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.

I will as usual give thanks to the attempt by the Circus to run a business (NBN) which resulted in myself buying a lot of TLS at around $3.00, giving a return of around 14% (FF), a recent yummy TLS share buy-back of lots of my shares, which I then promptly bought back at $5.40, and a large franking credit which I will not see for nearly a year.
I digress/drool so NW here is an acceptable BIG TLS share price history image to demonstrate our stinking Govt. over a the last year :
I have to give the Circus business arm and Conroy one of these 
Mods are for reporting inappropriate posts to, which include interpersonal comments 
Robust debate never includes making personal comments, something you lapse into fairly quickly. Sarah Hanson Young you refer to her with a derogatory name all the time.
Speaking generally, nor does it include bigoted or racist comments.
