From what I understand the EA the government has been pushing has a very minimal overall payrise in exchange for a reduction in other benefits and longer hours. The ATO staff have repeatedly rejected it, because it ends up being a paycut per hour.

The government have been rather poo poo about the whole process and didn't even start negotiating a new EA until the old one expired, because they (and especially ericabetz) hate the CPSU.

He's a huge nerd and genuinely likes the show. Now that Conroy's retired he's probably the biggest Whovian in parliament.

Michael Sukkar has made a good start espousing affordable housing policy.

"Get a high paying job, I had two houses by 35"

He is on a salary more than 2.5 times the average nationally, and is paid $270 per day to stay in his own property in Canberra

Sounds like he was correct then :smug:

I thought the backstory to the new movies was that the terrorists previous good guys won and are now the legitimate government, but instead of destroying the bad guys they just decided to leave them alone and the new good guys are fighting them by themselves.

Yeah basically.

Tony Abbott has used a book launch to unveil a sweeping conservative manifesto for the next federal election, declaring the Coalition needs to cut immigration, slash the renewable energy target, abolish the Human Rights Commission, and gut the capacity of the Senate to be a roadblock to the government’s agenda.

Its a short bow but...

Do they really think that dutton is a good choice?

Yeah, they genuinely do. He's been floated as leadership material for years, and there's a reason he's still in cabinet.

I'm not joking.

At a time where it's just about meaningless. Shorten has two and a half years in which to squander Labor's position and he's not even preferred PM.
Kevin Bonham has a few words to say about preferred leader scores.

The aim for Labor (and the left) is to get the voters to make up their minds and just switch off the Coalition's message 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.

Yeah, the News stable was pretty divided in 2007 and lots of them endorsed Rudd / Labor.

It was p. weird having the guy who was supposed to keep the others in line constantly acting out and building his own brand at the expense of the party. A good move for the LIbs, but could it add to the Federal destabilisation?

That's pretty much what he said in his statement
