it isnt crap its been running 11 years.. get over yourself...you are not paid to watch anything...

I didnt see too much noise from the unions over clives disgraceful behavior he actually emptied the Qld nichol coffers......ok yet to be proved! but who else?..

they havent hounded him out of business

for all we know he is paying them to be quiet he appears to have the means.

Too much conspiracy there, cods.. I doubt the Unions would not have at Clive at every opportunity. Unions don't 'hound' anyone out of business.... they protect and defend worker rights and conditions, and work on pay claims, and negotiate for payment for jobs under WorkChoices Lite...

Bad business people 'hound' themselves out of of business ... usually emptying the till first, and then vanishing like Alice's Cheshire cat.... and then re-appearing as someone else..

BTW - what's Slim Mehajer up to these days? Got another business running under a different name and still reaping the millions for not actually producing a thing and not paying his subbies?

https://www.9news.com.au/salim-mehajer

His fancy car in pieces on the road - insurance job?

sorry mate I was comparing $7.8 million with $70 million....

and guess who is still alive and well and doing god only knows what with MONEY that he owes his ex employees....... Roll Eyes

I dont and have never agreed with anyone not getting a fair wage and getting their full entitlements in this day and age its outrageous and I will fight for them thats for sure...

but I do see an anomaly in the treatment of these two cases......thats all I am saying..Palmer hasnt even been shamed ... he even tried to win a seat in Townsville.....no one else would dare show their face....

he hasnt been brought down and by the look of things he never will be..

where as george on the other hand mmmmmmmm

Quotes attributable to ACTU President Michele O’Neil:

“If anyone stole $7.8 million and got caught they would expect to spend a long time in prison, but when you’re an employer and you steal from your workers all you have to do is pay it back. This needs to change.

not a good look for George or anyone for that matter I agree...

but where are these union people when someon like Clive Palmer can rip off his employees to the tune of $70million... and then spend $80 million on trying to get into parliament?..

got an answer for that one crook?.

seems to me Clive is a million times worse than George yet havent heard a soul call for his neck! Angry

Cods ... the Union movement was heavily involved in publicly bagging out Clive Palmer over his treatment of QLD Nickel employees.

Palmer hid behind the technicalities of Corporate/Company Law to to avoid his obligations.

Columbaris was audited by Fair Work and found to be heavily underpaying his staff.

Good thing is Columbaris has been dropped from his role as judge on MASTER CHEF.

His 2 fellow judges are leaving as well ......

the irony in that is (according to this mornings news) that they are all leaving because of a pay dispute Grin

They want a pay increase & Ch10 said no.

fancy Columbaris wanting a pay rise ... the grub bastard. Angry

One crap TV show off the air.

Only about 300 more to go.

it isnt crap its been running 11 years.. get over yourself...you are not paid to watch anything...

I didnt see too much noise from the unions over clives disgraceful behavior he actually emptied the Qld nichol coffers......ok yet to be proved! but who else?..

they havent hounded him out of business

for all we know he is paying them to be quiet he appears to have the means.

So all you care about is the reality TV show Cods? Roll Eyes

You didn't read or ignored my post..... the Union movement was very vocal against Clive Palmer.

It didn't affect just QLD Nickel workers .... 30 Train Drivers in Townville were also made redundant. My Union was heavily involved in that outfall.

Palmer owed my company $27 million in freight charges.

Palmers case is not Columbariss' case.

both are asreholes.

I have to agree with Peccarhead on this

one dumb reality show gone ... 300 more to go

is that why so many Qld Nickel workers are still waiting for their money????....

ummmmmm.......yet they are after George....and yes a show only runs for 11 years because it is popular...

it doesnt matter what I think..

I am outraged about Palmers absolute hypocrisy spending $80 million on a lost cause in fact a cause he should never have been allowed to take part in imo.

have I seen anyone come down on him for that??????

not so far...

and there is no difference between the two at all..

workers didnt get their entitlements..

Popular doesn't = good.

Masterchef is crap TV.

Not as bad as The Living Room, but mighty close.

so you have watched both.. Roll Eyes

and therefore your opinion of those who take part is worthy..

i think i have got it!

Yes, I've watched both.

They are appalling shows.

There's nothing "real" about Masterchef.

You don't honestly believe that they do those challenges in 90 minutes, do you?

They're filmed over the course of one or two days, and then the best bits are edited together to make it look like it all happened in and hour and a half.

And the scripted talking to camera nonsense by the contestants - give me a break! Roll Eyes

cods, it's a highly edited, highly scripted show.

The 90 minute challenges are filmed over the course of the entire day.

When they talk to the camera, reflecting on what happened, it's all carefully scripted and edited.

