Of course there is the odd exception here and there, that is a human norm across all of society. Grifters are grifters and found everywhere. But, at least the media in general, is not overly stressing the point of view, which is refreshing considering the vested interests of the moguls in charge. I am alone at my local bowling club, of being aware of alternate sources of truthful, unbiased news. I am thoroughly disheartened that these same bowling clubmates have also been brainwashed into believing the ABC is overly leftist. These same people that rely on it for there farm business' thriving from the info received.<br />Rant over. Thanks for the space.

It's something that terrifies them, so slash funding to them and drill for more gas. plus tax breaks for rich people. Bah!<br />I saw that story about the WA govt stimulus package.

However I do think JobSeeker is actually discouraging people from going back to work, BUT not because they are lazy. It's because their usual jobs don't provide enough hours to pay the bills and tenure is intermittent and insecure. Who can blame them for choosing a regular income that provides them with a decent life!<br /><br />What really fucks me off about the whole government 'rescue' package is the blatant focus on male dominated industries and business. They have completely fucked over the arts and academics - sectors you and I both operate in. As Kerryn Phelps said on 'The Drum' last night - it's pretty obvious the government doesn't want to support anyone who has ideas about anything. They are luddites and sexist as well.Dr Mad Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274692672575145183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-7238141616858710782020-09-17T08:01:57.508+08:002020-09-17T08:01:57.508+08:00This is our Australia today,the erosion of our har...This is our Australia today,the erosion of our hard won working conditions started a long time before this covid pandemic time.
