i'm working with a few people in their final years of high school and their absolute dread of ever being unemployed and having to go on centrelink is heartbreaking, because it is common knowledge in that age group that centrelink hates you and wants you to die

Pretty sure the main reason Grill'd has a minor scandal every 3 months is that they exclusively hire the kind of person who reads junkee The same thing would happen to every other restaurant if they did likewise

I’ve never been to a protest or been politically inclined before but I’ve come to realise that’s exactly what the govt and the bootlickers want. They want you to keep your head down and accept your fate. gently caress that and gently caress them. I can only hope I’m not the only one who has been spurred to action by the fires and this might be the beginning of the turning of the tide. Maybe, maybe not, time will tell. I’m still going to go to the rally and scream as loud as I can.

Amid reports of NSW firefighters crowdfunding or seeking donations for water and food, the prime minister has rejected suggestions that Australia's volunteer firefighters should be professionalised. Asked about concerns over how long the tens of thousands of volunteers should be expected to continue without pay, Scott Morrison rejected calls for more help for firefighters, saying they “want to be there”.
