Doing the minimum required to get the pittance from the system designed to dehumanise and oppress you? Say it ain't so. I'm surprised it's as low as 2.5%. It's almost like nearly all of these people desperately want to work and lovely economic circumstances are driving their unemployment.

EDIT: Dehumanise yourself and face to centrelink.

I have no idea what to think of this one. If she has been framed how would the guy who planted it on her know where to get the stuff at the other end?

If she did do it, she must be monumentally stupid. At least she wasn't trying to smuggle drugs out of a country with a death sentence for it.

I really can't understand why the libs thought good debt/bad debt would help them. Theyre the only ones who bring it up. And they're not going to win the next election anyway. Basically just gave away their ability to whinge about debt.

I was listening to an interview with Scott Morrison this morning, and basically describing the standard economics theory of variable costs versus fixed costs, but for some reason is using good debt / bad debt.

I mean the logic is sound in that there's a certain level of fixed costs that can't be changed easily / at all, and so you want to make sure that your revenue covers off these costs at a minimum. variable costs are much more controllable (i.e. embarking on infrastructure projects) and so it's taking on debt to cover these more controllable costs is understandable.

However, trying to call them bad debt and good debt though is purely an exercise in spin, and is pretty dumb as a whole.

No what needs to be done is for the tax rate to be lowered so that these companies decide to stop minimising tax out of the goodness of their heart because they need to minimise less of it now.

Too obvious, some tax with enough write downs, public funding, grants and loopholes that it is effectively zero.

Now how do we solve this problem with bad debt? Better cut welfare again.

Shes a personal trainer. The working was a solo marketing trip to promote personal training, but not by her as she was leaving to go back to Australia. There are other issues with this being the work.

Edit here

“Although Cassie is a PT, she is not currently personal training and hasn’t been for six months. I don’t know why that was mentioned at all,” Mr Broadbridge wrote on the fundraising page.

This is her fiance.

Seeing as Lyinhat looks like a fizzer we return to our regular bullshit.

The SMH posted:

Resources Minister Matt Canavan banks with Westpac, the company he has labelled "wimps" and encouraged Queenslanders to think about boycotting over its refusal to finance the giant Adani coal mine.

And Finance Minister Mathias Cormann and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who have both backed Senator Canavan's combative approach to Westpac, are also customers of Australia's second largest bank.

Senator Canavan, who blasted Westpac as spineless for refusing to fund Adani's proposed Carmichael mine in the face of climate change protests, has a Westpac savings account, according to the parliamentary register of interests, along with accounts with Commonwealth Bank, ING and HSBC.

"May I suggest those Queenslanders who are seeking a home loan or a long-term bank deposit or some such in the next few months might want to back a bank that is backing the interests of Queenslanders," he said over the weekend.

They jacked up the entire Calder Freeway for about three hours after Bruce Springsteen and had four people out of whatever thousands blow over .05. Then they made a press release stating the behaviour of people was disappointing and it saddened officers to see so many people "didn't get the message still" and had a drink then drove a car. Presumably this was referring to people like me that had two cans before 7pm, then drove a vehicle at 11pm because they didn't catch a massive payload of drink drivers and were pissed off.
