications in the of the negotiation of trade deals (etc.). Was interesting to hear Wilkie state that he thought the current parliament house security procedures were a joke and he wouldn't give half the sitting MPs a security clearance.

BBJoey posted:why would you even sell a filing cabinet you no longer have the key for. what did they think the buyer was going to do, leave it locked and use it as a piece of decor? someone’s going to have it drilled in order to be able to put stuff in it at some point so it may as well be parliament house security instead of whatever weirdos but ex-gov furniture If the cabinet is actually the one in the photo, the combination lock secures all four draws but the top draw has an additional key lock. So if you drill out the key lock, you can still secure the four draws with combination lock. Or ignore the top draw and just use the other three.

Feeney's resigned. Kearney's dropped from the Brunswick race and been selected as Labor's candidate for Batman. Between this and yesterday's Crikey article, Batman just became much more of a fight.

They really should have kept her in the back-pocket until the Vic redistro gave them another guaranteed seat in the inner west of Melbourne. Push Tim Watts further out to the suburbs because who cares.

Testekill posted:So is Malcom Turnbull He'd happily be Prime Minister of a party that wasn't quite as a conservative. If he had his way we'd have carbon pricing and there would have been no need for a survey on SSM, but he didn't need to be dragged kicking and screaming into supporting the ABCC or the ROC. He's pretty poo poo at being a politician though, regardless of what his views are.

I don't think anyone really knows how it's going to play out. Generally speaking Auspol election predictions have a tendency to be incredibly cynical and pessimistic so wait and see IMO. Also I'm not posting a new thread, to be clear :P

Solemn Sloth posted:Kerbside recycling in Victoria is fukt btw When I moved into my new place last year I made a point about this to the Dept, saying it was unrealistic to expect poor people to put up with a bunch of junk because the Dept was too cheap to do a hard rubbish collection every six months or so, and they agreed but "budget". Then in December someone threw a mattress over the fence and miracles of miracles two bins appeared in the courtyard with a face-saving letter proposing inspections and threatening legal action for bad flat maintenance. I suspect they found a working argument at last.
