I couldn't figure out where to put criticism of white feminism and TERFS :negative:

Criticism of TERF is applied to second wave exclusively but white feminist criticisms of third wave exist though not as pronounced or severe than against second wave. Third wave feminism was the early gestation of intersectionality so while it exists it isn't as pronounced as the fourth wave, alongside arguments of feminism and social class/caste. Its most often expressed in brief "their hearts in the right place but they're ignorant."

Full disclosure i'm a third waver.

yup.

I honestly get pretty frustrated with a lot of the left libertarianism attached to some brands of feminism. I'm not sure which school it belongs to though.

and the capitalist feminism that likes to go hand in hand with white feminism.

I'll just hop into my loving time machine with the newfound information that I won't ever be able to afford a house and let 12-year-old me know. That's really going to help kick-start the anxiety I'll have for the rest of my life. lol.

if I had a time machine I'd sell it and buy a house

Yeah, the problems are:

1) you�re correct, it�s not enough
2) affected council = every single council
3) while they did the press release and all to get credit for acting in the two weeks since they still haven�t released details of how the funding will work so how can people start negotiating interim contracts
4) the sustainability fund has like $700m sitting in it and is explicitly purposed for work on improving waste management in Victoria but instead of dipping into it for major market crisis like this they give parks Victoria tens of millions for asset management and dumb poo poo like that

yep and some of the smaller rural councils are fukt notwithstanding the waste management issue.

If it's anything like the majority of vicgov funds, the Sustainability fund is probably chronically oversubscribed and already has too many applications in the pipeline lol

my favourite thing is that they're implying staff are going to take advantage of ALL THE LEAVE. it's not like they get paid out if they don't take the 4 days' bereavement leave or whatever

4 weeks annual leave. 13 public holidays. Average firefighter works 42 hours a week (48 hours over 5 days). Gets paid for 38. Unpaid hours get accrued as leave. It's really not that remarkable. But the Hun loving hates the UFU. They've given the UFU something like 35+ front pages over the last few years. And now other agencies are jumping on a lovely, half-baked story.

yeah but Firefighters COULD GET up to 190 DAYS PAID LEAVE*!!!

*that's if they take family violence leave, bereavement leave, all their sick/carers leave, parenting leave, study leave, and all of their rec leave in one year, but we'll focus on how it's UNION THUGGERY GONE MAD

My favourite fact about the estate tax is how people find the will to leave solely because they get to avoid tax

See also here, which found that "while the evidence of "death elasticity" is "not overwhelming," every $10,000 in available tax savings increases the chance of dying in the low-tax period by 1.6 percent."

is it weird to think that if you don�t pay any tax you shouldn�t get any tax returns? because like i feel that�s a fairly reasonable starting point for tax reform

no you see, these people have WORKED HARD all their lives to contribute to the economy and they've ALREADY PAID THEIR FAIR SHARE of taxes because taxes are like a bank account that you cash in at retirement yeah?

I grew up in the Huon when it was all working class depression and alcoholism and now its all mid-winter festivals and cider houses. The town I grew up in now has a sushi bar. The weird thing is though the locals themselves haven't changed a bit. Its derros in ug boots sipping sav blanc and eating fancy cuisine. Such amazing times we live in.

yes! it is so weird to me that it's become such a desirable location. I lived in Huonville in the 90s and it was definitely not mid-winter festivals and cider houses. There was, however, a chicken feed within walking distance.

Can't wait to see the response from Cory. Wonder if the Australian Conservatives as a brand will even last out his entire senate term.

Probably not--they seem to have lost a lot of steam following the marriage survey outcome and given that Turnbull has almost entirely capitulated to the conservative faction of the LNP

I can't see a way the LNP comes out of this looking good. First, the bill was (I think) about compensation for firefighters whose cancer was contracted in their line of duty. Secondly it's making a big song and dance of being religious and then, whoops soz nvm. Can't look good in a state where there are A LOT of Catholics.

It'll also backfire against them in the next parliament. If LNP win it'll be a hair thin majority, and this gives Labor licence to just say "nope gently caress you" when the LNP legit needs pairs. that'll make it difficult to pass all the legislation they might want to pass
