Back in highschool we went through 5 chaplains in three years. The first one was removed because of multiple inappropriate conversations with female students. The second was removed because he propositioned a grade 10 girl for sexual activities. Third left on his own accord after a student threatened him with a screwdriver. (We later found out that he’d told the student that his Zimbabwean heritage was sin or something along those lines) Fourth was an all around creep was told not to film students on multiple occasions And the fifth was removed during a music lesson after it was found out he had Skyped naked with male students. I hated religious people after years of terrible private schools but after that I am a very devout atheist 😂

The Before Times posted:Minimum wage increased by a whole 3.5 per cent! This isn't all that bad considering VECCI et al were rolling out the horseshit brigade really hard on CPI. Also think about all the low paid EBAs out there for whom 3.5% plus maybe a .2% or .5% is a decent result considering recent history. I think it might be 5-6 years since there was a 3% or greater increase.

It's pretty decently above inflation, not as high as I'd like it but it's not an awful result. I'll be interested to see what my union manages to negotiate in 2019. We're at 3.75% pa increase at the moment.

With any luck negotiations on rates will become slightly easier as a result, but yeah it isn't going to result in a storm of EBA free kicks or massed hand clapping.

While we’re cracking down on GST on low value purchases... What exactly is the purpose of the Tourist Refund Scheme? Is it meant to encourage tourism and tourists to make their purchases in Australia? Does it even have a material impact on tourism?

Popular electronic musician and YouTuber Nick Bertke has shared a bizarre rant in which he labels gay people "an abomination". The Perth-based man, who was born in South Africa and goes by the stage name 'Pogo', is best known for sampling animated Disney films and turning them into electro songs. His music video for "Alice in Wonderland" has been viewed over 20 million times on YouTube. Bertke uploaded the video last month, telling fans why he chose the name 'F***ttron' for his YouTube channel. “I’ve always had a very thorough dislike of homosexuals,” he says in the video. He continues: “I’ve never liked a grown man acting like a 12-year-old girl. I’ve always found that to be quite disgusting. And so I thought to myself, how best can I express to the world that gays are just an abomination?” “To be a bit more P.C. about it, how can I express to the world that I view gays as an abomination?” he added. He went on to laugh about the Orlando Pulse massacre. It's not the first time the Australian has expressed his controversial views, having previously expressed an intense disrespect for women.

True story I have a friend from South Africa that I met living in Perth who used to go on religious missions and is still devout, but he is a good person and speaks ill of no one. It's absolutely hosed up.

When I last spoke to her I think she was similarly lost on why it exploded and why people care, but as a young journo I guess you take what you can get. I mean, wealthy folks are going to find reasons to be outraged and aggrieved and can keep it going for a long time. Hollandia fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Jun 1, 2018 |
