Though one Liberal had to take down a tweet about George Soros. The anti-Semetic part is certainly true - but the alt right dog whistles bit? That's their only play. You're confused because they're doing it right - the GOP, Trump and Fox keep saying the quiet part loud. More of a dog foghorn. Doghorn.

More likely the contractors have been instructed/encouraged to fob complicated cases off and not spend their time on them, to improve KPIs and SLA performance, without having to worry about people running to the CPSU and it getting on the news.

naeka posted:Most basic of the basic and the reason sick days are lower is because if they take one they lose their contract and someone new has to be trained from scratch. CPSU have put out alot of information on the level this is going on at and it all comes down to the ASL caps at the end of the day. Now if the ALP were smart, they'd sit down with the CPSU and get their ducks in a row, and launch a solid campaign on the disinformation and bad math at play here But instead they'll just come up with a lovely slogan, that doesn't effectively counter the argument that "Well Centrelink are poo poo, so lets try their way".

naeka posted:I think the general public just hate Centrelink way too much honestly. Any positive campaigns are just met with so much negativity I think it's more a matter of why bother you can't win. I am constantly amazed how much DHS is used as a punching bag by both parties cause of how easy a target Centrelink is when the government writes the rules. Even the ATO or ABS after the Census stuff up don't have anywhere near the hostility aimed at them. It's easy to change track on that though. Centrelink aren't just the dole office anymore. You need to deal with them for Childcare subsidies, maternity leave payments, pension stuff, disability stuff.. The number of people who are having to deal with them for the first time has got to be trending upwards. It's SO loving hard to get the maternity leave stuff set up, all sorts of little traps that add to the waiting period (like documentation requirements that nobody tells you about until you call up asking where your first payment is) that I'm positive anyone who doesn't really need it wouldn't bother going through it all, despite it being a national entitlement. The ALP brought that entitlement in, so they should be doing their best to defend it and tearing holes in the government for trying to attack it by stealth, by limiting access to Centrelink resources and making the process opaque and needlessly difficult.

Recoome posted:So where do you think that people should go if they are wanting to, or are in the process of killing themselves? We could have proper mental health clinics, staffed by a mixture of clinical (to handle medication) and counselling staff (to handle the other parts) where people could walk in when they're having such a bad time and be treated appropriately. But we won't because we as a country still choose to stigmatise mental illness, while making a huge fuss about it on 2-3 allocated days of the year.

Or maybe we shouldn't handwring about a handful of refugee boat arrivals, compared to the tens of thousands out there that need somewhere to live; or the thousands of other undocumented immigrants who overstay their visas every year; or unnecessary work visas granted for jobs that could be done by Australians (if it wasn't for the rampant wage theft). It's amazing how the liberals have managed to warp the dialogue since 2013.

Basically having 2 MPs who're questionably ineligible to be there, when said govt no longer holds a majority takes it beyond scandalous to "actually a loving major constitutional crisis", and Phelps would be complicit if she were to vote with them to maintain their hold on government. They'll try, but it's definitely the kind of situation where the GG would be expected to step in.
