rumour mill is that the back of the island shed is in for a makeover with the new ride opening, but will wait and see if it does or not, interesting to see what they do with it

They went all out on this video

It’s great to see some great promotion of social distancing.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight up until the Rake reared it’s ugly head.

Glossed over, like the fact that Village are putting peoples health below the potential sale that everyone keeps forgetting? If there was glossing over, this site is the glory hole of it. Yes, it is shitty that Ardent have done this but the timing makes sense with everything going on in their business at the moment. Sure they could have kept the jobkeeper for a couple more months but then you'd just be opening the park again as you're saying goodbye to staff and that looks worse.

Look, i'm rarely one to defend Dreamworld - but by all accounts a lot of their admin area was bloated. I don't know any more than whats in the media (if you do, by all means share if you can) but from reading the coroners report, and going off what i've heard in the past, they needed a clear out. Its unfortunate that some good people are out of work as a result and it absolutely sucks. The timing, in relation to jobkeeper is downright curious - yes, they probably could have kept them on until job keeper ran out, but jobkeeper isn't compulsory either, so its not like the staff had a 'right' to it. I don't agree with you on it being 'dismissed' or 'glossed over' and it just seems like you're itching for a fight. Jdude's comments were pretty factual, as I understand the facts. It is, I agree, disgraceful - but they aren't the only business that's done it.

Why bother social distancing, no one social distanced when the flu season normally hits, what’s different now?

At the end of the Jobkeeper program it is a requirement for ALL companies to employ that employee for at least 12 months after the program ending. This includes offering normal hours of employment. Yes they can take up voluntary redundancy if the employee agrees to it.

That could be more ‘glossing over’ over something if you tried. They sacked 50 people with likely a good 100 to come still, in a disgraceful fashion and they are all essential business functions and a lot of solid people. The place is screwed with no money to even keep itself afloat, and not a spine to share between the management. Makes me angry to see their behavior and even angrier to see the whole thing basically dismissed above. Have kept my mouth shut to now but that pisses me off. Disgraceful to see people sacked with nearly 3 months of Jobkeeper left. At the same time ‘mean old Village’ have kept everyone in a job. Ardent are a disgrace. It will be a surprise if Dreamworld ever reopens under their management, and certainly won’t resembling anything like we know and remember it.
