Yeah I thought they're approve it too because they already want to slap a cruise ship terminal there. But they are still gonna put a cruise ship terminal there but...without the casino.

The PaTH (Prepare, Trial, Hire) scheme, which involves the government paying young jobseekers currently on welfare the princely sum of $100 a week to intern in the retail and hospitality sector, has been likened to “slavery” by the Australian Council of Trade Unions. Even though businesses get employees for free, and a cash payment of $1,000 per intern, the take up rate has been pretty low. The internships are available to young unemployed people and once enrolled in the PaTH program jobseekers will continue to receive their welfare payments while they’re working. So far this year only 1,015 internshipshave kicked off, and only 200 of those of have led to ongoing employment. That’s despite the government promising the program would deliver up to 30,000 internships a year. In order to accelerate the program the government has today announced a dealwith the Australian Hotels Association that will create 10,000 internships for young people in… pubs and clubs. Yep, the government will be paying young people as little $4 an hour to pull beers (and maybe other stuff? But probably mainly pouring drinks). In addition to paying interns extremely low wages, the government will also give every pub that signs up $1,000 for every intern they take on. I gotta say… this sounds like an extremely good deal for the pubs and an extremely poo poo deal for young people trying to find a job. Why would a pub or club hire a worker on a real salary when they can get youth labour for free from the government? Part of the reasoning behind the PaTH program is that it will apparently provide interns with skills that will help them secure ongoing work. But the Australian Hotels Association hasn’t yet outlined exactly what those skills are. Sure, there’s lots of things you can learn through working in a pub but up until now there’s been an expectation that those are on the job skills you develop while you’re being paid. Now the government is basically handing over 10,000 free workers to the hospitality industry. The Australian Council of Trade Unions is pretty livid with the deal, with secretary Sally McManus saying “This program is gifting young people to businesses, destroying jobs and not giving a single young person a useful skill or recognised qualification”. “Prime Minister Turnbull and [employment minister Michaelia] Cash are selling young people’s futures out from under them to shore up the votes of the business community,” she said. Who would have thought that the government could find a way to ruin the concept of paying young people to spend more time in pubs and clubs? Thanks for ruining pubs, Malcolm Turnbull.

Veteran Channel Nine political editor Laurie Oakes will retire later this month, saying he is "disillusioned" with the state of politics. The 73-year-old said he was slowing down and not able to "saddle up" for another leadership coup. It's happening

Is it weird that Trump looks more agreeable in that transcript as he said he is absolutely baffled by our boat obsession and "if they pose no threat then why don't you just release them"? Turnbull looks like a complete dunce

Can I just pop into say how hosed Medicare seems to be at the moment? I don't really know what's going on, I realistically only go to the doctor once or twice a year when I'm sick and today was one of those days. So it feels like every year I go down my list of GPs in my surrounding suburbs which do bulk billing and the amount of practices that bulk bill at all has narrowed down to about 3 and most GPs seems to only bulk bill in extremely specific circumstances (I had one tell me that they only bulk bill if you're a war veteran or under 18) but it just wasn't like this a year or so ago I've noticed alot of GPs that used to bulk bill or provide Medicare rebates simply don't anymore and charge anywhere from 80 to 100 dollars for an appointment. I shouldn't have to suburb hop to get affordable basic appointments what is going on? Are we being americanised by stealth?

Wow look at those conditions to join. Australian Young Fascists posted:With our biggest following in Melbourne but also a presence in NSW, QLD, TAS and WA there has never been a better time to get involved. You can help us out from anywhere in the country, but attending demonstrations will require an active participation in a city with a chapter.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she was horrified by the extent of allegations raised in last night's Four Corners programinto the dumping of waste from NSW into Queensland. The Four Corners investigation exposed an organised network of waste transporting and freighting companies sending waste by road and by rail to Queensland to avoid paying the high NSW landfill levy of $138 per tonne. Hahahaahahahahhaah what the gently caress NSW

My mother brought up SSM recently and said she believes that gays should marry but it shouldn't be called marriage. See I imagine people voting no on this thing based on such reasoning which by the way is more common than you think. Then you will have the vocal minority who will scream what next, polygamy!? I can easily see a plebiscite being close for a number of reasons. Mainly fence sitters, definition of marriage defenders and religious sects.

The Guardian reports Essential Research has Labor’s lead bouncing back to 54-46, after diminishing over recent weeks to 52-48 a week ago. The changes on the primary vote are rather striking by the standards of Essential’s fortnight rolling average, with Labor up three to 39% and the Coalition down two to a meagre 34% We are entering Ruddslide territory people
