Default Casseldon Place

Not sure what's on the front page of your newspapers today but the Advertiser in SA has the story on the maps of Casseldon Place which were found on the premises of these suspected terrorists.

http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/com...55E661,00.html

Kinda scary... i imagine there would be at least one person on the forums who works here?? This is where the Melbourne office of my organisation is based and we spend quite a bit of time over there...

Polly dont like this cracker :

Alarmist crap and pure speculation on the behalf of an irresponsible media, Numerous targets have been mentioned none confirmed with any certainty.
This does not remove the reality of possible threats, nor the actuality of explosive materials being seized.

Media driven pockets of speculation and fear for individual sites, create nothing other than over-reaction and a false sense of security at other addresses.

We have been warned by management not to provoke/talk to them about the matter, or else WE will get the sack. Work that one out... :gren:

A difficult position...rock and a hard place...damned if you do and damned if you don't.

An option if the majority of workers outnumber the idiots..then the union puts it to management the majority will not work with the idiots...theoretically the idiots should be gone as they are the minority and are disrupting the workplace.

But failing this there are many LEGAL ways to skin a cat....some that come to mind are ..harrasment...villification..etc..you are an aussie trying to to do a fair days work for a fair days pay and idiots are trying to turn you or blame you for their problems.

Well i suppose management has to be "seen" to be doing the right thing, but they must understand the feelings of unrest amoungst the workers. :
