Intentionally or "inentionally?"
*inentionally
Wish I had that confidence
This comment made my day ♡
Pretty sure that was inentional.
I'm a Sparky, worked in construction and mining. Thanks for the help in enlightening the public about the bull crap out there attacking workers and unions. Can pretty much guarantee in mining the big miners will cry "Skills shortage" at the first hint of a wage increase, despite minimal attempts to rectify said skills shortage in the way of training Australian workers, in particular apprenticeships.
My husband is a Stonemason. I work in the public sector. My main health concern is whether my over priced ergonomic chair does the job. His main health concern is the high likelihood of developing silicosis, an incurable, terminal lung disease that has killed 27 year olds and had already affected 1 in 5 stonemasons in QLD. We get paid the same.
Does the he wear a mask or is it too uncomfortable?
If the business he works for isn't wet cutting or forcing people to ware mask, I'd either call WorkSafe or quit, no job is worth silicosis.
I work in the same industry....yes we all wear masks but the dust is so fine so is literally everywhere...in your clothes, in your hair and in your eyes and ears...it then slowly enters your car and your house...even with a respirator it cannot be avoided...wet cutting is impractical on most jobs and can be more dangerous...messy as hell also...silicosis is not the only risk...all of our tools dangerous even though you tend to forget it...most stoneys have been at least nicked by a grinder at some point, sometimes worse...you'll have your share of white finger, tinnatis , carpel tunnel, tennis elbow etc...80% will carry some sort of back or neck injuries...the weights we deal with can be full on so there is the risk of being crushed...we work on our knees or at great heights on ropes, scaffold or cherry pickers...
You barely hear a sook out of these workers...whatever they're getting paid, they earn...and the people who complain about what they get paid have very, very soft hands...
@@desiolle2874 but I love that the justification for paying football players millions is because they only have a short working period.....we run a medical/physio practice. .....tradies bodies are far more damaged after 10 years! It costs them a lot of money to hold their bodies together to continue on right into retirement. Tough as old boots - the older ones are anyway. Not sure about these new pretty young ones...
I would encourage him to look for another occupation
I have no idea how Peter Hellier is considered a journalist. His role on that “panel” could be done by a toddler with an IPad
I far as I remember, the original idea of the show was to make the news funny and interesting. I actually enjoyed it back then, for a week or so, because the panel was just comedians talking crap. Then all the comedians left, but for whatever reason, Pete stayed.
@@teamkeithgaming4998 the reason is because all the comedians left...
Yeah I don't think even they pretend he's a journalist, just pretend he's a comedian
hey, don't insult the toddlers with iPads lol
He did one funny bit with Merrick and Rosso. Tears in Bevan. Then he started cradling them corporate nuts
Thanks, Jordan. I've been a construction worker for 20 years and I'm sick of being told union labour is bad and greedy. Like we shouldn't get whatever we can bargain for, because of poor picked on employers.
From what I've seen of the construction industry - yes there are issues with the CFMEU however - it's an equal response to the big construction companies and their behaviour.
They also forget that most unionists these days are women in "caring professions" teaching, childcare, nursing....
The boss never gave us a thing without a fight.
Watching the Project is like being spoon-fed a plate of vomit. And yet Aly gets a big pat on the head and a tummy rub. And Wilkinson...sheesh.
Q. What do yo call a joke that isnt funny?
A. The Project
"That joke you made, that was absolutely The Project"
They really are such hypocrites. "IT'S NOT OK FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE GOOD SALARIES... unless it's mine"
@Deanoss Last They actually pay for their own rdo. It comes out of each week wage, 4 hour per week.. overpaid or you underpaid ?
That get paid to spout their masters ideology. It's called brainwashing.
Most people think like this
The irony of useless TV "personalities" whining about tradies being overpaid as they collect their $2m salary for talking on TV a couple hours per day. They're not funny or intelligent, what skills do they even have to offer? I'd rather listen to drunk dudes at the pub talking about news, it would be both more funny and insightful
@Deanoss Last - Someone that couldn't get onto a union site
@@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan grossly overpaid, go slow tactic using con artists are the cmfeu.
