Liberty Quote
The verdict of the historical research is unavoidable. It is the state itself that created the political ‘necessity’ for the welfare state.

Fuck off William.
you sound like a Karen that hasn’t start shrieking for the manager yet
I see. Still no quote to back up your fat mouth , numpty. What a surprise
You and I are completely opposed on the fundamentals of employment environment . While you are determined to give more job opportunities to cheap migrants flooding in from Mumbai, I am dead against importing more third worlders into this country, robbing those opportunities from our youngsters, crush loading our cities and sponging off tax payers. (No wage fixing there, right numpty?)
All in order to keep wages growth low to negative and save Business from actually investing in local development, while pocketing an ever greater share of GDP.
The readership will easily work out what a slimey, deceitful piece of work you are. Fk off.
I love this place.
This is how long it is taking me to scroll back. Wish I had more time here and also to post comments as witty and insightful as so many others.

Have you ever ridden inside a tyre before?
It’s not OK – just as the Catallaxy narrative that there is a major problem with teachers abusing children in public schools is not OK.
Statistically it’s bullshit.
The bin chicken doesn’t like public schools and their senior staff being held to the same politically correct standard applied to the Catholic church.
BJ – The Left has been actively protecting schools from scrutiny because teachers’ unions, but the Left has been attacking the Catholic Church because class-enemy. If the same standard was used for the former as for the latter I suspect the results would be quite explosive.

Trades is the down side of the internet. A big mouth union parasite with a keyboard.
Of course there’s no quote. That’s because you refuse to answer the question, you dishonest dickhead.
That sentence assumes we’re on a equal footing but we’re not, Trades Hall. You’re a Fairwork supporting parasite whereas I’ve always supported a free and unimpeded labor market.
Kinship economics again rears its ugly deformed head. Trades Hall sees the economy like any union parasite. He believes its all zero sum. He also has the detestable view that we should pay for his kids.
Lol. The grey labor market is well below the official one, so of course there’s wage fixing, but that comes from Fairwork – not employers and prospective candidates negotiating rates of pay and conditions.
We have the highest minimum wage rates in the world and Trades Hall wants more. Business should fork out more, according to Trades Hall the union parasite!
I’m sure they do, but what they see is the slimy, hypocritical sack of shit that you are. Pay your own kids the money and don’t expect us to, you parasite.
Again:
Do you support Fairwork or a liberalized, open labor market?
Go!
Grrr.
What I say last night?
Anthony MacDonald-Tipper has a clear run at goal, unselfishly handballs to someone … who misses.
The last thing victims want to hear is defensive “Statistically it’s bullshit.” from people in authority. C.L’s defense of Pell contained no such words.
You know, if you’re an ABC piker, you would have to be shitting yourself at the moment. The chances of coming out of there and get a real job must be zero at the moment.
You’re sitting there, writing leftwing propaganda about gerbil warming, racism, mean employers/greedy business.
Government deficits are heading to Pluto and you’re sitting there in a cushy job with a government generally hostile to you and the organization and the prospect of even more cuts heading your way.

Fisheries authorities have (or are about to depending on where you are) ban chucking entrails overboard from boats towing hooklines to protect birds.
This could lead to unintended consequences of dumping lots of waste in one go.

Lol, right over the target. Fatmouth JC is getting all in a panic with the truth bombs.
Even though the RBA acknowledged low/negative wages growth and immigration are connected, fatmouth slime like JC still wants everyone to believe his plan for ever more migrants here to keep wages lower and prevent job opportunities staying here with our people is a great outcome. There will be all those great bespoke barista jobs available. Negative per capita GDP is good for the soul.Right fatmouth?

From the same article:

Two of the three ‘pens’ are pregnancy testing kits. She’s preparing for a barbie after the shift, followed by a harassment claim, followed by seven years of paid maternity leave.

They conceded 50 points twice already this year, and now tonight.
Eat shit Broncos. They’ll burn the Caxton Hotel for this.
I agree KD. Seibold deserves everything he gets
I don’t follow NRL.
WTF gives with the Broncos?
Or …
Who is rooting whose missus?
Seibold, the coach, thinks he’s an academic. He speaks to brainless mongs in a pseudo intellectual manner that is both needless and above their heads. He has a higher opinion of himself than the players do. I can’t say who told me this.
When will Sinc come in and do the ‘watch the Bombers fly up’ mantra ? Oh wait.

