"probably"

NACC working as intended then

doing the right thing by the poor and vulnerable never got anyone a mansion in Port Macquarie

they get free kick after free kick. They know that the poors have no stick to whack them with, and no carrot of cushy sinecure to reward advocacy.

The reality is the Canberra bubble was never going to allow their own to face consequences for Robodebt

@bencsmoke.bsky.social : "these people clearly don't believe in the universalism I believe in.. very wealthy people.. moving away to remove yourself [from paying] anything into this country is a social ill. We need to start talking about it in those terms" #GMB

@bosh.worstpossible.world

Josh drops by the Blood Work studio to talk about one of the most unhinged prestige TV shows of the early millennium and what it might tell us about America’s relationship with violence.

[Watching American violence that has long been supported, fortified and funded by Americans, coherent with the inherent violence embedded into American history and culture] fuck Russia and China for doing this

"Driving to PT, park, and then commute, at scale" is a truly insane way to do urban transport.

Does anyone at this point consider the NACC anything other than a reputation laundry for the powerful and well-connected?

SKULL: hey we should stop for McNuggets oh hey is that the new Tesla I think I'll get an EV next hey check out that dog over there ah man that good pizza place is gone that was the best pizza they used to do like 14 dollar large supremes oh man I love this song hey can I turn on the air conditioning

"Other job seekers who fail to meet their requirements are not interested in finding work, either because they have other sources of undeclared income or because they see their payments as an entitlement for which they should not have to do anything in return. For these job seekers, strong penalties are required to send a clear message that those who are unwilling to meet their mutual obligation requirements will not receive income support. Based on these findings, a new compliance system is proposed that will address the weaknesses of the current model and deliver the objectives of this review. This new framework will include: • Greater autonomy and emphasis on personal responsibility for most job seekers. • Better identification of factors impacting job seeker capability before penalties are applied. • Targeting of significantly tougher compliance penalties at job seekers who have demonstrated they are not genuine in meeting their requirements. • Greater simplicity through more consistency in the design and application of compliance rules for different types of failures Recommendation 1: Targeted Compliance Framework The new approach will be based around a targeted compliance framework which consists of two phases – a personal responsibility phase for the majority of job seekers who generally meet their requirements and an intensive compliance phase which will apply strong penalties to persistently non-compliant job seekers. The system will be bolstered by new technologies to assist job seekers in monitoring their requirements, and multiple interventions to identify when factors impacting the job seekers ability to comply or inappropriate requirements may be preventing a genuine job seeker from meeting their requirements."

NEW: I have obtained, under FOI, a secret Department report that initially recommended the Targeted Compliance Framework - aka, the unlawful "mutual obligations" scheme

It reveals that, like Robodebt, they recklessly built this thing to punish "entitled" frauds who never existed

Why did DEWR outsource "independent" assurance, giving Deloitte access to its own AI tools to spit out slop?

Because all it ever wanted from Deloitte was justification to keep MOs punishments going

I have FOIed a bunch of Ministerial briefings & the theme is the same: We must keep the system on

Waking up to find out VIC Labor is following the lead of the QLD LNP is infuriating and will have absolutely devastating consequences. On the great Leo Puglisi’s birthday no less
