The Federal Government's New Workplace Relations Reform

Howard's new Industrial Relations laws . . .

Dress Code

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days

We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

Bereavement Leave

This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to havenon-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases where employeeinvolvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the lateafternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hourand subsequently leave one hour early.

Toilet Use

Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now strictthree-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, analarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall doorwill open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offence, yourpicture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "ChronicOffenders category". Anyone caught smiling in the picture will besanctioned under the company's mental health policy.

Lunch Break

Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, sothat they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunchto get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Chubby peopleget 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink aSlim-Fast.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide apositive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments,concerns, complaints, frustration's, irritations, aggravations,insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternationand input should be directed elsewhere.

A Day At the Goodward Races

When I was down at Surrey, England with my best friend Janine, I was taken to the final race day of the season at the Goodward Races. A fantastic day was had by all, and the Goodward Track would have to be one of the most scenic racecourses I have ever seen.
















This cute little fella decided to take a dump just as I lined up the shot of the man on the fancy horse.







Given the recent legislation changes to hunting with dogs, there was a "protest" of sorts by the local hunters at the racetrack. The country folk are quite upset at the new laws, because they now have all of these cute little hunting dogs which cant really survive unless they are in packs (hence the name "pack hounds"). I dont know what is sadder - the fact that a lot of these dogs now have to be destroyed, or the fact that if they left these dogs to hunt, they brutally tear apart foxes, leaving them for dead. Quite a tough one.

More Pictures of Majestic Venice

I know I have probably all bored you with my photos from Venice, but here are some more. I took over 100 photos of the historic city of canals and yet, I still feel like there are so more photos to be taken in my lifetime. This is my favourite place in the world. Words and photos can never do this place justice....

Florence

I wasnt very complimentary of Florence in my writings. It didnt warm my heart like a lot of other places in Europe. And sadly, my photos reflected that. The photos seem to have come out dull, and all in black and white. It seemed as though I didnt consider Florence a colourful place at all. Rather, a cold, harsh and rough place. See for yourself....

Cinque Terre Part I

I have had a request by a few people (Shell and Clarisa) to put some more photos up of Europe. I know, I know, I seemed to have moved on from my holiday and concentrated on photographing other things. So, the the first set of photos are of the Cinque Terre. I had never been the Cinque Terre before but had heard that it was definately one of the highlights of my trip to Italy. I had pasted an extract about the Cinque Terre which describes it:

Eighteen kilometers of sheer rocky coastline in northern Italy, terraced hills and vineyards sloping steeply down to the sea. Five little villages are built into the rocks between the beach and the hills. You can hike, swim, drink red wine, and watch blazing Mediterranean sunsets away from the tourist throngs in the Italian cities and the French Riviera. Centuries old footpaths and mule tracks wind about 500 to 1,000 feet above the sea, leading through olive groves and vineyards, orchards and chestnut woods.Each village has its own character, they are a few minutes apart by train.There are almost no cars as the villages are not easily accessible by road, but the main railway between Rome and Paris runs along the coast, mainly in tunnels.

http://homepage.sunrise.ch/homepage/avong/cinque_terre/

The following photos were taken in Vernazza, the fourth of the five villages. It is one of the most popular of the five, because it has easy access for large yachts and ferries. While it is also one of the prettiest, but because it is so popular for big boats, large numbers of people visit it daily and it can get crowded.

Paris - The City of Romance

Pictures from the Lourve, Paris.

Cinque Terre Part II

This is Riomaggiore, which will go down as one of my favourite places in the world so far. It not only has spectacular views of the Medditeranian, but it also has a serenity about it that the other Cinque Terre Villages do not have. Riomaggiore cant really be accessed easily by large boat so people tend to go to Vernazza and Monterosso instead.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

As I always say, I am not a fan of promoting left-wing causes on my blog, or announcing my policitical views because people generally dont want to constantly hear that kind of thing. After all, there are enough people in this world that sit and beat the left wing drum yet are unwilling to get out there and do anything about it. But here is a cause that touches my heart. Having a close relationship with my mum, sister and of course now by baby neice, I cant imagine the thought of anyone wanting to hurt them. So, if you get a chance to buy a ribbon, do it!


The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women - also known as White Ribbon Day - is marked on 25 November each year and is an opportunity for governments, businesses and community groups to focus on a problem that affects many people in Australia and throughout the world.

Violent crimes against women and girls - like domestic violence, sexual assault and people trafficking - are committed every day. It affects everyone in the community, and the White Ribbon Campaign provides a time for us to pay particular attention to this very important issue.
About the day

On 17 December 1999 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution designating 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (IDEVAW). This resolution was supported by Australia, and since this date the Australian Government has marked the event with a range of community activities alongside the rest of the international community.

