I'll have to give you the win. **** lasted longer than I thought.

Turnbull now tries to escape into the TPP debate to dodge accountability for the behaviour of his criminal syndicate.
Not a good idea!
The TPP can be summarized like this:
• A trans pacific trade in underpaid slave labour to boost profits and to undermine the working conditions of Australians, quasi an extension of Dutton/Cash’s 457 visa abuses.
• The surrender of national sovereignty to global corporate raiders by allowing them to use our courts to extort taxpayer funds as ‘compensation’ for loss of profits.
• The inability of parliament to pass legislation that benefits Australians without giving serious consideration to budget costs arising from legal challenges brought by offshore corporate raiders.
Turnbull’s TPP is paramount to national treason!
Most pronounced is the absence of:
• Adopting ILO conventions with regard to fair wages, workplace safety, and leave entitlements that bind all signatories of the TPP.
Turnbull’s TPP plays workers against workers on a global scale!
Centrelink's controversial data matching program to target pensioners and disabled, Labor calls for suspension
The Federal Government will expand Centrelink's automatic debt recovery program later this year to focus on aged pensioners and disability support payments.
Key points:
- Data-matching program set to focus on payments made to pensioners and the disabled
- Commonwealth Ombudsman to hold meetings with welfare groups over program's impacts
- Pensioner groups voice concerns over targeting of the elderly
Parliamentary Budget Office charts reveal the Government plans to use a similar data-matching program to save nearly $1.5 billion over four years.
The debt recovery program — which matches Centrelink and Australian Tax Office records — has issued nearly 170,000 notifications since July with thousands of Australians incorrectly told they owe money.
Labor's spokesperson for social services, Linda Burney, has called on the Government to suspend the program, which is being investigated by the Commonwealth Ombudsman.
"We have just learned this so-called debt system will be applied to people on their age pension so they can collect over $1 billion," she said.
The Ombudsman has scheduled meetings around the country this week to quiz welfare groups about the impacts of the project.
The ABC understands the compliance program for the aged pension and disability support payments will be automated later this year.
But the data-matching program will be based on assets and investments, rather than income data.
Budget papers reveal data matching activities with the Australian Taxation Office will be "expanded" in relation to age pensions and disability payments.

I just congratulated Sir Rumpole for realizing the lefties were holding important cost savings in the senate.
Look up the word 'sarcasm' sometime.
Pauline Hanson wants Malcolm Turnbull to bring Tony Abbott back to the cabinet as health minister (as he was in the Howard Govt) to replace Sussan Ley. Thoughts?

Abbott is the one who approved the $7 co payment which was one of the factors that nearly lost them government. Abbott may be popular with the Far Right, but he certainly isn't popular with the public, so having him a Minister in such a sensitive portfolio would be a mistake electorally speaking.
He may do OK in Indigenous affairs or another portfolio that the public don't worry too much about.

Negative gearing must go.
"Sydney's housing has been rated less affordable than global metropolises New York and London in a new survey that paints a dire picture for the city's middle-income earners."

For people in my age group (65+) affordability was measured against basic needs, not luxury wants. But today, nobody is buying entry-level 2-bed, 1-bath fibro homes anymore. Most of them have been bulldozed and replaced by Tuscan-style boxes or high-rise blocks with all the trimmings. They may look new and en vogue, but are way above an entrant's needs.I'm not making light of the lack of affordable housing it's a huge issue for people my age (35), just putting things in a bit of perspective.