Just go visit a lawyer they'll charge you 30 grand just for being a glorified salesman.
At least with a trade you can justify why you charge what you charge
@Deanoss Last Good work; hate your peers for their higher wages and good conditions. You are following the liberal party propaganda perfectly. Next, you need to shit on some unemployed people for getting unemployment benefits. And finally don't forget to lodge your "I hate medicare what did it ever do for me" form before your next underpaid, underfunded no protections residential construction gig.
Come on mate, have more respect for yourself. You’re worth it.
The project sucks here in nz too. They get 'comedians' to tell the news and it ends up neither funny nor informing.
yah, i hate it when 'comedians' educate me.. shit. wait haha
CrestHH she is terrible
Isaac Butterfield, a real comedian, has a whole video about The Project New Zealand, which he appeared on and they were just hostile towards him for something stupid... I can’t remember
They used to (I think they still do actually) film it next to where I went to high school and they were always offering free spots in the studio audience cause they could never fill it up.
As an Australian of Arab ethnic background, I must admit that when I first learned about Waleed I was quite excited and in full support of him. In the following years after his rise to prominence in Aussie media I have grown despise and hate him.
The project and Australian 'prime time' 'news' programmes in general are just an annoying culture of self congratulating twats who love hearing the sound of their own voices.
Instead of using his platform to help change the perception of minorities and Muslims in Australian media, Waleed has seemingly done the opposite while trying to promote himself.
I have to say tho, I have met a lot of people who hate him for the wrong reasons.
You do realise that the project is a light entertainment news program right it’s not a full blown news show
You were "excited" and "in full support" of him, solely because he is a muslim of arab decent, yet are then upset because others don't like him because, he's a muslim of arab decent.
Think about that for a moment, you and the "others", you mention, made decisions, based solely on race and religion.
Maybe this line will help, "content of their character".
@khalid Completely agree with you mate. Some people hate him for racist reasons while others because they're sick of him being so bias to his own political agenda and acting like those who don't see his view are thought criminals. I actually like him because I like hearing intellectual opinions through well articulate people and yet even I cringe at how obvious his virtue signalling can be. People forget we are not always meant to agree with each other, that is how we fundamentally grow and formulate our own opinions. The issue with Waleed is that he talks as if he can not learn anything new and that everything he says is the 'real' truth to a 'correct' moral perspective. That is extremely dangerous and can lead to further division within identity politics. But f off to those that hate him just because he is Muslim. That is just blatant racism.
@@dazdoukas He spouts old school Nazism repackaged. That's all I see. They're all like that on the project. Black or white.
@@dazdoukas i havent watched the project or really followed waleed at all but i do listen to his podcast 'the Minefield' on occasion which i find refreshing because not only are he and his co host quick, considered and articulate but often disagree with one another as well as the experts they have on the show (without devolving into name calling etc).. to me this is a rare sight in what seems often an anti intellectual media landscape.. idk. i find it surprising that people have such a strong negative reaction to the guy
Am I the only one that finds it weird how they seem to think that it's ridiculous for a construction worker to be paid more than a lawyer? An apprenticeship goes for about four years (the same amount of time as a law degree) and tradies often work hellish hours and I know a few who don’t even have a 5 day work week but will keep it going for 6 to 7 days. They also have back breaking manual labour that will leave them with a long list of health problems making them unemployable past the age of 40 and have a higher risk of fatalities. So yeah why not get paid more than lawyers, this seems like a carry over from history where manual labour was seem as scummy peasant work. Surely if we could evolve to use indoor plumbing, we can evolve to pay people what their work is worth (also nurses are horrifically underpaid those guys don’t deserve the peanuts they’re given).
No your not... tradies deserve their pay, they work bloody hard.
I'm a lawyer and I agree with you completely. One reason I became a lawyer is I saw what the construction industry did to my dad and his mates. These think tank parasites will never face being maimed or killed at work and neither will their yuppy 'journalist' mates.
