Unfortunately, the pharmacy guild would fight this tooth and nail. Only pharmacists can own pharmacies, the number of pharmacies in a particular area is also regulated via licensing (similar to how taxis operate). | |
If they allow medical practices yo bypass these pharmacy rules, it would likey improve patient experience and care. | |
You've interpreted my recommendation incorrectly. Doctors should be able to run a pharmacy as part of the practice, bypassing the anticompetitive licensing restrictions. This would allow practices to EMPLOY a pharmacist onsite. | |
This would actually be safer and easier for the patient. Currently pts bounce around to multiple practices and pharmacies. As a medical specialist, I see daily the huge disparities between what has been dispensed by the pharmacy and the most up to date medication list from their GP. | |
One of the arguments that doctors should not be able to sell drugs, is that they are conflicted in prescribing and selling. These news laws show that the government aren't very concerned about this. | |
Haven't had one for a while but getting antibiotics in a timely fashion (eventually from an online script service) was better than struggling to get an appointment with a doctor. Thankfully I'm in Qld where the trial for prescribing antibiotics for uncomplicated UTI's has been extended indefinitely. | |
So you’d prefer people sit in pain for days waiting for a doctors appointment when they could be relieved of said pain with a minimal risk script of antibiotics? | |
Apologies for the misunderstanding. I was confused because this is allowed. Many medical centers rent spaces to pharmacists so that pharmacies can be run on site. | |
I also misunderstood because the reason for the pilot is not because there aren’t enough pharmacies, it’s because there aren’t enough GP. Your solution doesn’t address the issue. | |
Firstly, unless you’re in rural/remote Australia, it isn’t days. It’s days if you want to wait for a particular doctor, but if you’re happy to see a random GP then it isn’t days. Secondly, it isn’t minimal risk, not to the healthcare system as a whole. Antibiotic resistance is no joke. Thirdly, this is rife for abuse, pharmacists aren’t good at saying no. That’s been proven with over the counter codeine. It needed to be taken away from pharmacists because they couldn’t say no when it was being used inappropriately. The same thing will happen here. It’s junk policy to try and avoid fixing the GP crisis. That’s what you should be jumping up and down about. Instead of having this short sighted desire to access the tablets, you should be asking why you have to wait so long and why you have to pay so much. | |
There is a huge difference financially between renting the pharmacy and owning the pharmacy. Also having an employed pharmacist as part of the practice would improve access to doctors/improve care. A few such scenarios: | |
- pharmacist participating in multidisciplinary team/complex care meeting | |
- pharmacist giving vaccination. Doc available in the event of anaphylaxis need for advanced life/airway support | |
Let's face it, the main reason the pharmacy guild doesn't want medical practices selling meds is because pharmacy is currently a rent seeking money printing racket once you have a license. It's uncompetitive and bad for patients | |
GP pharmacists are a thing. They don’t dispense meds but they are part of the team and act as consultants inside the practice. | |
The pharmacy guild are pieces of shit and I have no love for them. However, doctors owning pharmacies is a terrible and unnecessary idea. It creates a massive conflict of interest. It adds an incentive to prescribe unnecessary medicine. Why would you open the door to that? There is no difficulty in this country for people to obtain medication. You’re trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist while opening the door to serious harms to society. No offense but this idea is unnecessary and nonsensical | |
Pharmacists prescribing and selling meds is not a conflict of interest? | |
It is. That’s why I’m against that too | |

What I'm seeing is a dip... Then more coal generation took back over and it went back to a normal share of the market, right? | |
Interesting, but I think more time might be needed to understand trends. | |
Things worth noting are: | |
* More gas in use - understandable | |
* Higher prices - supply and demand driven | |
* No change in coal demand - weird? | |
* Solar, wind and battery farms are in being constructed but not on line. | |
* Snowy 2.0 in progress, but not on line. | |
* The energy guarantee, to secure supplies, control price, and get off expensive and archaic coal plants, is why the Liberals oustered Turnbull, and why we are paying more for energy today. | |
A good graph. What is the source? | |
Just so you all know the biggest impact on prices is renewables. It's your insane delusions about global warming that is causing us to have the most expensive energy in the world. And it's you that will make us a third world shit hole. | |
Looks like the use of coal has gone up to compensate a lack of solar (due to lots of clouds and rain) | |
Only the last unit came off at 10:30 on the 28th. The other 2 had come off earlier in the week. Not to mention that Liddell shut a unit over a year ago plus, had all 3 units out in July 2022. | |
