Diary of our stinking Govt.

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.Woman Happy

 

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.

"  Bill Shorten has little incentive to change his tactic of laying low and letting the government muck things up."

 

You mean Shorten the Harvey Norman man? : 2 years without any interest.

I haven't confirmed anything except that it's a long way back in time, I haven't bothered to look myself, seeing that you enjoy searching the ancient political archives, could you confirm that this is the first time an elected govt has been so disliked and consistently so far behind the opposition in the polls from the day they were elected?

No, quite clear who I mean and quite clear the meaning of the article.

 

 

20 hours ago - Bill Shorten has little incentive to change his tactic of laying low and letting the government muck things up.

As graphs are confusing to the uninitiated,  I will try some easy to understand (????) figures:

 

When the Circus with its 2 ring-masters, oops ring-persons,  Rudd and Poor Me,  were booted out of town,  the "All Ordinaries" index the XAO was:

ALL ORDINARIES (^AORD) 5,144.00

 

After 18 months of the current malodorous "Govt"  the XAO is ALL ORDINARIES (^AORD) 5,928.70 

 

As a comparison

BHP closed  back then (6-09-2013)  $35.16 and today is $30.16 , minus 15%. Gosh that is smelly, but it is only one company as compared to the XAO

 

XAO increase over  18months is  15%  gosh  that smells good, a little like:

 

Perhaps the above could be considered :   Re: Pages from the Diary of our our business economy under our current stinking Govt.

And it is all within the acceptable history period.
