Disturbed to hear the government has backed down on 18C and will keep offensive speech illegal. Very disturbed.

Gough Suppressant posted:The Abbott Government has given up on reforming 18c. Too many lobby groups hate free speech. And the reforms were badly sold. I suspect the country will be poorer for this. Won't anyone take just a single loving moment to consider the feelings of Andrew Bolt on this?

I'm glad the government are focusing on the most important issue facing Australia today: the hordes of home-grown terrorist cells.

Cassa posted:Why didn't they just take Brisbane's Go Card system? Depends what stream your friend is in, the more barriers to unemployment you have and/or the longer you've been unemployed the more funding you attract and higher the stream you get put in. From memory of a post in last months thread, stream 2 (unemployed 6 months) was a couple of hundred dollars, but that is by no means definitive. But definitely encourage your friend to push their JSA for some kind of subsided training, it's basically all JSAs are good for in my experience.

Cassa, the problem is the Cert 4, if you want a cert at the same level you'll have to pay for it, they can only subsidize the next level up. So unless there's a Diploma, you'd be out of luck.

It was Abbott that convinced Bolt to keep writing after the court case, and now that Abbott has shot down the changes to the laws Bolt will feel betrayedl

Pretty funny Chris Berg piece on the drum, urging Abbott to "reset" the budget because everyone hates it. This despite the fact that the IPA might as well have written the budget.

All sorts of things go through your head.” Ah yes, the old dead koala trick. Gets them every time. And I cant believe it's been 20 years since the Tasty raid.
