Yes .... that is BS.

The now new unemployed haven't received anything yet .... many are still in the farqing queue ....

& the long term get theirs doubled plus rent assist & family benefits if applicable.

That will be more than what I'm drawing from my super per fortnight after 46 years of working.

And it will possibly hold off recession.

Best thing this government has ever done.

Might not hold it off, but it should soften the blow.

Credit where credit's due, Scotty from Marketing has done the right thing here.

Now he needs to follow it up by implementing a total, nation-wide shutdown.

That's why i said "possibly". In truth, i think we are in for some dangerous days.

Absolutely.

And physically dangerous too.

Thank goodness the WA Premier has closed down all gun shops.

You wanker ..... a knowall like you should be aware that you can't just walk in off the street & buy a gun.

The process takes weeks ... & there's more before you get ammo.

If you have any form ... you won't get one or a license to own one.

However ... guns are freely available on the black market & criminals & newly started criminals still
have guns & can get guns.

Went the wrong way with that one ey?

Well, that's thinking ahead.

I have lost so much faith in humanity in recent weeks, i'm expecting the bottom to fall completely out.

I mean, it didn't take much to crash a percentage of society. It's really quite amazing how easily we came unstuck.

It was an excellent move by McGowan (and I'm not a big fan, usually).

Unfortunately, I've completely lost faith in humanity.

Today, we have the Gordons of the world bulk-buying and hoarding toilet paper at the expense of pensioners, tomorrow we'll probably have looting and rioting.

Thank goodness McGowan was thinking ahead.

this is what worries me about my d.i.ls brother...when I ask about his money situation she doesnt know anything...maybe there should be an open line where parents or anyone can let a place like centerlink know these addicts and that goes for the gamblers as well....should not receive any extra money direct.....

I cant think of any other way to stop them getting it....

If he's registered at CentreLink & in receipt of dole or even classed as a DSP because of his addictions ...... he has to front the office occasionally at least.

You don't think staff working their don't know who has a drug addiction?

Especially a bloke showing the sort of symptoms/behaviour that you described of your mattress relations brother.

If there's rioting & looting in the streets ... do you honestly believe a closed gun shop will stop people getting what they want from inside it? Grin

You arse hat.

Ihave no idea what he has to do he could be on disability he is now hallucinating so his brain is well and truly damaged....its a terrible thing to watch or know about...I appreciate addiction is an illness but in his case its taken over his entire life and his mum has no choice but to watch him sink further and further into his grave....she is the one that concerns me at the end of the day if she dies they will have to do something for him....so why not do something while she is still alive?....

as far as i know centerlink staff are not trained to diagnose drug addicts just by looking at them....

No they're not .... but you don't think their experience would give them any insight or ability to know who is & isn't?

The behaviours your SIL's brother exhibits is demonstrated in CLink offices all over the country every day. To more or lesser degrees.
