I didn't vote for this government but if it upsets Saint Dylan I'm all for it. (The Set must be the most inept and embarrassing show the ABC has ever produced, a hideous pastiche of Rockwiz and Later with Jools Holland with Marigliano as the bimbo on the bonnet lol).
People are screaming out for help and constantly getting blocked stonewalled and delayed
Whoa children and Dylan give a worlds first a chance to get off the ground. If we had one case officer for each applicant there would be no money for applicants so hence a wait list. Let the 'rollout be orderly' not knee jerk driven by squeeky wheels. Dylan u can pay ur own way
That's not what LNP said ....
Where have all the disability support services outside NDIS gone? Their all NDIS funded and when their package will not fund a disability support worker what do they do?
So are 250,000 other disabled people who actually rely on it for support.

'Big stick' energy laws return to parliamentThe government's revived proposal that threatens to break up power companies that are found to be raising prices unfairly has been introduced to parliament. LNP abandons fundamental tenet that market forces drive the optimal economy. ✅ 🇦🇺 Australian 🇦🇺 PM Scott John Morrison will be remembered as 'Slippery Slick, Super Stick Scott'! ✅ He's favourite sport should be Rounders (Baseball), not League, as his Govt are obsessed with swinging their political bats in every direction trying to look tough & caring! CA will support this if it's applied to all businesses. That means if passed those amendments could cause a breakup of News Corp...wouldn't that be amazing?

Climate advocate Flannery a ‘symbol of the professional fear-monger’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says outspoken climate change activist Tim Flannery is “the perfect symbol of the death of reason” and “the rise of the professional fear-monger”. \n\nMr Bolt noted that Mr Flannery is a mammal expert, not a climate scientist, that is “preaching” on global warming. \n\nThe broadcaster criticised Mr Flannery’s article for The Conversation in which he wrote, 'my children, and those of many prominent polluters and climate denialists, will probably live to be part of that grim winnowing – a world that the Alan Joneses and Andrew Bolts of the world have laboured so hard to create”. \n\nMr Bolt claimed Mr Flannery has misquoted experts, made wild predictions that don't come true, urged the waste billions of dollars and scared children with claims that billions of people will be wiped out.\n\nImage: AP\n Bolt is partially correct as I am unsure if Tim is an expert at anything (willing to be proved wrong). Everyone is an expert when it comes to this scam oops I mean science. Still more of a scientist than Bolt
