Right and the pulling down fencing as some people I know have had to do as part of "Work for the dole" gives you experience, installs a work ethic and allows you to make meaningful contacts?
And no I haven't had any experience within the mutual obligation system as yet, but in a couple of months I may well, it's either that or allow my child to be raised by child care after school if I am forced to work.
I take offence that the suggestion that my anti-Liberal party sentiment is both mindless and rhetoric. I have built my view of the world as I perceive it and I have the courage to voice it without ticking "Post anonymously." Regardless of what I think of your opinions, I would not suggest you are a troll, I would however suggest that in to future that you not assume that anyone who holds a different opinion to yours to be one.
Where is this shortage?! I don't see it and I've looked.
As a single mum who may end up having to full fill some of this mutual obligation stuff if Little Johnny has his way, this sounds like a dream come true. Upping my coding skills, contributing to the community and actually having hope that this will help you get a job....
Wait a minute! This can't be right, since when has any of these things been involved in mutual obligation for people on government payments? Mutual obligation tasks are menial, pointless and soul destroying. I expect that this program will be barred from being classed as such very soon.
Regardless of whether the Goverments can be sued or not, in an instance such as this, particularly here in Australia I think they would be using the "we could be sued" line as an excuse not to migrate. Firstly, with the M$ propaganda they probably believe switching to OSS will cost more in the long run and secondly because they want to keep up appearences that they have shot themselves in the foot as much as they have the rest of the country by accepting the US IP laws as part of the "FTA."
I do believe that the Australian Capital Territory Govt has introduced legislation that calls for any new projects to look at OSS alternitives first in all territory related matters. However, being a territory and not a state, the federal government has the power to veto this law at any time.
It is a sad state of affairs that so much of the tax payers money is being used to pay for software licences, when there are free open alternatives. Particularly when in numerous cases they are using off the shelf products that aren't quite what they need but are the closest thing on offer, resulting in hacks and work arounds that are costing more money in govenment employee's wages.
But hey, it's only the tax payer and most of them think that Windows is the best, most secure and most cost effective operating system anyway, so what's the problem?!
We are headed into a sea of entertainment choices, and while the MPAA and the RIAA would like to make sailing these seas a cash cow with DMCA
With the use of words such as sailing and sea I can finally see how the term "piracy" might some how be legitimate!
However if that statement read "We are heading into a mountain of entertainment choices, and while the MPAA and the RIAA would like to make scaling this mountain a cash cow with the DMCA," would we be calling a copyright infringer a yeti?
