You see a mining company that destroys an irreplaceable historic site is a bit like a bad father or a bad husband. Not withstanding all their faults, you find that they tend to do more good than harm. They might be destroying some of the most significant cultural artefacts on the planet but at least they're employing someone.

No man ever did me so much good, or enemy so much harm, but I repaid him with ENDLESS SHITPOSTING

quote:

Police allege that a former candidate for Clive Palmer’s United Australia party has used a fake Facebook page to organise anti-lockdown protests, which makes for one huge yikes of a sentence.
Tony Pecora, 43, who was allegedly operating under the alias of ‘Arkwell Tripelligo‘, has been charged with organising the event ‘Melbourne Walk For Freedom’, the Melbourne Magistrates Court heard on Friday.
The anti-lockdown protest was scheduled to run on Saturday in the Royal Botanic Gardens, with more than 1,500 people indicating they were going. Current rules in Victoria state that no more than two people can meet up in public.
Supposedly the man has some pretty wild beliefs, including one he apparently told the police, that COVID-19 is a “genetically engineered virus created by world banks to kill off weaker humans,” which is more than just a spicy take.
According to Detective Acting Senior Sergeant David Schaefer, Pecora also claimed to be a “combatant in the game of geopolitical chess” and “called on (his supporters) to remain united against the forces of darkness and demanded that the Victorian Premier be arrested for treasonous activities”

And without it we're left with panel shows that are just openly racist and right-wing.

Anyway CBS slowly dialing down Ten's life support is a bad thing. Even without taking a political view of where the networks sit along the spectrum from centrist to right-wing, gutting the Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane newsrooms is just as bad as all the regional newspapers constantly going out of business. Less scrutiny of local issues and local politics is not good for anyone.

I was watching a Senate committee the other day (for work, not my usual past-time) and they were talking to producers who were basically saying the entire industry is in crisis because it's so reliant on backpacker labour and while there are some who are stuck here, there are certainly no more coming in, and the labour pool is basically draining every day as all those French and German and British kids gradually go home. I'm not surprised they'd shove Centrelink recipients out on the front line, but they were even spitballing trying to recruit grey nomads, prisoners, or offering school leavers a HECS discount if they go do a season of picking. (Which, frankly, if I was a Year 12 student staring down the barrel of beginning university in my bedroom on my laptop, wouldn't sound too bad as a gap year option.) The obvious response I had was "maybe it was a bad idea to make agriculture and horticulture entirely dependent on working holidaymakers," but it is a genuine pickle when you can't just change that lovely, gradual, not-quite-policy decision overnight.

Pretty much. I had a friend who did a few summers of cherry picking in Tasmania in his 20s and loved it - start at 5:00am, listen to your iPod while doing repetitive manual labour in the fresh air all morning, knock off in the early arvo and spend the rest of the day smoking weed and swimming in the river with the European backpackers. If you're young and don't mind relocating, communal living and early starts, it's probably better than a lot of the other lovely manual labour jobs out there.

You can certainly make a salary picking. Professional pickers I worked with drove nice new Honda’s and even a BMW but I couldn’t pick as fast as them. I saved up my first couple of years uni living money working every break picking snow peas, chili’s, squash and other fruit and vege. gently caress okra will never pick that again if I can avoid it but I done a bit of hand corn harvesting last year, did remind me picking is hard work until you get your groove again.

Keep in mind that part of the reason backpackers pick fruit is because they need to spend a certain number of days working in a rural area to get a second year on their working holiday visa.

quote:

Queensland police have said they are “making enquiries” after an officer was photographed allegedly wearing a patch associated with far-right extremism at a Black Lives Matter protest on Friday.
Photographs circulating on social media showed an Australian police officer wearing a patch depicting the US flag bisected diagonally with a blue line. It appears very similar to popular variations of the “thin blue line” flag used by extreme rightwing groups in the US.
This symbol's difficult to mow into a lawn, so if you think about it he was forced to wear the patch, really
