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.

I agree Nova, there's been a bit of an uprising in hatred since this govt. was elected, hopefully they will stay in the minority or heaven help our country

"She should be charged with inciting hatred."

Really ?

I will accept that if every Muslim carrying a placard is charged with inciting violence and hatred.

And btw, she wan't inciting hatred which is not a crime but going around saying you will behead someone is.

Oh god, if only they dared try !!!

At present, what are we, 2 - Nil, 1 to NSW, 1 to Vic.

[debra9275]

she should be charged with inciting hatred?

yes she should, she's a journalist trying desperately  to influence the Australain population to be full of hatred for one thing or another

on behalf of her boss

they do the same thing all around the world

I guess it helps them sell more papers

you probably need to be following some of the journalists on twitter to know what that's about.

what he's referring to is an andrew bolt blogger, who miranda devine claimed was a parady account.. it's a long story but very funny

It was the twitter account Bolt's comments, which posts comments posted by readers on the bolt blogs.

That was my take on it anyway  😄

Now there is a Miranda's comments account :D:D

[debra9275]

yep, lol

it's a good article, some interesting things happen on twitter. I see miranda has her very own hashtag now lol

Then so should Sarah Hanson Young (for hatred) and a few Muslims (for inciting violence)

When they charge them, then I will accept it.

Until then, it's called Democracy, Free speech, like it or lump it because we are allowed a say as much as you lot.

We have to read Julian Birnside's carp and untruths

someone has to counter newcorpse hateful garbage, thank goodness there are plenty willing to stand up to them

Only because Rudd read the mood of the electorate and could see he would lose if he didn't bring in something.

The fact is it took some good LNP policy and action to really stop them coming.

But that was too late, 50,000 had already come in under Labor
plus 1200 dead.

Big deal. How is 50,000 refugees from the world wide pool of millions disasterous? 

It's not. It's just the lie we've been fed by the old white men who fear losing their grasp on control.  

You do know that more people attend a footy final match?  

PS, you can give up the lie that the Loony Nutters Party give a toss about how many drowned. They don't care. They don't care where they die as long as they don't make it safely to Australia.

I'd like to see here in the back of that, she'd carp herself when that was fired. LOL
