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.

Is that the lady he cheated on his wife with? Quentin Bryce's daughter Chloe?

Cheat being the operative word here.

Your proof is required of that accusation please. Until then it is just ugly gossip you are spreading.

Oh yes it's ugly alright

FEDERAL Labor parliamentarian and former union leader Bill Shorten has left his wife for the daughter of the new Governor-General, Quentin Bryce.

.................................................................................................................................................................................................................

just as ugly as how CHRISTIAN PORTER ('reshuffle' appointment, now a Parliamentary Secretary to PM) dumped his wife Lucy for his secretary Jennifer!

What is hilarious is how when you do a wikki search for Christian Porter.....there is absolutely no mention of his spouse or ex-spouse!!

Not very transparent is it?....wonder what LNP are trying to hide here....

---

So who's Chistian Porter? The next PM in waiting? The coalition leader?

You're right, cool graphic lol

You mean this incident?:

Abbott's love child turns into shaggy dog story

a. he didn't know she was preggers

b. it turned out not to he his

You know polks, over the years posting here, I've learned to check my facts. Maybe you should too.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/Abbotts-love-child-turns-into-a-shaggy-dog-story/2005/03/21/1111...

The man publicly embraced by Tony Abbott as his long-lost love child is the child of another man.

The Minister for Health confirmed last night that DNA testing had proved Daniel O'Connor, 27, an ABC sound recordist in the federal parliamentary press gallery, was not his son.

---

Abbott announced he had found a long lost son, before he bothered to have DNA checks done.

How old was the PM when that child was conceived?

World War II vets denied memorial visit

A GRIFFITH man is among hundreds of World War II veterans who will miss the unveiling of a memorial in their honour in London next month after the federal government announced it would only sponsor a small delegation to attend.

He knew, but she told him she was going to abort or adopt.  He still walked away.

Believe the whitewash if you want.

Before that ... at high school from memory, rofl.

I don't know if the rabid right are aware of this but just in case they aren't 

Divorce is legal in Australia.

personally I could care less if someone has divorced and remarried, divorced and living with a new partner or still single. I get why the rabid right carry on about anything they think may tarnish a Labor persons reputation, I mean seriously with a PM such as the abbott whose personal history is one of thuggery and failures anything is worth a go......yawn.

Wrong, follow icy's advice, check facts before posting.