@@noonenowhere877 Tbf there are shitty employees everywhere. Nurses are the backbone of hospitals. I volunteered in a hospital for two years and I couldn't believe how intense it is to be a nurse. It's just physically demanding and to top it off patients can often treat you like shit just cause you're a nurse.
One thing about tradies and lawyer's tho is a lawyer can work alot longer than a tradie. If you're a tradie that has a physically demanding role than your fucked in the event of an injury or just getting older and being swapped out with someone younger and more physically capable. Then you can't find work since no one wants to hire an older tradie. At least if they get paid properly the money can be used to invest in options for when you can't do the same role anymore.
Not to mention lawyers charge you $120.00 per page of photocopy, in many cases quite literally. They charge for *everything*.
The story shouldn't have been about how must builders are being paid, it should have been asking why the unions for the police and health workers aren't doing more to get their members a fair deal.
Imagine going to uni for years with all these noble ideas of being a "truth teller" and "informing the public" and ending up working for the Project.
Peter Hellier went to uni?
I’d rather die.
Well no not that dumbarse Helliar. Both Waleed and Carrie Bickmore have degrees though.
@@anderschristopherson8885 and now she does daytime radio on hit FM. So glad to hear her voice for 2 hours straight every day while she screams about not winning a guessing game between her and Tommy fucking Little.
Does an arts degree actually count ? Haha free coffee for tradesman paid by the project ! Slimy lipped shit bags
Channel 10 as a whole is a waste of space.
There be truth in that :)
The solution to Waleed is simple.
Don't watch his show, I don't.
Logic,ain't it grand.Logic helped to create some incredible things.....This thought bubble is not in that category I'm afraid..
@@davidparris7167 You are entitled to your opinion. Waleed is a classic example and result of the immigration policies of Australia past and present. A result that I choose to ignore. In case you aren't aware I can still exercise my right to ignore fuckwits like Waleed.
@@kenmoore7195 And so say all of us.....
Havent watched ANY television for years
Tried it ONCE...too embarrassing.
I’ve worked in construction for a few years now. And I’ve never heard of a labourer making 151k a year.
they also used the base pay of a newly sworn Police Officer for the comparison.
It’s because we work 12 hour days 6 days a week, rather than 7.5 hours a day 5 days a week. Base pay goes from 70k to 120k+
If your self employed or a contractor then yeah you can earn around that.... you also need to be qualified but a labourer or even a qualified PAY G worker.... no.
burncityproductions Facts.
110k a year for a lawyer?! Is that averaging out the wages for all the law graduates including the ones that work in other fields?
Unfortunately Waleed unlikely to see this because he doesn’t use social media. Can’t handle the criticism.
It's because he prefers "genuine social interaction"....remember what that is? :)
Dickhead
he's a glass jawed blowhard....one of the most despicable denizens of lamestream media I have seen. tieing with lisa wilkinson
CZcams is social media?
@@windwaker0rules Wisdom spreading!
"glorified kid's news hosts". Accurate.
Absolutely. Never been a fan of Waleed Aly - overrated as hell. My younger cousins listen to him and believe what he says is gospel. It's tailored for those 'woke' left wing nuts.
@@ajayayyar2074 A rabid leftist with a big chip on his shoulder , nothing more
The project is almost as bad as a a current affair, it has become comical, im embarrassed for them.
The funny thing is it's meant to be comical from the start.
I've not watched it for yes, so over him and his pontificating! Seems I'm not the only one!
I think aca is quiet funny for 5 seconds I can't even see the name of that other b.s.
Hate it when they go after the tradies. These people sit in front of a camera and read a script someone else wrote. Your average tradie has many more skills than anyone on the project.
We need to share this vid and FJ to as many tradies as possible. Too often I've talked to fellow tradies and listened to them spew out like a parrot, the nonsense "the project", "Today show", everything Sky News etc. defecate to the public. They may work hard all day but at night sit in front of this shyte and relax. Fight the power friend!
