I know that its a little late now, but if the other banks raise their interest rate for homes loans, but not for other types of loans, I can nearly guarantee the RBA will cut rather than raise interest rates. At the moment the economy needs stimulus to help it grow. This usually means the RBA would cut interest rates. However, they have been worried about adding heat to the already hot real estate market. By the banks raising interest rates on home loans, this cools the real estate sector while allowing the RBA to cut rates to help stimulate other parts of the economy.

For starters, wouldn't the communities need 4G for that sort of consistent GPS tracking and toast notifications? Is Malcolm indirectly promising 4G for remote indigenous communities?

The centrelink app keeps saying my report is overdue when it isn't and when I try to do anything advanced on it whoops an error occurred! If they can't even let me report numbers I don't see how they could possibly code a child tracker.

The centrelink app indeed keeps thinking one hasn't reported for days. But it's more interesting that our glorious PM has such faith in the mobile network that an app of this nature will be of such great use in a remote community.

gently caress centrelink in general. I put in an application for sickness leave on the 19th, had all the required documents in by the next week, and I still haven't heard back from them. Just checked my app and apparently I am receiving sickness leave, but no money has come into my account.

I mean, I know Ceduna will hurt from this, this is blatantly only going to cause harm, but I'm wondering what will actually happen. Country towns aren't exactly Melbourne, I can't imagine they've got the same sorts of people out of work or the same sorts of services, both essential and non. Is this going to look enough like a victory for them to take it as evidence? Or is it even going to crumple and fail there, like literally every economic model says it would fail in places with big unemployed populations? EDIT: Is there a way I can find out who voted for this on an individual basis? My area's both Labor and has a huge unemployment population, if he voted for this I'd love to rip him a new one somehow.

What if you don't have access to reliable transport? Unless your rent is <20% of your payment, in which case, the entire system is still needlessly invasive and punitive.

And how do they justify it being a way of dealing with problem gamblers who have a job and end up stealing from employers?

Solemn Sloth posted:nanny state - restricting the importation of rapid fire shotguns Well, you see, people should only have freedom when its their money. Welfare is funded by taxation, and since TAXATION IS THEFT, it is perfectly reasonable to have limits on how they spend their ill-gotten gains. This is exactly like how if you live with your parents you need to follow their rules to continue living there. Don't like it?! Leave! (I feel a bit weird actually typing that out)
