Albo: saying exactly the poo poo people want to hear from an ALP leader, but instead we get to have Shorten grasping at straws. :toot:

If Shorten loses the next election and god help us if he doesn't then Albo will probably step up quite quickly.

So I sent out a TTCC application on the 20th of June and it's now the 5th of August and it still has not arrived. I called up Translink and they gave me a number to the so called "card manufacturer" who can give me the exact status of my card. I call the number and get an answering machine telling me to call Translink.

What the actual gently caress?

Abbott backs down on so many vile things, it's close enough to seem like Rudd never lost the election and haunts the Liberal Party to be Right Wing Labor...FOREVER!

Also are those rumours about Abbott calling a conscience vote on Gay Marriage in order to help with the polls true? Any news on that because Young Labor has been talking about it a lot recently.

Essential Research is 51-49 to ALP. I'm worried that the voting public will eventually even out to a "This Government is average" then proceed to give them 2 more terms while Bill Shorten is replaced by Albo, Bowen or a mystery person who no one can remember the name of.

Warning to those students wanting to go to the Ekka, They will only let you have a Concession ticket if you have a TTCC. However, if you buy an adult ticket and touch off at the exhibition station with a student Go Card, they will try to fine you and confiscate your Go Card. Lucky I talked my way out of it but loving Brisbane is just one giant trap these days in regards to public transport fines.

Also Southbank corp is kicking out a shitload of businesses from Southbank for no apparent reason so yeah, I'd agree that business is rather odd in QLD atm. However, gently caress youth unemployment up the rear end. Since when is being young a toxic addition to the workplace. Shelfpacking jobs should be jumping for joy at all these young back bones yet to be ruined. But nah big biz would rather import labour and turn to channel 10 news and spout bullshit about a "skills shortage"

Let's see, ever since posting here I've ruined Bill Glasson's political career, helped uncover bots liking and commenting on Tony Abbott's facebook page, joined the ALP, joined a union, Taken Umart to town for not paying my Super and have educated myself using this thread to know my rights at work.

No gypsy curse involved, yet.

You dodged a bullet there. Grill'd (or at least the one I worked at) is a terrible place to work.

It was just like being back in high school except with the nauseating smell of atomised burgers and chips permeating my entire life and a casual roster even for part timers. Yay.

I've heard stories of them not paying minimum wage and people hurting themselves and looking for first aid only to open the first aid box to find it empty.

Seriously this poor girl cut herself deep working at a Grilld, asked the manager for First Aid or to go home, first aid box was empty, manager would not let her go home. She had to work her shift with bloody paper towels on one hand all night.
