Government guilty of incompetence over MyGov website: Albanese | Sky News AustraliaThe MyGov website didn’t crash due to a cyber-attack, it crashed on Monday due to the government’s incompetence according to Labor leader Anthony Albanese.\n\nThe government has been forced to concede its MyGov website crashed due to unprecedented demand as users logged on to register for coronavirus supplement payments.\n\nGovernment Minister Stuart Robert said the MyGov website was the subject of a cyber-attack, but was forced to retract that statement barely an hour later.\n\nHe conceded the site can only take 55,000 people at once, which is well below the level needed.\n\nThe government’s own estimates believe at least an additional million people will need to access JobSeeker payment.\n\nMr Albanese said Stuart Robert “made up” the cyber-attack claim.\n\n“This wasn’t a cyber-attack, it was an incompetent attack by this government and this minister,” he said.\n\nThe site went down because it can only deal with 55,000 people and at 9 o’clock this morning there were many more than that trying to gain information from the government.” myGovau AlboMP People I know still can’t log onto my gov myGovau AlboMP What about the ALP when it was in government and gutting Centrelink's staffing level.

Govt, Labor negotiate an extra $40 billion in coronavirus emergency funds | Sky News AustraliaThe Coalition and Labor has set aside $40 billion in emergency funding the federal government can use to combat the coronavirus pandemic without having to recall parliament, according to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.\n\nThose funds are in addition to the $66 billion stimulus package announced on Sunday and are due to be passed through parliament on Monday.\n\nThe $40 billion contingency fund far exceeds the government’s initial plan of $1.2 billion allocated for an emergency coronavirus response.\n\n“It’s my understanding from sources that the government went to Labor and suggested they raise the $1.2 billion contingency fund to $20 billion, and the opposition said, ‘why not 40 billion?’” Mr Clennell said.\n\n“There are some caveats to the fund: it must be only in an emergency, not for new stuff and by bipartisan agreement.”\n\n“It stops politicians coming into Canberra.'\n\nThe comments come as South Australian crossbench senator Rex Patrick confirmed he contracted the novel coronavirus, COVID-19.\n\nHe is the fourth federal political to be infected with the potentially deadly disease.\n\nImage: News Corp aclennell When are we cancelling that submarine contract? aclennell Borrowed from China? aclennell They knew it was coming which is why the sneaky pricks tried to pass the cash ban. No one in Govt can be trusted. Removed guns, money & food, next punishment if you leave your home... anyone see a pattern?

True of all our society. Famous journos have stopped whingeing about fires and CO2 and even stopped complaining about Morrison. Others like the Guardian are reversing critisism of Morrison and now nodding approval. But yes the media also are sombre!!
