When Sahar Khalili started work as a casual pharmacist eight years ago, she was paid $35 an hour. Over the years that has fallen to as low as $30 while her rent has more than doubled.
War on wages: Australians are working harder and going backwards
Money laundering syndicates linked to the CBA compliance scandal worked with drug smugglers who imported ice worth $315 million in 2015.
"Your financial hardship was the main cause of your offending," Justice Jeremy Allanson, who sentenced her to 7½ years' prison in the WA Supreme Court last August, said.
"You have no known criminal history, you have no physical or mental health problems and, as I understand it, you do not use illicit drugs ... the present offences are out of character.
"You needed money and you allowed yourself to be used."
WHO GETS ARRESTED? NOT ANYONE ON THE CORPORATE SIDE OF CRIME
CommBank ATM scandal syndicate linked to the biggest ice haul in WA history
COINCIDENCE? OR TURNBULL'S SECRET DEAL TO TAKE GUANTANAMO PRISONERS?
Did Malcolm Turnbull secretly agree to take the last 31 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay if the US took our boat people? Is that why Turnbull privately told Donald Trump: "We will then hold up our end of the bargain by taking in our country 31 [inaudible] that you need to move on from... People [Obama was] very keen on getting out of the United States."
A WAY TO HOLD A PUBLIC VOTE ON GAY MARRIAGE, AFTER ALL
Stephen Dawson says the Turnbull Government might still have a way to hold a compulsory public vote on same-sex marriage without the Senate being able to stop it. Tell the Commonwealth Statistician to do it.
WHY NO LABEL FOR THE LEFTIST WALEED ALY?
Why does news.com.au apply a label to Henderson but not to Aly? "Waleed Aly has been branded “unhinged” after writing a New York Times article critical of Australia’s policies on immigration and terrorism. Right wing commentator and author Gerard Henderson accused Aly of spreading “fallacies” about Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s initiatives."
HOW THE LEFT HATES: BANNING MICHAEL DANBY'S ADS
How intolerant of debate is the Left? Morry Schwartz, publisher of the Leftist The Saturday Paper, says he refuses to take paid advertisements of Michael Danby, from the Right of the Labor Party, because they don't fit "the type and tenor of the ads in the paper, which are harder and harder to get".
AL GORE CONFIRMS: GLOBAL WARMING IS "SPIRITUAL ISSUE"
I've warned that global warming is a religion, with little to do with reason. Now warmist preacher Al Gore confirms it: "The way we live our lives is definitely connected to this. It is – it’s not a political issue. It is a moral and spiritual issue."
TIM FLANNERY VS 1 BILLION CHINESE
Professional alarmist Tim Flannery is again not challenged on the ABC: "China’s the place….where the air’s unbreathable, the water’s undrinkable and the food’s inedible – because of pollution." Gerard Henderson: "You wonder how over a billion Chinese get by every day without being able to eat, drink or even breathe."
SO SEXISM AND RACISM ARE GOOD, AFTER ALL
With the Left it's not the principle that counts but the side: "Brunswick cafe Handsome Her has ... a chalkboard [which] reads: 'House Rules, Rule #1: women have priority seating. Rule #2: men will be charged an 18% premium to reflect the gender pay gap." So sexism is actually good, as long as women are the oppressors. UPDATE: New rules for racism.
Bolt's continued attempt to try to tell us that reverse racism exists by pointing to single acts of individuals that don't represent the historic widespread patterns of systemic structural behaviours by which the majority of us have lived. Yes women have achieved some equal rights in what was once and still largely is a male dominated society. Yes some Aborigines have improved their status in what has been and still largely is a racist society. What is amazing is Bolt takes tokenism of individual occurrences and blows Gabrial's Trumpet as a warning to the loss of privilege of whites and men and declares it to sexism and racism in practise. No Bolt change isn't sexism or racism it's exactly what it is Social Change something the Right wing of Australia resists in any form.