Not to mention that tradies do ALL the SHIT jobs that TV presenters either won't or CAN NOT do... Let's not forget...who will they call when their toilet doesn't work!!! I think ALL tradies should be made aware about this TV post and when they get a call from one of these presenters, go tell them to FUCK OFF (or quote them a cost at 1000% increase) and see how long these presenters have a bad attitude about tradies. What are they going to do when their loo is broken and no one, and I mean no one will come to their aid to fix it. Maybe then they will eat some humble pie!!!
It's not just any tradies that they're after; it's those 'over-paid' union types. So let's just forget about all the blood, sweat and tears that unionists shed over the last century and a half to actually win the conditions that everybody has enjoyed now for many decades, but which are now in danger of being lost because too many grubs have been happy to take them without contributing to the cause.
@@johnball3634 And you know what those unions did for Australia? Hiked our wages and standard of living, and negotiated Australia right out of being able to manufacture here competitively.
Honestly, without our iron ore and coal deposits, Australia would be bankrupt.
@@evanroberts2771 What an ill-founded, ignorant and contemptuous version of history that is. Your ideas about Australian industrial relations are all cliches that ignore the fact that everywhere capitalism is given free reign, it exploits the poor to death - always has, always will. Collectivism was born of a determination not only to survive, but to prosper, which is what every human being wants to do, whether they're selling merchandise or their labour. If you want the folly and misery of an all-powerful, anti-union regime, there are plenty of them to demonstrate where that ends up (e.g. The Philippines).
As for coal and iron ore: we've allowed ourselves to be run by short-sighted, lazy, idiot heirs clinging to the notion of fast, easy money for too long (Clive Palmer and Gina Rinehart being prime examples), who've not only disregarded local ingenuity, but who have sold it off to foreign interests at the drop of a top hat. Compare that to Sweden, a country with a long heritage of strong unionism, intelligent trade, and progressive research and development - all achieved by a population that's well below half of our own. Oh, and for most of that time they maintained military neutrality, which is something a fawning country like ours could learn a ship-load from.
Yes, unions vastly improved our wages and standard of living, and why not? Unless you've been living in the desert under a rock, you've no doubt enjoyed many of the benefits unionists have won, but I wonder whether you've ever contributed a fuckin' iota of effort to the long and bitter campaigns that were fought to win those benefits?
thank you for sticking up for us tradies i can assure you most tradies dont earn anywhere near that much. im sick on office workers looking down on tradies all i can say is if its so easy and a licence to print money why dont you do it then?
@retsaM innavoiG honestly as a sparky (king of trades btw) the pay that we get vs the pay that the media suggests we get are quite different irl.
@@julespleeswoah859 It might be an average, i'm a sparky and my money shits on the average sparky but I'm also in a specialist field that requires 2-3x the training, greater level of danger and responsibility and I do 12 hour nights, days, incident response, maintenance, construction, the lot. I'm sure there are some over paid people but a lot fo the time they don't consider what we do to get that money.
Construction workers are overpaid? WTF, over 13 years as plumber I have not seen a wage rise. Post GFC and Corona (potentially years of austerity under LNP) I doubt there will be a wage rise in the future. Yet the cost of ultilities, food, fuel etc continues to rise.
Seems some of these business minds don't know how a business runs. Tradespersons have to pay for tools, licences and vehicle wear and tear. What a tradie might have to charge isn't their take home pay. Also many would be working from project to project (aka casual).
Im a painter and have never seen or heard of a laborer getting 150k per year, a trade painter who isnt running their own contracting biz and just subbing is lucky to see 30-45 an hour. I have no idea were they got their figures from. These tv personalities are just over glorified court jesters and they make a mint, whilst we build essential homes and inferstructure.
"you can't walk down Melbourne CBD without being spanked by a crane" should be the new slogan for Melbourne tourism
I love how they tell you what the money value being spent on one thing could be used to fund elsewhere - because even if that is true they have no actual intention of using it to fund more schools, hospitals, train services etc etc. They just tell you they COULD do it, and really on your stupidity to assume that means they will do it. In reality if they do 'save' that money it will just go to increasing bureaucrats paychecks.