The White Ribbon Campaign now run in conjunction with IDEVAW is designed to encourage governments, businesses and community groups all over the world to support activities to raise public awareness of violence against women. The White Ribbon Campaign specifically focuses on the role of men and boys.

The White Ribbon Campaign is the largest effort in the world of men working to end men's violence against women, and wearing a white ribbon is seen as a personal pledge never to commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women.

Violent crimes committed against women and girls - like domestic violence, sexual assault and people trafficking - continue to be pervasive in Australia and around the world. Violence against women and girls affects everyone in the community. Men's lives are personally affected if their girlfriends, wives, daughters, mothers, grandmothers or sisters experience violence or the threat of violence.

Men and boys have a crucial role in helping reduce violence in the lives of women. Harmful attitudes and beliefs in the community are also a very important part of the problem, and tackling these will assist in building a community that is safer for women and girls.

A history of the day

The United Nations

On 17 December 1999 the United Nations adopted Resolution 54/134 on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
Resolution 54/134 designated 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. It calls on governments; relevant bodies, funds and programmes of the United Nations system; other international organisations and non-governmental organisations to organise on that day activities designed to raise public awareness of the problem of violence against women.

The Resolution noted that endemic violence against women was impeding women's opportunities to achieve legal, social, political and economic equality in society. The term "violence against women" refers to acts capable of causing physical, sexual or psychological harm, whether in public or the private life of women.

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is also linked to the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence, which arose from the Global Campaign for Women's Human Rights. In June 1991, a forum involving 23 women from 20 countries called for this campaign in an effort to highlight the connections between women, violence, and human rights from 25 November to 10 December. The time period encompasses four significant dates: 25 November, IDEVAW; 1 December, World AIDS Day; 6 December, the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, when 14 women engineering students were gunned down for being feminists; and 10 December, Human Rights Day.

The Mirabal Sisters

Prior to the United Nations Resolution, 25 November was observed in Latin America and a number of other countries around the world as "International Day Against Violence Against Women". With no standard title, it was also referred to as "No Violence Against Women Day" and the "Day to End Violence Against Women".

It was first declared by the first Feminist Encuentro for Latin America and the Caribbean held in Bogota, Colombia in 1981. At that Encuentro women systematically denounced gender violence from domestic battery, to rape and sexual harassment, to state violence including torture and abuses of women political prisoners.

The date was chosen to commemorate the lives of three sisters from the Dominican Republic (Patria, Minerva, and Maria Teresa Mirabal) who were violently assassinated in 1960 during the Trujillo dictatorship. Referred to as the "Inolvidables Mariposas" (Unforgettable Butterflies), both the memory of the sisters and the day itself stand as global recognition of gender violence and the victimisation of women.

The White Ribbon Campaign

White Ribbon Day is held internationally in conjunction with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The White Ribbon Campaign is the largest effort in the world of men working to end men's violence against women, and wearing a white ribbon is seen as a personal pledge never to commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women.
In Australia this year, the Department of Family and Community Services (FaCS) will support White Ribbon Day by distributing White Ribbons to all FaCS staff.

Amnesty international first launched the White Ribbon Campaign nationally on 25 November 2000.

Internationally, the aim of the White Ribbon Campaign is to include men and boys in the effort to end gender-based violence. Women and girls are especially vulnerable to particular types of violence such as incest, rape, domestic violence, people trafficking, female genital mutilation and so-called 'honour crimes'.

Baby Charlotte - Day Four

I promised myself that I wouldnt be one of those people that just load up their blogs with baby pictures, but I cant help it! She is just so cute. And every position she lies just seems that little bit cuter than the last one. She comes home probably tomorrow, where I suppose the real hard work for my sister and Al will begin.

Family Portrait Pt 2

THE STALK HAS ARRIVED!!!!!

I am so sorry that I cannot bring some photos to you straight away. Of course, plenty of them were taken, but the connection from my camera to the computer was accidently left at Annie's house, and seeing Alec is back and home sleeping soundly, I cant go over and get it.

Well, just like the entire pregnancy was, the birth was full of nervous times. When Annie was induced at 10am, and was getting contractions 2 minutes apart at 11am, we thought that little Bubba would be out by noon. However, 2 pm rolled on and little Bubba wasnt going anywhere. 3pm, 4pm, 5pm rolled on, Annie had recieved an Epidural but was only dialated 6cm.

Kel (Annie's best mate) and I had sat in the waiting room from 11am til 6pm, when Mum came out and told us that it would be at least midnight until she would arrive, so that it would be best that we went home and had dinner and then waited for a call to say the Bubba was on her way. Reluctantly, we gathered up our stuff and begun driving home.

I had just gotten to Kel's house, when my mobile phone rung. It was mum, very upset, telling me that Annie was being rushed in for an emergency caesarian section, because the baby was in trouble. Kel and I jumped back into the car and screamed back up to the hospital. I have never driven so fast in my life. Kel is a policewoman, so I wasnt so concerned about being pulled over by the police. If anything, I was contemplating asking for a police escort!!!!

