KennyTheFish posted:The reduction in trade barriers, the undermining of social services and the erosion of labour bargaining power all stem from the same core neo-liberal ideas. The increase in income inequality is a goal of the system, not a side effect. Cartoon posted:That's pure obfuscation. If free trade is meant to improve life for 'us' as a nation then there needs to evidence of it doing so for 'us' as a nation. I've presented the counter argument (decreasing prosperity from admittedly a very good starting point). What I'm trying to say is that free-trade isn't responsible for inequality, nor would trade restrictions solve inequality. You can have a society where the wealth is shared with or without free trade, and it's welfare rather than trade policy that will determine what kind of society you have. open24hours fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Aug 1, 2016 |

Reminder of the deal he made: quote:Senator Leyonhjelm in return agreed to oppose a Labor amendment requiring a guardian or independent witnesses be present when government officials collect biometric samples — such as fingerprints, blood or saliva — from children or people with disabilities at Australia’s borders. I personally am shocked that the government opposed to that amendment can't be trusted.

Pauline Hanson's One Nation has landed its second Senate seat with the election of candidate Rodney Culleton in Western Australia. Gentle reminder Rodney may not be able to serve at all as he is still awaiting sentencing on a stealing charge and is preparing for another criminal trial. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/jul/20/potential-wa-one-nation-senator-fails-in-bid-to-delay-trial-over-stealing-charge But if so he will just be replaced by whomever One Nation chooses anyway.

What Medicare should be in the 21st century: a radical blueprint for the federal government's Health Care Homes scheme Healthcare "hubs" would become one-stop-shops for integrating hospital, specialist, GP and allied health services, where patients would have greater autonomy over their tailor-made care, a radical blueprint for revolutionising Medicare envisions. The proposal would also see patients given online access to their own health information, including tests and appointment bookings. The federal government's healthcare agenda is the target of a new report released Monday by an expert group of medicos, consumer advocates and researchers that aims to wrench Australia's "1980s" model of healthcare into the 21st century. A massive overhaul of the current outdated system required "an absolute redesign of infrastructure, health team roles and models of delivery care around the needs of the patient," read the report by the expert roundtable co-hosted by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), the Consumer Health Forum of Australia, the George Institute and the Menzies Centre for Health Policy. The plan also demanded a fundamental cultural shift, where patients would cease to be passive consumers and accept more responsibility for their healthcare as active members of a multidisciplinary team. "We can either struggle with a 1980s health system that does little to confront the realities … or take concrete steps towards driving changes that reflect 21st century knowledge and healthcare management and information technology," said RACGP president Dr Frank Jones. The report builds on the "Health Care Homes" model of care where health planning, testing and treatment are centred around patient preferences and delivered by a multidisciplinary team. The federal government announced funding for the first stage of a Health Care Homes trial in the May budget, and up to 65,000 patients will be able to enrol for it across as many as 200 practices from July 2017. Few details have been released at this stage. The "one-stop-shop" healthcare "hubs" – inspired by similar schemes in the US and Canada – would provide patients with more individualised attention. A patient's first point of contact may not always be a face-to-face GP consultation, the report explains. Instead, the system would integrate hospitals, specialists, allied health and community-based services through a mix of in-person, phone and email consultations. "These reforms require a major cultural shift and large-scale transformational change that build on Medicare's principles of universal coverage and simplicity," Associate Professor James Gillespie of the Menzies Centre for Health Policy said. The current Health Care Homes plan focuses on managing patients with chronic conditions including cardiovascular problems, obesity and diabetes. But the blueprint imagines a system designed to care for every individual, with a focus on keeping people healthy, just as treating acute illness. "Better patient experience makes better patients. We can achieve this in Australia by rethinking healthcare so that the system is not structured around provider priorities but rather ensures the patients is at the centre of decision-making in a co-ordinated system," said the chief executive of the Consumer Health Forum, Leanne Wells. "Governments need to realise that not only will this change mean happier healthier communities, it also stands to deliver better outcomes for the economy, frequently replacing expensive hospital stays with more effective, less expensive care in the community," she said.

kirbysuperstar posted:Do tell SONIA Kruger has unleashed controversy on morning television yet again, this time laying into a scholarship program for LGBTI high school students. The television host slammed the scholarship as “reverse discrimination” on the Today Extra show this morning, two weeks after her call for a ban on Muslim immigration sparked a widespread backlash. Dubbing the program “odd”, Kruger said she did not understand why a $7000 scholarship was being reserved for a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex student. “I don’t think it should have anything to do with the awarding of a scholarship,” Kruger said. “I thinks scholarships should be given on merit.”

Well their argument is that fewer people are going into trades because there is a stigma around it being a lesser pathway as well as businesses requiring literally any degree to make it into consideration for entry level positions. It seems like you could kill two birds with one stone.MysticalMachineGun posted:That Japanese student isn't getting sent to Australia by his rich parents to become a plumber, come the gently caress on Well yeah, but that article's point was that domestic students increasingly are just seeing university as a mandatory step in their education post-highschool. Were TAFEs hugely unprofitable?

I think a bachelor's in a trade would have the same stigma as an apprenticeship, but I don't think tradies are the real problem here. If you want to be a plumber you don't need to go to university and people who employ plumbers wouldn't expect you to have, but if you want to be an office admin or whatever things are different.

They are so out of step with what people think and do these days. There was an email from the VC of my university saying how they were unable to explain the current political situation and how it would effect the university, as they were hoping that the fee deregulation would go through the senate. I'm surprised the student unions are raising more of a stink over this, rather than the usual Trots/Socialist/Young Labor/Young Liberal infighting
