They will tell us only in a way that serves their purposes. I suppose it's conveniently no longer a matter of national security https://outline.com/ry8G3z quote:Earlier, Peter Dutton told of the trauma of Australian sailors pulling dismembered bodies of asylum seekers from the ocean as the government warns a new wave of boat arrivals is on the way.

tithin posted:I'm in Victoria, - I tried looking on ethicaljobs.com.au for this sort of stuff but most of them start off by saying, oh we want you to have a certificate and 3 years of experience - for entry level stuff. Just to clarify something, not for profits (as in companies and not public service) are still for profit. The difference is how they spend their profit, share holders as opposed to reinvesting in service delivery. They need to have fiscal sense to remain viable in a capitalist society. So some orgs have kpis (outcomes is an often used word) attached to jobs because the government funding is structured that way. ie. 48 client outcomes per year per worker and the org is paid some to deliver and the balance when it hits its targeted outcomes. Some orgs, like where I am now, are funded a big bucket of cash to provide a service. There are no metrics from the government, but the organisation implements kpis to ensure they are being as efficient with the money as they can be to a) maximise service delivery to the client group and b) make sure they win the funding when it goes up for tender again (not for profits are essentially forced to compete against each other when it comes to govt funding) Finally there are those who don't have kpis. They're increasingly in the minority and are normally smaller orgs with CEOs and boards who haven't changes into 10 - 15+ years. Ultimately they lose funding as they aren't competitive in a tender process,, or the board and / or the ceo churns over and they start shaping up into a more "modern" organisation. With all that said, the kpis mostly tend to be pretty easy. They're not like for profit kpis (except for a few exceptions). For the most part they're realistic and attainable, and they're used to develop and support workers towards that target if they're not hitting it. There are petty tyrants in the sector too who would use it just the same as kpis have been used at anz. So YMMV. Not for profit work is for people who want to align their personal values with their work. Public service is different again, some of the others may expand on it if they want. My only advice would be avoid DoJ they're toxic internally.

There should be a fair bit of hiring going on in the VPS over the next four years too, one of Andrews commitments was for every department and agency to cut the use of consultants on core business by 50%, as well as to establish an organisation that holds a bunch of subject matter neutral expertise (a lot of he admin roles) in the VPS rather than going to agencies, as well as looking to beef up the financial understanding in various areas of government

Oh also don't be put off by " years of experience." At least 60% of the time that's put in there so that some dud internal who has been there 2 years doesn't apply, or they can easily reject for that reason. So apply anyway and highlight what transferrable skills you have that apply to the role.

There is no longer enough water in the system to meet actual need. The fact a "saving" from preventing evaporation is even considered as such tells you how bad things have become. It really saddens me because the tools to manage this properly have existed for a long time.

A major problem with the cladding issue is ongoing disputes between developers and the government. There are a heap of buildings that were built using flammable cladding which was legal at the time, but has subsequently been disallowed. The developers don't want to pay because it was legal at the time. The government doesn't want to pay because it should never have been used in the first place. In some buildings, residents are just fundraising to get rid of it themselves, but obviously not everyone affected is able to do that.

There’s still a pretty big question of whether it was legal to begin with. Some of the material could be legally used provided that other safety systems were in place to manage the increased risk it represented. In many cases it was an undocumented substitution of a combustible material for a non-combustible one. Also owners corps have been criminally inept in responding to what they have been aware of and I’m amazed that no one has taken them to task for it publicly yet.

Yeah to be honest, my view is that a class action lawsuit is going to be the best way to resolve it, but I have no idea if one is in the works or what.

acm and acp cladding is fine up to a certain height. It burns directly upwards but doesn't spread side to side, unless you completely entomb yourself in it like grenfell. But yeah you dont want it over 15m.

The big problem being that many buildings fire safety is designed with the intent that a fire doesn’t spread from one level to the next, and it gets really hosed when the external spread is allowed to infiltrate into the building at multiple points

It doesn't make any sense nah they're trying to screw Shorten for his term as much as possible. reopening christmas island was much more of an invitation to people smugglers than the medevac bill ever was. they can play the "LABOR STARTED THE BOATS AGAIN" narrative and potentially get back in after one term of screeching about it from opposition. They already know they're going to lose. It's more a matter of trying to get back into govt as soon as possible.

^^^ Why? I was having a perfectly nice morning till then. You Am I posted:I hate the fact that the ABC still has Ruddick and the drunken child killer Kate Carnell on The Drum occasionally The papers today are unintentionally hilarious. Yesterday was possibly the most dramatic and significant day in parliament in recent times. The press? Only the Tele bothered with a Shorten soft on BOATS piece that had basically nothing to do with the actual news. Even Pravda at the height of the Stalin regime was more open and factual. Free press my fat arse. Obviously nothing about the noose that is tightening around M. Cash's neck. Does anyone in the AFP even care anymore that they are being made to look like the keystone cops in all this? The times we live in.

Former Australian Taxation Office deputy commissioner Michael Cranston has been found not guilty of misusing his position to help his son. Cranston, 59, was on trial in the NSW district court after pleading not guilty to using information he obtained as a deputy commissioner, and exercising influence in the capacity of his role, with the intention of dishonestly obtaining a benefit for his son Adam. The jury returned not guilty verdicts on both counts on Friday, having retired on Wednesday following the three-week trial.
