Diary of our stinking Govt.

[boris1gary]

As it's more than 100 days now, it has been suggested that a new thread was needed.  The current govt has been breaking promises and telling lies at a rate so fast it's hard to keep up.

This below is worrying, "independent" pffft, as if your own doctor is somehow what? biased, it's ridiculous. So far there is talk of only including people under a certain age 30-35, for now. Remember that if your injured in a car, injured at work or get ill, you too might need to go on the DSP. They have done a similar think in the UK with devastating consequences.

and this is the 2nd time recently where the Govt has referred to work as welfare???? So when you go to work tomorrow (or tuesday), just remember that's welfare.

Independent doctors could be called in to reassess disability pensioners, Federal Government says

The Federal Government is considering using independent doctors to examine disability pensioners and assess whether they should continue to receive payments.

Currently family doctors provide reports supporting claims for the Disability Support Pension (DSP).

But Social Services Minister Kevin Andrews is considering a measure that would see independent doctors reassess eligibility.

"We are concerned that where people can work, the best form of welfare is work," Mr Andrews said at a press conference.

Don't know why SA unemployment rate is something to smirk about, at least the govt there are doing something positive in regards to jobs and the unemployment rate is going down, unlike QLD and SA aren't trying to do it on the backs of  workers and the unemployed, the national unemployment rate is soaring while abbott and his cronies run around like over privileged, badly behaved fools.

Despite having ONE OF THE  highest unemployment rates in the country, South Australia has the highest wage growth rate - slightly above the pace of inflation.

Ah so we we were only given part of the story before Am. That figures lol

I was just,going to say it's a shame the fed govt didn't take into consideration the unemployment rate when dealing with Holden. When that factory closes down no doubt there will be a ripple effect on many other SA businesses as well

Mathias Cormann stokes debt fears in attempt to transform budget debate

He said suggestions the budget was unfair were "nonsense" – despite Treasury numbers released to Fairfax Media showing the budget cuts were inequitable – declaring "what is unfair is to promise what you cannot deliver".

Abbott Government does not believe in a 'national' (or, for that matter, an international) interest.........

They have an 'agenda' instead......zip, none, niete.

Hope these morons don't take we, the Australian people as fools.