I met Mum up at the front of the hospital. By that time, she was in tears. Apparently the baby's heart rate was frighteningly erratic, going from max high rate, to low heart rate. Obviously, she wanted to come out, but couldnt find out exactly how it was going to happen.

In my mind, I kept on saying "oh no, not again, not again". I tried to calm Mum and Kel down, telling her that the doctors were taking her in for a c-section for a reason, so that they could make sure that she was okay, rather than leave her and risk her safety. Its amazing that while everyone was getting very upset, I remained quite calm. It was quite similar to when Annie was going through difficulties with Adam. I wanted to be the strong one, while everyone around me fell apart.

We went back up to the birthing unit but by that time, Annie had already been rushed into the operating theatres. I nearly fell apart when I saw them preparing the special humidi-crib, because I wasnt wanting anything to happen. Mum, Kel and I rushed down into the operating theatres, into intensive care. I didnt like that area, because there were a lot of people in tears, or looking distressed. It was upsetting.

Everytime the theatre doors would open, Mum, Kel and I would race up and see what was going on. Each nurse would come out and say "are you here for the baby?" and we would nod eagerly. The nurse would usually just smile and say "she's just in there now." Mum by then was in a right state, as was Kel. I was there giving them a pep talk about how things would be okay.

Then the door opened and another nurse came out. She had a smile on her face. She said "the baby is here. She is fine. Mum is fine. She is beautiful." Kel let out a screech that would have woken the dead (pardon the pun) and Mum burst into tears and we jumped around hugging. We all jumped around and hugged. We even brought smiles to the faces of those in the ICU waiting room. The little Bubba had been delivered by way of emergency c-section at 7.12pm. 100% healthy and 100% gorgeous.

It was then a few more minutes of waiting but that was spent ringing every person imaginable to let them know that all was okay. Then the doors of the theatre area opened and out came a plastic box on wheels and a proud father right behind it. And even Annie's midwife was in tears!

That what was when I fell apart into tears. She was absolutely beautiful. And I dont even mean it in a biased way. She was just gorgeous. 6lbs 13ozs, 50 cms long, and a look on her face that read "Hey...what is all the fuss about? I'm here...."

She was very alert. She was waving her hands around and her dark blue eyes looking around, trying to work out who was who. She had this odd dent in her head where she had been sitting against Annie's pelvis, but she looked like she was ready to take on the world. She has a little button nose, and chubby little cheeks. Long legs and fingers and a bald head.

They havent named her yet but no doubt she will have a name by the end of today. I took loads of pictures and am so frustrated that I cant download them.

Annie is well but is in a bit of pain because she had the c-section and thats like having abdominal surgery. I am going back to the hospital to see her soon, and hopefully I can download some photos for you tonight.

CONGRATS TO ANNIE AND ALEC!

Waiting Waiting Waiting

Well it is the morning of Saturday, 19 November 2005 and Annie has just headed off to the hospital to begin what I am sure will be a very long, hard day. I am at her house, tidying and cleaning, and looking after the animals, so that she can come back and not worry about those kinds of things. I am more or less waiting for the telephone call that she is well and truly in labour. Then I will jump in the car and head off to the Hospital. She will spend the first couple of hours being monitored by the doctors and nurses, and then they will induce her, and get the little Fattie out. Apparently the baby is already 8 pounds. Yikes. That is why they are taking the baby out 2 weeks early (and also because Annie is a high risk patient).

This is a special day for Annie and Alec. In 2001, Annie was 5 months pregnant, and in Melbourne on business when she had complications. She was admitted into Monash University Hospital, where they tried to keep the baby alive, but late that night, Annie and Al suffered the most heartbreaking thing - the little baby boy's heart had stopped. Annie and Al then had to go through (what I can only imagine as horrific) the process of giving birth to little Adam, knowing that he was not to survive upon birth.

Its taken Annie and Alec a number of years to get over the loss of their first child, particularly in such sad circumstances. But when God takes away, he also gives back, and today I pray that God will bring Annie and Alec a healthy baby girl. The doctors are pretty confident that the baby is 100% healthy, but no doubt are taking all the precautions needed to ensure that she is.

I am nervous, apprehensive, scared, excited and overwhelmed all in one. At the end of the day, I may be an aunty! I may have a little baby girl in my arms, and Annie will hopefully be well. I am sad that, if I go ahead with my plans for next year (which are currently bubbling away and progressing), I may not have much time to spend with the little baby before I go and discover the world. I may be missing a great deal of this little baby's special months.

But as I said before, when God takes away, he also gives back. I may go away, but God has given my family something in return.

I will update when I can.

