And?
I'm a bit slow this morning. How/where are they "claiming it as their own"? Or was this just sarcasm. Again, with the slow this morning.

I guess some people interpret it as putting the greens logo on the aboriginal flag itself rather than on an image that also has the aboriginal flag.
Mostly, it just looks like a bit of a political faux pas.

On the back of rising participation; employment actually went up, but there's still too much underemployment and not enough jobs. That said it's worth noting that the ABS scaled using a 1.8% population growth rate that is probably too optimistic.
Also, the "recovery" from the GFC lows has reversed, or at best stalled.
I think underemployment is going to be the scourge of this generation.
I might be bias in thinking that, because I can see that it's going to be my fate, but I don't think there's anything anyone can do about the issue. Except maybe a 500% growth in the economy overnight.
I'm in the same boat man //hugs
doesn't help current government has gutted my sector
I guess its no less news than ACA.
Still its quite distressing to see the board cave to Abbott like this.

Well thats fucking awful treatment.
Well thats fucking awful treatment.
It was of the last too. Large amounts of underemployment disguising real unemployment figures.
Automation of HR <.<
Best bet is to just keep refreshing Chris Pyne's Twitter feed.

Abbot is whinging about the Carmichael coalmine being delayed by the federal court. Hilarious. Someone should remind him that the mine still has to get past another court case that might not conclude for a year, and that the mine itself is becoming increasingly unlikely to be viable financially, especially now that the Commonwealth Bank has walked away from it.
At least HR department people might lose their jobs too.
I'm technically employed......as a casual at EB games working 6-12 hours a week, I suppose I can say I'm back at Uni right now studying French and Chinese but that's because my brain is literally rotting due to complete under-stimulation. Either way 200 or so a week is hardly a livable wage....but they can count me as employed for their bullshit stats.
Which EB?
What're your qualifications? Try getting a job at the uni. Government jobs give mad super rates.

I assume Labor supports this too.

Maybe he thinks the ABC needs more blatant abuse of statistics and deliberate misrepresentation of data, He might just be upset that they aren't doing bias right.
Indeed. The Fox News debate was so quality this was the final question posed to candidates;
Spoiler alert: everybody questioned answered they had in fact received instructions from God.
Meanwhile the ABC isn't reporting on imaginary conversations. For shame.

Poor Old Sheriden, he's spent the last, god knows how long, unsuccessfully trying to persuade everyone that Abbott is not a complete bastard. It must be hard work, not too many true believers left. Maybe he should have taken the ambassadorship to Singapore when Abbott offered it before the 2013 election. I suspect Abbott won't be around much longer to offer him another.
Hard to say, Tony Smith has signalled his intent to skip party room meetings in an attempt to be a bit more independent, so if he follows through with that promise we can probably expect a bit more balance.
Don't expect Lib MPs to get thrown out nearly as often as Labor MPs though, that's just the name of the game...but hopefully it'll be better.

Urgh, why did I read some of that.
When I saw that surname I was about to call for you to be banned, but did a quick search on him before otherwise posting. Glad I did! For some reason I thought Katter Jr. must've been a half-brother I couldn't quite picture, given their ages must be kinda close. Nope. Katter Jr. is 70 and his half-brother Carl is 37. How the fuck does that work?!?
AND he's younger than his nephew.
Yeah he made a name for himself a few years back calling out Bob's homophobia.
But I hope his family name doesn't become an election issue because he is a great and passionate bloke committed to a range of issues.
If he is unsuccessful (which he likely will be) I hope he gets the opportunity to contest a more winnable seat.
He was set to be preselected for the seat of Prahran in Victoria until he dropped this nugget of wisdom on Twitter:

Shit. I heard about that fight but I didn't realise that the used that much vitriol.
A shame really because I think he would have won that seat if not for his momentary lapse of reason.
Absolutely. And She needs to be commended for speaking out on such a personal matter.
I only just found out on the weekend that a member of my extended family is using ice. She is 30 years old - her mum says that it's as though she's turned into a completely different person. She's refusing to get help or go into rehab. It's so god damned sad.