That Gideon chap oozes I was in the young liberals at Uni from every pore. Also his hair, that too.
That, and he just 'oozes' full stop.
Plumber here running my own business for 2 years. The amount of people assuming I shit out cash and pull it out of drains is nuts. People trying to haggle is embarrassing. My overheads is nuts and not to mention took me 7 years to study sit exams in my own time while working full time to become licensed. We have the strictest regulations in the world and in Vic it’s even stricter yet people think they can watch a couple of CZcams tutorials park in the Bunnings trade section on a Sunday and that’s all it takes!?
I still pay my union fees even though I don’t work under someone because strong unions are the only thing who are on your level fighting tooth and nail for your rights and they are the only thing that can stand up to big corps.
The amount of events that’s happened in Australia that the unions have influenced has what’s made this country so lucky but if they hadn’t we be more fucked than America.
My cousin is a tiler that had to let his apprentice go because c#nts wouldn't pay their bill.
was under the impression that Unions own or are owned by some of these corps. It's really just corp turf wars for a cut of the pie isn't it? That's why they lock in pay grades/ceilings regardless of skill level (good workers can't earn more even if they're worth it/very good compared to dead weights).
Yes. but you guys do alright . I know electricians from high school and they own about 3 or 4 houses now in good areas. You get the good times and the bad times. Plumbers are always in demand. no need to whinge as you are fortunate enough to have a trade.
40 years ago I could have easily written the same sentiments,but you forgot to mention that it is compulsory to belong to a union if you work on a government project.I learnt the hard way about unions...they tell you to get fucked if you ask for their help....they are a bunch of thugs and stand over criminals.
@@davidparris7167 exactly. I was in a union for about 6 years . then I got into some trouble at work . I went and asked them to help me ... no way .they said , without giving me a proper reason. Since that day I hate unions. Remember the BLF . just a bunch of thugs , holding everyone to ransom . The ALP loves unions .
We need to start respecting and honouring the men of this country that work hard.

I love you
Ive worked as a tradesman/technician for 2 decades and I will acknowledge there are 2 tiers, labourers and technician/craftsmen. This is a mindset as much as a qualification. Ive Met thousands of customers. Literally. it feels like “white collar” workers genuinely feel they are better than the trades I believe this is due to the fact that they’ve bought into the idea that a trade is something only dropouts or ppl who couldn’t make it in uni do. Despite a stupidly high Hex debt and working a 9-5 (though most are there longer) trapped in cubicles, most toiling away on fluff of no real value, they still look on trades as lesser…. Until they actually need something done. Something repaired, or created. Something tangible. Something that only a skilled and competent person could manage without endangering themselves and everyone around them. It takes 4 years to get a trade. But, as anyone who’s witnessed the difference between an 4th yr apprentice and a skilled old tradesman, it takes years of experience to become competent. Working in the hot and the cold. Rain or shine. Their hands covered calluses and scars from years of actually doing things. If trades are getting too expensive is because of 2 facts;
-Our OH&S/WHS are the most restrictive. a pain, but also acknowledgment of how dangerous our work can be.
-all of the above. For 2 generations now, uni/college has been pushed as the better option. Its what everyone has aspired to achieve, a college degree or better. Now we don’t have enough skilled trades left. Demand goes up, prices do to. Acknowledgment of the worth of these skills. You can buy most items from overseas for cheap, and that’s skewed our perception of value. you still Need to pay a person, who has dedicated their working lives to become skilled in the very thing that we all need. Why should they not get the same as everyone else.
Most tradesman can barely afford to live in the city that so desperately needs their services. No wonder we are a dying off. Most trades earn $70-100k if their taking home more, there working 7 days a week, and probably 80hrs. And i don’t mean sending a few late emails. They deserve it!
Love how they slam builders/construction labourers for earning too much -- yet in the same breath -- say "think of all the schools and hospitals we could build with that money!"
Palm, meet face.
Aaron they may be school dumb but they are very builder smart. Without tradies there is no functioning country
@Aaron fucking Aaron
@@insolent_child9824 yeah Aaron

Waleed. Not funny enough to be a comedian. Not smart enough to be a journo.
