Getting rid of penalty rates is exactly the kind of thing Turnbull wants to do though, unless you mean intervening to scrap them entirely.

When Newscorp isn't pushing Murdochs current agenda, they like to be on the winning/popular side. If the government is polling well they can come out and say things like the senate is obstructing government and the media will repeat that. When they are polling badly the media turns, and suddenly they lose any platform to push things like that.

Coming out in favour of penalty rates wouldn't be credible, and coming out against them wouldn't help. If he wants to attack Shorten he'll have to do it over something he actually believes in, and which is popular with the electorate, and that the right wing of the party will let him talk about. It doesn't leave much.

Turnbull kneels at the end of his bed, hands clasped in prayer: "Please Lord, just one boatload of reffoes. With a couple of suicide bombers and 'kill all whitey' in Arabic on the side. Is it too much to ask?"

Turnbull could have supported retaining penalties and at the same time sold tax cuts for business, painting himself as a hero to all while maintaining a net conservative position. I'm not saying in any universe he would have, but he could have in the same way that he could probably buy an ice cream factory and produce his own brand of Classic Turnbull Vanilla.

I just heard an ad on the radio that the mines are always good for WA, mines mean more jobs. So why are these dang pollies trying to tax the noble mine owners instead of creating more jobs for the working class by supporting mines?

Gorilla Salad posted:Isn't that actively illegal as well? Yeah, if there's one thing Centrelink didn't skimp on when I was there (this was over a decade ago now, who knows what it's like now) was privacy. You can't even look at your own record without raising flags and starting investigations. If you just looked at - say - Kylie Minogue's record just to see if she ever claimed parenting payment, you MIGHT get out with your job (but probably a demotion), but giving info to the media was a biiig no-no. So like I said, unless things changed, that's a sacking. It's also illegal but the only time I heard of someone going to jail was when someone was caught giving info to a private investigator for money - don't know if leaking to the media quite covers that territory.

If I was an APS3 schmuck I'd only do that with written instructions to cover my own rear end then hang them out to dry. My guess it was as SES equivalent acting through their EA because SES people consider themselves above the rules and EAs usually don't know what the rules are. loving scum move though. Absolute scum.
