So the implication is that you only need to be eligible to join, not to actually join and be a member.
Is this because there is no legal power to mandate being a member? Any legal people?
There is no requirement for an engineer to join Engineers Australia, but membership gives additional professional qualifications beyond the degree.
An employer can mandate whatever qualifications they want. If they need to hire a Chartered Engineer, they can demand membership. If they are happy to employ a graduate engineer with similar experience, but without the membership etc, they can do exactly that. Lots do.
Can be a problem in Queensland, where you may need to register as a professional engineer to legally practice.
Membership of Engineers Australia has no legal status in Queensland. If you wish to sign off any engineering design, you must be an RPEQ.
If you are outside Qld and doing engineering work for Qld, you must be an RPEQ.
Obviously, in Qld, Engineering Graduates must work under the supervision of an RPEQ (doing engineering work) and their work is to be signed off by an RPEQ.
Engineering Australia has a “pathway “process for attaining NER (National Engineering Register) status, which then allows RPEQ.
As I mentioned above, membership of Engineers Australia has value if you are a foreign engineer and wish to have your qualifications recognised in Australia.
Engineers Australia also has the above-mentioned pathway process for Engineering Graduates to gain admission to the NER, then RPEQ etc.
I think most of the other States are in the process of bringing in their equivalent of RPEQ.
The requirement “eligible for membership of Engineers Australia ” is intended to ensure that the applicant’s engineering degree is recognised in Australia & is real.
Head Prefect, why do you go on about Sal?
Why not go & watch Donald duck on your $750 a month bullshit tv bill you annoying bastard?
I knew that without ever knowing that. Because Jack is your typical know-it-all wanker with no self-awareness, not that it would matter for such people.
Bozo the Clown gifts Keir Starmer the opportunity to look Prime Ministerial.
If I had a $750 a month phone internet bill I’d make one phone call asking for a better deal or else.
Jack the Insider is the j’ismist equivalent of that old derro to be found in every front bar of every pub across Australia.
Because you are a vastly inferior target, and Sal gives back as good as he gets (to the mutual satisfaction of all stoushing parties).

Beery, pubs are way too big an asset to play fast & loose with the law.
The penalty for non-compliance is such that nobody with even two functioning brain cells is going to risk a liquor breach.
However, the law is such that all persons entering a pub do not have to be individually scrutinised for (a) QR check-in & (b) confirmation of fully vaccinated status.
Pubs have to make a reasonable effort to ensure all patrons have complied.
(This is not the same as an obligation to prevent the entry of unvaccinated)
That said, while I & everybody I know is able to demonstrate we’re making a reasonable effort, nobody will tolerate an actual unvaccinated (if detected) in the venue.
QR scanning on the other hand, is pretty much dead & buried. Nobody checks or cares.
Sal, the ATO introduced a Taxpayer Rights Charter a few years ago.
Among other things, excessive and vexatious auditing was addressed in that.
Depends when the audit took place.
He’d probably present you with a signed copy of his book – did you know he’d written a book?
The other option is a scorned lover. Payback through the ATO. It happens.
I saw that tweet yesterday. It was pointed out immediately that the decline began before the Rogan kerfuffle. She’s become a trainwreck. Her tweets seem entirely designed to troll her critics.
Sundowning is a myth. So you’re a myth Ed. Sundowning was a term to describe the “agitation” dementia patients experienced around sundown, which just happens to be the time they are most frequently being set upon by the staff for food, visitors, and bathing. It was believed to be related to circadian rhythms but when I looked at the data the “agitation” also occurred during other times when the patients were being attended too by staff. “Agitation” is a euphemism for the sad fact that people with dementia can become real assholes.
Sure anything’s possible. Four audits and driller having a scorned lover. The chances aren’t zero, John H. However, I still going with the burnt toast dude. I can feel it in my jam and Danish butter.
I love to have a beer with Numbers,

Cops have been calling tow truck companies to tow the trucks. Seems the tow truck companies are not interested in helping.
Cops are so smart! I imagine the cops gleefully escorted a few heavy tow units to the protest only to have them also shut down and join in!
Journalists don’t like Rogan because he is far more successful, entertaining, richer, non-partisan, and popular than they can ever hope to be.
Dunning Krugman, what is this bullshit you’re making up about burnt toast?
Given his past of always complaining about staff, which suggests he is lousy at choosing employees or is an asshole boss, the burnt toast option is more likely JC. I threw in the scorned lover because that is a common dob in at the ATO.
I dunno, JC.
I can’t help but think the Australian Death Gluten has got into your synapses.
Furthermore, what’s wrong with Australian butter?
Guys, Elon is not like the others. He’s been thoroughly red pilled.
I was following a Tesla on the Hume today. Acceleration after slowly down for roadworks was incredible. I didn’t see him pulled over on the side of the road so I can assume the thing happily belted along at +110km/hr for around 2 hours straight.

