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.

Tony Abbott has declared he has financial interests in this NON-EXISTENT Bank

......but hey, just another BLATANT LIE from Tony Abbott is apparently nothing to be concerned about?

Wonder how this would stand up for other front benchers

 I am certainly not seeing this as a laughing matter.......am I missing the joke?

desperation has set in, obviously, and that tends to play tricks on the mind, lol.

Little errors, made by little idiots on one day, on one legal document can be BIGGER errors made by BIGGER idiots on more legal papers and on further legal issues the next

....absolutely hilarious......not

[debra9275]

I haven't read it paints but it's a bit slack if it comes from the PM's office and has a typo on it. Where was Peta I wonder?

[fourandsixpants]

Sort of makes a mockery of this then too.....can't even believe what Tony Abbott signs off on, including on legal documents

Of course Labor picks candidates from the top of the wood heap !   NOT

GOLD Coast Labor candidate Gail Hislop is facing a backlash after sending a brochure to residents full of spelling errors, including the name of her electorate.

In a letter to the Bulletin, a Burleigh Waters resident wrote: “How can someone who produces an expensive glossy brochure and incorrectly spells “Burleigh”, “priorites” and “enivronment” that was delivered to the entire electorate expect to deliver for us if elected?”
