CHINAH HACKS AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT!

Oh, this is unbearable, WHAT are they attempting to divert us from?

Sophisticated?

Engadine Maccas might disagree

“India/Modi”

Where did this word salad cum from?

Isn’t it about time you were checking under yer bed yomm?

“Been funny/sad watching twitter wring their hands crying “we want Shorten”….”

Oh YES PLEASE…………………PLEASE DO IT.

But alas they cant turf anyone because their membership rolls are corrupted…..LOL

Just for a little context, the average underpayment was $400, Which isn’t insignificant, but it also isn’t such a massive amount that it is likely to be anything other than a misapplication of the complicated system of allowances.

Hardly “wage theft”

“So we’re in for some new restrictions because some people socialised while knowing they’re infected”

Yes but Captain Cook was far worse when he “invaded” according to Victorian Health

Not sure what he invaded but he was worse

George Calombaris admits to underpaying 500 staff $7.8 million and is vilified as a wage thief. The ABC admits to underpaying 1900 staff $12 million and it barely rates a mention

The replies to that tweet are hilarious.

Hardly “wage theft”

To begin, this was the amount ‘recovered’, not the amount STOLEN

And, theft is … well …. theft

They pay professionals to work out
a) how to minimise taxes
b) how to minimise wages

In both cases, when you skate too close to the line, you pay the penalty. And, there have been enough cases of deliberate underpayments, AFTER they have been warned about them, to know that it’s a business plan, not an ‘oopsie’

See the the above case 😉

But Tom R you were happy to call underpayment in the construction industry “wage theft”

You might explain the difference between the systematic underpayment by the ABC (with the multitude of HR staff and systems they have) with the “wage theft” by small labour hire companies that are trying to administer several complicated awards and various industrial agreements

Of course! You post a tweet from Dave Noonan that says it’s wage theft, but you don’t agree!!

Hilarious!!

Surprisingly (to me) nobody has yet mentioned the colder winter weather as a possible cause.

Well, if you listen to the murdoch/nine rags, it’s all the fault of the BLM protests (even though there is no evidence at all ofany infections being spread from that)

And yes, cold weather would play a part, but, if those ‘families’ (ie, people) hadn’t broken the rules, then the cold weather couldn’t have played its part.

Mr Andrews blamed the concerning surge in cases on families deliberately flouting the rules, including some Victorians who were visiting family members or going to work even after testing positive to the deadly virus.

https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/five-guests-in-your-home-victorian-restrictions-tightened-20200620-p554j5.html

So, he didn’t blame ‘families’ at all, did he.

As I said, Andrews has to provide more details. I’d people deliberately flouted the restrictions, the should be charged, with things like endangering public safety.

* Did they actually test positive, and go to work?
* Where did they contract it?
* How many were at these family gatherings?

The police were absolute zealots in persuing kids having a picnic or visiting friends a few weeks . Here’s a real reason to rigorously enforce the law.

This should be as near as we get to a public flogging. ***

***Although Andrews hasn’t quite said they flouted the rules knowing they had tested positive.

* Did they actually test positive, and go to work?
* Where did they contract it?
* How many were at these family gatherings?

JUST GIVE ME TEN EXAMPLES! 😦

I didn’t hear any other groups mentioned

I think you mean “sub” group 😉

It’s ok reb, he found himself innocent, cos he’s like, respectable, in the same way the clergy are 😉

Meanwhile, tosy continues to paraphrase like the Criminal he has proven to be. 😉

Here we go with pedophile defenders now defending another sexual predator. The rwdb’s of this cuntry are something to behold aren’t they?

“The rwdb’s of this cuntry are something to behold aren’t they?”

Says a supporter of a party that was against the LNP mandatory sentencing legislation last week . And a supporter of a party that gave rise to kiddie fiddler Milton Orkopolous

Hypocrites !

Not to mention Bill D’Arcy and Bob Collins.

Quick

LOOK OVER THERE!

I assume these people are ones personally chosen and paid to run a multi million campaign to TRY and prove someone from the other side is of low moral character?

How’d that go again?

So Annastacia and Schwarten were saddened by his death

I think you will find the condolences went to the family (non criminal perhaps?)

A pedophile described as just “flawed”

Well, from the one snippet they printed anyway.

