You really are quite funny - you even want to argue with people that quite clearly aren't interested in doing so, and in relation to points that haven't even been disputed!
I reframed my response.

The ministers for coal Scotty from Marketing and Angus Taylor (dodgy deals for family owned properties) say invest, invest and invest in Coal.

However coal mines they are a closing.

Yesterdays men with yesterdays policies.

Scotty from Marketing and the alleged rapist Christian Porter let alone the rest of the liberal party should be congratulated for the impetus for the current Women’s March across Australia.

As recent former Liberal federal backbencher attests ( Julia Banks)

Scotty from Marketing the PM needs to stop being condescending to women. It’s not too often I agree with members of the Liberal Party but she has a point:

DTM was 100% correct when he mentioned that the scumbag of a government were going to cut the NDIS

The most underfunded groups who fall between service gaps are those with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and Foetal Alcohol Syndrome (I know a fair bit about the first but very little about the latter)

https://www.theage.com.au/politics/fede ... 57dym.html

How Stuart Robert is still in the Ministry is gob smacking: he is the exemplar par excellence of Scotty’s incompetence and lack of standards.

By not holding ministers accountable for their actions one allows permission to behave badly. We know where bad behaviour leads.

DTM you were 100% correct

Perhaps Scotty could give millions to his billionaire mates: no wait he already did ( see the keeping of job-keeper by the likes of Gerry Harvey ....)

And Eddie was 100% wrong when he said Bill Shorten was making it up. (Or was it Stui? I have trouble telling those two apart these days.)

Actually he was lying as the amount he claimed was exactly the amount underspent, not a cut, but money not used by NDIS recipients.

Mate you don’t know shit when it comes to NDIS: the feds put in structural blocks to prevent assessment of needs. Allowing this to occur meant money could be said to have not been spent.

To break it down for the ignorant ( this was clearly explained at the time and anyone with half a brain could understand) the Feds deliberately held up the assessments so need was unable to be identified. Further the assessors they used were often hopelessly inadequate to assess needs. Both of these resulted in the so called unspent money when the need was huge but either understated or not stated)

The Feds have overspent in lots of areas and a lot of it is related to the ideological obsession with privatising services ( there’s a gazillion private service providers out there) who are allowed to rip off the system and the huge overpayment to so called professionals such as: Occupational Therapists, Social Workers and Psychologists to mention a few: check their hourly rates. The Feds have allowed this to develop and there is no oversight.

Then to people with ABI (especially the non-compensible) are one of the most vulnerable in our community they want to make huge cuts.

It was both of us and we were right.

Shorten was claiming the amount underspent during 2020 was a cut, when it wasn't.

I know enough about the NDIS as a user who gets more money than I’d ever need from it and my nephew gets a lot of funding through.

I’m sure there are some hard luck stories out there like any large program, but I’m also sure there are a lot more people like me who never spend it all!

From a liberal party insider, a Professor no less. And who could disagree?

Scotty from Hillsong is hypocritical and unethical according to Professor John Hewson: I’m shocked

Oops. The Auditor General has exposed more ore election graft by Scotty from Marketing. Just when the minister for sports rorts has been brought back into the fold.

This time Scotty from Marketing has funded 27 car parks in coalition fought seats on election Eve going against the advice of the independent panel

https://www.theage.com.au/politics/fede ... 585c2.html

More corruption akin if not surpassing sports rorts.

That’s where you’re wrong Stui, the public do care, that’s why they voted in their local members who heaven forbid got improvements for their local area!!!

All this bitching and I’m curious what exactly the idiots on the left think local mps are for if not improving life for their constituents?

The car parks fir train stations was a great idea and the people agreed.

Great idea, except it has failed to materialise, and what little has happened cost a fortune. Only a LNP fanboi could deny it's a shambolic rort.