This has been planned for a long time, shutting a 50 year old power station is not going to ruin the market. Despite what some clueless "journalists" on the TV might think. | |
Thus was just switching off the last unit (of four). The other three have been progressively switched off over an extended period (1-2 years???). | |
It's from openNEM | |
What? Read the graph and actually check the prices. Gas is the most expensive (usually), and that's because it's activated during peak demand and is an expensive resource generally. No amount of Liddell or any other station hanging around will solve that issue, in theory or practice. | |
One was switched off last year, the remaining three were progressively switched off last week. | |
Thanx | |
I've always wondered why 80% of the employers I've ever had have tried to cheat, underpay, avoid pay, or otherwise scam myself and other employers. I'm currently trying to get my pay out of an employer who tried to avoid paying my wages for over a month, and has underpaid me even then. | |
Now, 30 minutes into a call to Fairwork Australia, it's difficult not to pick up the obvious signs of "We're trying to prevent people from bothering us" - account walling, endless queues without callback options or even a queue calculator/position tracker. | |
I've looked around, and apparently I'm not the only one wondering why on earth this body even exists. It seems a little more obvious now how employers can continually get away with gratuitous lapses in lawful behaviour, seemingly having no fear of breaking the law when it comes to their employees. | |
So, in a country where employee abuse has become routine for many people - A country that demands we do things the "right way", placing ourselves in the incapable hands of "the right people", what are my options for recourse against an employer doing blatantly illegal and easily provable things? | |
*EDIT: Talked to fair work. Apparently none of the behaviour I've experienced (failing to pay for one or more months, failing to pay full wages/all days worked, refusing and ignoring communications) is punishable. After an hour in queue, I left the call, only to realize they failed to send me an email that would provide my only recourse.* | |
*I have a grim outlook on getting my money back.* | |
This is similar what my son went through,lucky I had taught him to write all his work stuff in a diary every day,times,pay everything and sent it all to fair work they had no choice and got the $4000 he was owed.it’s shit we have to go through this shit,I feel for you,I really hope you sort it all out.good luck.ps.If you write in a diary everyday it can be used in court if you ever need it. | |
That's just absurd! Worth raising the issue with your local MP, state and federal. There needs to be more protection for employees, it's all weighted to the employer and their "cash flow" - way too many zombie businesses around operating at the expense of their workers | |
This was a while ago now, so not sure if things have changed, but my experience of fair work was quite different. | |
As an employer, I hired a lady to work in one of my retail stores. First day, she’s pretty late (arrived around 45 mins after our store opened, was on an opening shift). Second day, same thing. Third day, we’d paid to send her to a training course to enable her on our business products. At 11am in a break in the course, I was called by the provider asking if she was going to be attending. | |
She then Called me at midday to let me know she wasn’t going to be able to make the course. | |
I called her on Monday, 5 days into her probation and let her know I didn’t think it was going to work out. | |
1 week later I get a notification from Fair Work saying a complaint has been lodged against me, apparently I fired this lady because she was a single mother. | |
I didn’t know she was a single mother, it never came up in the interview as I didn’t see it relevant to her ability to perform the role. I was told I could either make a deal with her, go to mediation or hire a lawyer and take it to court, where I’d likely be successful but after around 30k in legal fees. She would be eligible for legal aid. | |
We went to mediation and offered her a second chance, in a different store because she felt attacked by the manager of the first store (who she worked with once). For the sake of this story and time, let’s just that that was the most unlikely thing I’d ever heard. | |
We offered her to start in another store, which she indicated at the hearing that would be acceptable. | |
Following day she contacted us and said she’d thought about it and decided it was too stressful and asked for 6 months pay. | |
I told her to go fuck herself and I’d give her 2 weeks, offer expiring end of day. | |
She took it, and the matter was resolved. | |
Interesting detail, turned out she wasn’t even a single mother, which was the detail she used to get the hearing because it evaded probation laws and moved to discrimination. | |
So yeah, fair work is pretty useless in protections both ways. | |
Document everything . | |