Still a long way away from writing a letter of commendation 😉

The right-wing nutjobs are really struggling with the fact the BLM protests haven’t been a source of outbreaks, eh?

If you mean every media outlet trying their hardest to lay the blame there, yea, it’s been entertaining.

Watching hunt get told that Brisbane had four times the number of protesters, and none of the cases ……

Priceless 🙂

By the way, Bernie Finnigan too!

But I suppose it is far more serious for someone to write a reference for a person who hasn’t been convicted of any crime

I see the big non announcement about spies hacking nothing in particular did its job and caused our media to miss the big story of last week. Not that they really need Sauron to divert them away, they are perfectly able to that themselves.

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1274873428747509760.html

Well, this explains why it is so shit

While Josh Frydenberg personally consulted the Merivale CEO about JobKeeper’s design, court documents detail the huge underpayment suit his pub empire is facing.

https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/economy/2020/06/20/inside-hemmes-100m-wage-case/15925752009994

Also, this bit doesn’t surprise

Justin Hemmes concedes his billion-dollar Merivale pub empire could never have expanded so aggressively were it not for a Howard-era workplace agreement that paid some staff substantially below the modern award for a decade.

Victoria: Pretty much anytime

1. Mixed messages, such as the government allowing 10,000 to congregate, but fining people for using a picnic table.

2. If the government imposes a lockdown every time we get over a dozen cases, we’ll be in lockdown every second week. So goodbye to easing restrictions.

If the government chooses not to enforce the law, it’s allowing the congregation of 10,000. Andrews was expressing only an opinion in that article, he wasn’t using the authority of government.

Mixed messages- allow 10,000 to congregate but fine picnickers

And we’re in for endless lockdown if we go into a flap everytime we have over a dozen cases.

If you only selectively apply the law , it’s mixed messages. What else could it be?

Abusing children appears to be more prevalent in the ALP. They locked up 8,469 from 2008-2013 and did not even provide schooling for the kids they locked up. Morrison had to do that when Abbott won govt. And there was this also

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/young-looking-refugees-sent-offshore

Young-looking children were chosen to be transferred to the harsh Manus Island refugee detention centre to discourage other refugees from coming to Australia, an inquiry has heard…..Gregory Lake, the former director of offshore processing and transfers at the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, told the inquiry he was directed by a ministerial staff member to choose the youngest-looking children from among those eligible for the first transfer of detained people from Australia to Manus Island in 2012, when Labor was in government

So why not join me in calling for it to be defunded.

Because it needs to be fixed, not killed. Political parties (well, the one who does) need to keep their ideologies out of it

Every media organisation in the country will have a revenue reduction far greater than the ABC, there is no reason to protect it from the reality that the rest of the country has to face.

TB

There were no ABC cuts. Just no spending increases for the ABC. Have you read lots of newspapers are shutting down. How come job loses only happen in the private sector and govt workers are unaffected?

There was a time that public sector employees were paid less than similar work in the private sector, that was the trade off for the additional job security.

These days public sector employees are paid more than the private sector, so it’s reasonable that they experience the same level of employment security.

The ABC should not be protected from the economic downturn.

These days only private sector workers become unemployed. Govt workers are unaffected. If unemployment hits 10% it means unemployment is most probably 20% in the private sector and ZERO in govt. Govt workers don’t lose their jobs during recessions.

The ABC is an abomination just like TomR. TB and anybody who votes for the ALP

PM has cut nothing. He has just stopped funding increases. And a $84M cut to increased spending could easily be covered by salary cuts.

80% of the ABC budget is wages. These guys are on megabucks and do not care about the private sector unemployed.

A 10% salary cut to the ABC so-called workers on megabucks would easily cover the so-called cuts.

The ABC is an ABOMINATION.

GO AWAY and try and deceive somebody else more easily deceived by you evil comments

Yes, isn’t joyce earning his millions well.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) is investigating a “disinformation” campaign about the Labor candidate for Eden Monaro, which falsely claimed she had quit the by-election race.

“NSW Labor Leader McKay confirmed the Labor Party had suspended the membership of Mr Moselmane and he would no longer sit in the caucus.

She said she had “no idea of the scope of this investigation”.

“I can’t make any further comment on the scope of this I just don’t know,” she said.”

