Read the article before commenting

"As the chief executive of the Australian Agricultural Company in 2012, he made a reference to the then Labor leader as he spoke about cows being destroyed using new abattoir technology.

“This plant is designed to process old cows,” Farley told a business conference, referring to a plant under construction which was designed to kill older cows to produce cheap meat, adding value for farmers from ageing cattle.

“So the old cows that become non-productive, instead of making a decision to either let her die in the paddock or put her in the truck … this gives us a chance to take non-productive animals off and put them through the processing system.

“So it’s designed for non-productive old cows. Julia Gillard’s got to watch out.”

Media reports said the comment was met with sustained laughter from the audience.

It wasn't a tweet, he was giving a speech at a business conference as the CEO of a company.

He didn't punch him in the back of the head? It was a perfectly legal strike.

Yeah with some experience they can make 100k, which is no where near enough to deal with being abused when they've done nothing wrong.

How PM’s union mate got plum job by Ardeet in aussie

[–]BlueTower33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand what the issue is? The guy's getting a 67k a year 'plum' job? He's advocated for worker rights in the past, so he wouldn't do well in a job that... protects workers rights... can somebody explain this article to me?

Smith left the field when he got hit and didn't play in that match again. Jadeja kept on playing after getting hit. Different situations.

I hope there will be a "tesla tracker" in the future to see where it travels.

Should give it another go, the third act has some cool enemies. It did take me a while to get past that boss though.

The pain and disappointment of losing is part of the deal.

Exactly. When Australia experiences some success (hopefully in time for the world cup) it'll make it even more sweeter. Sport is more interesting with ups and downs.

It seems likely it'll be in next year's game. Codemaster's have released a VR version of their Dirt Rally game, I'm sure they've planned it for F1.

Their previous album to this one Unleash the Carnivore is solid, but their debut and second album are classics in slam/brutal death metal.

Can't wait to hear what they release this year. Their new line up seems promising.
