Its own shameless contempt for natural justice and the rule of law has destroyed dozens of lives.
They had the onus of proof reversed, they were treated as guilty until proven innocent and for those who had the temerity to complain they were subjected to vile political tactics.”
It was wrong, it was illegal, it should never have happened and it should never happen again.”
This is precisely why you should have a royal commission for purposes to get to the facts, to expose flaws in the way government operates so as to ensure that it does never happen again.”
– But Messrs Albanese and Shorten refuse to back an RC into ‘pandemic’ disaster
Interesting that this is the way the ATO behaves. Guilty until proven innocent. I don’t think Albo is going to change that.
and a Royal Commissions into the taxation spending boondoggles called “climate change” and “public health” and all government spending on so called “public and private media”.
I hope the people responsible for the stupid scheme are prosecuted.
What I can’t stand is Labor figures talking about the “onus of proof” and lives destroyed. Albanese in high dudgeon is truly nauseating.
I read the entire thing and have no idea what the scheme is.
Which rings alarm bells, particularly when we start reading quotes like this from the report:
So whatever ‘scheme’ there was (which, if it’s automatic debts from services australia is ongoing to this day in the FTB which is completley automated), what they’re doing here is quasi-outlawing any government rolling back the welfare state.
Yeah, that’s the hay they’re making of it, for sure.
Economic responsibility = nazism.
Their Australian Taxation Office needs more investigative authority, and guns!
However NDIS, as all Australian communist political paid gangs agreed, is just fine!
The problem is that there were/are so many on Welfare that the Department took humans out of the equation.
This massively sped up the Claims and Payments process, but the problem was that the Program recognised all non Government Payments into the person’s Account as Income.
Normally, people would notice that and get it sorted by a human being.
But, we’re talking about DSP Labor voteherds here, they don’t check theor MyGov A/C to find out what’s happening.
Labor didn’t want to know for years, since RoboDebt was a Shorten initiative from the days of Gillard.
Sadly for Australia, the Electorate has a short memory …
The fact of the matter is that conservative politicians getting between a vote herd and a pot of money need to make sure they dot the i’s and cross the t’s.
They were lazy and thought that whatever the public service told them was their cover for any f*ckups that might occur or people who were hurt. it’s not good enough to say many of those people should never have been able to claim benefits in the first place.
We elect politicians to ensure the public service does the right thing, I know there are plenty of examples of lefties getting away with this stuff, but I have little sympathy for an elected official who thinks their pathway to the top trumps the interest of the voters.
it’s not good enough to say many of those people should never have been able to claim benefits in the first place.
Who said that?
This Policy was a TimeBomb that Bill Shorten and the dying Gillard/Rud Government left for the incoming Coalition Government.
Simple as that.
Someone has to take the fall for the ‘beneficent’ ATO’s monumental stuff up in targeting people on ‘welfare’.
And it aint going to be them.
Maybe that’s why the knives are out for PwC.
That quote above could easily apply to the treatment of the unvaccinated during Covid.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for rolling back the welfare state, it’s just that when government lets people suck on the welfare teat, it’s too much to penalise them for doing exactly what government let them do. By automating assessments and penalising people in error, the government was effectively penalising people for accessing a legitimate benefit, one they had created themselves.
Australia’s Labor without U would be ‘right’ at home in Nicaragua.
Dictatorship in Nicaragua confiscates convent of sisters it abducted and expelled
Dictatorship in Nicaragua confiscates convent of sisters it abducted and expelled
Ha ha.
Serves ’em right for nurturing nthe Sandinistas in the first place.
Reverse onus of proof and life destroyed … Albo wasn’t the least bit bothered when it happened to Bruce Lehrmann.
And this is the part whose hacks and tools in the Victorian ‘justice’ system reversed the onus of proof on Cardinal Pell. According to Victorian Labors two most senior hand-picked judges, ‘proven beyond reasonable doubt’ really means only ‘not impossible [for them] to imagine’ – if you’re an enemy of the revolution like Pell, that is.
Yes, the malice of the “hacks and tools in the Victorian ‘justice’ system…..”
