General Dogsbody..promoted in the field
This little fella is responsible for global warming, its certainly not the coal and oil industry. He should be banned
why aren’t the robots working in the mines and oil fields and handling toxic chemicals or picking plastic out of the ocean? why are they writing emails and making powerpoint presentations? what the hell are we doing
@TMFScottP@marc69995682 What "other things"... farming for sustainable food production?, manufacturing for stuff we need? Making medicines so the world doesnt leave us stranded like last time? Were in this mess because the conversation is always about lowest cost not a robust and engaged society.
@strangerous10 My car is a lethal weapon. Imagine highways with no rules. We take a technology and regulate until its safe. What's different about AI. Guidelines and Rules to design it so its fit for purpose. Our purpose, not a billionaire's or a techbro but society and its people
#Whyalla And the sale which was in August /September/ end of next month/ no next month/ next three and half months / by the end of the year ...is still progressing well!! Fuck @KordaMentha , you've screwed us again. $1 Billion down the toilet w/ absolutely nothing to show for it
@_JohnMerchant Hi John, only three choices: shut the place, build an EAF or reline the furnace. Newcastle relined and are still operating but not the green option. So its build an EAF or close. Korda have burnt $1Billion on what? $600m for an EAF looks cheap and inevitable.
Whyalla's Blast furnace issues wouldnt be a problem if they had commissioned the EAF from the day Korda Mentha took over. We'd probably have foundations at least poured by now. Instead its just a dairy for these criminals to milk daily.
@TheKouk Greens' Hanson commented and i actually agreed: AI is an extractive industry. We need to be infront & profit from it this time. not let the overseas corporations suck the life out of this country another time. Commision away to your hearts content. or do we just roll over again
@gturrill@AussieVal10 "If we had known about it, we probably wouldn't have bought a house...had my sympathy to this point. Dont buy a house if you are not a permanent resident or just pay the tax. Also, do your research if you are about to drop a few hundred grand on something.
@strangerous10 James Ashby is a total slime ball. If you want this cretin to have any part of your political decision making keep voting for Gina..sorry, Pauline the glove puppet
A well-argued rejoinder to the bilious tide of saint-claiming going on right now. From a business owner/originator who clearly knows what he’s talking about. Bravo
@AuMiningReview What a choice out of 70 Bidders...Another unproven experiment or Gupta 2.0? Well done Korda Mentha, you've done it again. See you again in another 7 years
@Skippy_Bush_Roo@MJBiercuk@Ben_Davison1 And the advantages offered are removed and you are treated just like everyone else. Assets protected and so are you, thought that was the point and not just trying to minimise tax?$100k? Wage amounts. If more pay for better advice. Theres still ways and means.
@Skippy_Bush_Roo@MJBiercuk@Ben_Davison1 so pay yourself a wage from the trust and pay PAYG tax on the way through then there's no distribution tax required and assets are still protected and even better you get first claim as an employee on trust assets if it goes pear shaped.
Update:Korda Mentha, the idiots that sold it to Gupta last time, continue to milk Whyalla. What incentive is there for a fast resolution? The longer they stay the more money they make. Fortunately once the government teat runs out they will be gone. Incompetent criminals in suits
@ShaneOliverAMP Or get the gas and oil foreign owned multinationals to pay at least some tax. Notice i didn't see any suggestion that would cost you anymore?
@strangerous10@DavidShoebridge These 10 year olds arn't like the ones at your dining table blowing out their birthday candles and wishing for a new bike. They ceased being little kids long before their arrests. Deal with the feral parents if you want a solution
