  • In my opinion being put in a cell excluded from society for an extended period is punishment enough, I know I would hate to spend 20 something hours a day looking at the same 4 walls. Also can you imagine having your employer replace you and your coworkers with prisoners because they’re cheaper, you already had a shitty job, now you don’t even have that because a literal criminal too it (ironically of no fault of their own).

    If the funds for their work (being paid at least minimum wage) were being put in to a capital fund to help people who have completed their sentence re enter society of be way more willing to agree with you but at the moment the only ones profiting are the private companies “hiring” prisoners and the for-profit prison system.



  • So Australian consumer Law is one of the strongest in the world, it requires goods to be warranted for “a reasonable lifespan” which is independent of the manufacturers warranty, from what it says in the article is say that umart are calling foul of multiple posts of Australian consumer Law, reasonable lifespan and right to choice of repair, replacement or refund.

    As to their statement of it being a minor fault I would say in response that it causes the PC to be unstable which would be a major fault in my books.

    Here is the link for the ACCC page, it you’re Australian I strongly recommend you check it out.
