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.

to aps who sadly said:

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

paints: Women do make great flight crew, both front and rear seaters. It's been shown both in Fast Jets, Transports

and Attack Helicopters. In fact, one UK pilot of an Attack Helicopter, call sign "Killer Chick" holds a few British

records for kills and ordnance fired in one day. And yesm she is slim, blonde and very attractive !

"actually I hope none of our youth fall for this shy te"

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

And deny them a good qualification that can lead to good jobs in the future ?

no good if they are dead. Corpses don't get that great a pay rate or career plan from what i hear.

.....and you of all people should know better ref the numbers of military that return with the effects of Post Traumatic Stree Disorder - many never recover completely, many are okay for years and then 'BAM!' hits like a ton of bricks.....shouldn't you Professor of Psychology?

find it for yourself instead of asking me to do it ,it is somewhere and no, I will not disclose my source to you

Dead ?

The last Aussie pilot to die flying in combat was Vietnam.

Although one nearly died in the GW leading US Fighters but JUST managed to dodge the missile (Matt Hall).

Yes, PTSD is an issue but why the negativity towards women doing it ?

You lot wanted equality, now you are saying you don't want them doing the job ????????

It's that "choosiness" that pees people off.

Which Zoo did "that" escape from ?

I LOL when I try and look at an online Daily Telegraph artiicle and access is denied and subscription info is shown. Oay to read it? As if.

Who cares who eBay makes political donations too? If one objects to who they donate too, easy, boycott them.. No buying, selling or using forums.

Is this going to be the new ' line of enquiry' for the next day or so ...is ebay a leftie org?I could start a new thread on that topic if you want? Or might the next 'fixation' is going to be another photo posted today?

This is a casual chat thread not a Royal Commision enquiry...where was that said? Does anyone know? Pretty limited convo skills,
