How much was this vulnerable and desperate guy paid to say what he said in what is a very deliberate politically convenient right wing LNP propaganda media stunt?

IT SHOULD !!!! NO QUESTIONS ASKED !!!

Of course 9 news would report on finding a drug user on welfare, they just run a fundraiser for Scott - now report on the thousands that are not drug users and struggling beyond belief

How much money was he paid to have his photo taken, his words recorded and placed in the media ? I'm suspicious of this 'story' being broadcast this way, smells fishy.

this is what we get by abandoning Natural Selection

1/ Nice bit of propaganda here. Tell us that this man is 'the face' of Australia's welfare debate as if he is representative of those receiving payments. What you want to do is get people to imagine an irresponsible drug addict whenever they think of someone receiving welfare.

Why should he apologise? Bronny Bishop didn't apologise for chartering choppers thuglyf

The Guy was clearly off his tree and they were taking advantage of the situation GUTTERJOURNALISM FakeNews

Tell me 9 news did u pay this guy in any way? As he is on disability pension did u do due diligence regards his mental health. Why would he risk his pension 2 speak 2 u? Did u stage his apartment 2 look like a crack den? Did u use makeup on his eyes 2 make him look like that?

'It is like cigarettes all over again': I'm horrified by the damage vaping can doAs a lung-imaging scientist, I've seen the devastating effects inside the lungs of cigarette and cannabis smokers. I'd hate to see it all happen again with vaping. It’s worse than smoking because it happens much faster Another terrible piece. Lift your game ABC and publish a counterpoint. I am astounded that common sense has seemingly not been applied to e cigarettes/ vaping at either the social zeitgeist or government policy level. We know smoking causes lung disease, maybe inhaling any smoke/chemical vapor could cause the same? And shouldn’t be allowed?!

'I'm not paying': private schools sue parents for not paying feesPrivate schools are taking a hardline approach towards parents who can – but won't – pay. HatAlexander If I knew they didn’t just boot your child out straight away I’d probably pay my fees a bit slower 😂 Strange “story”. Sign a contract to pay someone for a service, you have to pay or incur a debt, right? HatAlexander :) I am thinking of delivering online private tutoring on a global scale harnessing the National Broadband Network. I might call it 'Guru Cool!' private tutoring. HatAlexander They are government funded, what is their bloody problem? A Catholic school in Melbourne received 200 million from Tax Payers & closed its doors.

Having 'baby brain' may not mean what you've been led to think it doesThere's much debate about 'baby brain,' but it doesn't tell the full story. Pregnancy & parenting, it’s all natural & normal & our bodies adapt. My brain was altered by the severe sleep deprivation of the first few years. But I was on fire while pregnant. 6 years later my brain is stronger than ever. Could be down to having 1 child😉Highly recommend it!
