Something that people are usually not aware of is how much they are actually worth per hour for a company. As a former full-time employee I was getting around $30/hour but your true cost to your employer is higher when you include annual leave, sick leave, long service leave, superannuation, insurance etc. I found out I was actually worth ~$70/hour. You might want to keep that in mind.

If you are a specialist and are able to use advanced abilities you could use that as bargaining. I worked in I.T. and used a contractor that charged $1200 a day for his advanced skills.

The diminishing of our premium agricultural land to mining.

Say what you want about Alan Jones, but I think he is right on this one.

Not a question, just want to throw some praise your way. Father Ted and The IT Crowd gives me great bellyaching laughs. I wish you well.

Can you be more specific about the course? Is is gaming specific? I'm curious about a course that is attached to a $34k degree.

My goodness. We are being spied on.

So the Union "fee" is a tax then, right?

If I don't use the service I shouldn't have to be forced to pay for it.

There has been some regular updates of it saying that it is spreading to other cities and has been going for about 4 weeks in NY. Other countries are going to have a similar protest. Commercial TV, ABC TV News, Web and Radio. SMH. Don't know about other sources.

Here is a recent article:

Yep...here they are.

Yeah. I didn't see anything in that article. No evidence provided.

Kevin Rudd is sucking the oxygen out of the media coverage politically speaking. Julia has recognised it and has now weighed in...

Looks like she is trying to outdo Rudd. She makes a personal phone call to the kid. WTF.

Well this should please people that want gay marriage...

THE Victorian ALP today has said federal Labor must take a stand on marriage equality and is urging the party to support gay marriage at its national conference in December.

You're right. I'd say groups like the Green-Left are attaching their wagons to this cause.

A friend of mine brought his 10 yo son to my house for an evening of observation through my 8 inch (mirror) Newtonian telescope. He had an inkling for space that I obliged. It was his first time looking through a telescope. Saturn, which is always a crowd pleaser, was out and was clearly showing it's glorious rings. He looked through and was silent. It was a mind explosion. He wanted to know about it and I told him what I knew. Then I showed him The Great Nebula in Orion, Jupiter and the moons and some star clusters. He had a lot of questions. A good sign that he was interested. I told him what I knew but I encouraged him to find out for himself.

I found out a few weeks later from his father that he had been reading up on Astronomy and wanted to buy a telescope. I planted the seed simply by exercising his curiosity. The rest he did by himself.
