Re: 100 Days of broken promises, lies & deceptions

All these lies and trickery might explain today's essential poll. Here's a summary 😄

Compared to Bill Shorten, Tony Abbott is much more likely to be considered arrogant (+18), narrow minded (+17), intolerant (+15), aggressive (+14), out of touch with ordinary people (+12) and more honest than most politicians (+11).

Bill Shorten is regarded by more slightly respondents to be intelligent (-4).

Lmao

What? More honest? Pfft.

Pension age rise: Australians to become some of the oldest workers in the world

 

Australians will become some of the oldest workers in the world if the government lifts the pension age to 70.

Data from the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development shows if Australia lifts the pension age to 70 – as indicated by Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey on Sunday – it will be doing so years before other countries finish lifting theirs to 67.

 

Mr Hockey gave his clearest signal yet on Sunday that Australia’s pension age could rise to 70 in the budget, saying his generation would have to work for longer to prevent serious future budgetary stresses from an ageing population.

His plan has been heavily criticised by seniors and the Labor Party, with opposition spokeswoman for families Jenny Macklin saying the legislated rise to 67 had not begun yet, and the government would need to account for serious age discrimination in the workplace before lifting it to 70.

 

Tony Abbott accused of breaking promise on pension age

 

Scott McDine, Assistant National Secretary, Australian Workers' Union, said the proposal shows "complete disregard for both blue collar workers and shift workers".

 

"To ask someone who engages in manual labour their whole working life to keep it up until 70 is absurd," he said.

"Workers would break before they reached retirement.

 

"A proposal like this shows how dangerously out of touch the Abbott government is with real workers."

Young unemployed triple since GFC

 

There are currently 257,000 unemployed young people in Australia. In Victoria alone, there are 81,900 unemployed young people, and 14,000 who have not worked at all in 12 months, according to a Brotherhood of St Laurence report released on Monday.

So much for the clever country.....

 

CSIRO braces for budget cut of up to $150 million

 

Australia’s peak science body is bracing for a May budget cut of up $150 million, or more than 20 per cent of its total government funding.

 

Last week, Fairfax Media revealed Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane had been told to find up to $2 billion in savings in his portolfio, which includes science.

 

Deputy Greens leader Adam Bandt said a 15-20 per cent funding cut would "rip the guts out of CSIRO and accelerate Australia’s ‘brain drain’ and promised his party would fight the move.

 

"We can’t continue to produce world-class research if the government keeps threatening the research budget every May. Tony Abbott must rule out any cuts to CSIRO and research in the May budget,'' he said.

 

Labor science spokesman Kim Carr said the cut would be a travesty for science in Australia.

 

“The government is doing great harm to Australia’s national interest and putting us at an immense disadvantage in the highly competitive international science community."

 

Last year, Mr Abbott acknowledged the Coalition did not have a science minister but urged the country’s scientific community to judge his government ‘‘by our performance, not by our titles’’.

 

Former Victorian chief scientist Sir Gustav Nossal said he would be appalled if the cuts hit the organisation, which he described as a national icon.

 

‘‘CSIRO will produce research results that will sponsor innovation and help to create smarter industries which is what Australia needs after a mining boom,’’ he said.

Did you feel so sorry for the previous losers? You know the ones who refused to accept that they lost, or wus robbed (to use the words of pyne).

 

They had a hissy fit for 3 years and didn't suck it up and accept defeat.  The behaved like spoilt brats instead.

That would refer to the past  Poor Me and Rudd circus,  with interchangeable,  unable to suck,  ringmasters and assorted caucus clowns.

No I would prefer a government that believes in climate change at the very least.
