I've been to many CFMEU events and they always book very questionable acts except for like the 2014 grand final breakfast where they had George Kapaniaris do standup and he nailed it.

Frydenberg wants to use IR reform, deregulation to fuel the economy, while also saying it's not time to panic and start using fiscal stimulus. I'm sure this will end well for the workers.

So some here may be aware of Stan Grant, the ABC journalist. What you may not be as aware of is that he was he was offered a professor position at Griffith University this year, although I am unaware of the exact circumstances of this job offer, what I can say is that this was highly publicised. I've see in a very recent report that Stan Grant resigned from his professorship about a month ago to effectively no fanfare. I'm only starting to make inquiries now, but can anyone provide any insight/heard anything about this?

The only thing worse than the boot-throating antics of the Australian media is the endless parade of lovely family drama shows and reality tv garbage it produces. God drat we live in a stinky garbage nation.

IMO start with the Griffith NTEU branch president. If it's anything like my uni, they know far more than you would expect about what goes on there. Also in other news, Banks are feeling threatened by afterpay, and considering such measurers as denying users a mortgage because 'clearly you can't afford things!' https://www.theage.com.au/business/...018-p53234.html

What the gently caress has a “free press” gotten us so far. The entire spectrum is already fully captive to the Liberal party. Throw the whole loving lot in the sea and we wouldn’t lose a thing of value.

Afterpay is actually financially very prudent if you're using it correctly. Essentially 60 day settlement on a purchase meaning you keep your money for longer which is always the preference. I'm sure it isn't used like this by and large but it's dumb to penalise people for using it when really they should be accumulating positive credit reports for making the payments (like paying your credit card).

Most people don't seem to understand that Afterpay is just like Lay-by except you get your stuff first. The reason the media loving hates it is because the banks hate it and don't know how to adjust to another market taking people away from credit cards ( because they're too dumb to advertise that credit cards are a great way to pay for your Afterpay.. . )

if you are outside of your home in nsw the police have the right to strip search you and if you refuse they will forcibly strip search you and you will be chargedquote:“On its own, the indication by a sniffer dog is not enough to establish reasonable grounds to conduct a strip search”, she told Sydney Criminal Lawyers, “and a person would be within their rights to refuse a strip search on this basis.” https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=06cc6c24-58b3-407e-8eae-8b1d83a91951 places children have been strip searched by nsw police include; getting off a train in sydney. inside a private vehicle travelling on a highway breaking no laws

I used to have all the rules regarding strip searches memorised. Then they introduced the concept of "designated areas" and all that went out the window. Now cops can just search whoever the gently caress they want, whenever the gently caress they want. Of course they're using that power to abuse women, children, LGBT+ people and anyone who isn't lilly white. cohsae posted:QLDPOL still haven't fired the guy who gave a woman's address to her abusive partner and joked about him sending her threatening messages. Cops love it when "weaker" people are abused. It's a psychological condition with authoritarians that they'll kowtow to authority while simultaneously making GBS threads on anyone "lower" than they are. Wife beaters, child molesters, cops, conservatives. They all share a similar way of looking at the world - obey or hurt. And it shouldn't be any surprise they're protecting the piece of poo poo who did it given their own love of abusing their partners.

A friend of mine who grew up in Qld got in a bit of trouble in her late teens due to several youthful misadventures, but when she eventually needed police she was too scared to contact them because a detective was trying to force her into a sexual relationship with the promise of not getting her in trouble for a house mate's drug dealing. Cool public service branch.

"You have the right to refuse a sniffer test, however the police will then have more authority to kick the poo poo out of you." Sure this seems fine.

A servo ran out of rubbers on festival weekend. Surely the only conclusion is drug smuggling, and the only solution is cavity searching.

The reason the media loving hates it is because the banks hate it and don't know how to adjust to another market taking people away from credit cards ( because they're too dumb to advertise that credit cards are a great way to pay for your Afterpay.. . ) Banks, credit card companies and governments hate Afterpay because they can't work out how to get a taste. It's Uber all over again. Merchants just love it. Hundreds of thousands of customers getting (from their perspective) risk free credit to buy poo poo that they might have otherwise put on lay-buy. Lay-buys can be a massive risk as items become un-cool, lay-buys are broken and they have to sell items at a discount. People gaming the now defunct Target toy sale nearly destroyed them. People would gamble on what would be popular come Christmas, buy multiples of each and wait. They would break lay-buys of dud purchases, buy only what they wanted and then sold their extra on eBay to pay for Christmas. Lay-buy also takes up an insane amount of dead floor space, packaging and handling. Also, return processes can be a bit abrasive with Afterpay so people are more likely than not to keep what they buy compared to cash/card. Credit card companies fear the disruption as they completely missed the boat on BNPL and that these apps just bury your payment details in the app. There is no reminder of brand there - which they hate. And of course as Afterpay is doing their own risk scoring and limit your spending amount. If you can make the repayments you are much more likely to pay down your credit card and not being a card company wet dream of what they call a 'revolving balance' which means you're just not supposed to ever get off the interest merry-go-round. The banks biggest gripe is that they have been wedged out of the acquirer market. In traditional bricks and mortar the merchant will be hit by fees by the bank who has provided an EFT pin pad. If people aren't using it, they get bypassed. The thing that will put a bit of a hand break on all of this is that regulations just do not cover this well and there's a grey area on whether BNPL is a form of cash advance and not a purchase. So once all those loopholes are closed and Afterpay's ticket is clipped by someone all of these problems will melt away by magic. Sorry for the word salad.
