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.

What makes you assume I made that comment?

If you take the time to read back, rather than rushing in for the attack, you may find that was actually Dave's comment.

Sorry Icy. you'e right, it wasn't you and I apologise.

Totally agree.

Appeasement Politics is all our politicians are good at. Labor or Liberal are interchangeable. Both are run by international interests, never mind the interests of the Australian people.

Luke Foley allegations detailed in statement from ABC journalist Ashleigh Raper

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-08/luke-foley-nsw-labor-leader-abc-harassment-allegations/104320...

i now understand why the story has only now been made public, and i'm sorry the lady was forced to make it so.

but i'm glad it is public as we the voters need to know who we are voting for.

not only is mr foley a scumbag so is the guy who used parlimentary privilage to out him at the expense of the victim without even talking to her first.

they both should be up on charges!

kicked out of office, no resignations, no pensions, nothing!

I kinda liked Luke Foley.

Seems like every time a pollie needs to be brought down, they trot out a female who has a sexual harassment issues.
