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.

This is just a chat board though Deb.  A place for a laugh and a bit of banter.  It's not a national newspaper.  I'm surprised what the media seem to be able to get away with these days although I did see Bolt and Miranda having a good old go at Fairfax news this morning.

Big sister to the rescue lol.

that's just silly-  and nit-picking

th e photo of abbott has exactly what to do with terrorism??  most people regard terrorism as a very serious issue  btw. I know i didn't post that one either

the picture of abbott and the female LNP candidtate I assume was made up as abbott said the woman was 'sexy'  and I doubt very much whether any newspaper gave that picture "reach" by publishing it

. Tania Pilbarsek does not associate with terrorists, but she is pictured in a newspaper standing alongside them and smiling  as if she is a terrorist sympathiser

[debra9275]

excuse me??

I don't need rescuing

Good grief.  Deb, you know ten times more about politics than I ever will LOL.  Unless someone meant that you had been under attack 😄

Joono I expect things will get much worse in the weeks/months to follow  

I expect it's just deflection

kind of funny though

So in your opinion that makes it OK to photo shop someone's clothing, surroundings and people they are with- I'll  keep that in mind next time they do it to someone

[debra9275]

ummmJulia, abbott was actually standing with that woman- whereas Tania Pilbersek was not standing amongst terrorists, you seem to be missing that rather big point

the abbott & scott  pic was shared by tracey spicer

on her social media page accompanied by disgusting

remarks.  

[debra9275]

but it was not published in a newspaper with an accompanying story was it?

I have no idea or interest in what Tracy Spicer posts where. but I do tend to see newspaper headlings..   rather catching placing Pilbersek in the middle of terrorists. dressed like a muslim and smiling  don't you think?

anyway, this conversation is silly

so will leave you to it
