Seem to remember there was a big project at DVA to computerise the claims system that started about 5 years ago. Maybe ask the former VA Minister.

All under the CorruptCoalitions watch hey PeterDutton_MP D_LittleproudMP

I agree, yet instead of dealing with it we started a royal commission, 2 years wasted not to mention $28 million that could have Been used to start fixing it. 🤔 When will our governments start dealing with problems instead of starting an inquiry?

Is that because of 9 years of incompetent government from the LNP

Just shows the contempt our government have for it's citizens especially those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for them.

Backlog caused by the incompetent Morrison Liberal government

Caused by?

Yes, but BOTH sides, FFS, this is not about politics or pissing content. This is about LIVES, remember that! Blaming does not process claims or save lives.

Now how did that happen? 😒

China ‘not’ a partner ‘whose word you can take’Former Labor Senator Stephen Conroy says China has spent years 'trying to pretend' it could peacefully convince Taiwan to rejoin the People's Republic, but the Taiwanese have watched what China does to its 'own citizens' . 'China are proving to be not a partner whose word you can take,' Mr Conroy told Sky News Australia. 'So if you’re sitting in Taiwan going, ‘look, we could do this, we could consider reintegrating into China’, you go, ‘but we know what they’re going to do'. 'The Ambassador yesterday said there’ll be re-education for the Taiwanese people, I mean, that would fill you with horror.' What the fuck did he do when I office. 🤦‍♀️ China will have to use force to place Taiwan under CCP rule. The surveys show Taiwanese want to be independent, a point CCP lies about. Taiwan is a vibrant democracy. PRC is a one party state with an authoritarian leader and government institutions controlled by the state. I’ve never met a Chinese person that felt trustworthy, and I’ve met quite a few!

Government ‘will be happy’ to have ‘split’ Dutton and LittleproudSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says the government 'will be happy' to have split Opposition leader Peter Dutton and Nationals leader David Littleproud on the matter of the jobs summit in September. Mr Dutton has refused to attend the event, but Mr Littleproud accepted after Treasurer Jim Chalmers wrote to him after the Nationals Leader indicated his willingness to take part in the summit. “I guess Littleproud wants to look like he cares about the regions and has decided to go his own way,” Mr Clennell told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “I think they’re trying to isolate Dutton, make him look like he's the man of yesterday with a bunch of men in suits behind him.' I don't think they really care Dutton home goaled himself, always does Albomoronic will be on another holiday.
