1d1b31z | The Conversation: [‘Everybody has not won’: trickle-down economics was an idiotic idea. How do we fix the inequality it causes?
](
> Wealth, Orseme recognised, is not just about economic inequality but also about political inequality.
>
> The threat of extreme wealth to the political promise of democracy runs like a red thread through Alfani’s book. He demonstrates that, despite their power, rich people have been treated historically with suspicion and even disdain: considered dubious for their lack of a valuable social role or political contribution.
>
> The wealthy generally lack understanding or sympathy for the struggles of the less fortunate, choosing instead to moralise their wealth through the pretence to good deeds or merit. As a result, Alfani concludes that wealthy people hold a fragile social position, always running the risk that the majority will turn against them. | 0 |
1cp6js4 | >Hume said the force respected the public interest need for transparency, however
Oh, look, police being bastards. How utterly out of character.
Bullshit. 9/10 times, the cops don't disclose because they know they fucked up. And when they do disclose, it's always swept up as quickly and cleanly as possible. They see us as the enemy. Police culture is infested with this "us vs. them" mentality.
Fun fact -NSWPOL still has senior officers involved in Sydneys gay bashing epidemic on the force.
Fun fact 2 - NSWPOL can't stop itself from abusing its powers to strip search children.
The best thing NSW could do would be to redirect like 40% of the police's budget elsewhere. Fuck em. | 1 |

1d3yxnw | “She’s revealed she’s reached out to the human rights equal opportunity commissioner.
“I have reached out to the minister for women. as well creative industries,” she said.”
This is clearly a media stunt. She rocked up knowing she’d get turned away and to manufacture a news story. I suspect Jasmine is a friend of Jacqui Felgate or is otherwise associated with 3AW/Nine. Especially after the whole Arj Barker thing (that the media cared way more about than the public). This is not a coincidence. | 0 |

1d1m0lw | I guess I'm playing the role of captain hindsight a little here so apologies, but an observation for others and the future. When thinking of moving, knock on a few doors and ask your potential neighbours about the area, the peole, the turnover of residents, the community. Worst case they look at you weird at the door and don't want to talk and best case you have a new friend when you move in. For time like OPs you get a little heads up and can make the decision fully informed. | 0 |

1d0wuye | So you theory is that flooding the market with a specific skill will lead to 'business expansion' resulting in more senior roles being available at a higher pay, which roles can be filled by the native population since they have been in the workforce longer?
I'm very skeptical and this sounds like disinformation. Why do you assume that business will expand when business cannot possibly expand beyond demand for goods or services? Why do you assume that the native population will fill senior roles when there may be experienced migrants available to fill these roles? Like how many senior IT industry roles are taken by migrants? Have these claimed effects of increasing wages been noticed in any industry which has been flooded by migrants? Does the theory of demand and supply not apply to labour? | 0 |
1cz25nx | The best nightlife in Australia would be Melbourne or Brisbane. Melbourne is the city to eat, shop , drink and has a great nightlife but the downside of it is the weather resembles the UK quite a bit and you can get the 4 seasons in 1 day and winter is cold and rainy.
Brisbane is a great city very underrated. It has plenty of parks, walking trails, markets and great bars and brewery's it is only 1 hour drive to Gold coast beaches , nightlife in surfers paradise and theme parks. It is 1 and a half hours to sunshine coast which also has the same minus the nightlife. Compared to Melbourne and Sydney I find Brisbane people to be a lot more friendly and the weather is a lot warmer and sunnier than Melbourne.
Good luck :) | 0 |

1d58r9b | Love how you blame Labor for what the LNP did to it. All the horror stories is due to LNP. NDIS has been managed by LNP for a decade.
Since you are so concerned about money.
You must absolutely hate LNP handling of the economy and our taxes. A decade of debt growth never seen before covid. Year on year deeper into debt. Never once a budget that reduces it. Only grew it. Oh and this is all before covid. So no excuses. Just utter rubbish Financial Managers.

1d31bfw | There’s still lots of money out there being spent and it’s pushing up inflation. I work in sales, we distribute composite decking, cladding and screening through trade hardware stores.
Generally speaking cladding goes on new builds while decking is mostly for the renovations/add on market. Usually the colder months are slow, with cladding holding sales together, while summers the decking really takes off (people are short sighted, they only want to put in decks when it gets warm and realise they don’t have one, or their existing one is falling apart).
We had a bit of a slow start this year, but this month we are getting ‘summer’ level of sales, both in decking and cladding, which is something that none of us really expected. Cladding would make sense because builds happen year round, but people are spending big on renovations as well, which isn’t what you’d expect during a cost of living crisis.
As much as I’d love to say this is because I’m an amazing sales rep, every other state is pushing similar numbers, with sales at 120% of budget coming into the end of financial year. I’ve got friends that work for our competitors and they are also seeing the same results. There may be a cost of living crisis somewhere, but it sure as shit isn’t everywhere, and we expect even more money pumped into the economy come early August as that’s bonus/commission season for anyone in sales and corporate, as well as tax return season. | 0 |

