1cp0296 | Read your own first article. This data is how much GSP has grown expressed in percentages. And the article very early on says Victoria leading the charge is not impressive as it looks because it had the worst COVID lockdowns and therefore the greatest ability to bounce back. So in 2022, Victoria’s GSP growing by 5.6%? stiff shit, we were closed for the previous 18 months. | 0 |

The NSW Coalition’s most senior law officer, Alister Henskens, has been accused of displaying a “dereliction of duty” after he tried to rush new domestic violence bail laws through the state parliament before even reading the bill.
In an extraordinary move, Henskens wanted to suspend standing orders so the Minns government’s new laws, which include the removal of the presumption of bail for serious domestic violence offenders, would pass without consultation.
The changes follow a string of high-profile alleged domestic violence offences, including the death of Forbes woman Molly Ticehurst last month.

The bill had not yet been tabled to parliament when Henskens, the shadow attorney-general, argued that there was no time to waste in toughening bail laws. He later said he had seen the government’s press release outlining the changes and knew the bill would not be controversial or lengthy.
Henskens said the laws had been modelled on a bill proposed by the Coalition, and the shadow cabinet had agreed to support Labor’s laws.
However, Henskens’ push failed when Sydney MP Alex Greenwich and Greens MP for Newtown Jenny Leong delivered a blistering attack.
Greenwich said he had been in parliament for “five premiers, five leaders of the opposition and four different parliaments”, and he had never seen a proposal with “such disrespect to stakeholders in this space”.
“I’ve never seen a greater dereliction of duty of an opposition to not even look at a bill, or greater disrespect for stakeholders to say you don’t want to consult with them,” Greenwich said.
“They want to rubber stamp something they haven’t ever seen. But let me say this to the stakeholders and those concerned: if the opposition are going to abrogate their responsibility in this space, the crossbench will pick it up.”
Leong said the former Coalition government had 12 years to improve domestic violence rates but did little to increase vital funding for emergency measures, such as shelters for women fleeing partners.
She said Henskens’ attempts to ram through the bill smacked of “relevance deprivation”.
Leader of the House Ron Hoenig said it was completely reckless of the Coalition to push through the laws without having any idea of what they said.
“The bill could be to abolish the Liberal Party,” Hoenig said.
Attorney-General Michael Daley told parliament that the NSW Police Force had requested time to ensure that “all their systems and officers are ready to implement these changes across the state”.
Domestic violence support groups, including Say No to Violence, had also asked that the new laws be “considered properly” before being passed.
On Tuesday, the Minns government announced a series of sweeping changes designed to make it harder for men accused of serious domestic violence offences to be released back into the community.
At the centre of the package is a reversal of the presumption of bail against men accused of serious domestic violence offences, which includes intimate partner violence involving elements such as sexual assault, strangulation, kidnapping or coercive control.
There will also be changes that will allow bail decisions on serious domestic violence offences to be delayed while prosecutors appeal an offender’s release in the Supreme Court.
A requirement for magistrates and judges to consider “red flag” behaviour such as animal cruelty, stalking and verbal or physical abuse when considering bail will be introduced, while courts will need to consider the views of victims and their families. | 0 |

1cszxwq | It is easier, yes. But ultimately sees a major party decline in vote. The preferential system's keeping them in for now. But it's becoming more and more likely we'll see more and more hung parliaments, and eventually someone will have the intelligence and leadership ability to create a serious third party catering to the middle, rather than the extremes.
As time goes on, expect to see more "electoral reform" on donations and spending so they can prevent that third party from gaining ground. | 0 |

The Liberals have lost their voter base to the Teals and instead of winning them back have decided to take a UAP idea that was stupid to begin with in an attempt to gather the UAP and One nation voters over to the Libs. Its not about policy its about building a voter base back chasing the loonies. | 0 |

