[Jxfwsf]

5,600 bucks of your Tax money accomplished me and 16 more people when I did a 12 month training in Geelong . This was provided by matchworks , we did stupid stuff like glue and paste , talk about media , watch movies , sit around talking among our selves it was like kinder all over

To make this fun i'll throw in a multiple choice answer:
A) I'm disgusted
B) I'm outraged
C) I'm not surprised

now to work out how i can pull $329.41176470588235294117647058824 per head and mash arts & crafts into a 1 day course.....

If it gave the people taking part something to do and they learnt how to color within the lines then the tax dollars were well spent.
Pretty sure less requirements are needed for general customer service jobs.

Wow...so much self pity in the last pages of posts.

Some of you really need to realise that only you are in charge of what happens in life, not the government, not a business.

If you do not like where your life is, do something about it ffs and stop whinging about how hard it all is.

High Court injunction blocks handover of 153 asylum seekers to Sri Lanka - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

apparently, old tone's turn back the boats is illegal under international law, which most of us already know, but it's now getting challenged in australia.

the Government's actions in returning the asylum seekers to their country of origin "raises a real risk of refoulement." Refoulement is an international law term that refers to the involuntarily return of refugees to their country of origin in cases where they may face severe human rights abuse or persecution.

returning the asylum seekers would breach Australia's obligations under international refugee and human rights law, including the 1951 Refugees Convention, 1948 Universal Declaration on Human Rights, and the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

looks like it could be challenged soon with all those refugees suing the government and all.

Suing the government, what a joke.

The High Court injunction says nothing of the sort. It simply prevents the repatriation of these people until the matter can be heard. It will be interesting weather Australia's courts even have jurisdiction as (presumably) it happens way out to sea not in Australian waters.

The Government said one of the Sinhalese might have had a case for seeking asylum but opted to be handed back to Sri Lanka after being told they would be sent to Manus Island or Nauru for offshore processing.

.

I think that about sums up these 'refugees'

Maybe using the ABC as a source of information says it all.

So you're saying the ABC is biased?

I'm pretty sure just about every PM we've had in the last 40 years has complained about bias from the ABC, regardless of what side of the spectrum they are from.
