When the Daily Telegraph integrated with the Daily Mirror, to become the Telegraph-Mirror, I called it the Daily Terror.
 
so the businesses that got jobkeeper don't want to be named and the shitfest known as the morrison govt are happy to go along with them.

Companies which received JobKeeper during COVID-19 pandemic to remain secret after federal government rejects bill - ABC News

these businesses want to pay no tax and the govt to butt out of the market yet are first in line when things get tough.

fuck them.

If they get public money they should damn well named. If they got job keeper and reported profits (or even bigger profits) then double fuck them and require them to pay it back.

We're talking about the same govt that had people hounded (sometimes to death) over centrelink overpayments that in many cases where due to errors at the administration end.
 
We believe my son was overpaid on his pension when he got Jobkeeper. We told Centrelink at the time and offered to pay it back then and there. We were told that we would have to wait until a debt was raised. Now more than a year later we still have not been told that he has a debt or not. However I am certain we will get a nasty letter one day demanding the money be returned. At least we know he has been overpaid and have kept the money needed to repay it back. Other Centrelink recipients aren’t so lucky and are hounded about returning any money that is owed (or not owed).

A few years ago my son was overpaid on his pension due to his paymaster misinforming Centrelink about the amount my son’s pay. I think my son was overpaid about $36 a fortnight for 16 months or about $1200. My son was made to pay it back over 13 payments or around $92 a fortnight which caused him hardship. We had offered to pay it back over a year but Centrelink refused to give him that long.

Yet they allow the rich to keep billions that they were not entitled to.

Watch out for them! I got a work insurance payout, and went an saw them, said I wantto pay them some. They said a debt needed to be raised... they thought. Very unsure. So I thought no more about it, a bad move on my part. Nine months not only do I get a bill from Centrelink for $30K, but one from the ATO for $20K. Bastards. Bastards. No idea where I'm going to find the money.

Bastards.
 
Hopefully they won't ... but I expect some people hate Labor Party for the lockdowns (as Melbourne extends their lockdown by another 7 days)
 
Canberra has it's first case in over a year, announced at 12 today.

By 5pm it's 4 cases

By nine, everyone living on the Australian National University campus is a secondary contact


Pardon the language, but this shit is fucked.

Well that's one way of putting it.

What's with mask mandates? Adults have to wear them but children are exempt? Are they serious with this? It doesn't sound right.
