Ten Becquerels posted:Colin Barnett again denies there's a chance of a leadership challenge against him. Why do these rumours always crop up when the government loses ground in the polls and then immediately go away? Is there ever any credibility to them, or are news outlets just giving a voice to politicians grumbling about each other? Colin specifically didnt want the job, but had to be coaxed back because the cupboard of LNP talent is especially bare in WA. The biggest land developer piped up a few months ago and started spreading rumors that Nalder was going to challenge, and then there was a vote where noone put forward their name and it all fizzled out fairly quickly.

Serrath posted:It's really goddamn rich of him to take a run for the leadership when his final moments in office were spent passing refugee policies widely and aggressively opposed by the UN. Has anyone put to him how he would have reconciled the differences in policy between the UN and himself concerning refugees if he had formally been nominated to run for leadership? Was his goal to double-down and try to make boat turnbacks a worldwide policy or was he planning on repudiating his own platforms as leader of Australia? Pretty sure his plan was to say whatever was needed to get a grip on power and hold it.

Pretty much. Depending on the setup, clients tend to hand over a large sum of money and then trust that the finplanner would handle it in a responsible manner. We had a system in place that meant funds could only be transferred out of an account, into an approved account specified by the client, but even then I could probably have ripped people off by forging a form to change that, transfer money and then changing it back. And if you are doing a lot of trading on a big account, it's easy to miss 20 grand here or there.

And don't make the mistake of thinking people with a lot of money are good with it. We had one couple who were worth more than 10 million bucks and repeatedly assured us they kept good records on our trading results, but would do things like not factor in 40k worth of dividends

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-09/brendon-grylls-elected-nationals-leader-in-wa/7706490?section=wa Brendon Grylls, cousin of Bear, is now leader of the nats in the west in an action that was definitely not knifing the existing leader in the back, or a spill motion. In somewhat good news, he favours taxing big miners a hell of a lot more, and not supporting the libs, unless Emperor Colin steps down.

Cant really disagree with the second part. I mean, i have no experience with contracts and poo poo, but even I can think of some minimum service level clauses that would gently caress a company over hard if they failed to meet expectations, but that would require the government standing up to business, and that just doesnt happen.

open24hours posted:I've heard they do that in prison, but I'd have thought even remote aboriginal communities would have access to something that would actually make drinkable alcohol. Like a bag of sugar or a bottle of cordial. You need sugar anyway. Thats what the yeast turn into alcohol. Cordial is a bit hit and miss because of the preservatives. Some fresh fruits can be used (never try pineapple *shudder*) along with things like ginger, cereal, fertiliser, tomato paste and various grains. fun fact : some brewers use egg shells because they stabilise the wash at nearly the perfect pH, and you can easily strain them out at the end, when you stain out the yeast goobers.
