I want to know why the players didn't have the Working with Children card? This is not a new requirement, and it's not a difficult card to obtain. I'm surprised that the players don't get them as soon as they join the clubs, given how regularly they're required to do these school training sessions.

because Richmond

half-assing it since 1982

Sounds bullshit. If you've got a clearance to work with children you've got a clearance to work with children. It's not for a specific job.

These also aren't new requirements. Imagine the outrage if someone with a history was working with kids and it wasn't even checked? The authorities and schools are screwed either way.

Just get the damn check done, it's not hard.

True story and yes I know.
Im not knocking the principal of police checks.

Made the mistake of going on Twitter budget night.

Apparently the government are cruel for making it harder for drug addicts to access welfare.

how much more time do we want to waste running the hard-line war on drugs experiment?

doesn't work.

Labor great exponents of Robin Hood Economics yet again....

Got to love Labor. An increase of Medicare, reinstate the TEMPORARY deficit levy, tax banks.

Budget reply speech basically anything Libs want to tax, make it only doctors, employers, academics, the intelligista pay.

Fund welfare for drug cheats.

What a joke of a party.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Why does the opposition leader give the budget reply and not the shadow treasurer?

It's not a war on drugs thing. It's about using public money to give to welfare recipients to spend on drugs.

Ahhh and in Shorten's own words lift the UNFAIR Medicare freeze....note to Bill : It was Labor that installed the Medicare freeze dipsh1t.

Personally I'd reduce the company rate to 15% and get rid of dividend imputation

It's against our national interest to have our best companies paying out so much dividends instead of reinvesting in themselves and becoming stronger businesses.

will be interesting to know how many welfare recipients are actually on drugs, and to know how much public money needs to be spent to weed them out.

Unfortunately I'm pretty confident the answer will be quite a few.

any word on what they plan to do with them?

Yeah, that's the rub. Hopefully something.

I thought the bank tax was a Liberal party thing?

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Bill wants to keep it.

Thats the point. If Libs want to raise taxes, Bill will oblige and support. Want to do anything fiscally responsible? Oh hell no.

 

[FantasticShirt]

Yea because it's that simple...

When was the last time a "temporary" levy actually temporary? Every one I can think of eventually became permanent. Doesn't matter which side of politics introduces it, temporary levies always become permanent levies.

Bill Shorten - the gift to the Libs that keeps giving..

 

[DD#23]

came across this today - this guy drops a few of his beliefs that I certainly don't agree with along the way, but his 10 points really shoot the regressive left right between the eyes.

must watch for progressive types (which is definitely the way I lean by the way), as its a good summary of why lefties aren't being taken seriously.

short version: attack people's arguments, not their character.

 

[Bicks]

Albo, Albo where for art thou?

Time to put this dunce out of his misery...

I just love all the hullabaloo over his wife's necklace.

She's Quentin Bryce's daughter for christs sake. Even if her necklace was from a happy meal, just her sitting there is evidence of what a sycophantic suck arse Bill Shorten is.

What are the other ones? There's been some state ones I'm sure. Was the ESL supposed to be temporary?

Anyway, law says it ends. So wanting to change law to keep it in = raising taxes.

Andrew Leigh, the ALP's shadow assistant treasurer no less, just got schooled again on Lateline. The guy is an ignoramous.
