changing behaviours takes time though, and usually does involve a big stick of some kind...

and yet when the government uses the big stick on unruly KO tenants or long term bludger unemployed that a bad thing according to the left
RE: Govt guts worksafe - Oh_hunnihunni - 04-06-2025
I don't think that is true actually. I doubt anyone with half an ounce of common sense wants unruly KO tenants or long term bludger unemployed to be permitted to just sail on regardless.
Or companies to be allowed to put employees in danger in order to maximise profit.

obviously when dealing with individuals, often in very problematics circumstances, you need to be a little more understanding of their circumstances. Whereas some businesses find it all too easy to let the all important profit motive rule their decision making...
Ultimately each case is unique though.

True. Any more than anyone with half an ounce of common sense wants people making blatant & untrue comments about KO tenants & people on benefits on a regular basis...

Well, as someone with familiarity with social housing and the very wide variety of tenants therein, I have to say there are the occasional unruly ones. Who need housing somewhere else.
Preferably a nice desert island somewhere far far away.
