gay picnic defence posted:can you summarize that? It's worth a read but in summary, LNP qld calls on qld government to release a bunch of files to the public relating to a 12 month police investigation and "explain" why there was no prosecution. And gets absolutely hosed by a bunch of reporters on why that's a bad idea.

gay picnic defence posted:Can much be done about that other than putting in a big rockwall? They had to do that down here at Somers and there isn't any beach at high tide, the water comes right up to the rocks. I'll be funny when the insurance companies stop insuring properties like this because of climate change. Brings new meaning to border protection

Anidav posted:I think the long election cycle has thrown some of us off, neither party has launched the cannons yet and this is some weird pre-election sandpit fight that made its way in. I think in the last 2 weeks you'll see some mobilization and it wont seem like any party is trying to lose anymore. I think you're crediting them with more tact and skill than they have. The coalition was prepared ahead of time and wanted the long game. This was why they had advertising up in May - they simply have nothing positive to contribute, so they've got a message, and they're going to ape tony abbott and hammer that message as much as they can. Unfortunately for them, people are wary of them, and they aren't completely buying what the coalition are selling. Or labour for that matter.

ScreamingLlama posted:I found a leaflet issued by the MUA and AIMEU ragging on Barnaby. They drew him as a donkey and added the slogan "Give Him The Arse - Put Barnaby Last". Amusingly this is part of the drama at my union, which is affiliated with the ALP, but the new National Secretary wants us to affiliate with "someone else" For the sakes of clarity, that's the rumour anyway, that she wants us to affiliate with someone else but there's definitely been talk, by her, that I personally have heard that she's no longer happy to affiliate with the ALP.

Fascinating developments in brexit territory last nightLer posted:There is some suggestion, and speculation that Scotland and NIRE could possibly veto the EU exit. Scotland & NI have the power of Veto on Brexit ALSO! the EU said that there's no way for Scotland to remain in the EU while it's a part of the UK. quote:European Commission says after Brexit vote: Scotland part of UK So either Scotland or NI uses its power of Veto and pisses off most of England, or Scotland votes to Secede. Two fucken birds one stone.

Kat Delacour posted:I endorse this message Not sure how that reads, because I genuinely don't understand what this is saying, but I've got a union colleague in the VEP - if you're voting them low, maybe bump them up a bit. Single issue, but it's a reasonable issue and the only other party pushing for it is the greens to my knowledge.

The average full-time wage is $74,724 before tax.May 8, 2014 Average $100 per day, 5 days per week $500 * 52 = $26k per year. One third to one half of income straight up on childcare without rebate.

BlindSite posted:Because the evidence isn't there to support that funding childcare is how you do it. It's generational through targetting disconnected youth and better education. The better educated your society, particularly women the lower the burden on welfare. Did you see where I posted the cost of average childcare is one third to one half of the average income? Education won't fix the cost of childcare, it's extremely expensive.

BlindSite posted:If you focus on education and housing affordability the problem takes care of itself. It's part of a bullshit group of policies designed to treat symptoms instead of the cause. I'm honestly not sure where you're approaching this from. You want childcare rebates removed because you feel that people who can't afford children shouldn't have them, ok, that's your opinion, but we're in a situation where the cost of child care is extremely prohibitive to the point of being unaffordable without government assistance. People have a natural desire to procreate, it's literally written into our code as humans - not everyone feels it, true, and more power to them, but the majority of people do. So saying "if you can't afford it, don't have it" isn't going to fix any problem, because even educated people listen to that voice inside them saying "it's time". People are not completely rational actors, and circumstances change - someone who can afford three children and who gets the sack and can 't find a job after that can't exactly hit their kid over the head with a hammer and go "sorry kid, you're breaking the budget" Education won't fix the cost of childcare, and neither will housing affordability. The fact that childcare will continue to be prohibitively expensive and a good bandaid fix to that is the rebate.
