Diary of our stinking Govt.

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.Woman Happy

 

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.

are you blaming the gillard government

for what happened to it?

 

you will find our navy did everything they 

could to save the people and the reason it was not

detected was due to the weather conditions.

 

under the current government, a boat in that

condition would NEVER be sent back.

 

instead, air conditioned life boats fitted with safety

belts, navigational equipment, life jackets, food 

and water are being used.

J2010, you are talking to someone who believes aircraft condensation trails are evil secret chemical trails (in broad daylight??),  who manages to make the figure  6  into 6000,  and once announced that there were no oak trees in Australia, (just a sample of post reliability) is unaware of due process, and has an aversion to research (sorry).

Yes they did, but under the current government how the hell would we know?

 

 

I'm not blaming the Gillard government and neither am I praising them. I think the refugee system has been in a mess for many many years.

Refugees have been used as an election winner or spinner since back in the Howard days. Continually using that photo to point score again and again is pretty low.  I can't see your concern.

It was a tragedy, not a point scorer.

Yes,debra is right. Pity some who only scan threads for the sole purposes of nitpicing or to laugh at others can't get it right before they post.

no, i double checked.

it was joono who posted a photo of 

siev 221 with:

 

"what the hell happens when the boats are sent back?"

 

what happened to siev 221 was not 

the result of the boat being sent back.