Please tell me you understand this.

greg I get that part the benches all nicely wiped down....I get that but to say its filmed over a whole day I find exceptionally fraudulent and would have expected it to be exposed long before now...

if you have real evidence of this you should at least contact the news media.

It's not fraudulent - it's just a silly TV show - they can do whatever they want. It shouldn't upset anyone.

George Reeves didn't really fly in the Superman TV show you know.

The contestants on Masterchef often film for 12 hours a day.

Lots of editing, and lots of different takes.

Now, you won't believe this, but it's true so I'm going to tell you anyway.

I was having lunch in Rome a few years ago (2012 or 2013), and Masterchef was filming right out front of the restaurant I was eating at.

They were there all day.

Take after take after take.

I went back to the piazza later in the day, around 6pm, and they were just finishing filming.

And, more recently, they were filming at a restaurant right near my office in Perth.

They were there before the sun came up, and they were still filming after the sun went down.

But hey, if you like the show, that's great.

Settle, petal.

It's not fraud - it's TV (make believe).

Found this for you:

MasterChef behind the scenes secrets

"WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CLOCK STOPS?

"They keep on filming!

"While a challenge might only last 60 minutes, an average filming day is much longer.

"After the judges' taste-test and the verdict is delivered, contenders sometimes head home after spending 12 hours of their day filming."

Oh, and this is where I was having lunch when they were filming in Rome (I was in a restaurant to the left of them, and they set up tables and hotplates etc. in the middle of the piazza).

Absolutely.

In the restaurant near my office in Perth, they were there from sunup to sundown.

Same with Rome: 6am to 6pm.

It's all make believe, dear.

Scripted (to some degree) and heavily edited, like any other show.

Quotes attributable to ACTU President Michele O’Neil:

“If anyone stole $7.8 million and got caught they would expect to spend a long time in prison, but when you’re an employer and you steal from your workers all you have to do is pay it back. This needs to change.

not a good look for George or anyone for that matter I agree...

but where are these union people when someon like Clive Palmer can rip off his employees to the tune of $70million... and then spend $80 million on trying to get into parliament?..

got an answer for that one crook?.

seems to me Clive is a million times worse than George yet havent heard a soul call for his neck! Angry

Cods ... the Union movement was heavily involved in publicly bagging out Clive Palmer over his treatment of QLD Nickel employees.

Palmer hid behind the technicalities of Corporate/Company Law to to avoid his obligations.

Columbaris was audited by Fair Work and found to be heavily underpaying his staff.

Good thing is Columbaris has been dropped from his role as judge on MASTER CHEF.

His 2 fellow judges are leaving as well ......

the irony in that is (according to this mornings news) that they are all leaving because of a pay dispute Grin

They want a pay increase & Ch10 said no.

fancy Columbaris wanting a pay rise ... the grub bastard. Angry

One crap TV show off the air.

Only about 300 more to go.

it isnt crap its been running 11 years.. get over yourself...you are not paid to watch anything...

I didnt see too much noise from the unions over clives disgraceful behavior he actually emptied the Qld nichol coffers......ok yet to be proved! but who else?..

they havent hounded him out of business

for all we know he is paying them to be quiet he appears to have the means.

So all you care about is the reality TV show Cods? Roll Eyes

You didn't read or ignored my post..... the Union movement was very vocal against Clive Palmer.

It didn't affect just QLD Nickel workers .... 30 Train Drivers in Townville were also made redundant. My Union was heavily involved in that outfall.

Palmer owed my company $27 million in freight charges.

Palmers case is not Columbariss' case.

both are asreholes.

I have to agree with Peccarhead on this

one dumb reality show gone ... 300 more to go

is that why so many Qld Nickel workers are still waiting for their money????....

ummmmmm.......yet they are after George....and yes a show only runs for 11 years because it is popular...

it doesnt matter what I think..

I am outraged about Palmers absolute hypocrisy spending $80 million on a lost cause in fact a cause he should never have been allowed to take part in imo.

have I seen anyone come down on him for that??????

not so far...

and there is no difference between the two at all..

workers didnt get their entitlements..

Cods... Palmers election tilt wasn't a lost cause for him ..... it was all about him .... with his preferences going to the LNP .. the swing against Labor in QLD... and then Adani mine getting the go ahead he got exactly what he wanted ...

Clive has a big mining lease right near the Adani mine which is even bigger .....great chance that will now get the go ahead for his company Minerology .... and when that gets going the $80 million will be well spent.

Yes theft is theft .... but you keep ignoring that the Union movement has been very vocal in opposing everything Clive Palmer has done & represents.

The law application against Colombaris is no where near as complicated as company/corporate law which Palmer hides behind ....

he will get his. Angry