-Daily Telegragh

So if nothing to see why was he suspended from the ALP ?

Moselmane is a particular nasty and disgusting character who I have had the gross misfortune of meeting.

A particularly disgusting example of totally abhorent DNA

Déjà vu

Hilarious Walrus! Here’s what we won’t hear from Tom R-
* I was wrong

No mandatory testing for Victoria! We have it under control, we’re leading the way! Other states might have mandatory testing, and about zero cases, but our government knows best!

https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-27/mandatory-hotel-quarantine-testing-in-australia-coronavirus/12400092

1. The hospitality industry geared up for seatings of 50, but Andrews cancelled this, leaving them wth food to go off and staff rostered but not needed.
2. If a third of people in hotel isolation decide to do the wrong thing, making it mandatory is hardly unreasonable
3. The government (via the police) were entirely comfortable about fining people having for a picnic, friends visiting each other and people from visiting elderly parents, but they allow the most likely carriers to wander off without testing.
4. A crowd of 10,000 is fine, but don’t visit your mum

So yes, I agree, Daniel Andrews is an ineffective, incosistnent f**kwit

I see another group of white supremacists have been caught out trying to blame the recent spike in cases on the South Sudanese population.

It’s all good, they said sorry when it turned out they made it all up.

I wonder if these same rednecks who have been supportive of anti lockdown protesters, and crying in their spilled milk about not being able to golf wonder at all while they blame the BLM proesters who protected both themselves and others if their words and actions had any effect on angry white dudes wishing to watch the footy?

What is Tom R talking about? Is that in Melbourne? Australia? Did it reach any news broadcasts?

Remember how Daniel Andrews blamed this new outbreak on people deliberately breaking the law?

Has anyone been charged?

The government finds it easier to choose the soft targets like people having a picnic, or fishing from a pier, or sitting on a beach, or visiting a friend. Activities that had about zero chance of spreading covid 19

Soft targets and symbolism are the characteristics of the government response. They’re laggards on the hard work –
* charging the group that deliberately held the function that caused this outbreak, which included a medical doctor
* lockdown of the suburbs that are the centres of the outbreak
* compulsory testing in those suburbs and of people leaving the hotel isolation

Fining people having a picnic in the open air hundreds of feet away from anyone else is rather a different proposition to a doctor deliberately flouting the rules and spreading the virus.

The government always prefers symbolism to practical measures.

murdoch is a stain that needs to be stamped out

The title of this thread matches in nicely with the big leaked raid, doesn’t it?

Weird that.

Yes that could be one reason the virus has not spread much in Australia. Viruses tend to spread in colder months than in summer. Could be just lucky for us the virus started in our summer months and in winter months in the Northern Hemisphere

What about Tasmania ?

Ah, the good old days, when our pm was accusing people who came forward of lying

He really is a dick

Andrews was so preoccupied getting picnickers etc fined that he forgot that the virus is more likely to spread via the poorly trained security people the government employs to guard the isolation hotels, who then spread it to their families.

There has been any transmission via games if golf or people fishing?

Daniel Andrews did exactly what he wanted when he wanted.

Ah, I see, so he actually wanted cranky old farts to try and undermine the message of “stay at home” the entire time it was in place?

Gotcha 😉

Not one of your better comebacks.

“Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” 😉

Meanwhile, in a not corrupt at all by-election

Would you care to explain why every other state has it’s shit together except for Dictator Dan and his fucked up Health Department heads.

Where’s sam newman from again?

I don’t see too many oppositions being anything like vics

Except maybe Queensland 😉

Is racism at Sky a mistake or a business model? Here’s the evidence, you decide

I can’t click through, I don’t pay, but, I have seen enough from their past to know the answer 😉

Andrews wanted the toughest restrictions, but he didn’t get the basics right.

* Several other states used the army as security for iso hotels, Andrews used poorly trained contractors, who then became infected and spread it.
* Targeting of soft targets (drivers, golfers, picnickers etc), therefore wasting resources
* Inadequate education/information.restrictions about the actual risks (security guards, non English speakers)

The ALP barrackers now want to portray this serious government failure as a problem for non ALP barrackers!!

