The public service can find money on all sorts of BS, I was consulting to a major Qld department when the gay marriage vote was being decided. First we got issued with rainbow lanyards and then the Qld government hired emotional crisis managers available to staff if the gay vote didn’t go as planned. |

How many public sector workers have lost their 'jobs'? The government needs to tackle this elephant in the room. We haven't heard a peep from the PSU about this pandemic, hoping no-one will notice perhaps.
The new $750 per week initiative should be mandated on all PSU's for 6 months.

Rumblings (opinion shopping?) about closing places like Bunnies and Kmart.
That could have interesting ramifications. |

It was the completely offensive and unnecessarily nasty comment about PS workers and their output that I was referring to. |

Oh.....ok. Apologies, I should have clarified. With the exception of Police, Military, Teachers and Nurses, there's nothing that couldn't be done in the private sector more efficiently and at a cheaper cost than what's done in the public sector. As Nigel Farage said of unelected government bureaucrats "I know that virtually none of you have done a proper job in your lives" echos the competency and vacuum of accountability in the PS. My opinion.

The cafe across the road from work has shut as of last Friday, it's going to be interesting to watch how caffeine withdrawals effect people at work this week

That's because there's no accountability for management with budgets and the KPI's aren't thought through and they're vague, an example may be processing claims within X time period but it doesn't matter if you do it wrong 15x just as long as it's 'processed' within the timeframe.
It's the oldest trick in the book and human nature to exploit it. It's like fixing lost time injuries in a workplace - stop recording them. How many LTI's did we have this quarter? None! That's the difference between having data and using data analytics to read into it, very rarely does someone do the latter properly. Ask accountants about exchange rate changes, price increases and inventory levels and watch the one sided argument that will occur. It's not just government, this same blindness occurs in corporate groups too. Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 30-03-2020 at 10:32 AM. |

The economic tsunami is building up. We've been told that our company will be working three day weeks from next month. And the dominoes continue to fall.

how can anyone have every dot dotted and every t crossed......
Tell me cheap ? As for pink bats on steriods, stupid comparo its bloody nothing like it one bit ! Its millions of times worse what the problem is they are dealing with, a moving target as you well know and decisions made hourly somehow right or wrongly. Pink bats wasn't a moving target but sheer utter gov incompetence of the highest order but thats not worth even bringing up FFS under the circumstances.

One possible good thing to come out of all of this is that I noticed a lot more people out walking and, especially, riding their pushies yesterday on a beautiful day.
Mate owns the LBS; bet he's been almost as busy as at Xmas time

On a personal note, I picked up my 8yo's home learning package this morning but before we sat down and got started on the first days tasks she joined me on my 5k morning walk followed by an hour in the kitchen preparing homemade pumpkin soup for tonight's dinner. She gets a bit of exercise that she wouldn't necessarily get at school and learns a bit in the kitchen and the Wife gets to come home from work and not have to worry about preparing a meal, win, win. |

Weird suggestion wouldn't have ever entered my mind but I guess you may know, enjoy but no thanks.

Haha. 😂 One does not have to agree at all with someone else. Lord knows I don't. But one should not censor what the other is arguing about, eg pink batts. It made sense to cheap and he is entitled to raise it as a point of consideration...

As per the other thread on "I hate that", had the bumper smashed on my R36 today.
Know the (top) bloke who did it and......i ensured we had a great laugh about it when we spoke.....whilst i love the car and it sucks sure, it is absolutely nothing in the scheme of things globally nor did he mean to do it!! As per my other post, IMO we need to look after each other in these difficult times, try and keep calm and positive when possible : ) |

The pictures of live dogs stuck in cages ready to go to "wet market" are just unbelievably shocking/distressing.
Obviously I was naive to it as never been there. But these *wits have a screw loose thinking that butchering, cruely treating and then eating animals like this is ok. I'm upset. And disgusted in humanity. They can get ******. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...wQ&app=desktop Many more videos out there of their meat markets. Also videos that have managed to get out of China of their authorities welding shut doors of apartment blocks to force people into isolation, gestapo like forced removal of civilians who are herded into vans & buses, off to christ know where and what fate they'll meet, beating of civilians on streets and inside apartment blocks for breaching their isolation rules. But hey, mainstream media will pick on Trump for pronouncing a word wrong. |

Everyone was warned but no one believed it would be a problem in the western world - because it never has been previously for sars and other epidemics... It's called covid19 because the world knew about it in 2019. No one cared, no one thought it could happen to them. It caught the western world napping and not believing it. But for some reason it's easier to blame the source rather than the inaction of people like Trump. I don't care about trump, when stuff happens you look to your local leaders and government for action, not fantasize about blaming some country (which is no help) Here's Mike Pompeo tweeting about sending supplies to China (and a reply from someone smarter) https://twitter.com/NaphiSoc/status/...3D2755%23pti31 |

I was pointing out the hypocrisy and selective morals the media and most of the west have when it comes to who they want to direct some faux outrage against. As mentioned, the contempt China has for fellow humans and animals is well documented yet we don't hear anything. Are the press too scared to touch on it... Scared they'll be called racist? Instead they're too busy quoting half a statement taken out of context said by Trump or something equally brainwashing and irrelevant. |

People don't avoid criticising them for fear of being called racist, the media and the politicians don't do it because of $$$$$$$$$$. Everybody wants their cheap labour, cheap stuff, investments and money. |
