If the entire success of your speaking tour rested on the shoulders of one person at the border assessing your intentions why the hell would you be dumb enough to not do your research beforehand?

Lid posted:A men's squash pairing from Sierra Leone have become the latest African athletes to miss their event at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. I realise many Commonwealth games athletes go 'missing' during these events every time they happen. But how horrible would it be if the Minister for Potato Affairs made his little speech and then it turns out the atheletes were kidnapped and murdered or something similarly horrid. How would that look? I'm saying Minister Potatohead should shut up until they find them.

An overheated opposition leader removed his suit jacket, revealing a T-shirt with an ironed-on sporting the Get Up slogan "Down with offshore detention!". Well, we all had a good laugh, even though I didn't quite understand it. But our momentary lapse of concentration allowed "DiNatalie" to get the drop on us. I spent the next 3 years in the opposition benches.

Employers have angrily rejected union demands to expand bargaining from the workplace to the industry level, warning it is a recipe for them to “make unreasonable claims and cripple whole industries”. On Thursday the Australian Council of Trade Unions released a suite of policies to increase wages, including allowing protected industrial action to seek uniform conditions across industries and supply chains rather than bargaining workplace by workplace. The secretary of the ACTU, Sally McManus, has flagged industry-level bargaining as the movement’s key demand since she took over her role in 2017 and warned at the National Press Club in March that enterprise bargaining was “smothering” wage growth. The Australian Industry Group chief executive, Innes Willox, said the ACTU had “given up on decades of community consensus that Australia needs to have a strong economy and a workplace relations system that does not impose major barriers on job growth”. “The ACTU’s latest proposals would destroy jobs and the competitiveness of Australian businesses,” he said. “If the ACTU got its way, unions would be able to make unreasonable claims and cripple whole industries and supply chains until employers capitulated.” Willox said Australia would “return to the bad old days of the 1960s and 70s when industrial action was rife”. Enterprise-level bargaining has been in place since 1993 and even the Labor government’s Fair Work Act does not allow workers to strike for uniform conditions across industries. Industrial action is at historic lows in Australia and wages have stagnated. Figures released in August show that in the past year wages grew by a record low 1.9%. Australia has recorded 20 consecutive quarters of falling wage growth for private sector workers. Willox said it was “a joke” that the ACTU “wants us all to trust that militant unions would only very rarely use the new powers”. Anthony Forsyth, a labour law academic at RMIT university, told Guardian Australia that while employers would be concerned about the potential for “a big upsurge in industrial action” he questioned whether the proposed changes “will make a big practical difference”. He noted the decreasing membership of unions, suggesting that even with increased legal rights there is a “disinclination to participate” in collective action. Forsyth said it may be time to “revisit the concept of bargaining being limited to the enterprise” due to changes in the workforce, including increasing use of labour hire and franchising. While not endorsing industry-level bargaining, Forsyth suggested that where labour hire employees work alongside direct employees for long periods of time it was arguable they should be covered by the same enterprise agreement. The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry said the ACTU policy would result in “the law of the jungle” governing Australian industrial relations. “The ACTU calls this a blueprint to give Australia a pay rise,” the statement said. “In reality it’s a blueprint for strikes and increased union power at the expense of jobs – unless wage increases are affordable one person’s pay rise will cost another person their job. “We call on unions to work with business to fix the system, not destroy it.” Despite the employer fury, Labor has shown some willingness to shift towards industry-level bargaining, particularly for low-paid workers and to achieve gender pay equity. The workplace relations minister, Craig Laundy, warned that strikes were 40 times higher in the 1970s, and similar levels of disputation could return if the “ACTU/Labor plan becomes a reality”. “Labor needs to come clean and declare which elements of the ACTU’s destructive blueprint they will inflict on Australia if elected,” he said. The ACTU suggested a special pay equity panel should be set up on the Fair Work Commission that is “dedicated to achieving equal pay for women”. It also wants changes to awards, the safety net of minimum conditions for 2.3 million workers. It warned there was a widening gap between award conditions and enterprise agreements, leading to a trend of employers seeking to have collective agreements terminated. The ACTU’s other demands include reversing penalty rate cuts made by the Fair Work Commission in the retail and hospitality industries and calls to make the minimum wage a “living wage” of 60% of average weekly earnings.

The government should be running youth services like this, not giving it to a bunch of happy clappy religious types who think the only ways to fix problem children is either through praying or sexual assault.

Don't bother presenting any evidence, and also feel free to ignore the fact that we've been trying that since the 90s, gave Employers most of the power to the point where we can't even withdraw our labour without approval from a stacked statutory body - and It. Didn't. Work. I trust the ACTU to handle this well, but the ALP have a tremendous capacity to gently caress up comms on this sort of stuff. Oh yeah it'd also be really loving good if the Greens were out there supporting Change the Rules, seeing as it's all very well aligned to their policies but *tumbleweeds*

It's amazing how they're crying about there was a lot more strike action in the 60s and 70s compared to now when we're not allowed to strike any more It's like saying that the amount of complaints have gone down now that we've sewed everybody's lips shut

A Sydney RSL has cancelled a war-themed video game tournament, in which players shoot dead their opponents to win cash prizes, after complaints in the lead-up to Anzac Day that it was inappropriate and disrespectful to war veterans. The tournament, based on the popular video game Call of Duty: World War II, was to be held at Castle Hill RSL in Sydney's north-west on May 8 — less that two weeks after Anzac Day. However, veterans complained to the NSW Minister for Veterans' Affairs, David Elliot, that the tournament was "distasteful" and "inappropriate". "I've never played the game but I understand this is a game of skill and you go into the virtual reality and kill the enemy," Mr Elliot said. "In this case, Castle Hill RSL is offering up to $300 in prize money if you kill enough people." Mr Elliott said there were plenty of entertainment options for an RSL to provide and that it was a "strange" choice for the RSL. "I do think promoting war as entertainment a week after Anzac Day, in front of veterans and war widows is probably just stepping over the line," he said. Mr Elliot said he had "informally" expressed his concerns to the RSL movement and had spoken to the NSW Minister for Racing Paul Toole about the issue. "I've told [him] that my interpretation of the regulations from the Department of Gaming and Racing are that games cannot be distasteful and I think that the concerns raised by my constituents that it could be deemed as distasteful are justified," he said. Mr Elliott, who is a former army officer and former peacekeeper, said that he was a big supporter of the RSL, however he was morally obligated to raise the concerns of his constituents. Tournament cancelled and promotions removed The Group chief executive officer of Castle Hill RSL, David O'Neil, said the club had run several eSports events in the past "without incident" but now accepted that "the WWII focus of this promotion is not an appropriate one for an RSL club". "As an organisation, we support and respect our veteran community and the last thing we'd want to do is to offend anyone," he said. Mr O'Neil said the club had removed all promotional material surrounding the event and would not run similar promotions in the future. The company behind the tournament, Video Gamers League, hosts "E-sport tournaments" in which players compete for prizes playing video games. The company's website boasts that it has hosted more than 60 events in entertainment venues "attracting large crowds competing for big prizes".

Has any one else been getting occasional phone calls the last few months from the CBA asking about what you plan to do with your savings account and if you want to come into your local branch and talk home loans? Today I got another one and they started asking about if I had any interest in investment properties as well, which was new.
