I suppose now Trump's gone, you have to move on to someone else.
It will be interesting to see when Labor get in, if they stop the ATO from computer benchmarking and data matching, I think not.
By the way, people died from pink batts and I forked out for batts and robo debt go figure.
Maybe it was a shame pork barreling went on then, rather than jobseeker and jobkeeper, no it was shonky school canteens and fly by night batt installers.
But hey let's forget the history.lol
Talk about lack of gratitude and tribal politics, luckily you will get what you sow IMO.
What I dislike is cherry picking stupid incidence that could well have happened to either party, then using it to undermine any government of either persuasion, as technology improves AI will be used.You have lost the plot SP nothing to do with Trump the current Morrison government is beset with major compromisers regarding pork barrelling and inadept ministers.
You equate pink batts with Robo debt?
How so? One is a benefit the other persecution of our county's weakest and most vulnerable to add to the criminality it was to fund pork barrelling for marginal seats.
And if deaths is your gauge many more died as a result of Robo debt.
Its not tribal, the questions fail to be addressed.
Morrison is a mixed bag.You have lost the plot SP nothing to do with Trump the current Morrison government is beset with major compromisers regarding pork barrelling and inadept ministers.

The robo debt won't go away, I received a letter today from the ATO, that I'm sure is computer generated and I know if I don't sort it there will be a problem.Morrison is a mixed bag.
The robodebt was one of the more disgusting things to come out.
However it was the Gillard government to bring out the automated software I thought and Turnbull govt implemented the scheme?
I'm not blaming Labor, pointing out they started the cross checks, or something. Libs weaponized it.
I dislike a lot Morrison has done. From net neutrality, stomping on rights.
His plus side was he handled covid pretty well. The job keeper and seeker were pretty good. It made me rethink universal basic income.
Internationally I'm still deciding. I'd say the next 12 months will be telling.
Im not sold on super efficient systems when it comes to government. Eg there is a large cash underground for international students. Yeah you can stamp out cash. But that cash was splashing round the system in positive ways. Students have limited ways to fund themselves in the first place. They buy from businesses local. Doing jobs no one here really want to do.The robo debt won't go away, I received a letter today from the ATO, that I'm sure is computer generated and I know if I don't sort it there will be a problem.
That is the way the world is going, my letter is to do with the SMSF and I will sort it.
As a Government they can't keep dropping taxes, supply the same services and not use AI to find who is dodging tax.
I was a project supervisor and to keep dropping the prices, you had to tighten up on the leakage, it is just good management
I could always ignore the letter and hope it is written off in a few years, but as I did with my daughter's debt, I quiried it, challenged it, then paid it.
I didn't think it was fair, but it was right, so I paid it and moved on.
So let's put it another way, what is Also and Labor offering?
I'll take your word for it. Wouldn't surprise me to tell you the truth. I thought it was a disgusting way to cause people stress. If you are poor and being hounded with threats of losing the little you have, it would be horrific.Gents Robo debt was started by Morrison no one else.
It was totally flawed from the start as well as illegal. The governments own communications shown this was known from the start.
It was a totally stand alone scheme.
The government paid out a fortune in compensation to stop the court case revealing just how bad it was.
Real people died as a consequence, Australia's most vulnerable and powerless.
I am not aware of any other event by any other Australian government State or Federal that compares.
Well I must check up and see if I can get back the $6k I paid, because they said my deaf and disabled Daughter was overpaid single parent pension, when she had them by IVF and apparently didn't report her income correctly.Gents Robo debt was started by Morrison no one else.

Labor needs to man up to a credible alternative. Not some PC limpwristed fantasy hug fest. Lose half your front bench. The right faction actually showed a bit of promise.

That is truly ****ed up man.I don't think so, the repayment request came in 2018, for overpayments from 2013 to 2015, my daughter had all her payslips and sent them in.
The problem related to her not reporting her pay every payday, she was meant to phone them in, but she can't use a phone as she is deaf and as she worked, could attend Centrelink also Centrelink had no SMS facility.
She thought as per her family tax benefit, it was done through her group certificate, in 2015 they introduced an app so she could enter her info.
Then in 2018 she was busted for $6k from 2013 to 2015, suck it up princess, it is shame she works, she has enough challenges to have been on disability all her life, then she would be classed as special and could have sat in Centrelink all day to report. But that isn't her.
It's a weird world we live in. IMO
Yes the really annoying part is, she would have done the reporting correcly if she had been told, she takes great pride in paying her own way.That is truly ****ed up man.
Governments demand laser like accuracy in reporting everything under threat of stiff penalty, yet are profligate, wasteful and corrupt themselves.
And you know what? I'd bet it wouldn't even pay off electorally if any of the parties did clean up their act... Just how politics is played.
It's just bollox.
Well someone must read ASF, hypersonic weapon testing comes back to Woomera.?I did like the sound of the hypersonic weapons, now that's what we need and lots of them, cancel the subs and buy more hypersonic misiles.
Actually talking about the diesel subs, they will have to be able to be shut down while travelling, so our new super duper underwater listening device can hear something.
We need hundreds of these to keep China off our arse.Well someone must read ASF, hypersonic weapon testing comes back to Woomera.?
And a couple of historic flights.
Hypersonic flight tests successful
The Defence, Science and Technology (DST) Group and US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) have successfully completed experimental hypersonic flights tests at the Woomera Test Range. Minister fowww.defenceconnect.com.au
Interesting call, I tend to think the media will start and undermine him, but the real problem the media has is the alternative isn't obvious at the moment.I'm betting a lazy bitcoin that ScoMo will get 3 terms unless he brings back workchoices or anything the equivalent thereof