Coming to the pub? No, I have to be home by the time Jessica gets here.
What’s going on? Oh, I have to drop her off at work and then pick her up when she knocks off.
Golf? No, I only play on the weekends when Jessica wants to. Then we play together*.
Answer your phone, you cock. Sorry. Jessica and I were talking about both of us giving up smoking.
You mean you giving up smoking. Yes.
I mean, what sort of man makes his missus’ own engagement ring, makes a movie, covers the whole fucking thing with love heart effects and pictures of them both and sends it to his family as a Christmas present?
It’s like seeing Jack Nicholson being arrested at the end of A Few Good Men. Could have been anything, but fucked it up royally. Or like your dog dying.
So fuck him and fuck the Broncos.
*I may have spoken of them wearing matching golfing attire. Chosen by her. Ponce.
KD, thats like a death in the family. Condolences.
Sounds like KD’s mate is getting a rough deal.
It’d be different were he getting plenty.
But if the gold ring is on, the getting plenty will have ended that night when his fiance was swapped out & replaced by the evil twin.
Ah, whuddayagonnado Siltstone.
And he ‘borrowed’ my work boots when he got a new job. No chance of getting those bastards back.
That’s what hurts the most. Boot thief.
From calli at 8:38 pm:
At the outset I say Victoria deserves everything it gets; people voted over and over again for more of what they are now copping from their politicians; cops choose to work for the most disgraceful policing pretence in the country (jointly holding the Dead-Man-Monis-is-Our Hero Award won by career interrupted Assistant Colonel Debbie Byrne of NSW Police Pop Ups); residents cannot get enough of those rich cultural North African home invasions; the elderly earned the right to be ignored when they ring 000, for not stopping the rot decades ago by lynching Kirner and Cain; ambulancemen deserve to be pelted with bottles by sub-hooo mans for not going on strike for a couple of months; and so on.
This encounter offers fabulous comedy value – the police-girlie topped her class in immediate surrender techniques; her shift superintendent topped his in failing to brief his constables in what to say when challenged about their authority – you know, glib one-liners to shut them up; asking permission from the punter to ring her sergeant? – where did that come from? that took the cake.
The just happened to be out walking walkerettes from up near Collingwood – hippie chicks, uniform issue freak-show-lives matter rainbow coloured joggers, carting brat Phôeb̧e with them – armed with Jodéé’s friend Mouthy who is in turn armed with the UNHCR Charter and the State Charter of Human Rights Act 2006 and also armed with some other skank armed with a mobile phone movie camera and talking points on enactments, the preceding White Paper, the Hansard transcript of the Second Reading, the legislation and the regulations … all the stuff one has in their back pocket whilst out walking.
Someone has been doing a short course at tech in legal concepts and decided to give her exceptional skills a run, to show off on FacePlant or Tinder / Tender?

Jobs, wages etc. are far more complex than labeling each other names.
In an unfettered capitalist system with no gov. welfare there would be low wages and hardships.
Make no mistake, there are, were and will be bloody minded ruthless bosses ready and willing to exploit.
Saying that one can refuse to work in a job if wages offered are too low is BS, 3 kids a wife and mortgage will see to that.
In that scenario only the highly skilled and in demand trades and professions could demand the payment they want.
There was a need for collective muscle, unions.
That was the situation before gov. intervened.
I’m not in fav of unions these days, you cannot have the employers being attacked on two fronts.
Fixing wages other than minimum living wage is wrong.
From Steve trickler at 9:49 pm:
Only splendid – she’s been blessed.
Just finished Delta Force with Chuck. The thumping Chuck gives the head of the RoP fruitcakes is memorable. Lee Marvin is in it too; he puts a lot of bullets between the eyes of the RoP swine. At the end when they’ve rescued all the J.wish hostages they belt out a stirring rendition of Star Bangled Banner. See it while you still can.
Yes you did.

Even if players are 4D chess types it is fucking hectic out there.
Keep it simple.
But here’s the upside of Kung Flu.
The money drain on NRL and AFL could be a good thing.
It will force a lot of assistant coaches out of the game.
What we had in the AFL was 8-10 assistants, all trying to make a name for themselves, getting in the ears of players about what they should or shouldn’t do in 180 different scenarios.
Cop lady should have fined both Mouthy and her friend and if they persisted, arrested them both.

h/t the 12th man.
“Delta Force” was shot in Israel. The film company flew an American expert to brief the Israeli extras on how to carry out a counter terrorist raid. As he finished his presentation, one of the extras stood up.
“You are obviously unaware that, like all Israelis, we’ve all done military service. I’m a member of our counter terrorist unit, and I can see at least three others here. Given your recent military record, we reckon we’re better at the job then you.”
The military expert flew home that evening.

