I only accept dogecoins

I mined a bunch of those and made about $16 moving them back and forth between other dumb nerd currencies.

It was an experience I'd describe as boring and pointless.

Attacking GPs will increase the load on hospitals (due to patients not visiting GP due to lack of bulk bill and letting preventable conditions worsen) and probably end up being a lot more expensive in the long term.

There's that word again.

Bootstraps.

It makes me furious that people don't understand that term at all. Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is an impossible act and the term is meant to imply that something is unreasonably difficult bordering on impossible.

Conservatives have no self awareness re: irony.

When I was <7 for I have no idea how long I had a nanny, or au pair, or live in baby-sitter or whatever word suits. I'm pretty sure she worked in exchange for board but who knows if there was other money changing hands. My mum was a single working mother, my dad died and mum worked in the public service so we weren't rich or upper class either. The girl who took care of me was from the country, so it suited her to stay with us in inner melb, and sometimes I would go stay with her family during kinder/school holidays. Having help in the house doesn't make him rich. Being rich makes him rich.

It either means he's rich or not paying them enough. Or, in this case, due to our lovely IR laws, both.

Maybe I'm part of the problem but I don't actually see what is wrong with exchanging board for wages, that is sum total greater than min wage per hour, for jobs where the workplace has accommodation. Like, if you had to live on a resort island/ski lodge/outdoor camp for work and you salary sacrificed or whatever your accommodations where the net result was a fair wage, because you would have spent that money on living expenses anyway, but the on-paper pay was less. It doesn't seem like exploitation to me unless the workplace is also otherwise exploitative, e.g. you're paid on an hourly basis but don't have set work hours so you're expected to be permanently on-call above and beyond the paid amount.

I think we're just at an impasse here, but there's a huge problem in my opinion. Au pairs live with the family in order to do their job, so you're effectively making the worker pay for their ability to work for you. It'd be like making an office worker pay for the installation of their office furniture.

Oh no, you get to keep them Federally so we don't have to have them down here. Kicking those two upstairs has done wonders for the state party's stupid-poo poo-per-second statistic.

Representative Democracy will always be about choosing lesser evils, and it's very difficult to sell that to an already disillusioned youth who would rather not bother.

You should still vote though.

So I have a dumbarse liberal friend who really likes having his head so far up his own arse that he likes to think he's a critical thinker and spouts poo poo like this

"In a country where our hospitality and retail sectors are doing it tough and could be employing more people and offering more hours, it makes logical sense to pay the same 150% penalty rate for Sunday hours that is offered on Saturday hours."

I can tell you already he has literally never worked a Sunday in his life and has rich parents.
