Reading an article on the cop killer (not the cool body count kind) and this bit made my eyes pop out of my head like a cartoon wolf. quote:Lamarre-Condon’s gun was signed out of Miranda police station on Thursday, February 16, for the purposes of his work on a “user pays” police operation.

This reporter has hosed up as well. Some quarters are whining that cops should be able to charge "users" (protest groups) back for them attending protests the same as other user pays policing. Most cops are whining for federal funding to attend P/I protests because that all comes out of budget and the overtime is massive.

I helped with a couple of Country Music Musters in Gympie, QLD as a volunteer fire fighter and the event did have private security. The police also had duty officers going around the grounds as well and about 5 km away or something was a fully tooled and ready to go riot control and SWAT standby force. The event had to pay the police to be there and supply all messing, accommodation, etc. Same with us, our rural fire brigade won the tender to supply fire protection services for the non-structural stuff.

At some events it's practically extortion. The police say "You need X officers on site, that'll be $50,000, cough up". It played a big role in some of them going under. RIP Peats Ridge and Playground Weekender. other factors were also involved in their demise edit - \/\/ I'm not sure of the legal technicalities of the contract, but my understanding is that yes, for all intents and purposes it's essentially required Bucky Fullminster fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Feb 26, 2024 |

If police permission is required for the event - you would be surprised just how and when that permission is required - then yes if they deem it necessary. You don't get a choice if the police say it's part of giving a permit.

The police thing was more about Playground, not Peats Ridge. I specifically said other factors were involved too, and was just mourning them both. Because yes it was a great event and it's a shame it ended the way it did.

Spookydonut posted:beetroot apparently was mixing booze and prescription meds Oof. He realises that's a worse look than "just" going on a bender, right? The kinds of meds that alcohol can mess with tend to be ones that can gently caress up your body (as in, "will nuke your liver from orbit"), not just your life. Pharmacists and doctors generally warn you not to drink while taking them, though. So either he wasn't told (bad, though I reckon it's unlikely), or he was and he ignored it (worse), or he's accidentally or intentionally taken them without a prescription and gotten on the beers (worst). Can't say he inspires much confidence, but hey, he's not my local MP, maybe his constituents are going "onya, mate!"?

I thought Barnaby of all people was actually fairly attuned to that.

Bingo time- Is your workplace paying men more? Some up to 75% more? Shout out to the companies with 95% women workers with a 73% median pay favor of men. Round up the usual suspects, though some will surprise you (Rio Tinto?!): quote:Supermarket Woolworths: 5.7 per cent Mines at 10% difference. In favor of women.

Woolies are telling its staff no more queer or indigenous stickers on their laminates/name tags. I guess now the public are out for blood they've decided to go mask-off evil?

I heard Webb speak once, and my impression is she kept getting handed the poisoned chalices that nobody else wanted, rising in the ranks more from general attrition and being willing to take on the poo poo nobody else wants to. The above statement speaks volumes of her mental mindset.

It's probably an insurance or whs risk if people are going off their rocker at staff tbh. E: well not probably, it absolutely is a risk and might already be happening. Getting verbally or physically abused by a customer at work is basically auto-compo JBP fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Feb 27, 2024 |

If it wasn't an issue then what would suddenly make it an issue now? (Or are there compo cases I don't know about?)

GrandTheftAutism posted:bruh It was an issue then, but you had to ask for masks and people have to work. That was the universal way business was being conducted. You couldn't open your store and make money without accepting this risk. I'm sure there were plenty of WorkCover claims due to that behaviour and the cost of these was accepted as part of being open at that time. If stickers/badges are inciting or potentially inciting customers to abuse staff more than they would with plain name tags then of course the whs officer and lawyers are going to say stop allowing it. Risk management is about risk, not what has already happened*. If there is a potential increase in risk to staff that are wearing a pride pin, then you can just remove the risk. If people want to turn pride pin at work into political biffo with the employer and the public I don't begrudge them that and say good on you, but the insurance beancounters might not agree with me. * and returning to the Dutton led anger directed at the business over miniature Australia day flags I would guess the risk of fuckheads has increased JBP fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Feb 27, 2024 |

The problem with this "think of the insurance" line of argument, isn't that an argument as well against presenting queer at work? Where is the line here between where antidiscrimination law starts and corporate control of employees ends?
