For a brief period, you could find the condensed version of the show on youbute. All the bullshit cut out, just the runs.

Reminded me of the old Mythbusters Streamlined you could find back in the day.

My fave is getting sent home for coughing too much and then getting in trouble for not having a doctors certificate to make that a valid sick day.

Sick days need to loving change. Either make a doctor's certificate available online or via phone consultation or, preferably, if your staff say they're sick, believe them.

My workplace moved to 4 day weeks and they are amazing. Do recommend.

I've been doing 9� hour/4 day weeks for the last couple years now and it still feels like a holiday every week.

I literally cannot overstate the benefit to my mental wellbeing from having three days in a row.

I'm not "technically" on a 4 day week, I just moved all my poo poo around so I would be. Ordinarily, I'd absolutely hate working an extra 90minutes a day but, knowing it gives me 3 days off, more than makes up for it.

I'd love to see a world where no one worked more than 7 hours/4 days (better would be even less, natch) and could still earn a living wage. I try to convince all the other staff to do it, too.

Like the opposite of a crab bucket. Crab trampoline, if you will.

It�s honestly astounding that you seem to think that following the advice of the expert body established specifically to provide this kind of advice is some kind of fringe position.

If ATAGI decides, upon examination of all the evidence, that I should go get AZ, I'll immediately get on the app and and book a jab.

Until then, I'll continue to take their advice over self-serving politicians and their booklicks.

Looking at the exposure sites, it seems someone drove down to Barwon Heads to visit the football club, went to officeworks and an Apco.

Just the dumbest poo poo. Had to be someone "just going for a drive to the beach". Now there are three tier two contact sites 80km out of Melbourne.

And I know that Apco, it's huge and incredibly busy.

Why is that the dumbest poo poo? If they had no symptoms and didn�t know they had been exposed why would someone not go for a drive like that? If us pursuing no underlying community transmission means you still shouldn�t go more than 3 metres from your front door for fear of unknowingly spreading the virus then what the gently caress is the point of it?

"If they had no symptoms" doing a lot of lifting in that sentence.

It's pretty easy to identify kids in need who are acting out. Actually helping them despite the best efforts of "tough on crime" politicians and cops is the actual hard part.

He invested a huge amount of political capital in pushing the AZ before the whole blot clot thing came up.

Naturally, rather than using the best information available and jumping on Pfizer, he has to pretend his first decision was right all along and doesn't care what negative effects this will have on people.

A great plan if it had come a few weeks ago accompanied by an early lockdown to ensure the outbreak didn't spread, but there's no loving chance any premier is going to get their states to be on board with the idea when they are now facing down the barrel as well.

I know the Democrats managed to do this once* with some horrific bill the GOP were trying to push through that would have broken a tonne of poo poo in their country, but were doing it just so they could scream about how the Dems were blocking them. So, the Democrats just stepped aside and refused to oppose it, meaning it would have gone through by default.

That meant all the Republicans had to scramble to stop their own bill from becoming law.

you'd think a prolonged lockdown would be worse for business than a couple of uppity casuals not having to be your wage slaves for a couple of days or at worst a week or so?

Because companies are woefully understaffed. Even one person calling out sick can throw everything upside down because there is literally no one else to come in to work to cover for them.

Staff members have absolutely no power to get people to sign in, but the health directives say they're responsible if people don't do it.

I can just imagine some poor bastard having spent their 8 hours being abused only to be called in by a manager saying "We've received a number of complaints about you from customers. This is your first and final written warning. No you don't get to defend yourself, you're a casual and have no rights."

Every time they play a question time clip where a useless gently caress gives Morrison the sloppiest verbal gobbie so he can then claim the fed gov isn't a poo poo golem that had to be dragged loving screaming to do any part of its job, how they present themselves as taking measured responses to a developing situation and not so far behind the ball hubble can't make them out is so aggravating. Someone just call them out on their bullshit please. Albo gently caress off you're not going to wedge the libs with $300 jab bucks.

But if they do that, they might lose their Canberra press club pass.

Also, can't believe they voted down the $300 vaccination incentive because it was "an insult" to the Australian people - as decided by people making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
