Granted it was rolled out too quick and companies had orders coming from their rings. So they hired kids and ''apprentices'' and sent them into roof spaces with little to no training.Not according to Minister Garrett. His dept warned Rudd it would be a cluster ****.
I believe it was outsourced - and the company behind it has walked away from it.Oh wow this is amature s**t. Like seriously, if a uni student designed this system they'd fail the assignment.
How could no one see this was an issue?? This is not how centrelink works on a basic level. The fact the government says it has faith in the system is damning.
Was this system made in house or outsourced?
For the past 20 years government policy at the federal and state level has deliberately shifted the burden of care for the elderly, the unemployed and the disabled from the state to the community (read families).Is it true that now under 25s have a 4 week waiting period for the dole and tgat the amount has been cut by $45 a fortnight?
If that is true that is appalling. I feel for those who graduate from uni/trade course in their early 20s then enter an inevitable unemployment period. Hate to say this but the attitudes of the elitist morons who support this draconian s**t makes me ashamed to be an Aussie.
its all the middle class welfare he setup to try and buy his way into another term that is still wreaking habit in the budgets today and no one has the guts to tackle it.When he left office, there was zero Govt debt, 20 billion in the bank, and 59 billion in the future fund. Howard got a lot of the credit but it
was Keating that did all of the hard work.

Many people were to blame but on-site poor management was number 1. The kids would not have died if they were trained and supervised properly. If it was so bad why didn't experienced fitters get electrocuted?
Keep walking. No one will ever be able to explain the madness that was the Krudd government.Howard left zero "net" debt, not zero debt.
And the installed batts kind of caught fire etc. now if the Centrelink crackdown led directly to people getting evicted then hurt on the streets....No, it's a massive stretch to link the incident with this issue.
People don't commit suicide over issues like this, there are much bigger and more troubling things going on to even come to this point.
The batts program directly related in deaths because of the shithouse nonexistent governance and risk management the program had

Without the stimulus, we would have entered recession and suffered a deeper economic malaise for far longer. That's not Rudd 'crapping on', that's just about every economist then and now.
As for tax, 22 per cent is insanely low. Australia is taxed lower than most OECD nations. And that is despite the fact that our vast nation guarantees that essential services will cost more. Everybody wants their tax to be as close to zero, but still want Medicare, police, fire, schools etc.
I don't mind the idea in principle, some bugs to be ironed out, ie those unemployed longer than 5 years etc.Perhaps many of our social costs wouldn't be so expensive if we mobilised the 6% official unemployed, those hidden behind non-participation figures and those under employed. Council gardens, train stations, child care etc all come to mind.

The biggest handbrake on this adventure would be the high cost of implementing it v getting contractors to do it. Insurance, supervision wages, tools, paints etc. When does the cost-benefit analysis tip one way or the other
We will never agree on a proper time frame. The reason I raised 5 year LTU/E is they are definitely not looking for work or making half-arsed attempts.I would suggest 8 weeks is the time frame before people are mobilised in the case they can't mobilise themselves.
Oh didnt you hear ??What the hell are you on about Lebbo?

The one concern I have for those still freshly U/E including an 8 weeker, is the requirement to attend interviews. One of the failings of WFD was the disconnect between job-searching and filling a requirement for WFD.
Many of my participants complained they couldn't go or were penalized for going to interviews when they had WFD requirements. Yes I was fully aware some rorted it but I would rather err on the side of caution.
They are already ahead of you. WFD in Victor Harbor suffers from elderly volunteers using blower vacs etc in keeping the streets tidyI see the remnants of the communist era where the elderly mobilise themselves in parks (gardening, arts, games) as something wonderful and something Australia should aim to achieve,
When you put the country on the path to financial ruin when China was bailing us out of the GFC, do I need to spell it out to you?Oh didnt you hear ??
The COWARD ABBOTT , London dunny Alan , wife basher Hadley , Alco groper Chris Smith
they all said it was TEH WORST GUMNT EVAH !!!!!!
And 1 or 2 dillpickles swallowed the lot and asked for 2nds
Yep. But it is more then one man. It is lots of men and women who think it is okay to bankrupt this country based upon their ideological beliefs on all sides of the political spectrum.
