Mate, government by the companies, for the companies. About the only time things happen is when enough vested interests come together to stomp a smaller vested interest on the road to the perfect ogliarchy.

“Idiot” is the word that comes most often in Labor’s focus groups when voters are asked about the Prime Minister. And lest you’re thinking this is just what Labor would spin isn’t it, we had a confirmation this week from focus group polling conducted for Fairfax by one of Australia’s most respected focus group pollsters, Visibility’s Tony Mitchelmore, with the small caveat being that these voters didn’t describe Tony Abbott as an idiot but a fool. Voters in Western Sydney – selected because they had switched their vote from Labor to Liberal at the 2011 NSW election – described the Prime Minister as “incompetent, an international embarrassment and a fool”.

quote:He acknowledged some might see it as "buying" jobs, but maintained it would be much cheaper than paying unemployment benefits to people who were not working. $10,000 is about 40 weeks of Newstart so unless there is some mechanic in place (there won't be of course, because this is the LNP) that prevents the business from getting the $10,000 before the indigenous employee has worked 40 weeks, this will mean the above statement is false. Alternatively, the job may also not pay enough to kick someone off Newstart, which would also probably make the above statement false, depending on how much their payment would be reduced. However, the truth of the statement could be remedied by some sort of fantastic system that prevents people from returning to the dole after a period of employment for say, six months of the year, or somesuch. The employee gets the job, the business receives the $10k, the business fires the employee immediately, the employee is now unemployed and unable to get the dole. I'm personally not against the basic premise of offering incentives to remediate disadvantage, but anything like this put in place by the LNP will be inherently designed for open rorting and abuse by business

What if they were to offer Khouri people $10,000 to get a job? That would be a sweet incentive to job hunt harder.

I think the best way to incentivise indigenous people getting jobs is to give all of that money to Andrew Bolt so that he can whinge about the problem in his newspaper column and on The Bolt Report.

A fake unregistered charity based in Brisbane has been found guilty of giving all its donated money directly to the LNP under multiple names. The charity was apparently for the cause of promoting households to having an emergency plan in case of storm or fire but people who donated simply found that the "charity" gave it all to the LNP in the past and during the election campaign.quote:Mr Andrews said the charity had not "accepted donations" for 12-18 months but admitted to continuing to operate the barbecues with the proceeds going to "getting the message out into the community that everyone really needs to have an emergency plan". quote:Fairfax Media could find no record of bank statements being made publicly available, however donation records lodged with the Electoral Commission of Queensland showed The First 24 Hrs Foundation did make a $7400 donation to the LNP in August 2013. quote:In the only annual information statement The First 24 Hrs Foundation lodged with the regulator in 2013, the charity said it had helped Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, migrants, children, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons, elderly people, people with disabilities and ethnic people. http://first24hrs.org

It's very important to have an emergency plan when your LNP government has defunded all the fire departments.

RIP Malcolm Fraser. The last liberal Liberal. Say what you want about the old boy, but I still think he's the last decent primeminister. And by decent I mean "Not a complete grub" like every PM since.

I'd like to remind the thread that this is BEFORE the current ALP Government reverses the publicized donation laws back to where it was. When they do, every Newman Government donation will be made public.MysticalMachineGun posted:What's the source on this?
