The REAL Dole Bludgers That Aren't On Centrelink An inquiry has revealed that JobSeeker is broken, and that private companies are cashing in while jobseekers and taxpayers are getting left behind. Despite criticising the system, Labor has barely fixed it. youtu.be/WycF_7KRcIg

The Great Gas Giveaway just hit $78billon. And look, tbf, the gas companies are doing it tough. The government choosing to not do a 25% tax on gas exports is only fair - not like there are any needs currently being unmet... health, education, care, poverty, disability... live.thepoint.com.au

If Butler can do what he did to the NDIS, then he's brutal enough to do worse. "Butler sparked a huge backlash from the disability community..." Not JUST from the disability community but from a broad spectrum across the community. Tax the Gas Companies 25% & restore NDIS to those in need of it.
