Is this as a result of a medical assessment? I don't know the clink process for appraising an injury, but this guy is arguably a 75% incapacity worker under work cover which means you get paid. Obviously he can't do this because it isn't work related, but you would think that an independent medical board/examiner would reach the same conclusion as the hardcore shitcan work cover system. What on loving earth it this "centrelink officer" on about?

Obviously he can't do this because it isn't work related, but you would think that an independent medical board/examiner would reach the same conclusion as the hardcore shitcan work cover system. There is a two (well, actually, multiple but I'll describe two) step process to get disability. In the first, a medical doctor fills out a form in which they describe your medical conditions and the impact it has on your life. On the second step, a different person employed by Centrelink takes that information and applies it to a series of tables that allocate numbers to each individual impost to your quality of life. The second step does not have to be done by someone in the medical field; I was performing the second step of this process ten years ago as a psychologist. In some ways it's easy because the application of functional impact to the tables is really straightforward and typically unambiguous. But medical doctors describing the condition usually aren't trained in the manner in which their statements will be mapped to the disability tables and the tables have very rigid boundaries and rules. For example, you can attract points for decreased respiratory function; a doctor might write down "decreased exercise tolerance, can't run anymore" but in the tables they might use qualifiers like "can't walk 50 steps up a 45 degree incline" and even if they're unable to do this, unless the doctor has specifically articulated a measurement of the disability as specified by the table, assessors are coached to not allocate points to it. Mind you, 10 years ago there wasn't any real audit of the work of the second assessor so I tended just to allocate the maximum points I could, even where the descriptors used on the medical form didn't align well with the information contained in the table. I also spent some time calling doctors back, requesting clarification about some disabilities, and coaching them on how to fill out the medical form better to give their patients a better chance. I understand now that assessors aren't allowed to be creative and they've added a third step where another medical practitioner employed by Centrelink gives a final look at every completed application and has the authority to veto the whole thing. I don't want to accuse doctors of being scrupulous but I can't imagine a doctor that just waves everything through would remain in that role for very long; they added that position specifically to make getting DSP harder. *edit* that picture illustrates what I'm talking about really well. If you were a medical doctor, it's not reasonable to expect you'll know that Centrelink counts "being unable to hold a pen or pencil" as a 20 point item and they might just write down "has trouble writing" in complete good faith. But because they didn't use the specific code word, they've now described a 10 or 5 point disability. And the responsibility falls on the DSP applicant; Centrelink doesn't call the doctors back to clarify, in this situation they'd just write 10 points and deny the application. It's unimaginably difficult to then try to audit the process once you've been declined to find out, specifically, why your doctor's statements were insufficient to maximize your points.

I'm guessing the original version of the note had a line about "everyone knows hours are being cut back by head office and not everyone will be getting the numbers of hours they want and many casuals will be moved to zero hours on the roster. In light of that I will be taking note of everyone who volunteers and take it into account when making the schedule."

At this point why are they still trying to push for some form of plebiscite? Do they really expect to get a majority in it, or is it just about trying to get one more excuse to have a campaign telling homosexuals they don't like them? Christ, it's the latter isn't it.

They want to do as little as possible about it without looking like they're doing nothing. Ideally they'd do something that might have a chance of rejecting SSM too.

Oh yes, please, make the campaign happen so you can get all that hate speech out into the open, then hold the vote in such a way that it's easy to argue the truth of the numbers anyway. Frankly I'm surprised they didn't suggest this earlier.
