It would be for sure. Is there any evidence to suggest this is the case though?

Kevin Mcloud creative commons track. No expense spared.

edit. seeing as you asked, Kevin McCloud writes a tonne of music that is under creative commons. This means anyone can use it for any reason without having to pay any royalties to the author.

Hey so if you have a business that has roles that require minimal training, is there any reason revealed so far as to why you wouldn't just cycle through WFTD folks as you can both get a once off government bonus and presumably pay them less than employing a personal normally?

The one talking about using superannuation to pay for a house? gently caress she was annoying.

I still couldn't get over the fact that neither of them actually gave her a real answer, as in, "no this is dumb and will only raise house prices ". There was one old mate who talked for a real long time.

Her reasoning is valid though. The money spent on interest over ~25 years of mortgage repayments is less than the equivalent would earn in a super account. It's still a terrible, terrible idea though.

I think there is a case to be made for evening out the Sat/Sun difference in penalty rates for sectors where there is no real difference. I'm guessing "poor people will literally starve" won't cut it for your friend?

I heard this really interesting radio presentation awhile ago on Bacteriophages as an alternative to when antibiotics stop being effective. Convincing people to ingest viruses for their own good I imagine will be quite the task, but maybe not when people are dying from what was once commonly treatable illnesses.
