how does this differ from making up crap and then using your own ignorance as justification for telling lies?

Because it is such an obvious tactic to deflect away from the actual point of the citation - that it refutes your BS that "farmers are obeying the law".


So it's OK for you to lie about the majority of farmers breaking the law because you disagree with some more important point, which is apparently whether they are breaking the law?

When you accuse me of nitpicking, is this your way of saying I am right?


I am not lying, a sample is a sample, and I have no reason to believe it is not representative. No idea why you choose to quibble over this basic point


Because it goes to the heart of the matter. Basically, you assumed it was a random sample, for no reason whatsoever, other than your own ignorance and you inability to think about that the point of the "sampling" process was. I'll give you a hint, they were not conducting a scientific experiment.

That's true.
It's a whopping 50% of 'who' you know.
So get friendly.

Or perhaps it was because I actually read it?

From the report:

Quote:
The majority of employers involved in the Inquiry were selected randomly.  A smaller number of employers were selected on the basis of intelligence gathered from industry stakeholders, other government agencies and departments, media, community members and workplace participants. The FWO revisited noncompliant employers in subsequent seasons to assess compliance.
(page 4)

Do you have any more bullshit left to continue your deflection?

Or would you like to address the actual issue for once?

- Do you concede the report refutes your BS claim that farmers were complying with the law?

- Do you think this report vindicates the union's insistence on getting involved in this matter, and that it demonstrates that they were interested in something other than simply "wanting to kill non-union industries"?

Whats wrong FD, you've gone quiet.

You've been disproven plenty of times before - but that doesn't usually stop you rambling on nonsensically. Usually this is where you think up idiotic ad-homs about my religion to sustain your deflections.

Are you now claiming you weren't assuming?

Does it say how many of the randomly sampled employers broke the rules, and how?

Grasping much FD? What I "assumed" was that it is a reliable and robust report that accurately demonstrates widespread non-compliance of workplace law by employers in the fruit picking industry. I see nothing in it that indicates to me that this assumption is wrong. Do you? Oh thats right, you haven't read it.

Really FD, none of this makes a scrap of difference to the actual issue here - namely the fact that you were wrong to say "farmers are obeying the law" - and by extension your overall argument that the unions had no good reason to interfere - other than to try and kill non-Union industries. The fact is, the report undeniably shows widespread ripping off of workers by the fruit picking industry - across the nation - which gave the unions a very justifiable reason to get involved. That you cannot dispute - so you carry on with your usual irrelevant pedantry - but pedantry about a point that you haven't even got a clue about. You thought this report included faarking ship builders for christ's sake  Tongue - and then you try and grandstand about making assumptions. Missing, of courss, the irony that this whole thread has been one giant assumption exercise on your part -  "Assuming" that farmers are obeying the law - "assuming" that all unions want to do is kill non-union industries.

Oh .... and you obviously have no idea how people on the the land feel about "Do Drop Ins" knocking on the farm-gate evry day or other day.

In rural Tasmania, where I reside, popping into farmhouses in search of work can be a dangerous activity. Most opium poppy farmers here don’t take kindly to strangers wandering onto their property without invitation. Even the Jehovah’s Witnesses's have learnt that lesson.
As to searching for a fair wage for a decent days work around here forget it. Most of the farmers I’ve spoken to about casual labour are extremely racist . Recently one told me with a straight face. “Them chinks are grateful for every cent they can get their yellow hands on”
We need also to ask some pointed questions as to why so many young Australian students don’t seek farm work during the end of year holidays. After only one stint on a farm providing disgusting accommodation, appalling conditions( i:e tomato fields plagued with red back spiders - my experience) and third world wages why would they bother? In the end though I lay the blame at the feet of supermarkets who screw farmers margins so low they’re forced to exploit their labour force to survive.
Think about the glories of unrestricted capitalism next time you're hunting for cheap fruit and veg etc at Coles/Woolworths. The dairy industry is another appalling story.