The Israeli Bill to Preserve Demographic Jewish Supremacy
Seems that the new witness in the Ben Roberts Smith case has been granted a “certificate against self incrimination.” How usual is that?
All reasonable points John H. I discount the scorned lover angle simply because of who he is. He mentioned a while back how he spent Xmas eve by himself and how quiet the store front was.
Culinary experiment. Tried to make apple butter to try to be West Virginian.
Um, it’s nice but its basically very thick, only slightly wet, caramelised and spiced apple sauce.
I guess you use it like a jam?
Very energy intensive 4 days, over 72 hours slow cooked.
I realise that JC is joking about the toast guy being a lover scorned.
But the possibilities for ATO tip-offs are endless.
Sal mentioned a few weeks ago that he offered cash for some stuff from a chain of appliance stores and they knocked it back.
Pro tip.
The world is full of Karens willing to ring a hotline. A tradie mate of mine who loves cash has a rule. Keep the cash tight among your regular suppliers. Don’t spray it around everywhere. The ATO love cash economy tip-offs.
Dunno. Should I ask as I don’t eat much butter?
I don’t get the connection in terms of what the silent killer has to do with the burnt toast dude.

One golden rule.
“Never let them know why you are there and what you are looking for.
All sorts of stuff drops out of the trees unexpectedly.”
Of course, they identify themselves and say broadly what they want to look at, but they won’t say precisely what they suspect or have been tipped off about.
Tatura butter?

Sancho Panzer says: February 2, 2022 at 10:00 pm
Where did anybody say this was Qld?
They are.
Never mind what your pundu mate tells you, it isn’t hard to work out what triggered an audit.
Keep in mind an audit usually involves a fortnight on site, that’s two weeks of morning & afternoon smokos with them, plus the formal questioning during (their idea of) the workday.
FMD the DOJ/FBI are the brown shirts.
Go against the donors to the administration and look out.
It’s worse than the IRS under Lois Lerner during the Obama years targeting conservative NFP’s.
That’s how he could tell. They wouldn’t say it was a tip off. All perfectly logical. I mean, if you’re looking to audit high net worth individuals, you can’t go past Sal Hilton from FNQ.
I thought Lurpak was supposed to be cool because of solidarity with Denmark over the Mohammed cartoons, or something like that.

I didn’t know that. Anyway, Allowrie is a good butter and it’s made here in Oz, unlike Lurpak, which is made in Denmark and whilst Lurpak isn’t bad, I fail to see why I should buy a Danish butter when Oz produces great butter.
The best butter I have ever eaten was in Somerset….along with the best cheddar ever.

One of my favourite things, since childhood, it was something inherited from my mother’s family, was really good bread (baguette or good sliced bread) spread with really good salted butter and topped with finely sliced onion. Absolutely delicious.
Right there, proves my point. Not everyone is good at choosing staff so what’s the big deal about that? One criticism of you and you have a go at me. Classic indicator of narcissism which supports my second possibility.
The exact date doesn’t matter.
I am trying to establish which version of the ATO’s Taxpayer Charter would apply at the time the audit took place.

But don’t use homogenised cream.
It won’t split.

I have this uncomfortable image of Sal sitting at a desk, surrounded by half a dozen Matrix agents.
“Misterrrr Aannndersehhhhn, which do you prefer? Plaid or Tartan?”
“Oh, errrr… That’s smoko, Auditor-Agent Smiff!”
And as the whole team traipses out, Auditor Smiff removes his sunglasses and launches into a famous diatribe…
Hell hath no fury, like a Public Servant bored…
Herald, Tele and Courier all currently have a long article under title Pfizer jab plan for under 5’s. It has articles about each states cases and deaths plus stuff from PM talk not related to Covid. Not one mentions ages of deaths or comorbidities except a child in Qld.
Look at the headline for Qld and then look at 2nd para
YOUNG CHILD DIES OF COVID
Queensland has reported another 16 coronavirus deaths – including a child under 10 – as the state’s daily case numbers rise to 9630.
Chief health officer Dr John Gerrard said the child had a very serious and rare underlying inherited medical condition.
Yet happy to include in death stats as helps the fear factor.
The Australian press are leading us down the path to more jabs because they are hyping the deaths and scare campaign without putting the deaths into context against normal deaths. With the millions who have had Covid it is not surprising some of those, especially the elderly in aged care, are dying having had Covid in past 30 days. They have lots of reporters but apparently no investigative journalists.
Not too bad an article up on Daily Mail summarising Rogan interviews with McCullough and Malone.
If you go to Fire Door in Sydney, you can buy their wood smoked butter on the way out.
To die for.

Sheridan has very little else in the way of facts. Most of the rest of it is filler to justify by byline.