Facts 🤣🤣🤣

Even calling him a journo is a but of a stretch
The same could be said of Peter Hellier.
Claims to be an academic but I wonder if any student has ever been in a tutorial with him?
I can imagine waleed trying to rebuild a engine and powershift transmission, and the penny dropping why tradesmen get paid what we do.
Socialism for the rich rugged individualism for every one else that about sums up the IPA
Why is everyone a staunch defender of FREEDOM® until someone uses freedom to form a union and take advantage of supply and demand to increase value? Face facts, the invisible hand of the market allowed unions. Deal with it.
Well said mate.
It's almost as if the control workers have over whether they turn up to work or not is a kind of ....power.... and that capitalism creates the conditions and necessity for use of that power to organize people.
Unions aren't driving supply and demand, building companies are, Unions are just making sure that the workers doing the work get a fair cut of the profits. To be honest, charging "what people are willing to pay" is getting out of hand, but that is NOT the unions fault, it is the companies that decide the prices of the products.
Because they only support freedom for multinational corporations, not freedom for working people.
@@stevious7278 Bar Associations and Medical Associations are 'professional associations,' which aren't anything like trade unions but are moreso like craft guilds in that they set standards for professions.
There are in fact trade unions for doctors - at least here in NZ - which are separated based on field and so on. I don't think lawyers have ever formed a trade union, but they definitely should.
I just love the little niche the project has carved out hated by both the left and right really cool
Anyone else notice that Jordan’s pronunciation of Waleed Aly sounds like “Wahlee Dahlee”?
That is common when a vowel follows a consonant
Brilliant work !!! you just made me feel so much better that I stopped watching television in 1999 when my portable TV blew up. I reckon if you put an illustrative overlay on top of The Project's visual feed, it would be something The Simpsons would be proud of.

Spot-on!
Using any iteration of the word "liberal" to describe these corporate suck-jobs is a misnomer of the most offensive kind. It's such a slimy use of the word, banking on it's progressive connotations but applying it in the most dystopian way possible. "We want to let corporations do whatever the fuck they want" is "liberal" like burning witches at the stake is "religious freedom". Fuck the Liberal party, they don't deserve their name.
@@noonenowhere877 Connotations of the word, not the party. That's the entire point of my comment, the party name is a misnomer. They're right wing corporate whores, which isn't what most people think of when presented with the word "liberal"
Neoliberalism and ultra-progressive politics are two sides of the same coin.
Liberalism is a deregulation movement, it was progressive in the 1800s
"I have this sudden urge to vote liberal, and i don't know why" killed me. I laughed so hard i almost filed an ipa report in my pants.

@ThatBadGuy Personally I prefer Brain Shelter, and Winter Lantern
I'm 51 and I'm one of those guys working with a tower crane and hanging off the side of 80 storey buildings often in gale force winds trying to keep things under control and not kill or maim anyone.

Yeah you tell em Jordies. Union Boss. *Union blokes with arms crossed in background*
And your point being... ?
I don't usually comment but even with the humour making light of things this is actually inspiring piece of journalism 10/10 very impressive and relevant.

jordies: start using archive.org links for legacy media site that have ads like news.com.au, don't give murdoch rags more clicks!
Just get ad block lmao
yilli_ Adblock or not, you’re still driving engagement and traffic which are metrics a lot of news sites use to market to sponsors
@@noonenowhere877 just get two ad blocks lmao

We live in strange times, when our legacy institutions are economically far-right (neoliberal) and culturally far-left (intersectional). The latter is to make us forget the former, and bread & circuses keep us too distracted to make much of a fuss.
In a tactical sense, it's perfect propaganda. Sad that majority of the population still watch television, mostly older people.
I don't know what institutions you're talking about but "intersectionality" is not a far-left thing, in fact the concept itself really isn't limited to anywhere on the political spectrum. Though the right might not call it "intersectionality", you see it in play when (for example) hardcore conservative Christians and atheist alt-righters band together to oppose "leftism".
