India is currently raising diplomatic protests against an Australian ads that promote lamb as a politically correct alternative to beef. (because it is insensitive to vegans)

Are there a lot of vegans in India? I know Jains are vegan (right?) but I would think dairy products were too much a part of the culture to fully avoid.

The current protest has nothing to do with veganism. The protest is because Lord Ganesha is depicted promoting eating meat, as he is vegetarian.

The veganism thing mentioned in the article is from another ad campaign from 2016.

Mainstream Hinduism is completely incompatible with veganism, milk and butter are extremely entwined with the Hindu religion.

We are a very small company... there are only three of us, and we're all Aussies. Two of us are contractors and the third guy is managing the contracts.

We do get a lot of CVs from international workers, especially in the IT industry, particularly from Middle East/South Asia. Yes there are some Indians but definitely not enough for me to say the majority.

There is a visa for specialist skills where they can get permanent residency if they can get a job, and many of them try to escape poverty by this path, so I can sympathise in a way. We don't look at their origin/race at all though, just whether they provide an Australian phone number or not (we can't really conduct interviews internationally, and clients generally want local workers).

I'm guessing they write these emails and fire them off to all recruitment agencies. We have never replied to these emails, since professionally it's kinda inappropriate to troll them. However if any goon wants to touch the poop, then that might lead somewhere. I doubt you will get anything though since the address are just spammy ones, but you never know...

Really curious about the thought process though, like at some point someone was like, hey let's email these white fellas and tell them Indians are totally rad (and fac those lazy Chinese)... like do they think there's anyone that would read that and not go, ???????

I'll keep them coming as they come, seems to be every 2-3 weeks in average. Happy to start another thread if this is a bit off topic from Facebook porn - someone come up with a kickboxing thread title please

They hope that somewhere, in some recruitment office, this conversation will take place:

A: "Huh, people keep calling us racist against Indians"
B: "Whatever"
A: "Maybe we should give special consideration to minority applicants over Australians just to make sure there is no hidden bias in violation of our corporate diversity policy."
B: "If you think so, I don't care."
A: "I'm on it!"

Subject: Contracts there is no way back for us x
To: Contracts

Contracts, please quickly look at the image below.

It tells you that 1/3 of Aussies can only keep their homes for less then a month if they lost jobs. The data is from RBA.

So now you get it! People in power, they cannot allow house to go any lower. Otherwise everyone will default on it and our country will be destroyed! If something bad happens, they will devaluate the Aussie dolla instead. Let me say again, they will turn your life savings into toilet paper, simply because they cannot allow the house to go any lower, at least on "number".

Knowing this, you cannot keep anything in your account, instead, you should turn all your savings into houses! The more debt you are in, the more you will have when economy crisis hit! And you know it is not far away!

Now you know what to do! Harris Park in Sydney, it is good place to start with! This area had grown by 200% over the past 7 years! Act fast or you will regret for another 7 years!

Harris Park is the best place to live in Sydney! remember this fact!
