Yeah because using sucking dick as an insult is totally not in any way at all an implicit gay slur

Yes because using "sucking dick" as a perjorative in no way implies that anyone other than a cishetero male is inferior and A Bad Thing

I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.
Australian television icon Bert Newton is facing a social media backlash over comments he made when presenting the Graham Kennedy Award for most popular new talent at the 60th annual Logie Awards tonight.

Having referred to himself using a gay slur, Newton joked that his former co-star Kennedy enjoyed "mentoring" young talent behind closed doors.

"Speaking of young talent, Graham Kennedy was always the sort of man who nurtured young talent," Newton said.

"He enjoyed giving young people a chance on television, he was a great mentor, he mentored a lot of young people.

"You knew if you went to his dressing room and it was locked, he would be inside doing some mentoring.

TL;DR, the Australian TV community from inception to sometime in the mid 90s was a thinly disguised paedophile ring

As you say, bad people use "sucking dick" as a negative, but since it was used as a positive here, as something we should all be ok with, what is your point?

Kindly gently caress off.

The inquiry will sit through a final day of evidence on agricultural finance before turning its attention to how lenders targeted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities for funeral insurance.

i was reading an article the other day about how an "aboriginal community benefit fund" company was hitting up indigenous single mothers at 30, to cover themselves and their kids for up to $100,000 over a lifetime, and then basically telling them to read the fine print after refusing to honour the claims. coincidentally the indigenous community service was being run by a white dude out of an office on the gold coast so

JOB snobs and bludgers who refuse to apply for work will have amber and red traffic light colours flash on their phones to warn they are about to lose their welfare payments.

In a major shake-up starting today, jobseekers face a demerit point system which is supported by a new Job Seeker app. It will provide constant reminders about meeting their obligations. The dashboard will use strong visual and written warnings.

The no-more excuses plan, will use traffic light colours to show whether the job seeker is in the green (fully compliant) zone; the amber (warning) zone; or red (penalty) zone.

Under the new system, if job seekers fail to attend interviews or apply for a required number of jobs, they will likely lose their Newstart payment. It will be reinstated once obligations are met.

If they have no reasonable excuse for failing to meet requirements, a demerit point will be added to their record.

If five demerit points are clocked up within six months, backpay will be withheld, even if they turn-up for interviews or apply for work.

If requirements are met for three months, demerit points will return to zero.

The amber indicator will show demerit points and how far to go to the red or penalty zone. Serious failures such as blatantly refusing to work, means immediate loss of payment for four weeks.

The system will be managed by jobseekers, who will self-report and confirm they have met their requirements, and overseen by job active provider.

Jobs Minister Michaelia Cash said the system was designed to make the process of finding a job easier.

“The new framework is fairer because it recognises that the majority of job seekers do the right thing and should therefore not receive financial penalties,’’ Senator Cash said.

“It will, however, penalise those who exploit the welfare system by wilfully and repeatedly gaming the rules in order to receive income support payments. This system will reinforce the rights and obligations of both government and those seeking assistance.”

We should just have a points system where entering the red zone bans you from public places until you fix it. You also have to wear a hat with a light on it that uses the green, amber, red system.

Also if you go into red zone an alarm sounds perpetually until you rectify it.

I got whatever the student thing was when I was in uni and have mercifully never had to interact with centrelink again. I've got two friends that are centrelink reliant rn (one has a permanent injury and one just has the shittiest luck of anyone I've ever met) and what they go through as far as time and stress seems way more onerous than having a crappy job.
