This was never not going to blow up, when it was announced during the lame duck period was there actually anyone who thought it was going to happen? Let alone anyone in the government who knows how this poo poo works. Edit: I'm pretty sure at least one person pointed that out in this thread at the time of the announcement, it may even have been me

quote:“Family law is high on my agenda, I just think it needs a complete overhaul,” the One Nation leader told News Corp. “It needs court-approved premarital agreements on finance and parental issues. So before someone goes into a relationship or a marriage, you must have a premarital agreement. It would be confidential [and lodged with courts]. I just don't know what to say, it's just a wall of crazy. how do they think a 2% flat tax will pay for anything? That's less than the Medicare budget. norp fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Feb 5, 2017 |

In WA there is no coalition, and in fact the only reason Barnett got in 2 elections ago was because he was willing to throw 25% of mining royalties at national party seats in return for their support at giving him the premier position. If course after this preference deal there is zero chance of that this time, if there even was a chance after they got power in their own right and left the nationals out to dry last election.

DancingShade posted:Looks like it. Put it this way, if after NOT getting the lib preferences first the nats stay in coalition anyway that'll just formally cement their status as "Bitch". Once again, in WA the nats aren't in coalition* and are generally fairly hostile to the Libs. They tend to actually negotiate with labor when necessary too. * in the previous government they voted to provide the premiership to the Libs (labor refused their demands) but only got money and cabinet positions. They weren't in the party room or bound to any votes. The current liberal government governs in their own right if I'm 'membering correctly norp fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Feb 12, 2017 |

NPR Journalizard posted:Honestly not too sure. Would depend on whether or not they considered the copper that runs from the kerb to the house the property of the utility or not. Telstra owns (owned?) the lead in, up until the first termination inside the property line. On older houses it's the Telstra branded socket, newer ones it's a box on the outer wall.

Konomex posted:You've got me jittery. I want this so bad. Inheritance tax for anything over half a million (or a sensible figure not pulled from my rectum), excluding property below some reasonable amount (with house prices in Sydney, I've no idea what this might be). I know that in the us one way you got around inheritance tax was to take out a life insurance policy with your children as beneficiaries. (I.e pay someone a bunch of money to give your kids 90% of that money)

Some companies actually set unpaid overtime as a KPI.... Also it's really poo poo that the "reasonable overtime" clause exists in the legislation, makes the 38h full time hours law a bit of a joke.

Since there are quite loose "core hours" any overtime I work to get some deadline met beyond the amount they "require" simply gets taken back by sleeping in or leaving early. I also refuse actual overtime unless I get something decent. Last time I said yes to overtime it was saturdays for double time with catered lunch. Then again that was a T&M gig so double time was also doubling our margin - got a bonus for that one on top

rapeface posted:Okay, I've been distracted by Trump, what's this about Libs preferencing One Nation WA? I'm in (very?) Liberal Swan and wasn't going to vote for them anyway, but what else can I do besides give money to the Greens? Where do I find out who to call and yell at? It's only in rural (read: national party) seats, because the Libs burnt the Nats hard they are betting ONP are a more friendly looking crossbench. Also they are getting metro preferences in return.

A baby ate my dingo posted:Needless to say the employee turnover rate at that place was ridiculous. I've never put in more than a 43hr week with informal time in lieu because it's too hard to claw back doing 2hrs less a week. Longer than that and I'm asking for another, resource or more money. I'm never afraid of telling people their estimates are bullshit and they won't hit their deadlines. The trick is to do it early and not a week out from release.

Pretty sure that Harvey is just a landlord at this point, its all a big franchise scam that writes off losses on departments without affecting the parent company.