1d3adea | As others have suggested I would schedule a meeting on a day I was already working and potentially do it during work hours or before/after the shift if required. By all means have a support person there too.
I personally would not expect to be paid extra for this sort of meeting especially after not notifying Woolies at an appropriate time about being sick due to sleeping in...and I certainly wouldn't be looking for clauses in an EBA to justify a 10 minute meeting and looking to be paid 3 hours minimum for it! Contacting fair work too? If you spent this time being productive who knows what you could achieve. Unbelievable
Sounds very entitled and painful to be honest. If I were the manager and faced with these expectations I'd probably give shifts to the more organised and less demanding staff. The last thing I would do in your position is rock the boat if I wanted to keep my job.
If I were your colleague I would be furious that you want to get paid 3 hours extra for a meeting that would never had occurred in the first place had you done the right thing and that I have to pick up the slack too... I'm sure in the EBA it is a requirement to call in sick at a certain time. You can't pick and choose which parts you agree with grow up! | 0 |
1czmt8g | Social media and it's affects on children are part of the evidence base now. It's clear they're incredibly bad.
It can't be down to parents because without unified approaches you just have one kid being left out compared to their peers and social pariahs.

1d0p5nx | But if we slash student visa immigration to the fly by night providers that cater primarily to foreign students, why should the government cover the 'additional billions of dollars' the providers will lose? We don't need that money.

1cur4sx | Except I genuinely doubt the majority of Australians share the Greens/Redditor desire for a future of Kruschevkas for one. And beyond that, like most Greens policies, the "how" is never meant to be meaningfully answered. We already have a labour shortage, so how would they build those houses if we're struggling on more modest targets under Labor's plan?
To answer this, you have to concede they can't. Unless, however, you're a Greens supporter in which case you'll reach into a bag of populist platitudes and offer up some meaningless sentence as a solution.
"To fill the labour shortage necessary to build houses, The Greens will \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_"
- Introduce rent control!
- Abolish negative gearing!
- Increase company tax!
- Tax billionaires!
- Raise income tax rates on the highest brackets!
- Prevent any new coal or gas projects!
If one is to persist in asking how this will create labour supply out of thin air, then the tried and true retreat tactics here are to call them a Liberal or a Fascist, and block them. | 0 |

1czdql8 | A couple friends work in hospitality and I have to agree with the sentiment that casual workers seem easily exploited.
But when did you get here? It wasn't always an employer's market. Pre-covid, at least in hospitality, casual workers could leave bad work environments because they had a lot more options. Post-covid there are fewer customers, rosters are thin, and venues closing down means workers are competing for fewer jobs, and they stick around even when mistreated.
A lot of casual work is taken up by visa holders like yourself, who don't have a safety net and tend to be even more exploitable, so I'm not sure it's Australian workers who are tolerant.
I think the real question is why are exploitative employers hard to hold accountable? There's Fair Work but they seem to only go after big corporations. In Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland, there's JobWatch, but they've had funding massively cut last year.
Maybe you're asking why Australians don't care enough to fund organizations that support casual workers' rights. That's fair to call out. | 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 :) | 1 |

1cw99d1 | >Yet even in light of this, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton complained last week that the number of public servants has swelled under the Albanese government, declaring the Coalition sees defence spending as “much more of a priority than office staff in Canberra”.
Gonna skip the usual Morrison circlejerk (oh Scott Morrison exercised political savvy to do no actual work? Shocker /s) and just highlight this point - the LNP will whinge Labor does nothing, but when Labor actually hires real staff to do work (more on "real" in a sec) now it is "hiring for the wrong sectors/wasting money on 'too good' public servants" and other bullshit.
I say "real", because the alternative is pure contractors, which often cost more than regular staff (since the worker and the company has to make a profit or else cut corners to make money) and yet are seen as "good" because hey you create private sector jobs (which are magically worth more than public sector jobs because ???).
Anyway, nice to see Dutton falling back to classics /s. | 0 |
1d4kn6k | I'm not sure where in NSW you are, but most areas have a Facebook page for people looking for work and business looking for staff. For example, I live in Port Stephens, mine is "Port Stephens Positions Vacant and Wanted."
Lots of jobs are advertised here in areas like domestic cleaning, hotel cleaning, hospitality, retail, etc.
Others put up a little post about themselves, saying that they're looking for work, and often, people comment on places that are hiring. It's important to sell yourself well. Put thought into what you write.
I know my son got a job doing night fill at Coles and then at Woolworths easily. He went and registered online and completed the application, then went to the stores and gave his resume with his applicant number on it.
Traffic control is a great option. You'll need to do the training, but once you do, you'll earn double doing that than in most other entry-level positions.
Make sure you have a good, well written resume and cover letter. When a business is getting 50 for one position, they read the ones that are well formatted and straight to the point. | 1 |
