And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

He's asking what % of Australians make up the conservative Church base of the Liberal party as 36% is the total. He's very roundabout saying they are a very small insignificant minority and not the Liberal base.

Taking time off work to surf the web is time theft

ASK most employees what it means to steal from their employer and you’re likely to get answers that relate to taking home office stationery or fabricating work-related expenses.

But there’s another form of theft which is far more prevalent in our workplaces than we care to acknowledge or recognise, and it’s growing and impacting the bottom line of many organisations

Time theft that occurs when employees accept payment for time that they did not put into their work – and it is more easily executed by those with fixed paid hours as opposed to those in salaried positions who must perform the job regardless of the hours required.

It occurs in many different forms but it is one particular type that has thrust the concept in to the spotlight in recent times – using paid work time for online personal activities.

It might be ten minutes here or ten minutes there but over time and across multiple employees the loss can soon add up with time theft estimated to cost Australian organisations billions of dollars each year.

How often, for example have you spent time at work surfing online to get the best airfares for your summer vacation abroad?

Or perhaps you have been made aware of a sale at your favourite retailer but because of your work commitments you have embarked upon some online shopping during working time to secure a bargain?

Maybe it’s simply that you while away your work day chatting to your cyberfriends via your favourite social media sites or you find it more convenient to pay your bills online during the work day.

The bottom line is that if you do engage in these behaviours regularly then you are most probably committing time theft.

For many employees who engage in time theft, it does not stop at online surfing. Think also about the paid work time devoted to lengthy non-work related chats, extended breaks, late starts, or even early knock-offs.

Of course, most employers acknowledge and accept that many employees will devote a small amount of work time to attending to personal matters - and many employees, will make up the time by reducing their breaks or extending their work hours.

But the bottom line is that time theft through personal web surfing reduces productivity and employers are increasingly taking steps to curb their losses.

They recognise that the actions of an employee engaged in time theft can negatively impact on others when they see that that timeliness is not recognised and there are no consequences.

And when counterproductive behaviour is perceived as acceptable behaviour in the workplace, it spreads like a plague of locusts.

So next time you decide to play an online computer game during work time, perhaps rethink that move – you’ll be a winner in the eyes of your employer.

Chatting to co workers is theft.

Craig Laundy is about as far to the centre as you can get in the LNP (he was Malcolm’s staunchest defender and lost his Ministry after the spill), so he is making the point that moving to the right will not succeed. That said, as JBP and others have pointed out, like all moderate Liberals he lacks any kind of spine so he cloaks his critique behind wordplay.

Good on Trioli for actually going in and saying the things she said, you wouldn't catch Leigh Sales interrogating MPs like this. Another video that shows that the ALP is at best superficially different from the Liberals. When Trioli asks why he thinks it's acceptable to have children in detention, he says he doesn't agree with having children in detention (*who have medical issues). What about the children without medical issues? Ah well, gently caress em
