'How are we going to escape?': Indonesian working holiday-makers say they were 'scammed'
  • notgold notgold 6d ago 100%

    Yeah it's disheartening to hear good people being hurt by dodgy employers. Need to document everything but where is the incentive for a working holiday maker to fight federal agencies. Especially after they have left the country.

    My own experience working in the nt was one of attempted exploitation but I knew my rights and wasn't going to be deported so I choose to fight back. Very different story for someone who's passport is of another nation.

    Half of Australia are migrant's or children of migrant and I believe that's what makes this country great. Let's hope this doesn't scare of future Australians from moving here.

    So shouldn't we attempt to stop it. Why rip off young people who just want to experience what life is like in the lucky country.

  • NASA powers down science instrument to conserve Voyager 2 power supply
  • notgold notgold 2w ago 100%

    Too cold for batteries but just for kicks; 2Ah(3x3.7V)=22.2watts. Voyagers RTG's left earth producing about 470watts so that powerbank with 3 x 18650's would equal about 3 minutes. Not sure what the usage is though so maybe longer, plus the RTG's power output fades over time so probably longer again.

    "Train operator SNCF's chief executive, Jean-Pierre Farandou, said the attackers had started fires in "conduits carrying multiple (fibre-optic) cables" that carried "safety information for drivers" or control the motors for points." Seems this attack is becoming more common place. Used to just be the occasional tractor or digger damaging fibre but now it's seems to be intentional. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-26/vic-teens-charged-over-politically-motivated-graffiti-josh-burns/104147956
