The Liberal Party - How long?

[cartwright]

Its a great relief we in Vic are seeing consistently low numbers now. With a lot of lessons learnt along the way.

I look forward in the next few weeks for the conversation led by the federal and joined by state governments to start to discuss the over casualisation of Australian workforce, the lack of job security and what will be done to improve this for working Australians. Because, as the liberals have said the whole time - this is the only thing that matters. Working, business and money.


EDIT: just read this:

More than 400 Melbourne Centrelink call centre workers sacked

Workers were told on Tuesday by $2b British public service provider Serco that their employment would end on October 30.

www.theage.com.au

The sacked staff will not receive separation payments or redundancies because they are employed on a casual basis, despite many being on staff for more than two years.
A significant proportion of the laid-off cohort work regular full-time hours, but remain on casual contracts, according to the Australian Services Union, which represents some of the workforce.


Callous indifference. Indeed.

Why on earth are those poisonous cretins Serco running anything in this country? I'm tempted to email my MP to express my displeasure with their hiring.

outsourcing in state and federal public services is far more extensive than most people here appreciate

At this rate we will need to assign an ICAC to each Ministerial portfolio, so widespread is the corruption.

They are a ******* joke. COVID has made it all too hard to start an ICAC - poor souls.

Why a federal ICAC does not exist after years of promises

Gladys Berejiklian is not the first to squirm from the heat of ICAC's spotlight. But it's unlikely federal politicans will feel the same glare soon.

So many things to unpack there, none of them good.

That we are getting the far right religious nutbaggery that is prevalent in the States here is of great concern. These people aren't about freedoms at all, they want us to subscribe to their way of life.

Also I really only thought it was "The Left" that are about cultural wars? Strange language to use by Devine and others. Not that they'd see anything with it.

Lastly Canavan really gets away with a lot of s**t. Bloke is nothing more than a coal lobbyist for his brother who threw his own mother under the bus to protect himself.

Cost of scrapping Tony Abbott's knights and dames totals $135K

A parliamentary inquiry has been told insignia written off because they ‘hold no value’ after Malcolm Turnbull scrapped honours in 2015

www.theguardian.com

Thanks for nothing, Tony. That could have kept two people employed full-time for a year.

That was an all time dumb policy decision, even monarchies were going "what an idiot"

It confirmed to the slow kids in the back what a lot people had been saying about Abbott for most of his career, including plenty who looked the other way because it meant regaining government.

Do you really think the average schmoe in the street understands how over a period of several decades the Murdoch press has overtly and covertly weakened the ABC such that there is no longer any media organisation in this country that will seriously hold politicians to account?

Despite what appears to be a significant overestimation of your own insight, ordinary folk arent dummies incapable of understanding what we are being fed.
You may consider yourself smarter than the average bear .... I'll stick with the ordinary folk.

Don't know about " the average schmoe" but I do think there is considerable understanding of the way the ABC is being weakened. It's just that most are ambivalent. What was the lyric of Big Yellow Taxi "you don't know what you've got till it's gone" Wake-up peeps.
