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 did not, and neither did you until a short time ago.    

Possibly the Obama one is fake.  Have you researched that with as much enthusiasm?

yes, of course i thought it was real. 

you're usually pretty good at these things

i didn't think you would post a fake pic.

i wanted to see if there was another picture -

thinking that maybe it was cropped and he

was looking at something else - and i found

the original pic

There is an old thread somewhere on CS discussing that photo shopped pic, that's how I knew. the Obama one might be mentioned too. How about researching that pic as well julia?

I have observed that Scott always wears high necked tops in parliament, possibly on advice.  She hasn't ceased to flirt and almost giggle every time she asks a question, though.

not sure about enthusiasm but 

i did check before posting it.

the pic is not fake but i think sarcozy was

doing most of the looking.

My answer is the same as Dr Phil's.  If you wouldn't do it with your spouse standing beside you, it is cheating.

meanwhile... not photo shopped

ie to dress business like.

i haven't seen any pics of her wearing low cut

tops though.