What an absolute digrace.
The best milk and cream is from a Victorian dairy….Schulz dairy. I buy their non-homogenised milk, their cream and their quark soft cheese from a shop here in Paddington. Delicious products.
What’s your meat status, KD?
Pre-emptive “Phrasing ?”
No. You missed the point.
I’ll reserve final judgement. However you’re not off to a good start.
Crikey, you’d have to have almost no staff to avoid the occasional brush with FWA.
Keep in mind there hasn’t been a FWA complaint against me since I stopped hiring pommy backpackers – Six years ago.
Before that it was about five per year, which isn’t too bad.
True….
…But asdf’s fart jokes are better. 🙂
Earlier, Driller mentioned how the ATO audited the superannuation distribution. I’m curious, was it possible the ATO even looked into employer super payments as far back as say 2000. I wasn’t here then. Does anyone know? I thought super became an ATO supervisory responsibility much later.
“Sheridan has very little else in the way of facts. Most of the rest of it is filler to justify by byline.”
I call Sheridan the “Dribbler”…….he only ever dribbles shit. He is another whose opinion is always dependent on which way the wind is blowing.
“We sometimes make it ourselves in the T*******x.

I’ve always wanted to make my own. Will give it a go and thank for the tip re. cream.
Beertruck,
You’re not Aviation Corp are you?
No. Ex RAAOC.
I was posted to Oakey Log Bn which then changed its name to Aviation Support Group Wokrshop. Which was originally the old 5 Base Worshop. Or as a mate who was avionics use to call it ‘the sheltered workshop.’
I made a batch of scones just after New Year. With chantilly cream.
Except that the cream was a little old. On day one, we all agreed that the cream was pretty good, albeit oddly lumpy.
The next day, it had bowed to the inevitable and become quite sweet and vanilla-ry butter.
We ate it with the jam anyway.
Drills, you’re running out of countries since you started telling us who you exclude as potential employees.
Only the other day, you mentioned you exclude Danish backpackers. Today.. now we learn you exclude Brits. It’s one nationality a week with you. You slob.
But don’t use homogenised cream.
Do you mean ‘homogenised milk?’
Same part of the country which produces Western Star.
The WS shareholders might be Kiwi, but the cows are decidely Aussie.
Crikey Panzer, it’s not as if I was without professional advice at time of a tax audit.
Sticking it to the ATO, while a pleasurable dream, isn’t as simple as it may look.
The paperwork on a tax audit can run to zillions of pages.
Condensing it on this blog is not going to help much.
Especially as there wasn’t any problem. I wasn’t quivering in terrifying fear of them.
They did their job, wasted lots of their time, came up no trumps.
Like most anyone, I’ve got far better things to do than to score a moral win (over some jerkoff at the ATO) via a couple of sternly worded letters & apologies.
If it comforts you, after a later audit in another year, the ATO did send me a multi-page letter which was surprisingly grovelling & apologetic in nature, re their past exuberance in flogging a dead horse by pointlessly subjecting me to repeat audits.
My read of it was that the auditor was new, was no longer at the ATO, & during their time at the ATO had engaged in ..er.. exuberant but erroneous pursuit of audited entities.
You appear to prefer out-doorsey milk gals rather than indoor ones. Why Sanchez?
Beertruk.
No.
I mean pure cream.
I know homogenised is the term commonly used for milk, but it is the process of pressurisation which inhibits fats and buttermilk splitting.
Which is precisely what you want to make butter.
Russia has imposed a two-month ban on the export of ammonium nitrate
You make butter in Twostix?
All sorts of PHRASING, right there.
I also like Meander Valley products.
Yep. Very yummy — an organic dairy just south of Timboon in the Otways foothills in southwest Victoria. They have their marketing and distribution well organised.
Meat status.
Chicken and pork now reside (temporarily, as the heir will return shortly) in the fridge.
Postponed hunting down the chubby neighbour for pot roast. For a day or two, at least.
Grass JC.
They eat grass.
Rather than grain fed.
Lurpak cows eat … death gluten.
Bullshit. The ATO would never even go close to making such a suggestion or inference.
Another statement you won’t be able to back up, you stupid flog.
Stay in your lane.
Beertruck,
Salt of the Earth.
Got a spare flying suit?
Size 7xl?
I have also noticed that unhomogenised milk lasts much longer than homogenised milk.
awesome … there’s a place around the corner.
will give it a try.
besides that, Aldi butter is pretty damn good too.
Which country was it then, Driller. Was it Dutch?
And calm down as this is all in good spirits, no one wants to see you upset drills. You narcissistic psychopath.
Correct Tom.
They have done a top job of getting their branded products into supermarkets and have sales channels outside that.
My only complaint is they have both Friesians and Jerseys.
The cream (and butter) from Jersey milk is superior IMHO.
About 50% more butterfat.
They didn’t need to.
FMD, where do you live?
You really don’t know much about Australia, or the system here.
It’s not as these people are anonymous.
The slut at the ATO had only the year before been running a carpet shop near where my accountant lived.
The year after the audit she was applying for jobs managing motels along the Bruce Highway.
Btw Dunning Krugman (you’re well named) Mandatory employer Superannuation contributions came into force in 1992.

Sal, if they don’t ask, I don’t show identification papers.
I also dont have any apps on my phone…if I bother to take my phone anywhere.
There was a bar in Ruthven street a couple of weeks ago that got shut down. They got a visit and fines the first time then the second time the rozzers turned up and shut them down. The bar skited on fakebook about it which drew the ire of the rozzers the second time.
That letter Sal.
Does it have a date on it?
