If you end up at the table with him, ask Jonesy if he really did gently caress those teenagers he coached at that school.

Something I don't get - Latham tried saying that he didn't mean 'gay' as a pejorative when he got fired, but with the launch of his new... whatever... he's using gay as a pejorative a few times. Can anyone explain what appears to be an inconsistency in his behaviour?

Yeah, getting big business to fight your battles for you only works when you're in opposition. Maybe this government still hasn't worked out it's in government?

quote:“Labor and Greens vote together to block legislation, it’s not an easy time to deal with the Senate or the debt that we’ve got, much easier if you’re spending money and making people happy. Not like when Rudd/Gillard were in and the LNP voted with every one of their measures.

If there's one thing I've learned from studying oppression -fascism in Europe to the people seeking to free themselves in the colonies to people seeking racial equality in the US - it's that violence is never an answer. Now excuse me while I huff this fart.

I'll always remember when I worked for Centrelink and they changed the way trusts were assessed for youth allowance. This guy called up about his son's payment and said "You can't ask for that information! It's invading my privacy!" so I explained Centrelink can ask for whatever the gently caress they want (in bureaucratese, of course). Then he says, "Well, he doesn't want the payment then! Cancel it!" like he was never going to do business with our company ever again. The entitlement some of these fuckers have is just breath-taking.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:My friend had a bunch of trouble with centrelink, because her dad had a trust that he was supposedly paying her with, but it was just a huge tax rort for his company and he wouldn't fill out any paper work saying he wasn't paying her. Luckily she could prove she and he were estranged. Probably wasn't loving hard.

That sounds like the Tucson shooting (with Gabrielle Gifford), and we'll never really know why that one went down. The guy was anti-government but also schizophrenic. I'm not saying either was the sole cause, just a little from column a and a little from column b.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:Doesn't Iran have state subsidised gender reassignment surgeries? I mean they're a backwards authoritarian theocracy, but it's not as if they'd be shocked and no one has ever come out as queer in Iran. Iran's complicated. People from the country hate queer people and will hang them (my understanding is those hanging-from-cranes pictures you see are from the more rural areas), but many in the city are quite liberal. There was one student at work who needed a hand with the photocopier who had dyed, wild hair and clothes that were less than modest who I thought at first was an Australian or an Australian resident. Her passport was Iranian and in the passport she had the hijab on. These Iranians see their government as backwards and a deep embarrassment, like we see Tony Abbott or Donald Trump. There's a thriving gay underground culture in Iran, so I guess what I'd say to my former friend in that instance is, it depends on who you come out to.

I just can't get over how lucky we are to have our house. We borrowed the deposit off my brother-in-law who got a big compensation payout. We paid him back - with interest - and now we've got a house with 200 thou left on it and 20 thou in savings. There are so many people up poo poo creek I feel some days I don't deserve it.

This is 100% confirmation bias, but if I get a student who doesn't even know how to log in to a computer, much less how to convert a document to PDF and submit it to turnitin, they're either doing religious studies or a Masters in Creative Writing. I'm not complaining. They keep me in a job.
