A Melbourne primary school scrapped a stall in the name of “diversity” until a call came from a concerned parent — Bill Shorten.

Would we get a proper investigation into the AFP when Labor gets back in? Or will merely the truncheon be passed?
Nothing but only because the ALP are scared of the AFP. If the roles were reversed (Tudge was an ALP Minister - LNP in opposition) then there would have already been dawn raids on electoral offices and an ongoing extensively leaked to the media AFP investigation, then a malicious prosecution.

And now straight out of the Julie Bishop play book:

Federal budget 2017: Aboriginal people exposed to British nuclear testing to receive improved health care By political reporter Dan Conifer Updated about 3 hours ago

Aboriginal people who were near British nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s will finally receive improved health care, the Federal Government has revealed. Britain tested atomic weapons at Maralinga and Emu Fields in South Australia and around Western Australia's Monte Bello Islands. Many Indigenous people were moved away before the tests in South Australia's far north. But some remained and were subjected to extreme levels of radiation, which a royal commission linked to significant injuries and disabilities. Veterans' Affairs Minister Dan Tehan last night said those people would now receive improved health care from the Commonwealth. "Subject to the passage of legislation, the measure will provide Gold Cards to Indigenous people present at or near Maralinga, Emu Fields or the Monte Bello Islands at the time of the British nuclear tests in the 1950s or 1960s," Mr Tehan said.

The veterans' Gold Card covers most health costs.

The breakthrough follows decades of campaigning by those affected, their relatives and advocates.

Government budgets for veterans' health

The funding is part of a $133-million federal budget package for military personnel who survived the British tests and veterans who served in Japan after World War II. Today's budget will also boost veterans' mental health care by more than $50 million, including through psychological services and suicide prevention trials. More than $150 million will also go towards improving the Department of Veterans' Affairs ageing computer systems.
So unambiguously good news and it has to be remembered that ALP governments have been ignoring this issue in the sixty odd years since the events. But lets do the math. Last nuclear test - 1957. Youngest possible person effected - sixty. Average life expectancy of indigenous Australian - Seventy (averaging between male/female). A gold card that has at the extreme about ten years worth of care on it and only if you were one of the lippy ones that jumped up and down for "decades" because I'm pretty sure they won't be advertising it in remote areas and in language. I could, of course, be wrong.

They had been under the impression the tenants were professionals I think? And either the tenants had lied about that or were applying for backpaid rent assistance that they weren't entitled to? It's not clear as the article isn't very well written

It's a bit rich also given last time Labor was in power all the cuts to single mothers etc.

I mean I don't disagree, it's lovely from Labor but no worse than any of the other lovely things that happen constantly, and the cuts to services from the Libs are loving reprehensible. So people freaking out about one and not the other are dumb.

However friendlyjordies we can be miffed at both ey.
