Menstrual cups are good for the environment and I think also less expensive in the long run even if you replace them at the conservative annual recommendation.

Because of the boost to police numbers (by 2500) since the Andrews government came to power, or just generally?

Because the libs did sack 500 staff and cops from vicpolice last time they were in government under napthine.

God drat this is the dumbest loving take. If a 15 year old kid in their first job is getting conned should they have just known better? It's almost like the onus is on the employer to know and obey the rules so as not to take advantage of people.

Now, change "employer" to "broker" and :aaaaa:

Pretty sure the example mentioned in the thread before that people were getting up in arms about was due to someone loving themselves over to buy an investment property.

But in the situation you describe, that's a fair call. Otherwise, if you're feeling any sympathy for property investors at all, have a good read of https://www.somersoft.com/threads/newstart-allowance-if-you-own-ips.109114/ and some of the other threads over there.

gently caress this whole police state bullshit they're bringing in.

The previous status quo with "designated areas" was bad enough with its Kafkaesque bullshit, now any kid, at any time can get a black mark for any - or no - reason.


"Notice orders" what the hell even are they? I can't find anything online detailing what they do.

Police can hand them out when they don't like the look of you and breaking them can apparently result in jail time. Do they appear on your record? Will they stop kids from getting jobs or further education? Are they going to limit their movement? Will they act as a curfew?

There seems to be just one source online, the Herald Sun, and it's behind a paywall. I'll have to go through the last few days' editions when I get to work and see if it's detailed in the physical copy of the paper.

It's really not detailed. It just says they're giving to a person, including a juvenile without a criminal record, telling them to stay away from the bad man/bad group, if they don't possible fine + prison time.
