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.

And Bill Shorten was lying with the words he used because women are allowed into the club.

Shame the leader of the opposition can't be truthful. Shame, Lying Shame.

Then again, his level of respect for women comes down to being an accused rapist.

And women still support him !

"Police dropped the case against Mr Shorten earlier this year saying there was not a reasonable prospect of a conviction."

They did not say he didn't do it.

What did he say? I didn't take any notice

No conviction also means no proof he did it either btw

[vicr3000]

If it had been anyone else but Bill Shorten, Labor Party, he would have been hounded to the end of the earth.

So what did shorten say about women being allowed into the men's club for one day?

Oh and abbott has a pretty chequered past too if you're going down that path

Tony Abbott charged with Indecent Assault

In his past, Tony Abbott was charged with indecent assault after groping a female activist on the upper part of her leg, and between her legs, while she was on stage in front of an audience of over 200 people debating student unions.

Was this an attempt to humiliate a woman who dared to stand up for something she believed in?

In 2004 Abbott dismissed this as a long time ago… It’s part of the Abbott story – it is not part of the Abbott present – well so what?

Allegations against Slipper are also a long time ago, and were covered up by the Liberal party – which surely equals accessory after the fact (or whatever the crime is, I am not a lawyer).

What reason did Abbott give for this shockingly indecent assault on a woman in public? She spoke of him, as Tony Abbott says in a highly critical way, calling me… right wing. So someone speaks badly of Tony Abbott and he thinks a justified response is public indecent assault?

Lost ANY argument if you have to deflect to Shorten's distant past EVERYTIME the topic under discussion is about CURRENT LNP actions or Abbott's gaffes.

[vicr3000]

Not at all. Won both of them, thank you. Love your support for Tony on the other thread BTW.

I am sure the Gov't would like a financial contribution from you at some point or is that reserved

for another overseas holiday ?

One was saying Abbbott lied and wouldn't retract it because he didn't, then I noticed what Shorten had

said and that was an outright lie. He should have got his facts straight before asking the question

and being shot down in flames by Abbott.

I am sureTanya will grab Bill by the short and curlys and keep him in line. After all, she tamed a drug dealer !

[gleee58]

Nope, that post indicates the poster is a bully.

[vicr3000]

The post indicates that you haven't said what he lied about, which exaxct words you are referring to.

Since you can't back up your argument with facts, I am afraid you lose it so another Fail.

Thank you for proving the point by not answering the question.

I'm still waiting to hear what shorten said, but never mind I'll look it up myself later today