Australian workers have no allies. Fairwork does nothing. The unions show utter contempt for hospitality and retail workers. In the end it's up to the individual to waste time and occasionally steal when your employer fucks you over. | |
Um? So we can have the body corporate to back us up incase anybody tries to say this country is unfair??? DUH??? Its for the paperwork | |
Most of this stuff is just corporate welfare. | |
Just send a couple fellas round to knock on the door and have a chat and if payment isn’t made within 24 hours we come back and break ya fuckin legs cunt. Works 10 times better than fair trading. | |
Have you ever considered why 80% of your employers do this? Are you vetting your employers? Interviews go both ways. | |
I've never encountered an issue like this - but I'm very careful with what companies I work for. Not saying it's your fault - just saying if you keep continually finding all the bad ones you should look at where you're applying! | |
Union | |
I've always thought what's the point of fair work they've never helped when I've been ripped off. Last cunt to rip me off made false allegations to cops and got me arrested as well yet fair work did nothing courts ordered he paid but then no one follows it through. | |
if you can get him to transition the records to excel it'll be easier if he gets another casual job under a more complex award (ie; anything with alcohol), its a good habit to be in, I would check my payslips when I was younger but if I hadn't devoted a very boring afternoon to setting one up for my current industry I'd have given up pretty quickly. | |
also make sure he gets a pay rise as he ages! for like four years august was always great since my employer would forget my birthday was in june and back pay the difference 2 months later like clockwork lol (solid employer, just clearly didn't have a payroll software that included birthdays) | |
You do realize I'm in NSW, Australia, in the year 2023? | |
If anybody in power had an ear open in the past two decades, you think we'd be here right now? | |
I'm sorry to be so coarse, but most Australians have given up on such idealism. This is just how our absurd little world functions now. | |
That sounds awful. | |
This really isn't a world for honest people anymore. Not that it ever was, but it seems we've had quite a situation engineered for ourselves. | |
It's not that easy in retrospect. I have documented the hours I worked, but there's no hard "proof" - just texts and inquiries that happen right around the days I worked, and strongly imply the exact days I was working. | |
You need things like pay slips (that show your hours and days, which mine don't), direct confirmation texts by your employer (not from automated programs), or other equivalents. | |
I'd love to, and I know it works better than any bullshit bureaucratic system; But I don't know two guys, and I sure don't have the money to pay them. I'm pretty sure the owner is a thug, anyway, I've seen him around at other venues in his fugly little sports shirt and gold chains. | |
Then get your payments cut for "turning down suitable work". Great plan, genius. | |
You are totally blaming op you just lack the balls to say it. | |
100% - this screams, "I hate drama but it follows me around." | |
No way is this consistently every employers' fault. Especially if fair work is *also* not helping. OP is omitting details. | |
I mean, you're not wrong. I do try to figure my employer out in an interview. | |
The problem is, most hospitality and service jobs don't do interviews - they do trials. So, you're working before there's even any hint of being paid, and you're often not paid for your trial shift - Which is illegal, but utterly standard. Once you've made five pizzas, or poured five drinks, you've adequately demonstrated your ability to do so. | |
If you try to ask questions about these practices ("Am I getting paid for this trial shift?", "Can we process my information today?",) you'll either get an easily changeable answer ("We'll see about payment after your shift", "We'll start processing your details this week"), or you simply won't get the job. | |
You're also beholden to your employer to process your employment, which they can simply forget, lose, and otherwise stonewall your induction in a number of ways, which helps confuse the days you've already worked once your payslip actually finds itself being processed. | |
Sadly, there aren't many heroes this far down on the ladder. There really isn't any choice for good employees. Some places are better than others, but there are no "good" or "honest" or "economically competent" employers below a certain line. They're all fucked, they really are. | |
They have unions for bar staff and hospitality workers? | |
This is a very cynical view. Who hurt you OP? | |
Then why write your post in the first place? | |
You are correct in some ways,but it does seem Australian aren’t prepared to stand and fight for the things that really matter to everyone anymore,that’s why we are losing all things we need and love.it’s a shame | |
As far as I know, this only occurs when it is a job interview that a work provider has set up for you. If you set up the job yourself, you're not obliged to take it. | |
Of course, the amount of job interviews my half-dozen work providers have found me in the last 8 years is... One. |
