Max Recruitment did me in over the six months I had to deal with them. Put them up against the same wall as Sarina Russo. It was only after I got a job myself that the say me down for an assessment. It was later that I realised they were trying to put me on a higher level of need so that they could get better government kickbacks for claiming they finally got me a job.

They're all bad by design. There is something patently wrong with a system that creates one of the richest people in Australia off unemployed people, who generally consider you more of a hindrance than a help.

So this was waiting for me when I sat down today : Melbourne IT have put out a press release about a Orbital Angular Momentum fibre optic cable chip that will revolutionize optics, including the NBN (somehow)

Why is Science reporting so bad? The article is basically saying they are using circularly polarised light in addition to vertical and horizontal polarisation. Instead they frame it as spin angular momentum that nobody is going to understand and don't even mention polarisation. It took me a minute with my half forgotten knowledge to understand what they were saying.

Deafheaven are too hipster as they combined black metal with shoegaze and post rock/post metal thus ruining the black metal purity and are far and away the most mainstream/popular black metal has ever been. They are also really loving good.

Metal fusion genres are universally good, while 'pure' metal genres are all trash.
Change my mind.

Do post-metal or doom count as pure genres? Either way check out Planning for Burial, Russian Circles and King Woman



no, mebby. I joke, but I do think that good metal is heavily influenced by music outside of metal though. The type of 'metal in the style of metal' not only tends to sound all samey, but it lures in the chuds. Haven't heard of King Woman...

Opinion: Facts of the Nauru asylum-seeker debate

Pezzullo is not some Coalition stooge. He worked for former Labor foreign minister Gareth Evans. He was also deputy chief of staff to then Labor opposition leader Kim Beazley.

... but here is Pezzullo’s recent evidence, noting it is an offence to mislead.

quote:

Management of conflict of interest
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that early in 2014 Pezzullo's brother, Fabio, escaped a criminal conviction after he confessed to lying to an inquiry investigating corruption at Sydney airport.

Fabio Pezzullo, a former Customs officer, was fined and placed on a two-year good behaviour bond for perjuring himself before a corruption watchdog. The 42-year-old was charged after an investigation over allegations he sold prescription drugs to fellow Sydney Airport Customs officers and lied to the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity. The commission was investigating several of his colleagues for drug importation and bribery. Despite being told verbally and in writing not to tell anyone of the summons, Fabio Pezzullo told his flatmate, a former Customs officer. Fabio Pezzullo's sentencing took place in June 2014.

While the case was underway Michael Pezzullo was fulfilling senior executive roles in Customs and Border Protection, but had disclosed the conflict to his Minister from the outset. In a note to staff regarding the case he was reported to have said: "from the outset, I asked and expected to be treated as a detached family member with no official rights, interests or powers in the matter." The communique also details the processes that were implemented to manage any real or perceived conflict of interest relating to the case.