It’s been mentioned already but it confirms my point that conservative, reasonable women are total lookers:
Miss Swimsuit UK, 23, is stripped of title over ‘All Lives Matter’ Facebook post – as it emerges her actor boyfriend shared anti-BLM meme stating ‘white privilege is a leftist lie’
That’s because cops don’t know the law and I was crossing state borders for my job the whole time.
Cops, even when they do know the law think everyone around them is the enemy and a fuckwit and they belong to a special club.
It may surprise you to know I used to work with the ex senior sergeant of Bourke cops who quit and went out piloting oversize loads, he started me years ago on learning my rights.
The stories he told me about the women in the force, how they stuffed it, how the young cops have trouble writing up reports because they can’t spell, how they would go to their homes if called out to the blackfellas and just not turn up etc.
He was from the old school.

Hey Struth.
I wasn’t having a crack at you.
I just reckon it was funny that two very disparate people have pulled the same stunt on Plod.
I intend to do the same if pulled.
One thing it does above all else is say to Plod … “This one will be hard work. Can you be bothered?”
You know, I always thought…
What do you think now?
Top Ender, I’m well into your book “Atomic Salvation.” Damnfine history. Well done.
Very, very little, mate. Senility is a bastard.
I didn’t think you were, LL.
By the way, to those Queenslanders, surprise surprise, people I know who have a pub got told by the AHA that they will most likely be in lock down again soon.
Funny how they know.
The anti alcohol wowser groups around the country, and the AHA actually being one of them, are having a ball.
Anything fun or social that they cannot fully control has pissed them off for years.
Now they have total control.
Unless we rebel by either someone of some party coming along to reverse this, we will never have free interaction and fun in pubs, or in many other ventures the bureaucrat wowsers fun haters have been attacking for years.
I’ve heard no such communication.
Given the level of competence of the QHA it is rather a shock that anybody in the game believes they’ve got a clue.
Heavy lifting ain’t the specialty of the QHA.
Anyone who can play such different roles as Bruce Lee’s Kung Fu opponent and also the hilarious co-pilot Roger in Airplane cannot be all bad.

Nick, since when did sporting teams think it a good idea to turn on the people who stick with them through thick and thin and who pay their way?
I don’t thing it’s a good look to be banning members for matters not illegal and beyond the jurisdiction of football clubs. Gee, if the current draconian controls remain in place for much longer in Victoria there will be no-one left with enough money to pay for a membership!

I think you need to get your argument straight Mark. I have never argued for fixing wages only fixing our skewed immigration system that brings in over 200,ooo migrants per year over the last decade and more. That is on top of our organic population growth. The clown JC claims I have but he can’t find a single quote of mine to substantiate. No surprise as it’s all lies. His style.
Beyond that , wages and salaries locally can sort themselves out through supply/demand but without the flood of imported labour to artificially pump prime the supply side, suppressing wages growth and depriving our youngsters of job/career opportunities.
Shades of our pollster from 2016, JC. btw has he given an update yet?
Like all hard-left activists, she lied to the court.
From news.com – Xiaoran Shi released a statement declaring “the real crime is that nobody has been convicted for an Aboriginal death in custody”, after her lawyer Michael Blair had told the court his client took full responsibility for the act.
Happens everyday in Australia.
Makka;
1/. The artificial floor price in wages is set arbitrarily by the FWC (who’re totally inoculated from any adverse consequences of their decisions) & any market or other forces are not a factor in the wage level, how does the import of 200,000 or 2,000,000 or only 20 scrawnies from 3rd world shitholes have any effect?
2/. Even with (for argument’s sake) the wage reducing effect of supply & demand from the current numbers of 3rd world scrawnies swamping the country, almost nobody in Australia is paid the National Minimum Wage. How does this come to be?
With rare & difficult to find exception, every employee in Australia is paid above (& measurably above) the National Minimum Wage.
Employers have to pay the artificially set floor price or else the force of the state will be used to ruin them.
The fkg Broncs.
Having watched another game of my team throwing in the towel from the first set I can only scream for the sacking of White, Siebold, Nolan and Lockyer. You fkheads have wrecked what was once a great team and club. Nothing short of your dismissals by Sunday will save this team. they have capitulated completely. It’s written all over their stunned mullet faces as try after try was waved through tonight.
Get Kevie in their – NOW, Brisbane. His #2 must be Gordon Tallis so he can help them to find their spines. Ditch Milford, Boyd, Isarko immediately- pay them out and fuck them off. Put that lzy fk Croft on notice too. Take $2k off player game for every missed tackle. Every player to clean the shithouses at Red Hill.

