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.

no, they're not.

he is standing in front of the

SAS flag.  

the SAS flag is not visible with

the direct angle because it is behind

him.  on the close up, from different

angle you can see the SAS flag next

to the red one to his right

Stealing our children’s future

Comparing government debt to putting your groceries on the credit card, which your children will have to pay for after you die, is utterly ridiculous as John Kelly has pointed out.  It is also insulting, both for its duplicity and its inference that we are all ignorant fools.

It is a theme that is repeated constantly, with Hockey even summoning a tear as he refused to burden his children with our debt.  Mind you he seems quite happy to burden the taxpayer with his debt but that’s a whole other issue.

Apparently, the millions that the Abbott government is paying to private firms to monitor the media and online opinions and to people like the odious Mark Textor to come up with slogans, has come up with “Intergenerational debt” as a winner.  Our children and our grandchildren will be paying for our profligacy.

What a load of hogwash.

What we should be doing is investing in their future but, by his own admission, Tony Abbott isn’t looking sixteen years down the track.

The Abbott government’s deal with the Palmer United Party to freeze the minimum superannuation contribution rate at 9.5% until 2021 will not only cost retirees, it will also see future governments forced to bear the brunt of an increased reliance on the Age Pension which is likely to translate to many billions of dollars in increased pension payments over future years.

Prior to the Palmer deal, the guarantee was scheduled to increase to 10% on 1 July 2015 and reach 12% on 1 July 2019. The new policy therefore represents a six-year deferral of the increases.

The negative effects of the delay in the increase in the super guarantee rate will be magnified once the Age Pension age is raised to 70 and the pension is indexed to prices rather than wages with adverse effects largest for people currently under the age of 40.

Wrong. They are the same. You can only see the two left ones in both photos.
He is standing in front of the red one so it is hidden, As is the SAS Flag which is so obvious.
The axe is the IRR Flag.

debra focus please 

1 australian flag

2 green flag

3 black flag

4 red flag

5 black flag

6 navy SAS flag

7 you can just see the red flag

8 flag not in the shot because 

  of the angle - obviously because 

  you can only just see the red flag

the last flag is now visible because

of wider angle.  

you can see the flags have not moved

because the window provides a good

reference point.  

[debra9275]

when you blow it up, the flag on his left in the 2nd picture looks to be the red flag

There's no end to the manipulation and lies spread about the PM.

Even a benign visit to the troops is looked upon in disgust and hate.

So sad that this country has been so brutalised by the last Labor government  and the lies they told that now anything goes, any lies will do and any doctored picture to back up the lies is put out.

He set the standard and he's still getting a free ride compared to the previous govt. 

It wasn't the previous MINORITY govt that brutalised the country.  All the brutality came out of the one who claims to be good at sledging, not good at much else.
