Why not just outsource it to some Africans for 1/100th of the costs and no pesky labour regulations?

I've only been here a month". Cue him telling me that coz I'm white it's all good. Had a meeting a little earlier, was told I was picking up the job and fitting in nicely. I feel kinda weird about it. On the bright side, my boss is getting promoted and they're now in the process of finding her replacement. Maybe the next one will be less terribly racist?

Lets buy some Japaneese subs! http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-15/japanese-concerns-over-submarine-deal/5743022 Is there anything these muppets can't gently caress up? This makes the Gillard governments Timor and Malaysia deals (sans consult) seem mild. quote:Former senior Japanese military personnel have spoken out for the first time against the submarine deal the Abbott Government hopes to conclude with Japan. Australia is considering buying 10 state-of-the-art Soryu class submarines from Japan, at a reported price of more than $20 billion. But Japanese military insiders have warned that it will cost much more. They told the ABC there was great reluctance within the Japanese military to share their expertise, and said it would take Australia decades to perfect the submarines' top secret technology. The Federal Government wants to replace its Collins class submarines with Soryus by 2030.

Gold farmers, and yeah, but it's not really safe since you have to give them login details and most MMO's strictly forbid account sharing, which is problemating if your IP is Australian and a Chinese IP is logging in to your account regularly.

Mills is right, I do need a job, I handed out 40 resumes in person and 63 seek/gumtree applications last week with the only reply being that shady coffee shop. A friend told me he hired a graphics designer for 300 dollars to make a crazy artistic resume and he got a casual job that gives him less than 10 hours a week.

RSA, RSG, 2 years waiting experience, can drive a forklift (but don't actually hold a license), Coffee making and I'm tall as gently caress and well mannered. I can forward you my resume if you like, maybe there's some critical mistake I'm making that no one has told me about.

Get a forklift driver's licence and get the hell out of hospitality. I'm pretty sure there's always work for forklift drivers, but nobody wants them unless they're qualified. Obviously if you can't set aside a huge chunk of your life to get your licence this is poo poo advice. You may as well pm me your resume. maybe you've done something terrible?

They are expensive as gently caress though, If I had a job, I would get one because I would be able to recoup the cost but I'm on lovely centrelink and a forklift licence is $550 in Brisbane. Yeah sure, I will do it through PMs

In fact, for every dollar Mills donates, I'll match it (up to $275, obviously). Let's give Anidav a break.

I'll tell you what. I won $50 in the Rugby League thread and the guy doesn't want to pay out (I was thinking about making him eat a bug instead) but I'll cut it to $20 so he's happy and send that to Anidav so you're happy, assuming we can find some way to guarantee it's actually going to a forklift licence.

Collins was a modification to an existing design, it's not like it was a from scratch project. Part of the fuckup was trusting a US MIC company to deliver a working combat system on time and budget. If we have to have these sorts of toys, why not build on the skilled workforce the Collins project created?