Yeah, originally I guess intersectionality came from the left, but the form you see in any mainstream institution is generally pretty bastardised from the original intention of how the concept was supposed to be used. Notoriously absent is class/wealth, for one. It was never meant to be used like "oh we can't criticise this person because of their race", it was meant to bring oppressed groups together in solidarity while respecting the difference in their experiences in order to fight against the overarching system responsible for perpetuating this oppression.
I know that sounds like a lot of wank, but think of it kind of like individual unions for brickies, concretors, carpenters, etc. vs a big overarching union like the CFMEU. Bosses (representing "the system") would have an interest in keeping the unions as small as possible so they would play workers off one another, like "Bad idea to let brickies into your concretors union, you're way more skilled and anyone can do their job". Intersectionality is the workers realising they have way more in common and a lot to gain by coming together to form a much bigger union, while also realising that different jobs are obviously going to require different kinds of negotiations.
@@ennisskalski719 , I agree with you. Politically, I consider myself to be most aligned with 'traditional leftism', and if classicism isn't the main feature of a movement then I don't really consider it to be left.
I guess I was just using it as short-hand b/c the people that consciously label themselves intersectional ('the future is intersectional', intersectional feminism...) and their 'foes' both tend to associate it with the far-left nowadays, despite it having little if anything to do with traditional left-wing politics.
(Our legacy institutions would include (non-Murdoch!) traditional media, the civil service, and universities.)
perfect summary and never said enough
remember once we had a Media that would investigate and report, sadly they all in it together now.
Props to the editor; who ever you are, you are improving.
I think i'd rather sleep in a park and have sand kicked in my face then watch the project
Same.
Did anyone else notice they spelled intentionally wrong..?
"inentionally" 😂
I'm glad someone else noticed ahaha I thought I was seeing things
Brilliant
I think you might have went a little bit, just a tad, off topic here... I want more ripping into Waleed. I demand another full video of you ripping into Waleed. I don't even know who that Gideon guy is, sounds like a tool... but WALEED
8:40 - What does "inentionally" mean?
My mum saw the notification for this video and said "oh no, is this guy having a go at Waleed?"
And then you say "you bet your ass he is!"
I hope you said "sit down and watch"
Is your mum stupid too?

im a carpenter on highrise buildings in melbourne. its terrifying you have strict plans to follow, you cant touch this certain wall with a drill or youll die because its energised. if you forget which wall it is and ask which wall it is you get yelled at for wasting time but you have to ask and trying to remember certain things all while getting abused by the clients management for not being faster. its really difficult being on these tier 1 building sites people do die and its due to stress and safety being overlooked in the sake of profit and saving time. id say i get paid enough but we never get time to spend it on our rdos we sleep in and try to spend it with loved ones your rdo becomes your sunday because they want you to work 6 days a week to get things done you have to be up super early everyday go to bed early to try an get some rest but realisticly this doesnt happen which makes fatigue a real killer. life becomes really stressfull you have outbursts at your friends and family because you have to be tip top onsite once you leave the site youre a shell of who you are. the union knows this and all they can do is increase the pay rate which is great on paper but it does nothing to combat the fear of fatigue as someone fixes a safety rail and its just a little loose that rail falls 100 metres lands next to you and you turn white as a ghost as your life flashes before eyes. my friend died with 3 other people in a whole on a non union site where the crane was carrying a load of concrete the load wasnt secured properly because they werent unionised craneies and were under the pump the site was then shutdown for a month. we dont get paid enough to go to work knowing we can die at any moment. i just want to be safe safety is paramount on union sites but its overlooked at the sake of keeping management happy because everything needs to be done yesterday

Nice one, jordies. Waleed Aly is an absolute menace.
Thanks for your thorough research and fun delivery Jordie.
First video of yours I've ever seen, instantly subscribed. Awesome content.
My family was driving in the Melbourne CBD a couple of years ago, and Waleed Aly walked out onto the road without looking and dad almost ran him over
Damn it
Mission failed, we'll get em next time
Yasmin Prosser LoL
"Bloody hell dad, look where you're driving. You missed him!"
