Perception *rimshot*
Neither the Australia nor the New Zealand Sanitarium companies pay company tax on their profits, due to their ownership by a religious organisation.
Capitalism ho!
I refuse to buy their shit due to this.

RIP in peace Weet-Bix consumption 
Wait.... wait. There's something else there, but I just can't think of it.
Gimme a sec.
I'd go for a job there, just so I can say on a Friday "So, I'm planning on picking up a few women, maybe steal some booze and do some drugs this weekend... maybe even rub a few out. What about you guys?"
Because they're basically the same game?
Crazy.

I would buy it, since I don't already own it. I also think Valve aren't asshole-y enough to have it at Aus newgame prices for what is exactly the same game files.
Dunno if it's been mentioned yet, but it's because you've set a waypoint in that lane (the little circle), that Google thinks you wish to go to your destination via.
because the s.links are different and i turn off my brain while dungeon crawling and listen to podcasts

We run trimester system though so most places running 2 semesters go back second week of February I think, my sisters does anyway.
By we I mean my previous employer, still feels weird to be out of there :/
My Mum works there. I do not have any nice things to say about how they treat or pay her for the work she does.
They're Seventh-day Adventist and their belief system impacts their work environment. Not in a good way in my opinion.

Isn't the third Trimester basically a more expanded Summer Semester? Not all schools run during the third Trimester.
Wait, why am I asking you... I work there. It doesn't actually affect me at all though so I never paid attention to it.
Ick. I don't mind places stating they have particular ideals if that's the background of their company, but it sounds like they're negatively impacting the place, so fuck those guys.

They expanded the summer semester and condensed the trimester down to like, 12 weeks or something.
I dunno! I haven't even been at uni for a while
Also I will sacrifice you all for some ducking Schnitz chips right now >_<

I worked at Sanitarium this morning, I am an atheist. In full disclosure I am a casual worker there through an agency. But in saying that the permanent people employed directly by sanitarium go around swearing and there's at least one homosexual there (ONE).
There's a difference between wanting people with good values like those preached by Christianity and explicitly excluding anyone who isn't Christian.
But yeah not having to submit financial reports or pay company tax is total bullshit. Fucked.

What if wanting people with those values included having religious iconography in the office?
Sanitarium is no different to other criminal/fraudulent activities conducted by hillsong, the rcc, anglican churches and various clappy non denominational cash churches. Theyre all a farce, they all demand special protection to behave like bigots and get free money to do so. Theyre also all experts at playing victim cards when called on their bullshit.
Fuck 'em all.
Fuck 'em all.

What criminal or fraudulent activities have Sanitarium participated in? The problem isn't them, it's the law. Can you blame them for taking advantage of concessions the law gives them? I would do it.
Not paying tax, and hiring preferentially for christian candidates.
Just because 'its the law, can you blame them' is a convenient excuse, is it really fair given the law is written by religious people and maintained by them by threat of uproar (see this weeks news re: discrimination protection for christian employers). It's a corrupt set of laws that usually appear in nepotistic regimes.

Yep, I live there. My girlfriend lives in Rawson, at the Southern Ash Wildlife Shelter (where Sam the Koala was) and they're prepping to evacuate themselves and the animals just in case. That's on one side of my town, there's another huge fire on the other side too, where those photos are from.
god did get his son a plum job....

Hey AusGAF, I feel like I haven't been here in forever
I had completely forgotten about that. Law or not, it's dodgy as hell. Doesn't the Assembly of God own Gloria Jeans? I've tried to avoid their coffee since hearing that.
Also NRLGAF Lyon wants out of the Sea Eagles to go to the Titans

Yeah I learnt about gloria jeans something like 4-5 years ago. It was either AoG or hillsong, I forget, but havent had anything there since.
It really is anticompetitive too to have large companies with high profits and no tax bill. Maybe gina rineheart can 'find god', start up her own cult like hillsong and run her mining ops as a spinoff from her church. After all, that's how immoral the behaviour of sanitarium and their ilk is.
At least rineheart pays tax. That already makes her a better person

His track record makes this completely unsurprising. Also, a four year deal is knee-slappingly funny, he's already 31.
In other, sadder, NRL news, Jon Mannah has passed away from Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He was 23.
It's an established privellige thanks to the heirarchs in early Australian society belonging to various chuches. Essentially its the status quo, which is declared immune from challenge by way of public outcry from churches every time someone suggests they should pay their fair share.
Thats fine, so long as you dont start a tax rort.
edit: also, Im surprised by your tone. It seems you have taken this conversation as an attempt to rubbish beliefs people have. It's not - it's about rubbishing the needless privileges that are afforded to churches that already make obscene sums of money as businesses.
