The Perth Thread - Part 4

[blueboy25]

Interesting that the police have interviewed her biological dad as he was in Mandurah was an interesting development.

Would be par for the course for any split family that they would interview both biological parents even if they have split

A complete stranger snatching a kid from inside a closed tent in the middle of the night would have to be the least likely scenario.

Also the family arrived at the camp site just as the sun was setting so not much time at all for a potential predator to observe her and decide to grab her.

True but the sleeping bag part is what baffles me.

True but the other scenarios don't seem that likely either? Plus things missing from the tent.

That Ben Harvey makes me want to spread his nose all over his face, with a chainsaw. Nearly as smug and smartarsey as the current excuse of a PM and that's saying something.

The way the mum was recapping the night on the news this evening implied that she was in a different room to them in the tent so it makes a bit more sense as to how they didn’t wake up

Ben Harvey has the knives out - no surprise with a federal election coming

Missus has worked with PCH in the past and absolutely hates Telethon (despite being a very philanthropic person in general). The reasons are many but a lot of it is

- A lot of time in the lead up actually negatively affects the hospital day to day, things like camera crews and celebs in the way
- Not all the money goes to PCH, a few others get a piece of the pie for better or worse
- The government donating money is kind of backwards, just fund the thing properly.

Among many other reasons.

---------------------

As to why it has taken off, my guess is that given the current climate in regards to businesses having to be more than just business and have some kind of corporate social responsibility as well. Helping the sick kids is a nice easy way to do that

I only caught a few minutes of Telethon this year (around 6.30pm on the Sunday) and it was nice to see Baz make a few boneheaded words as per usual as well as the Rio Tinto guy slowrolling with a donation of

"12 million dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....................... over three years".

So we have very similar numbers to Queensland, South Australia and NT.

I wonder what happened in those other states for them to be so far ahead?????

Problem is that a lot of these guys are essential to the mining industry eg fitters et al, so it will be really interesting to see what employers do.

Most of these guys still live pay packet to pay packet even when they are on big bucks. Most won't have any savings and they will be lining up for a vaccine pretty quickly.

Unfortunately for the anti-vaxers, if they catch covid and spread it around their workplace, those that catch it can take legal action against the employer for creating an unsafe working environment and will win. The companies will protect their arses before bowing to a bunch of knob heads.

People will whinge and moan but the vast majority will fall in line.Common sense will prevail when a paycheck is threatened.
As for the mining industry there are tons of intrusions on your personal as it is with mandatory d n' a ,mandatory ppe, mandatory temprature testing mandatory narcs with eyes on everyone making sure you walk in the designated walk ways,don't take off your gloves don't take off your safety glasses etc then you have to watch your mouth at all times and all the other ohs you have to fall in line with to get paid the big bucks.It is a very controlled work environment at the best of times.The people who leave if there are any will be the people who are gonna leave anyway.

Which reminds me of the 'bodily autonomy' argument when it comes to vaccines - BHP can dismiss you on the spot if you come into work drunk, anyone ever claimed 'bodily autonomy' on that one, saying they infringed your human right to get shitfaced?

Your bodily autonomy extends as far as the bodily autonomy of the person next to you.
