@TaxpayersUnion @Info_Aus You really should be grappling with this….about to bite the poaka and his friend.

@Info_Aus If you figure it out, let us know! We are still grappling with it...

That's a good point. The churches have billions (each).

This makes me sick they’re looking for cash in this bleak cold day here in Vic, with Vinnies making money from using Work for the Dole and/or mutual obligations people in their stores, many whom are hanging on by a thread themselves couch surfing, living in cars etc @ArtistAffame

Will I ever understand how governments spend so much money building websites? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

The Taxpayers’ Union is slamming Christchurch City Council after The Press revealed the Council’s MyChristchurch “digital platform” has cost ratepayers $7.7 million, despite councillors initially being led to believe they were funding an app.

Taxpayers’ Union spokesman Josh Van Veen said:

“Christchurch ratepayers have forked out $7.7 million and ended up with a website. If elected representatives did not know what they were approving, ratepayers deserve to know why.”

“The Council can dress it up as a ‘digital platform’, but that does not explain how this project has cost the equivalent of 1,962 households' worth of rates. At a time when rates are soaring, every dollar blown on bloated IT projects is a dollar not going to core services.”

“This fiasco shows exactly why local government reform is needed. Elected councillors are meant to be in charge, but too often management controls the information and leaves them playing catch-up.”

“Council officials need to come clean on where the money went, why councillors were left in the dark about what was being delivered, and how a website ended up costing ratepayers millions.”

“Ratepayers need a system that gives councillors the power to properly scrutinise spending and stop bureaucrats pulling the wool over the eyes of the people elected to hold them accountable.”

We made this kit because Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People are often renters, but are also often under-supported. This kit aims to provide clear, practical, and culturally-informed information about renting laws in NSW, check it out here: https://t.co/9HsHNwxb2t

Why does the govt pay people for what they are not doing yet target income support recipients as if they are career criminals?

"Will the new model still allow providers to claim outcome payments for employment that the job seeker found independently?"

"We would see job outcome payments continuing to be a feature"

fraud, rorting, and exploitation of the poor WILL and MUST continue!

Tabcorp chief Gillon McLachlan’s retail betting strategy has backfired as Austrac targets it over suspected money laundering. And that’s far from the only problem.

Caught up with this week's #4Corners last night. It is horrifying to watch male police officers behaving like thugs with seemingly no boundaries at all and no shame. Glad those 2 got criminal sentences. Doesn't say much for police training.

He forced her to inhale toxic fumes. He placed a rope around her neck, He asphyxiated her. He hung her body in the garage. He planted a photograph and a letter nearby. He told authorities and her loved ones, she ended her own life. Police failed to investigate her death as a homicide.

The media is focused on the minimum wage announcement, so the Albanese government announces that they're going to start cancelling Centrelink payments again using the exact same unlawful tool.

Millions of payment suspensions are still happening, the system is not offline.

Your job provider cannot demand your payslips. It's a breach of the deed if they harass you for them by booking appts, or threaten/suspend your payment if you don't hand them over.

Contact me if your provider is doing this: [email protected] https://t.co/5Nzk1LN5kz
