This government really has no shame.by Kay part 2

Joono, read this and laugh

i noticed one of the ''farmer families '' who complained about safety in SA were wearing military fatigues like the Terreblanche Nazi's did .. cant help but wonder if that was earned or even true.

"Treasurer Scott Morrison is continuing to resist calls for him to admit he was wrong in repeatedly opposing a banking royal commission, instead opting to turn his fire on Opposition Leader Bill Shorten"

It's all Shortens fault....

The baby beetroot has arrived [Monday] and has been given the name of Sebastian.

sounds like Barnaby's trying to get Vikki a job

he must be kidding

There was a Brigidine nun who set up camp outside Parliament House, one xmas, but she didn't get much exposure, if any, from the media. There needs to be more people like the soldier because they seem to be much more news-worthy than civilians. There are many great Australians who have been doing all that they can, for years, for those who are in detention. Many people have had problems with the paperwork, either due to a lack of interpreters or being too ill to be interviewed.

One man who I have been fighting for assisted the coalition of the killing in Iraq which put his own life at risk. He consequently had to flee but the thanks he was given was to be sent to Manus. He came close to death a number of times due to self harm as his mental health continued to deteriorate. Finally, he was transferred to Australia and is getting proper medical care, although, he is struggling badly and the chances of him surviving is pretty slim. His is just one story. There are plenty of others very similar to his.

Our government does not care about those who risked their lives so that our Aussie troops could keep theirs. Good on this soldier for making a stand.

"MISSION COMPLETE.
Thank you to everyone who has taken an interest in my mission to help my interpreter. I am happy to announce that I have been personally contacted by the Senior Advisor for Home Affairs and afforded the opportunity to discuss this case.
He reassured me that it is now being looked at as a top priority. He has assured me that he will get back to me with further information within three weeks.
I am satisfied that I have been heard and look forward now to returning home to my family to await the final decision.
I would like to thank MP Peter Dutton's office for listening and above all thank you all for your support - the media and thousands of people who have contacted and helped me.
I am also happy that I have the Minister's assurance that his department will review policy to ensure all relevant information is considered when interpreters and others who help Australians in conflict zones seek the protection they have been promised.
I look forward to being able to make another announcement within three weeks. - Scanesy"

They let in au pairs who lied about what they were coming here for (intending to work on a non working visa).



Former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce said allowing the partners of MPs to work in their office would help keep families together, and would not amount to a conflict of interest

Of course it would be conflict of interest.. not a good idea for any person to have their spouse/partner working for them (small businesses excluded).

Barnaby has always been a loose cannon. If he doesn't want to be away from his new family.. he needs to get a different job.

It has been revealed that Australia's peak business lobby met with representatives of the controversial research firm Cambridge Analytica last year.

Business Council chief Jennifer Westacott and president Grant King were involved in the meeting in Washington DC in September 2017.

Ms Westacott told a Senate hearing in Melbourne on Thursday the meeting had been held "more out of curiosity" than any other reason.

But she said it had nothing to do with the council's campaign to support the Turnbull government's corporate tax cuts, which is the subject of the Senate inquiry.

She said, under questioning from Labor senator Kristina Keneally, the BCA did not have any formal relationship with Cambridge Analytica or use them in the South Australian state election campaign.

Our crappy government made a deal with Taiwan to send those on Nauru to be sent there for medical treatment rather than to here but it seems to have backfired. A suicidal kid was sent to Taiwan for treatment and it has been strongly recommended that he should not be returned to Nauru.

www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/05/suicidal-refugee-child-should-not-be-sent-back-to-nauru-psychiatrist-says

Guardian Australia has reported on the treatment of his mother, Fatemeh, who was flown from Nauru after a delay of 18 months, for a heart operation. She has been treated on Taiwan.

Hamid, who had been held on Nauru since he was 11, was suffering from acute and worsening depression on the island. Since being taken to Taiwan with his mother he has had a number of meetings with a psychiatrist at the Taiwan Adventist hospital.

The psychiatrist has said he should not be sent back to Nauru.

“The depressive symptoms were not improved, moreover, he had persistent suicide ideation and some organised plans,” the latest psychiatrist’s report says. “I have already prescribed antidepressant for him and told his mother, who is also a patient with major depression, to accompany him.

“After discussing with the patient, his mother and their case manager, I think the environment in Nauru is [not only] not helpful with his depression, but even the trigger of his depression.”


Hamid’s mother Fatemeh was moved to Taiwan for heart surgery.
The doctor’s finding – that the fact of being held on Nauru indefinitely is contributing to, and even causing, Hamid’s mental distress – has caused significant consternation within the Australian Border Force and Department of Home Affairs.

Taiwan was chosen by Australia as a suitable third country to which people held on Nauru could be sent for medical treatment largely because it was outside the protections of the refugee convention and the reach of Australia’s courts, while still providing high-level care.

Most asylum seekers and refugees brought to Australia for health treatment win court injunctions preventing their return to offshore processing centres in Nauru or Papua New Guinea.

so budget night tonight and low income earners are said to get a whopping tax break of $10.50 pw
