How much of that will come from taxpayer's money?

Just received a letter that was dated 23rd August 2020.

Better late than never I guess...

The employment contract I finally got offered had my start date different to when I actually started, then it asked me to sign & date it and return it before 27 August 2018...

Out of curiosity, anyone else ever thought of packing their bags, seeing how much crap fits in their car and heading to Tasmania to see what opportunities are available - or is that just me?

After 21 Summers of average temps of ~40'C and above I have been tempted a time or two

Love this....

When deciding to brag about the percentage of votes ya received, maybe it's best to not do so when 25% of people still found an alternative voting option when one is running unopposed

Might want to include a biography in there. I've never heard of her.

Bond girl is the only reason I know her. Her death wasn't quite as good as Famke Janssen's.

It’s only blood clots. Nothing to see here. They would have got blood clots anyway

Just read through the whole thread - really good read, and even if it's been said 100 times before it doesn't hurt to say it 100 times more

 

[Spazz Cat]

Remember that White Zombie song?
I am the Astro Creep, a demolition style American freak yeah

TBH i didn't read the thread but I kind of see it both ways.
As in its sad and it hurts. Why bother sticking up for your gender? Does it really matter? Just let it be sad cause it is.
But also the people that do this shit are the dead set f**ked up freaks of society.
Yep they're all men, but how much will education and stuff stop these people?
It won't!
They're freaks. You can't change that.

How many men do this stuff though. A dozen or so a year? It sucks, but there will always be deranged people in society. Nothing will stop it. It’s just silly to assume the average man in the street will in some way stop it from happening. The deranged will fulfill their blood lust one way or another, if they are that sick. It’s got nothing to do with respect for women or any of that. They are just killers, probably looking for an easy target.

You could say identifying potential threats before it happens might be helpful, but the reality is it’s probably impossible to do.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Haha yeah.

Yeah that's what I was getting at
They're preaching to the converted. We do not want to rape or kill women at all.
We'd f**king hate it.
But those freaks with that bloodlust? Don't think telling them to respect women will stop those feelings.
But also if someone has a Twitter thing about some chick who got murdered why the f**k go on there to argue about gender issues? Is it that important?
Just leave it.

Exactly. Some people just can’t help themselves.

Also another rant but if you want to change attitudes towards women have some balls.
Educate the elite private schools.
They are the people that are going to run the country. That helps change the whole country.
And the attitudes (of both boys and girls) towards women and people in general is shocking.
Then have some balls and educate religions and cultures that have poor attitudes towards women.
Instead of letting anyone in that wants to buy a house and pay land tax, why not see what their attitudes are first?

No one ever says anything about certain religions that paint women as nothing more than servants for men. No one dares say anything because they will get called racist. When it’s not even a race, it’s a religion. Clown world.

That’s because most people are the worst kinds of cowards and hypocrites. Fall over themselves to scream what good people they are but there’s zero chance they’ll ever risk anything to help anybody.

Spot on about certain religions too.

“Respect women”
“Obviously, only an imbecile would think otherwise. What about Islam?”
“That’s their culture, you racist!”

Is it? In what way?

Happy for people to make constructive suggestions, but I’d also like to know exactly what’s wrong first. And the evidence. And be specific too.

Yeah if you want specific but its going to be a lengthy post though

More than 500 disturbing stories of alleged sexual assault at some of Sydney’s most prestigious private schools – involving several high-profile alleged attackers – have been revealed in a damning collection of testimonies.


When the "young sluts" Instagram account set up by boys from Brighton Boys Grammar was reported in the media last year, headmaster Ross Featherston said the school was taking the matter very seriously. The Age reported at the time that "a Melbourne mother who spoke out in disgust... told Fairfax Media that she received a threatening phone call from an 'old boys' club' parent'."

When boys from Melbourne Grammar were filmed rating girls on a scale of one to 10 and being told not to bring anyone under a seven to the end of year formal the following month,

When a series of group sexual assaults at Trinity Grammar in Sydney was exposed in 2000, the school hired a public relations firm to divert the media reporting to an issue of "bullying" – rather than the systemic rapes of children, watched and applauded by large groups of students. Four students eventually pleaded guilty to various offences and were given good behaviour bonds.
That none of the offenders faced any serious consequences was not surprising, the report said: "Each boy had his own team of lawyers. These were ruling-class boys."

Boys at St Michael's Grammar School, one of Melbourne's most expensive private schools, were last year involved in what police called a pornography ring – a Dropbox folder containing nude images of girls from the school, believed to have been created by a 16-year-old male student, was accessed by several other male students at the school.

St Paul's College at Sydney University, infamous for its pro rape Facebook group.

'I was unconscious on the floor when two boys thought it was acceptable to have sex with me and put foreign objects inside of me without any consent. I was paralysed but I could feel everything,' she told the Courier Mail
The boys, who attend a private boys' school in Queensland, were arrested a few days later.
Following the boys' arrests, she was subjected to death threats and abuse, leading to mental health issues and a suicide attempt.
A deal was eventually struck with the boys despite Stephanie's willingness to go to trial.

Tried to include most states. But seriously 500+ allegations only came out like a month ago. It could go on and on and on.

Some disturbing shit going on there.....Private school kids do have a penchant for this sort of stuff, having went to a private school myself I can confirm a group of boarding students played the game soggy biscuit....When I heard about it I thought it had to be bullshit, but it was later confirmed by a friend who declined the invitation to join. So sometimes it doesn’t even involve females....
