joyce isn't the leader of the nats, it's still littleproud. there were rumours back in july that joyce was planning a challenge but that didn't go anywhere lol ideally joyce will give up on becoming leader of the nats again and go cause problems in the qld parliament (he reportedly considered this last time he lost the leadership, with ambition to try to become premier)

Solemn Sloth posted:You’d think “we’ll reverse the damage the Libs did to Medicare and bring back bulk billing” would be a pretty easy sell but what the gently caress do I know yeah you would think but they committed to morrison's stage 3 tax cuts (a terrible idea for this reason among many others) and that means the amount of spending required to get bulk-billing working again is not really viable and they really really don't want to be seen to break a promise

and of course the medicare rebates themselves are woefully inadequate compared to the industry's standard fees, which is surely a major factor in why the wealthier disproportionately use the scheme - psychology appointments are so expensive that even with the rebate many people can't afford to go very often

Blamestorm posted:The one thing that mitigates this over the UK is that the Commonwealth is only one half the story here - the States drive a lot of it too, and we have eight jurisdictions where some of them might do better. (Half convinced this is where 90% of the work on climate mitigation/adaptation will end up happening) i would not expect the states to be able to step in and fix things either unfortunately - their ability to raise revenue is pretty limited so if things are collapsing due to the feds underfunding everything, the states are pretty constrained in their ability to do more to cover for that. of course, labor seems to be still going ahead with the stage 3 tax cuts (though there has been some recent reporting that said they still haven't decided exactly what they're doing with them) out of cowardice which will just make fixing medicare pretty much impossible to fund, and we will keep going down a similar death spiral to the uk

yeah that high court ruling was deranged and is a gigantic problem, though states had serious constitutional limitations around revenue raising even before that. the fiscal imbalance between states & federal government is a big mess but not one that's easy to fix at all unfortunately

Recoome posted:People won’t understand that, the fact that Labor broke a promise is going to get all the airtime. people will notice that they get more take home pay starting in july and labor can make plenty noise about how 90% of workers are getting more than they would have under the liberals' plan. it's a winnable argument for labor, though they definitely should have done this sooner if they were going to

photoshop does have an ai 'extend this image' feature that can just generate nonsense like that now. nine used it on a cropped version of the image for some reason instead of just finding an uncropped version, obviously a stupid thing to do

Cartoon posted:12 months ago the report into Robodebt dropped. It recommended civil and criminal prosecutions (in a sealed chapter). So far Mike Pezzullo (Home Affairs Secretary and chum of Dutton) has been dissmissed. He still retains his AO. Kathryn Campbell resigned from her new job at Defence for $900,000 PA overseeing the AUKUS deal. She still retains her honours (AO and Bar). That's it. There was a public apology from parliament (That 51 LNP members voted against) and much hand wringing but so far after 12 months and a sea of pain we have two clowns lightly bitch slapped. pezullo had nothing to do with robodebt and was dismissed for unrelated reasons. it is bad how long the follow-up investigations are taking, but we have heard that four public servants have been found to have breached the code of conduct
