Apparently a second Australian was killed in London and she's a hot blonde.

e: also noting that the family needs to clarify that she doesn't drink or do drugs and this speaks to her being a "good person".

God that's depressing. The only measure of a person to the media is which vices they fail to indulge.

Your guy just blamed Australia for terrorism and you think that is going to gel with swing voters. What the loving lol. If they want that speech they can vote for the Greens, that's fine and good for the country. The ones that are swinging left to right don't give a gently caress about anything in that fancily worded statement.

Yeah let's never try to educate or inform discussion, don't include nuance or try to change the terms of a debate, just engage with the LNPs talking points whole cloth and then we'll win the discussion we've allowed them to frame somehow.

They are frequently challenged in the media but frightened people are hard to turn, especially when they turn the fear into fury at an other. I don't think the ALP is particularly interested in spending one or more election cycles educating people on a better way to defeat terrorism because parliamentary democracy is a reactionary garbage fire.

The problem with this is that people then never get educated and everyone slides further into knee jerk reactionism and we get theater instead of good policy. I don't know what the solution to parliamentary garbage fire is though. Probably strong institutions but har har har, efficiency dividended to death.

That's why you're the Worst English Speaking Country!

Britain was only temporarily worse because of Brexit, which was super duper stupid and racist, but they made up for it with Corbae and the nightmare leprechaun shitstorm now descending upon their tory party.

While I don't mind your perspective I'm pretty sure that racistly shooting yourself in the dick because man, shooting my dick off is sure going to hurt those browns (AKA brexit) still isn't worse than torturing refugees in offshore hell camps. I'm sorry.

Also I'm sorry.

Was possible, or is possible?

Corbyn was only allowed to stand as a joke by right wing MPs.

And got elected by vote of membership and is constantly sabotaged by the leadership. I mean the treatment of Corbyn by Labor is the best possible argument that change from within isn't possible because everyone who's in charge of within doesn't want it.

I'm a monster who's on the dole and needs to vent.

I turned down a job as a sales/logistics coordinator because it was paying minimum wage when, based on my research, people on average earn about $25 for that position. I could've accepted less than that, but the employer wouldn't raise the pay and we parted on amicable terms. I contacted my recruitment agency to let them know and they said my Newstart might now be at risk of termination because I didn't accept suitable employment. I pointed out that this forces me to accept employment I don't want, which screws over the employer a few months down the road when I find better work and they've wasted time training me (this was a small business and I would have been running their whole office, so they would have ended up in a very lovely position). I pointed out that being forced into the job makes me less flexible in terms of taking calls/attending interviews for jobs I do want. I didn't point out that any employer who went through the agency and was aware of these terms could force people into contracts offering less pay than the position deserves. I also didn't point out that this could lead to me attending interviews for jobs I don't want and tanking them just so I'm meeting my obligations.

It's absurd. They know I'm actively trying to find work. I got interviewed and offered the job two hours after the agency told me about it. I liked it and would've accepted if the pay was reasonable. And now I might be cut off from assistance. I doubt Centrelink are going to appreciate the nuances of the situation.

This is unbelievably lovely and a perfect example of the system failing to provide for a person doing the right thing. Centrelink should be supporting job seekers getting the right job not getting "any loving job". It's totally missing the forest for the trees in terms of economic outcomes and going straight to kicking the poor.

gently caress.

Also you are right logistics co-ordinators are usually not a minimum wage role.

Guess my brother was lucky as gently caress. He just recently quit his agency job after working in a plastic bag factory. They weren't giving him proper safety gear to deal with the fumes from the glue and his agency didn't even ask why, just gave him a new job on the Monday.

Holy poo poo please have him report this to a regulator or safety agency or union or loving something.

Thanks. I needed to hear someone say it's as lovely as it appears to me.

I have to wait until tomorrow to hear back from the agency. I might be okay on the technicality that I've said I'm looking for full-time work and the position was part-time (for some reason the employer told the agency it's full-time when it was only 20 hours). Also, they were only paying $13 during the training period, which has to be illegal? Hopefully the agency consider this and doesn't forward anything to Centrelink, but who knows.

Maybe some of the more workplace law educated can comment on this one (JBP?) but I'm pretty sure they can't do that.

It's not very subtle "poor shaming". I know quite a few people who have had it sufficiently drilled into them that they'd never go on the dole because they're not that kind of person just because of how demonised it's become.

Well lesson learned for centrelink, if the job doesn't appeal to you or pays slave rates or you don't want it, don't turn it down, just start asking about if any blacks or jews (substitute with racial epithet to taste) work there and how much you can't stand them so you don't get hired.

EDIT: 1 epithet == 1 prayer