Yasmin Prosser “almost” isn’t good enough. Tell him to go back and have another go!
Still waiting for The Projects story on overpaid CEO's, Board members and Television presenters

Love it.
Also, nurses and teachers also highly unionised but no mention of that. CFMEU aren't the only union around.
Yeah but the public sector unions are basically useless because they have zero power when the Libs are in and kowtow to Labour when they are in.
Construction jobs are physically taxing and are dangerous, they deserve compensation. Also what is 'too high', bargaining is a mechanism of the market. Also teachers have worked harder than any of those at the IPA who are on wingnut welfare. Teachers are expected to do lots of unpaid work (planning, reports, resources) and many go above and beyond often buying resources with their own money. Teachers also cop abuse, teachers also have to deal with psycho parents.
My mother who is a special education teacher, often gets praise from parents because of the progress the kids make (in terms of their behaviours and abilities).
God it pisses me off when overpaid Lib mouth pieces undervalue teachers, it is so insulting.
If you wanna improve NSW schools, get rid of "local schools, local decisions" or as I call it "local schools, local corruption". Principles can run their school like little fiefdoms and bully teachers who dissent until they transfer. For example my mother could ask for another teachers aid, but the one she would be given is the deputies daughter and she is hopeless ( telling the deputy her daughter is no good probably won't go down well). The executives ( a whole bunch of APs who do fuck all, not on class in a small school) are all buddy buddy with the principal. The principal literally scolds teachers for talking among themselves about work (normal behaviour) - she is pretty much stalin.
She allocates funding to people she likes, and cries poor when my mother wants funding for the tiniest things despite the school receiving more funding intended for supporting the special needs students .
It is also very fucking hard to get a permanent position - unless you know some one.
The federation supports getting rid of local schools local decisions but the NSW dept of ed sticks with it.
When someone mentions the Institute of Public Affairs I can hear the announcer from Super Friends saying "Meanwhile at the Legion of Doom!".
"we are leftists, we love gays and trans people but we really hate unions and we repeat every right wing nonsense on the economy" is quite possibly the worst kind of person.
Best laugh I've had for a damn long-lockdown time. Cheers! p.s. more T-shirt designs please!
Peter Helliers job: "Haha look at this video that made the rounds 3 months ago!"
Love it slamming the people who built your house. Bit rich aye
I like how they lead in with the this money COULD go to X... but we know it's likely only going to "administration costs" and a new shelf in a local school of second hand books.
Glad I found a news site for a news site.
Waleed Aly: just plain awful. The title is the truest thing ever
"He just is."

He is.
The project is the closest thing Australia has to Fox & Friends.
I would have thought that was Sky News?
Thats kind of a silly comparison

New sub, nice to see an Australian on this platform
Looking at the comparison between wages that they show, all i'm gonna say is this......
We are all being underpaid. Especially teachers, nurses and police officers.
Especially when the average is supposedly 80-90k.

The issue of Waleed is what the left and right can unite on.
Hes got those Hillary Clinton vibes
Jesus man they might both think he's a fuc boi but the reasoning in the conclusion is polar fucking opposite. Rightwing = hate the muslim Leftwing= he's a hypocrite. Not really the same thing.
@@brantmckenna4013 well nothing wrong with hating on religion, ain't that right leftwing?
@@bg5469 you say that and yet your mob constantly preaches against religions and religious beliefs
Yet when it comes to Muslims it's racism?
Now you may not be one of those people who will do that, heck you might be an individual that has a rational understanding of being fair to all religions and non religious people
But this isnt directed at you, this is directed at the loud goober heads who are a bunch of hypocrites
And yes this logic applies in reverse for over issues also but I'm talking about this one particular thing that always seems to be people of the left
Muslim is someone who believes in the Islamic faith, they could be chinese, they could be Arab, they could be Australian...thats the difference
And that's the point all of this oh the right just doesn't like Muslims so there for racism, it's crap and it's hypocritical, it's putting two and two together but that other two is actually a 3