Love to all,
K

Family Portraits

Tonight, I practiced my portrait shots with Tigger, using the self-timer. As always, Tigger wasnt that co-operative, so I just took of myself.... more just for lighting and background testing.

Ole Ole Ole Ole - We Are Off to the World Cup!

Australia has finally got a team into the World Cup, after 32 years of heartbreak. Here is a picture which appeared on the front page of our Sydney Newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald, this morning, which may be found at www.smh.com.au, Photo: Brendan Esposito



Me wearing the Australian colours with pride!

The Stork Is On His Way

TWO DAYS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm excited. Very excited.


Please send your best wishes to Annie and I will pass them on!

If born this weekend, she will be a Scorpio. So I looked up what her personality she will be:

SCORPIO (Oct 24--Nov 22)

This child's emotions run deep and hidden. Her emotional memory is total — what interests her at an emotional level will be learned and stay with her for life. She is secretive and a deep thinker. She's an all-or-nothing child — no half measures — a valuable asset in the classroom. She may be suspicious of those she does not know but sees commitment as long term and expects the same from others.

Personality key: Resourceful, manipulative, intimate, secretive, loyal, emotional, mysterious, passionate and analytical.

Parent power: Never try to fob Baby Scorpio off with half-truths — she will always know the difference.

The Wait Is Nearly Over!!

Annie saw her Obstetrician on Monday and he wants Annie in hospital by 7am on Saturday morning (this saturday!!!) so that he can induce her!!! OHHHH MY GOOOOOOOOSH! Its like waiting for Santa Claus, knowing that he is only three days away from delivering presents. However, this time it is actually a Stalk, delivering a brand new baby! We already know that it is going to be a baby girl (they found out at about three months because they had to perform a chromosomal count due to complications) so it is now just a matter of picking out names. Annie is contemplating a few names, such as Charlotte, Eleanor, Kaitlyn, Hannah, Isabella.... but Annie is giving no confirmation on what the name will be until she is actually born.

Here is the glowing mum last weekend. As you can see, she is very very very pregnant and is not too comfortable. But it is so amazing that there is actually a little human being inside that huge tummy of hers.



On the weekend, I had my hand on her tummy and the Bub was giving me the biggest kick every time I'd slightly press down on Annie's tummy. I think she is going to be a fiesty little thing, if both Annie and my personalities are any kind of indication.

I'm so excited! I cant wait! I am going to be an Aunty in THREE days.

Will report with more news as it comes to hand.

The End of Industrial Relations As We Know It?

This morning, my boss Nick Stevens and I (on behalf of the firm) held a "Breakfast Seminar" for our clients at the Sheraton on the Park, Sydney. This Breakfast Seminar was held so that we could try and break down the facts and figures of the New IR Bill, which is currently before Parliament. Thanks to the Sheraton on the Park, things were very smoothly, and we had a great response from our clients. I think people realised just how serious these legislative changes are.

After a number of weeks of preparation, including me finding a good location, setting it up, arranging catering and technical equipment, it all came together very well. I have attached some photograhs (albeit a bit difficult in some to see) so you can have some kind of idea of the fun we had this morning!

Nick and his wife Jacki prepared Champagne and a little gift for all that attended, Dave prepared all of the name tags for each attendee and I worked on the information packs. A fine effort by the team! The Sheraton on the Park and its staff were brilliant, and made sure all went according to plan.

Technical Difficulties

The reason for my lack of communication this week is due to technical difficulties. My home computer and my sisters computer don't seem to want to upload my photos anymore. I think it is because I am not uploading them on broadband and the computers seem to put the whole exercise in the "too hard basket". Fear not. I am working on the situation so please stick with the blog for some more of my photos. I went down to Wollongong (my favourite beach) yesterday evening and took some pretty good shots of the water crashing against the rocks. I've managed to slowly download a couple, and should give some of my overseas readers some idea of just how beautiful our beaches here in Sydney are (not that they dont already know!).

Annie's baby hasnt arrived yet but there is speculation (ie. my mother, and one apparently 'psychic' old lady) say that this week is the week for the new arrival. We have new prams, new car seats, new capsules, new cots, new baby clothes, new paint on the nursery walls, but.....no new baby. Annie picked up her new "Mocca Latte" three-wheeled pram which appears to be the Mercedes of all prams, with three different shades of brown and cream interior, sun roof, fly screen and plush velvet cushions. I was well impressed, but casually reminded Annie that the three different shades of brown and cream interior will no doubt change to the ten different shades of baby puke and food in no time. She didnt find my comment funny :)

I Am Part of the Paparazzi!

This morning, I was able to squeeze past the hordes of screaming girls to capture Pete Murray playing live in Martin Place. Pete Murray is one of Australia's highest selling male artists at the moment, yet I was more interested in getting good photos than listening to him play. Typical behaviour of a member of the Paparazzo.

Hollywood, here I come.
















"Pete! Pete! Over here!"
