If you'd like I can run interference. I have very strong opinions re the Perth 2020 Mayoral race, specifically re that bootlicker Basil Zempilas.

Basil is a greasy dirtbag. If you have any specific stories about him I am all ears and can probably pass them on to a journo who is thinking about writing a story on him.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09-18/former-premier-colin-barnett-wants-juukan-gorge-royal-commission/12678126

quote:

Former West Australian premier Colin Barnett has called for a royal commission into Rio Tinto's destruction of ancient rock shelters in the Pilbara.

Mr Barnett, whose granted the company consent to destroy Aboriginal sites in 2013, said the issue was of such significance it warranted an independent inquiry with judicial powers.

Between that line and the photo chosen, someone at the ABC doesnt like Colin. Which is good because he can gently caress off.

The 2nd wave occurred because security guards were not trained properly and there was not a system in place to prevent their own personal mistakes (yes, flagrant restriction breaking) from threatening the community.

That is Dan Andrews' failure, and his failure alone. And if it was a Liberal government you would say the same thing.

Dan was the trainer in charge of all security guards, right, gotcha.

As a side note it's really fuckin weird that this thread which advocates abolishing the police is in favour of so many of these measures that exist purely to make policing easier.

As a side note, noone is advocating for this. Defunding the police is not abolishing the police. I am completely unsuprised you are unable to grasp this nuance, and have fallen for the right wing bullshit about the movement.

*still not clear to me whether or not they're actually aiming for WA/SA-style elimination but don't want to say so out loud in case they fail, so they couch it in terms of "zero community transmission"

Well, how exactly do you define elimination? WA has a bunch of active covid cases, but they are pretty much all overseas travelers returning, or boats from other countries.

at work we've noted that sick leave is down a lot this year. from digging deeper we found that genuinely fewer people were unwell this year (as they're less likely to get a cold / flu due to melb lockdown), but we also found that staff were more than likely to work when unwell at home and for a variety of reasons.

i've actually gone out of my way to remind staff to take the day off if they're unwell and that there is no expectation for them to do more from home than they would have done when they were in the office. some have listened, some haven't.

My partner literally took today off because she is sick, but i just walked back from the bedroom where I found her doing work on her laptop.
