GoldStandardConure posted:Ask any of your male (straight) friends if they gently caress guys and that will let you know if its gendered or not. Come on mate, you know context changes the word completely. Its shortform and casual slang to address a group of people and sure it didn't used to be but its basically like non-english speaking countries still using "Hello" or "poo poo", "gently caress" ect. They are short words that are fun to say in any country and the meaning is universally known. I can sit at a table full of Chinese people and short universal english words are thrown into spoken mandarin sentences by today's youth because short cool english words have cross cultural power - including across the microcultures between genders.

I would say Labor is more than small target given they have more policies than the government at the moment. Scomo doesn't even have an energy policy. Only action he's taken is to create drought squad and eat strawberries.

So I'm watching 7 News because I like to stay in touch with how things are getting reported. Some cop got hit by a stolen car and the news are reporting it as the work of "The Southside Gang" a gang I've never heard of before but is apparently stealing cars to hit police officers with and it cuts to Tim Mander giving some law and order speech and hmm this looks familiar *looks at Victoria* Do media buddies fabricate gangs these days?

There is probably a direct correlation between gangs forming and the drive to get the LNP elected.

Alright boys we need to boot a Labor State Government from power. How do we do it? I know lets get some photos of teens posing infront of money and say they are a criminal gang stealing luxury cars and running over police officers. *2 weeks later* Generic Liberal Opposition Leader: This government has a problem with law and order, furthermore ect ect ect. - End L/NP Re-election flowchart -

It scares me how quickly they can transfer the gang issue to QLD. It's interesting, you get a cop mate to say a gang might exist and suddenly: It's basically a free +2 boost in the polls.

Lion announced job cuts at the Milton XXXX Brewery, after the union protested the leaks of job cuts and outsourcing jobs to NSW and bringing in casual contracts. Then Lion got the FWC to stop union protests because the FWC ruled the union wasn't protesting in good faith. Today Lion announces job cuts and I've read the Courier Mail comments section and they all blame the union for biting the hand that feeds them.

Taking time off work to surf the web is time theft ASK most employees what it means to steal from their employer and you’re likely to get answers that relate to taking home office stationery or fabricating work-related expenses. But there’s another form of theft which is far more prevalent in our workplaces than we care to acknowledge or recognise, and it’s growing and impacting the bottom line of many organisations Time theft that occurs when employees accept payment for time that they did not put into their work – and it is more easily executed by those with fixed paid hours as opposed to those in salaried positions who must perform the job regardless of the hours required. It occurs in many different forms but it is one particular type that has thrust the concept in to the spotlight in recent times – using paid work time for online personal activities. It might be ten minutes here or ten minutes there but over time and across multiple employees the loss can soon add up with time theft estimated to cost Australian organisations billions of dollars each year. How often, for example have you spent time at work surfing online to get the best airfares for your summer vacation abroad? Or perhaps you have been made aware of a sale at your favourite retailer but because of your work commitments you have embarked upon some online shopping during working time to secure a bargain? Maybe it’s simply that you while away your work day chatting to your cyberfriends via your favourite social media sites or you find it more convenient to pay your bills online during the work day. The bottom line is that if you do engage in these behaviours regularly then you are most probably committing time theft. For many employees who engage in time theft, it does not stop at online surfing. Think also about the paid work time devoted to lengthy non-work related chats, extended breaks, late starts, or even early knock-offs. Of course, most employers acknowledge and accept that many employees will devote a small amount of work time to attending to personal matters - and many employees, will make up the time by reducing their breaks or extending their work hours. But the bottom line is that time theft through personal web surfing reduces productivity and employers are increasingly taking steps to curb their losses. They recognise that the actions of an employee engaged in time theft can negatively impact on others when they see that that timeliness is not recognised and there are no consequences. And when counterproductive behaviour is perceived as acceptable behaviour in the workplace, it spreads like a plague of locusts. So next time you decide to play an online computer game during work time, perhaps rethink that move – you’ll be a winner in the eyes of your employer. Professor Gary Martin is Chief Executive Officer, the Australian Institute of Management WA. Chatting to co workers is theft.

I am a firm believer that immigration policy will shift into something good once they are in government. They are just playing me too at the moment so the Liberals have nothing to campaign about. The reason 2016 was almost a hung parliament was because Labor gave Turnbull nothing to campaign onand nothing to talk about. Bill Shorten is quite a carefully calculated operator, look what the ALP did with the Dutton leaks. They know how to cook a Tory government and I say let them cook a Tory government.

Keep in mind when Labor undid some Howard era policy the media started running fake stories about refugees on Centrelink staying in 5 star hotels. This was before #fakenews so who knows what would happen if they tried again. It's not just the voters any immigration softening needs to be cautious of, it's the landscape of media assholes who aren't dying anytime soon or if they are they have a child heir who is just as bad. Even if the media landscape in Australia softened on immigration, the internet won't and social media won't. If anything the lies about boat people will only get worse due to how widespread social media is and how quickly news stories from patriotwatchaustralia.info tricks idiot ute driving swing voters. It's a really tough pickle. I don't know if the ALP can fix it but I hope they try.

Both are possible. It only took a clear out of Anna Bligh in Queensland to get an acceptable Labor Government after Campbell Newman and currently Queensland is in the middle of legalising abortion, something that wasn't previously thought possible under prior state governments. The LNP will always hear their master's voice in the IPA but when Labor gets a good clean out you would be surprised that the result is sometimes better rather than worse.

ReachTel 51-49 to the LNP in Wentworth. LNP 40.6 ALP 19.5 Phelps 16.9 Heath 9.6 Greens 6.2 ReachTel is currently predicting Labor ahead of Phelps, 52% of Phelps supporters said decision to preference LNP ahead of Labor made them less likely to vote for her. Sharma will need about two-thirds of Phelps’ voters to put him ahead of Labor to win.
