This is the way to do bus strikes. Given they've striked for two days in the past two weeks already they risk turning the public against them. This will be more effective towards the company. Still gotta pay to run the buses instead of having them parked up for a day.

It's a shame this kind of strike (the kind that only pisses off bosses, makes the public happy) is only possible in certain industries.

It'd be a hell of a thing if pizza delivery drivers or baristas started not charging people as a strike against low or underpaid wages

The employer is still paying wages and running costs without collecting revenue.

Employees get paid, commuters don’t get hosed around with schedule changes and the company lose a day of fares. That seems like the best possible outcome imo.

quote:

Embattled Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire will from today go on bereavement leave after revealing his son-in-law has died after a short illness.
In a short statement released on Thursday morning the ex-Liberal MP, who this week faced mounting pressure to quit after giving damning evidence at an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) inquiry, appealed for privacy.
"A member of Mr Maguire's immediate family has passed away and Mr Maguire has left the electorate to be with his family," the statement said.
"Mr Maguire asks that he and his family be provided with some privacy at this time.
"No further comment will be made by Daryl Maguire MP regarding the ongoing ICAC inquiry."

...

The MP said he did not want to burden the taxpayer with the cost of a by-election and would not recontest his seat at the March 2019 election.
He's quit the party, the Liberals want him to resign from Parliament and Labor are threatening to call a vote to boot him out on Tuesday

As I understand it, not forcing healthcare providers to deliver a script about how the patient has the option of carrying a baby to term and giving it up for adoption/isn't required to conduct an ultrasound before an abortion

I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.
It’s a very serious issue. I had someone try to coerce me into having an abortion the other day and I’m not even pregnant!

Just because they have to do the ultrasound I don't think the law is specific about showing it. I suppose most people would feel a curiousity but if you just think it's part of the clinical process (working out where to jab the vacuum) you might not notice.

Edit: by which I mean to say it shouldn't be required but it's not as depressing practice as it may seem

"That's why I put up with it."
I think it's comparing to the US side of things where many states DO force you to get an ultrasound only for the purposes of them showing it to you to try and force you to connect with the fetus, and not to, like, help in any medical sense.

I like this one because neuroplasticity is the idea that your brain can keep learning and growing long after it's matured, which is ironic given the source.

Also literally the only place you don't need to consider it is in young people.

No it really is incredibly hosed up, and is another step aimed at guilting and emotionally manipulating pregnant women into not aborting. There's no real medical reason to do it to my understanding (healthcare professionals please correct me if I'm wrong), and it's solely designed to reinforce the message of "this is a living thing inside you".

There's no way to do it with the woman "thinking it's part of the clinical process". It'd be literally impossible to do it without the woman knowing it was happening (as the ultrasound tech necessarily has to be in the same room as the woman and the monitor). If you do a standard external ultrasound (i.e. on the belly), nobody's going to be so dumb as to think it's part of the process "to figure out where to jab the vacuum". If you do a transvaginal (i.e. internal) ultrasound, that's literally rape if they don't consent yet it's a legal requirement.

If your* justification for why it isn't so bad really relies on uninformed consent (or, as it's also known, lying to patients about medical procedures that are being done to them), you done hosed up.

*Not you specifically G-Spot, general third person you.

Still relies on the professional lying to/misleading the patient though.

They have had two days of strikes already these past two weeks. Keep going and the public will turn against them if the buses don't run again for another day. This is better, people will get behind the drivers when the trip is free and it costs the company money because the buses still need fuel and running costs. Not to mention staff wages.
