After waiting 3 months to get Newstart I got a job a week before my first payment. I expect to receive a letter from Centrelink any day now.

IMO at this rate people on welfare will be required to wear badges identifying them as leaners in 6 months.

Hearing ignorant pieces of poo poo like Left Renewal go on about how bringing the police into things doesn't help makes me want to scream, because YES IT loving DOES HELP. It can save lives.

I grew up in the 70s with a violently sadistic father who hospitalised my mother and myself on more than one occasion and simply beat us senseless more times than I could ever count. Having the police care just the once would have made a world of difference. Having them actually arrest him just once would have made an even bigger one. Just enough time for my mother to have fled somewhere he wouldn't have been able to find us and drag us back before he finally managed to totally destroy her soul.

So if reality was different than it actually is they'd be wrong then? Okay.

Yeah their position is lovely and this is a good clear-up post,

Agreed.

Still, I know laws have changed since the 70's-80's but my issue is "laws put in place to force police to act." are as good as the police are at following any proscription especially when it comes to helping people who are more disadvantaged.

What hope is there they consistently act when necessary when they can't won't stop death in their custody in spite the extreme conspicuity of that scenario.

If I moved to an Islamic country and couldn't buy alcohol, or to Thailand and was advised to tone down my laconic aussie humour when discussing the king, the last thing I would do is interpret that as hostility.

Unaustralian drivel. Nobody is going to tell a true blue Aussie they can't buy a big cold beer and have that not taken as an act of belligerence. (I guess unless you're Mike Baird) We must protect citizens of Australia from this hostility wherever they are in the world.

I'm sure the US would be grateful if we finally create a pretense for military intervention in Iran. :australia::respek::911:
