I'm a big fan of the data showing patients significantly find relief and success after the full 20 sessions. So now we can have more patients, half-arsed, rather than people actually leaving and not having to go back (or go back as often). I think I had 10 sessions under the old system and was actually pretty good by the end of them, but I wouldn't have wanted to just have to wait around for several months for another 10 sessions at the time.

shalcar posted:You know the reserve bank has basically nothing to do with wages, right? The reserve bank has exactly one economic lever and that is the interest rate. I'm not suggesting that the reserve bank has done an amazing job or anything, but the people actually responsible for this, politicians from both sides of the fence are really, really happy that the reserve bank is taking the heat for their policy choices. If you read the article, it's largely about the RBA governor's bashing on about how inflation has been driven by wage growth and people spending. When in reality wages have slipped backwards and it is profiteering companies spending up big. It is not at all about the RBA keeping wages low, it is entirely about the governor being a disengious dickhead.

PalaNIN posted:Presumably indexing the cap with inflation. Chalmers said the $3m limit won't be indexed Yeah this. 3 million is a lot these days, but when I was a kid 1 million was insane. When my old boss first started working he made $1000 a year. When my Nan left school she worked for half a pound a day. The current medicare rebate is poo poo, but when it was introduced it was a reasonable amount. Now many GP's can't afford to bulk bill unless they ran factory style practices. It's lazy government to set a monetary cap on anything, all costs or limits should be indexed to something.

Fundamentally we probably have more in common with the poor people of other nations then we do with the ruling billionaire class. We should really stop speaking about war with China or licking American boots, and start discussing how we are best to throw off the chains comrades and enact a new revolution for the proletariat. Alternatively, just stop licking American boots because that place is getting as bad as China on the human rights abused right about now, unlike us... who also abuse human rights. You know what, I'm going to go hug my children and watch cartoons.

Pleasant Friend posted:Anyone who seriously suggests America is anywhere as bad as China in regards to human rights abuses is off the deep end. America has legalised slavery. America consistently shoots it's own citizens. America has the death penalty. America has child marriage (some states with no lower age limit). I'm not sure how you compare human rights abuses, which is objectively worse. But considering American's steady slide towards full blown fascism in the past few years, it's a thing to consider that America might not be 'as bad' as China now, but soon will be possibly shovelling LGBTQI people into concentration camps under some Christofascist statehood.

I'm not in favour of the death penalty, but I'd definately be behind China's general stance on that issue. Anyway, my initial point was not so much China is better than the US. But that the US loving sucks and we shouldn't be buddying up to them on these sorts of issues, especially since they keep trying to import their insane crap onto us.

Why should it be the purview of a local council to deal with homeless? They're hardly going to have the resources to deal with such an issue. Homelessness should be a state government issue. And those fucks should build more social housing.

Ranter posted:gently caress social housing. Public housing only. Start building high quality modern housing now while also capping how many homes 1 person can own (2 for now), extra homes are acquired by the state, homeless people and people working too far from their job get put in these homes if they want while we keep building. I'm unsure of the difference. Just give people homes.

I think one of the reasons they were pursuing 'green hydrogen' was the ability to generate massive quantities of it in Australia and then export it to neighbouring countries. I've seen more movements on Sodium Flow batteries as energy storage than hydrogen tech though.

hooman posted:No they can't, they can levy fines, or force the union to disband, but then lol, lmao every nurse individually wildcat strikes and what are you going to do? Fire them all? I've been having arguments with many a people this week about the Nurse Union strikes and the idiocy of the IRC. As a teacher in WA I would fully strike in solidarity with the nursing union if that were to happen and I'd be encouraging other teachers to do so too. We've got a public sector alliance in the state right now to help each other raise the pay and conditions of the entire public sector. If the nurses get 5%, then teachers get 5% as well. So I'm fully rooting for them. Especially since we've already begun letters of exchange for this year I believe.

Would have been nice to learn a bit about it though, it's very different to the modern Catholic church, probably more like it was pre Vatican II Not quite, they split about 900 years before Vatican II. Something about the bread, probably more about political power struggles, but I like to imagine it was mostly a fight about the bread.

freebooter posted:What's the justification for it? I know what the actual justification is (only old people matter as a voting bloc) but what are they saying the justification is? Other 55s are discriminated against and therefore sit on jobseeker for long, especially women. Which sounds nice in theory until you realise that the system demands we have unemployed and jobseeker is below the poverty line, an ethical nightmare. And that 'younger' people find it harder to get promoted because of a bunch of boomers refusing to retire and just clogging up the high level jobs. I'm not happy about it, but let's not kid ourselves here. Liberals never would have given a partial rise to jobseeker, their plan was to refuse to give jobseeker to people under 26(?) until they'd been unemployed for 6 months.

And suddenly the shops can't get anything because all the supermarket packaging hubs are over east. Picked in WA, sent to NSW, sent back to WA. Take all those trucks off the road and you won't have viable alternatives when your rail line inevitably meets a gently caress up. Multiple redundancies are a good thing in a logistics chain.