1cxtves | The text of the article:
> 'Cross your legs?': Queensland parliament reacts in disgust to LNP politician's comment – video
Queensland opposition MP Ros Bates caused outrage in parliament after yelling 'cross your legs' in question time. Labor health minister Shannon Fentiman wrongly accused her of yelling 'close your legs', but parliamentary Hansard quotes her as saying 'cross your legs'. Bates's interjection occurred after another MP asked Fentiman about patients in Brisbane being sent to a different hospital because of closures. Bates interjected by asking what the minister tells pregnant women during those periods the hospital was shut. 'Cross your legs?' she asked
While heckling at work would be a little frowned upon (it's not Question Time) it's a fair statement. If my boss told me I needed to keep a pregnant woman waiting even if she was going into labor, I'd say something similar. | 1 |
1d2do69 | Vertical gardens/green walls. That's the only thing I've seen that solves this. For example, the railway bridge pillars at Murrumbeena etc stations now have a wraparound trellis that plants grow up. Vandals can't access the surface below to deface it. | 0 |
1ctv2cf | LNP voters and media moaning about this after over a decade of the most blatant pork barrelling I've ever seen in my lifetime (nearly 50 years) really are quite impressive in their hypocrisy. Morrison in particular would have to be unbeatable in this regard. Not to mention they were pouring money into some of the already wealthiest places in the country. | 1 |
1d4lcsf | I'm sure Ananda-Rajah has enough Investment Properties to pull herself up by the bootstraps in case she decides not to contest, or goes for Melbourne or Kooyong and loses.
I have a feeling that she might have a crack at Kooyong though to try turning Teal to Red - I think that she would be quite palatable to the demographics of Kooyong + the 1/5 of Higgins which becomes Kooyong despite the Labor brand. However Monique Ryan has proven to be an effective MP who is a tier above what she can offer, so I don't like her chances. | 1 |

1d5f2t8 | I’m blown away that you don’t have more selective schools in Melbourne. They’re so common in Sydney, and while they don’t solve everything, they ensure that no matter where a kid lives if they’re bright and academically driven then they’ll get a spot in a good school. I was shocked to find out that they’re pretty much not a thing down here. | 0 |
1cyhh7e | You can believe the Netanyahu is a criminal and still support Israel right to exist. Like wise you can believe the Palestine's have the right to exist and still believe HAMAS is a terrorist organization. The only person here I see abandoning principles is a journalist who would prefer to try and score political points instead of reporting news. | 1 |
1cw9vcr | Well I'm not really confident that we'll see mismanagement on the scale of Turnbull's Hydro 2.0... especially given several of the issues with building Hydro 2.0 came from stuff they couldn't reasonably have predicted in the first place.
This the real reason why we have an energy crisis and why nuclear won't be built here anytime soon. The media actively criticises any investment in building assets or infrastructure and if there are any snags in the project, the criticism flows even harder. No consideration for any aspect of the project beyond the price tag. And the writer of this article thinks they're being clever by drawing a spurious inference between Snowy 2.0 and the FMIA program, which ultimately amounts to "uhhh watch out for unforeseen liabilities!" That's the state of political journalism in this country; business economics 101 presented as cogent criticism of government ministers. | 0 |

1d3zbot | They can withhold the value of whatever is specified in your contract/the relevant award. However, they can't withhold more.
For example: if you have three weeks accrued annual and personal leave and they are allowed to claim two weeks in lieu of the two weeks you didn't give them, they have to pay you out the third week's value. | 0 |

1d3own2 | I can’t remember, I think it was about $5000. There was some significant discount (10%?) if I had Medibank Private insurance (but you could sign up and immediately be able to claim the discount, and cancel shortly after - something like that). Sorry I’m not more help. | 0 |
1d44ezg | You fucked up by going direct to F&P.

I remember when I returned from my first trip overseas in 1992, I could smell the eucalyptus in the air as soon as I got out of the airport. Smelled like home. Unfortunately that’s not the case anymore, but is there something that would work for her? The smell of Nag Champa incense reminds me of a certain time in my life when I was younger.

electricity isn’t real. It can’t work like how the scientists say it does in real life, it needs extra intervention and direction from “someone or something”. Otherwise the electricity wouldn’t flow in the neat circuits it does and would get lost. There’s “elec-trickery” afoot.
Maybe there’s actually a shady world government spy agency who’s in charge of all electricity flows. Maybe it has a will of its own. Maybe there’s some omnipotent figure guiding all electricity. Either way, there’s something “they” aren’t telling us and all is not what it seems.
It’s not a real conspiracy but it’s stuck with me and makes me laugh every time I think about it. | 1 |
