loving absurd. The face to face hours required for an arts degree are less than a third of that required for law. E: why am I bothering to argue in these terms. We know that's not the reason they're doing this.

also lol @ increasing places for psychology, but there's no extra capacity to actually train more psychologists. It's not necessarily a funding problem, but due to the training framework/availability of accredited supervisors. The government surely knows this.

Drive up the cost of courses, drive up the amount of debt owed to the government and then I assume turn around and say the amount help debts are costing the nation is too much and cut something the program more in a few years?

UrbanLabyrinth posted:Not to mention that I think most of undergrad psych falls under Behavioural Sciences, so the highest-tier. Ah yeah true, how do they figure that people are going to pay a shitload more to do an undergraduate degree in psychology for the low probability of doing postgraduate study in psychology? I mean I am sure other professions are different but the back-slapping by the government here is weird, they are just taking money away from undergraduate psychology students to pay for like the 18-20 people doing postgraduate clinical psychology. Right now, any psychology graduate has about a 5% chance of getting into almost any postgraduate psychology program which is required to actually be a a psychologist. This will just further put psychology as a losing proposition and likely further marginalise the profession. Mind you, in Queensland we probably train something like 80ish psychologists who are eligible for clinical endorsement every year, and the majority of psychologists aren't clinical. Amazingly, there's more to psychology than clinical psychology so without boosting the ability to train psychologists this is basically loving everyone else (also fucks with future clin psych's too, but less so).

Speaking of basically hosed. We are about to go into a technical recession (two quarters of negative growth). It was widely thought, before the first quarter number was known, that this would happen. It would happen because the current government are shitmuppets who couldn't manage a lemonade stand. Even the reserve bank board of governors were starting to make critical remarks. This would surely have been the last six inch nail into the coffin that represented the health of the LNP as economic managers. Thus ending a toxic myth that has never actually been true at any point since there has been a Liberal Party. And then came Covid. The ultimate get out of jail free card for shitmuppets everywhere. Some of the 'mealy mouthed policy wallahs'* in Treasury must have sighed contentedly because it meant they could stop desperately trying to massage the numbers in a futile attempt to make things not look quite so disastrous. They might even actually have been napping when the shitmuppets managed to make the biggest fiscal error in Australian history (overestimating stimulus spending by $60 billion dollars). I doubt we (the public) will ever hear the actual explanation for that amazing face plant. Lets face it, what exactly was the LNP's 'worlds best' performance on Covid 19 response? Amongst some tragically bad muddled and delayed messaging they left it up to the states and then ~actually listened to the pointy heads~. It was probably quite fortunate there were any of those left around after the deprecations of the NTATA regime. Don't get me wrong. I am very grateful that the shitmuppets listened to the experts. I was a little shocked when it actually happened. Even the fiscal stimulus package must have seemed like a small price to pay for having dodged the economic management trainwreck. Scumo probably even gave a prayer of thanks to his God for having been let so completely off the hook. Without Covid the LNP was staring at the double barrels of technical recession and highest debt in National history. Now even the most shambolic of performances will be judged against 'the worst financial disaster since the great depression'. If you hadn't noticed, this is now #1 on the LNP talking points handout when discussing anything. Ironically one of the most sensible (albeit short term and stop gap**) solutions would be to drastically increase immigration. The regressive gently caress stains in both the LNP and the ALP are going to have to wrestle with that reality for sometime to come. I don't think it is going to be pretty. * I actually heard a minister's senior adviser (think Malcolm Tucker) call a technical specialist with a Phd who was speaking truth to power this. ** Australia's big cities need more population pressure like an over inflated tyre needs more air. It is already being used by regressive gently caress stains as a talking point against further immigration. Solving the population pressure issue would require careful planing of infrastructure and public/low cost housing initiative that nobody is very confident any Australian government can deliver.

Our org (also logistics) has seen a huge spike in phishing attempts to the point where today we blanket banned logins to any of our services from non-australian IP addresses (we are solely a national business) and have had to block access to outlook OWA totally. we are getting in excess of 100 phishing emails per day. thankfully the frequency at which we have been receiving them means most of the boomers have stopped signing in to random URLs sent via email.

Companies were required to report the amount of people who were applying for Jobkeeper. Instead, they reported the estimated income they expected from Jobkeeper. Treasury / the poor muppets who were administering the scheme were under huge pressure to get the money out asap, so didnt verify the figures. And whoopsie there goes a $60billion dollar mistake.

I guess the thing I don't get is that it's 60 billion that's not being spent, so surely that'd translate into 60 billion not going into the economy to keep the wheels turning. That's surely not actually that amazing.
