I am going to be $500 out of pocket Friday because Centrelink hasn't ticked a box against our activity changes in a fortnight, even though I did all the initial application process two months ago and it was approved so I'm all on board the new system, and they expect people to be updating their activity circumstances on the fly from now until forever because you can't future-date your activity changes- only back date them.

I want to put a bottle rocket up Christian Porter's anus, bend him over so he's mouthing Birmingham's anus, and so forth through cabinet MPs in an obvious IP infringement of the human centipede but I'm going to claim fair use as satire.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-02/apvma-allows-some-staff-to-remain-in-canberra/9930670

quote:

The agency that former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce demanded move to his own electorate has been forced to maintain a Canberra office amid fears staff departures would risk its ability to do its job.
The chemical and pesticides regulator, Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA), will allow about a quarter of its staff to keep working from its Canberra office, while the remainder will work from Armidale in regional NSW.
There has been a high turnover of staff, including the departure of the former chief executive, since Mr Joyce announced the move during the 2016 election.

...

The authority had 198 staff at the end of June 2016, but since then at least 110 of its employees have departed, including 33 regulatory scientists.

...

Its purpose-built offices are expected to be finished by the middle of 2019 and would house about 150 staff.

So you want to relocate a business to another location and you build offices that are significantly smaller than the current requirements. Even assuming your decision doesn't cause a mass exodus of staff this sounds like a solid business plan, clearly the adults are in charge!

There has to be some system for managing and assessing who is accessing nearly $200b in welfare, but this is a stupid way to do it compared to like any other alternative.

especially if they're mainly going to focus on unemployment benefits since that's such a small chunk

Kill anyone as soon as they’re eligible to receive the OAP (based solely on age, liquidation is not means tested),seize their assets. There I just solved your budget problem.

Problem is this is the same as their work on asylum seekers. They think that by spending billions terrorising a handful of individuals who ARE THERE BECAUSE THEY HAD gently caress ALL FOR CHOICES will prevent them from trying to access unemployment benefits/disability or seek asylum. They can't wrap their silver spoonfed heads around the concept that people don't end up on the dole because they mean to, or end up fleeing persecution and war because they cbf waiting in a queue (that doesn't actually exist anymore).

Edit: And if the ALP don't vote it through without question, the Media has a 7-way tag team on them for 3 weeks until they capitulate.

You just know it's 9/10ths that she's female and young but not "pretty" like Larissa Waters or a battle-hardened warrior like Rachael Siewart so she gets poo poo on repeatedly by supposed "woke" activist men who really couldn't give a poo poo about a women who they wouldn't gently caress or doesn't remind them of their mum.