Typical. People in private industry have lost their jobs an an organisation that gets $1B/year of taxpayers money is moaning about cuts which never happened. Just no spending increases. Meanwhile in private enterprise land lots of newspapers are shutting down

Another state with it’s ‘shit’ together

Government induced lockdown fatigue

HAHAHAHAAHHA

From YOUR Guardian –

and may feel less incentive to follow them now

From yor mates whinging about golf for the past three months?

hmm, isn’t this all overseen by duttons mob?

Do you ever want to mention about yor mates spending three months undermining the lock down, or just try and continue to undermine?

“hmm, isn’t this all overseen by duttons mob?”

I see more utter bullshit from TomR

Do you ever check your facts ?

“Federal health authorities have questioned Victoria’s management of the mandatory hotel quarantine arrangements, which have been key to Australia’s success to date in suppressing the coronavirus.

Multiple federal government sources have confirmed concerns about the lack of expert medical personnel advising hotel workers, who have the task of delivering food and escorting guests without appropriate personal protective equipment.

Victorian health authorities are now reviewing the staffing and management of hotels used to detain and isolate returned travellers for 14 days.

The same private security firm oversees quarantine arrangements at both the Stamford Plaza and Rydges hotels where infected staff members have spread the virus to close contacts and contributed to family outbreaks that forced the Victorian government to reintroduce restrictions”

https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/overseas-returns-diverted-from-melbourne-over-covid-19-hotel-quarantine-concerns-20200623-p555f6.html

“Okay, so roadblocks where you’ll have to show your papers.”

So effectively Andrews is creating his own version of CHOP like in Seattle. Maybe he could round up a few BLM protesters and throw them into that area as well. They could just go hammer and tongs at well………..protesting

Victoria is stuffed (according to Tom R) because-
* Daniel Andrews listened to Sam Newman and allowed people to play golf
* Dutton selected the people to work in the isolation hotels (really?)

I’ll need a link to your first bullshit claim, or shall I just put it down to you not being able to read simple Eenglish?

As to the other, I had assumed Border Force were responsible, but seems I’ve been misinformed, I can cop that one.

It’s all going so well for the ALP

If it’s not accompanied by a televised raid, it didn’t happen

Data from the National Skills Commission released on Tuesday indicated that of the 2324 employers surveyed, only 22 per cent were recruiting.

It is unknown where the Prime Minister got the anecdotal evidence.

Yay………………………Another 73 cases in Victoria.

Well done Daniel Andrews and your fellow Cook obsessed dickheads

Must have something to do with all those statues in Canberra

I’ve gone google looking, but can’t find a statue of the person implied in Canberra

😯

ROFLMAO……………….

hat’s right the LNP Federal Government! What was Sooty’s background again? Mmmm … still shit!

Comments like that are so stupid because even if true you can find wasteful spending under any govt.

A candidate for the most wasteful spending EVER happened in 2008 when Rudd dropped our borders and let in 50,000 boat people costing us $15B and counting.

BTW Labor dropped our borders because Labor does not believe in borders. People like TB of Queensland want a borderless world ruled by his lord and masters at the UN

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eb4E-yNUcAAt2yt?format=jpg&name=small

Now reports are saying iso guards “slept” with people infected with covid 19, and they had about 5 minutes training.

Now we have 30+ suburbs in lockdown, and possibly more to come.

Yes, the tough restrictions by Andrews really worked, we should have issued more fines to people having a picnic, youngsters visiting friends and people driving alone in their cars!

Really, this is just complete incompetence by the government. They couldn’t even get the basics right.

The government was offered the army, but they chose 5 minute trained contractors. Who then spread the virus across 30+ suburbs.

We now face further lockdowns and it is entirely due to the decisions of the state ALP government.

This has nothing to do with the early lifting of the restrictions, it has everything to do with the decisions of Andrews.

Hopeless and why did he decline using the army? It’s because he’s more interested in “the optics” than in effective policy.

Yes, if only Daniel Andrews didn’t listen to Sam Newman! Golfing would still be banned and all these infections wouldn’t have occurred!

So that’s hardly a problem!

I think the biggest problem is you talking like nil

So these suburbs tend to have an above average number Centrelink offices, a huge number of abandoned shopping trolleys, a large number of spice shops, a huge number of immigration lawyers and a severe lack of BMW, Audi, and Bentley new car dealerships ………..would that be correct ?
