Happy New Financial Year!

Australian's all let us rejoice If you earn over 80k a year this year, 120k next, and 200k thereafter
for we are young and free You'd better hope it's free with the penalty rate cuts and HECS repayment threshold lowered
with golden soil and wealth for toil In the gig economy wealth for lifters only so you'll be sleeping on that golden soil
our land is girt by sea gently caress Off, We're Full

Our land abounds in natures gifts Uranium, iron ore, natural gas, coal
of beauty rich and rare No jokes here, it's seriously loving rare because we won't see a dime from any of it
In history's page let every stage Book burnings will commence at noon under the Bunnings Snag Stand
Advance Australia Fair No Fat Chicks

It's more likely to topple the Opposition leader - there's a campaign in the media being built by someone to do it.

Yeah, the usual "by-elections tend to go to the incumbent" narrative has amazingly dried up. Now suddenly if Labor don't win these seats they didn't hold in the first place it's a comment on Shorten's leadership.

How? There are 5 by-elections. 4 seats are held by Labor already, and in the 5th Labor have never been remotely competitive.

Coles are on an EBA, so they're unaffected. Unaffected in that they still get poo poo penalty rates and have done for years.

That reminds me, when do the cuts to weekend penalty rates start?


Also, the joke I made in the last thread about management referring staff to read their policies on aggressive customers is apparently true. I have a niece who works at a servo that's getting rid of their plastic bags and she told me this morning that they sent out a memo to all staff detailing how they should deal with rude and violent customers losing their poo poo over it.

So, we're literally beyond parody at this point.

Australian Super was one. I found sign up very easy, they have an Android app that tells you when your employer drops some cash in your account and other stuff, they have an ethical investment plan, they let you opt out of some insurance and do the white collar fee reduction application at sign up rather than hiding it. All good things.

"Also Sprach Arnold Jacobs: A Developmental Guide for Brass Wind Musicians" refers to the mullet as an important tool for professional cornet playing and box smashing black and blood
Plastic bag ban is both a green nwo conspiracy and good legislation.

We have helped saved the planet, with capitalism (something that was bad for the environment used to be free but now costs money. More poor people, better planet).

Plastic bags are a silly thing to get upset over, but saving the planet by only letting rich people have the bad things is something legitimate to get upset over. It's like an emotional rollercoaster of ideology.