Agree.
Didn’t want to involve other aspects only wanted to point out the fallacy of markets fixing everything.
To a certain degree it’s true but when it comes to who has the upper hand in employment it is not true unless the weaker side is organised and has the power to demand.
Never was fond of immigration just to increase the population numbers .
Otherwise I have no problem, with a lot of qualifications which would label me with all the currently popular tags.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Supportive evidence for this theory – the players can’t work out where to stand in defence, don’t know which opposition players to tackle, and can’t talk to each other to coordinate a defensive line.
Simple stuff for a coach to fix – normally.
Sal, you have been on here regularly doing your bit shilling for foreign labour, 457’s etc. The fucks I couldn’t give for your terrible predicament.
That’s a #metoo
I gave up the smokes long time ago
A little while ago I overheard someone complain that they hated people trying to beg for smokes because “they are a fuckin dollar each”.
Me … “a dollar? That can’t be right?”
Yep.
Who the fuck can afford that?
That is a pretty stupid & juvenile answer to two serious questions.
You’ve let yourself down.
(I didn’t realise you drank this heavily of a Friday night, sorry)
No probs Mark. I’m no union fan either, I detest them, their philosophies. But most of all their corrupting influence. I want the labour market to work better, free from the systemic manipulation by Govts engineering unfettered false supply. We would be a much better and healthier country for it.
So Makka.
Can I paraphrase.
You think there is some room for improvement at the Broncos, no?

Not casting any aspersion but have to agree with you.
His argument about this is a bit monotonous, wonder how other hospitality employers manage?
Could be management style, attitude?
Care to back that up?
I’ve a feeling that unlike Makka you’re not drunk blogging.
Anyways, Friday nights are not what they used to be.
To make it even worse here are my lame pics.
Thanks Mark, some good ones in there!
Thanks Mark.
Always enjoyable and tonight’s lot was all class.

That sounds like the bloke whose fiancee described here pulled a swifty about the Grand Final wedding and put on the waterworks “You don’t really love meeeeee!” Duplicitous bitch.
“If you’re going to do that before the marriage, what are you going to be like after?”
Anyone who can play such different roles as Bruce Lee’s Kung Fu opponent and also the hilarious co-pilot Roger in Airplane cannot be all bad.
OSC, for an actor he was reasonably handy at basketball as well. At least for a little bloke.
Mate. How much pain and embarrassment do we have to endure? They all have to go!
Hey guys, the new fred is ==> thataway.
Sooo, does anyone know how BAT FLU hotspots work in NSW?
I am in the vulnerable classification being 72.. yet live 100mts from the latest NSW hotspot in Wetherill Park and my 1st info on the issue was from a daughter, who lives in Melbourne, ringing me yesterday to ask how I feel. She had seen it on the TV news but as I don’t watch media rubbish had heard nuttin’, nuttin; at all!
It seems that it was detected several days ago but to date nothing has been said/done around here that I’m aware of .. My property adjoins the shopping centre involved, in fact, I am the closest residential property (fence adjoins & 100mts from restaurant involved) to the outbreak spot yet hadn’t heard anything official or otherwise.
As far as I’m aware there are no notices posted in the centre and am unaware of any testing being done so how does it work?
Is the whole idea of a hotspot based on the level of media coverage or does the gummint have a plan?
Given that I live in a small HC estate and none of the occcupants are jumping up and down you can rest assured that this BAT FLU outbreak isn’t common knowledge .. with this estate being 95% CentreLink dependent you can guarantee if the ethnic masses thought there was a quid to be made out of this situation they’d be screaming blue bloody murder but nary a whisper is doing the rounds!
Or as they say in the classics ..
GLADYS, WHERE THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU .. WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! ..
except some of us appear to be more in it than others!
Is “The Federal Budget” a thing enshrined in the Constitution?
Or is it just a bit of theatre?
What does the Constitution say about appropriation of funds?
