I'm still waiting for you to prove that Pakistan didn't win in 1992.

Did you need some assistance? Look at the original discussion, not the irrelevant nonsense you trotted out to 'assert'. There doesn't need…

>Have you actually read the EAs that the AFR is referencing I have, actually - there's just the one, the NSW ETU's EA. And yes, it's…

So yes, your claim of paying people differently based on whether they were in the union or not was entirely wrong. And no, the scarebaiting…

I figure you still need time to remember where the goalposts started before I add more for you to think about.

I say think harder because it's not a case of differing opinions, your different experience isn't at all relevant. You aren't critically…

Think harder. Do you believe they would be offered 5% increases if they didn't know the union was going to come along asking for 8%? This…

If you don't know how things work, don't talk as though you do, it looks ridiculous. If you THINK you know how things work because you read…

It's an improvement, but honestly I feel it's more of a familiarity level of 'standard' than it is something people actively enjoy at the…

Only ever buy aliexpress products where you are capable of verifying them before relying on them. The idea of buying bike tubes on…

Laws are changing on the use of casuals thanks to employers poisoning the well with pretend casuals (casuals employed in continuing roles…

Easy enough when it's one role, perhaps, but if you do it en masse to a unionised workforce you'd best have some serious budget allocated…

It's *BECAUSE* they have a strong union that they don't end up with significantly lower incomes. How on earth are people this blind, it's…

As an academic... uni courses ARE government accredited and audited. The organisation is TEQSA, and it places controls on what can be…

It's usually easier - the ability of people to defeat copy protection has accelerated much faster than the ability of copy protection to…

Flawed vs the hype it got, but then it would need to be the game of the millennium to match up with how people were raving about it. A…

I mean if you're going to do things that way then just pirate. Much easier. I do it for all of those Epic exclusives.

If you're heading down that route, then literally everything is 'chemical processing', because everything that is matter is a chemical and…

Cool, where did you publish?

The 'chemical processing' required to make the MSG you buy is to let natural bacteria make it, toss in some sodium, then let it dry into…

MSG absolutely is found in nature. It's what you get when glutamic acid encounters sodium. You'll get other salts as well, but it doesn't…

You might think you are, but you're basically in the same kind of group as people thinking vaccines cause autism - MSG sensitivity is a…

University academic - I have to go in when teaching a face to face class, when my lab equipment needs me to physically poke it rather than…

By all means, continue to share your entirely uninformed opinion based on incorrect assumptions. A directed driving health assessment is…

For Switzerland and Liechtenstein the answer is probably that people can afford it. There are motivations for all of the other countries to…

600m^2 ? Get a goat. Not even kidding. Fence off a garden area (cause it will eat that otherwise), keep a goat in the rest. Will also sort…

The idea of indexing the cost of a passport based on the number of countries it gets you access to without a visa is beyond silly. The cost…

I pirate for a whole bunch of reasons - there is a universal, perfect, never-expiring library of content available with none of the…

If the action (almost any action, really) was taken in furtherance of a conspiracy, i.e. it was a step in a plan where the plan involved a…

Plenty of defences can make actions that would otherwise be unlawful, lawful. The vast, vast majority of 'unlawful acts' in the Australian…
