People are already sick of their wingeing about losing two weeks work when many others in the economy have lost months and months and months of work. It wouldn't wear politically that they would get privileged extra financial support, especially when they have suffered the least, in fact suffered not at all in nsw up to this point. I don't know where you got your information from. Provide a link to it if you can.
You get a lot of variation in the construction industry.
If you are working on a big project and on a unionised work site then yes you have good pay and great conditions and benefits, and so you should. The Union is Strength.
But if you are working on a small non unionised site or for a dodgy builder or sub contractor then that's a different story.
Champ next time your power goes out don't call the sparky have a go at fixing it your self try not to kill yourself or burn your place down in the processQuote:

It'll be interesting to see how this unfolds as there's little to no evidence that the Melbourne BLM protest in June 2020 contributed to the case numbers but then it wasn't the Delta variant so that might make a difference.Quote:

If transmission could happen in the MCG Stadium in Melbourne, there is no reason why it won’t cause transmission in the CBD protests today. Likely a good proportion of the protesters are living in the city or city fringe, not good news for those brothers and girls living in the city areas. Haymarket has already been named as hotspot for increased testing and this protest will only add to the gravity of situation there. Let’s hope that none of the protesters is a positive case.
Difference was that at the BLM protests ppl wore masks. Protest today were by ppl who don’t give a f about others. Of course those aholes wouldn’t wear masks. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an outbreak and we’re gonna be stuck at home for another few months thanks to these idiots
I live in the city but did not see anything. I think the protests were in Victoria Park opposite Broadway shop, but not sure of that.Quote:

if they find who the provocators is will face hard penalty. I been staying home all day since lockdown and didnt go anywhere beyond my council area following the rules. Now these people destroys it all going back to square 1. rather than locking the LGA area why cant they lock all areas in sydney. just hyporicite! seeing people at bondi beach crowding each other, no mask and no distancing. Also no enforcement.Quote:

I put that down to naivete on the part of the authorities. I mean, these are people who will go to a mass protest during an outbreak in the middle of a pandemic. Do you seriously think that they will go and get tested for COVID?Quote:

I don't disagree with you but it would be very easy for the Govt to spike up the nastiness of protests to ensure there was some "infection fallout". They didn't do that after Melbourne which is a credit to the reporting authorities.Quote:
