Our delightful govt once again has apparently failed to understand possible consequences of their changes.
75 provider contracts end on Xmas eve & one supplier will have to let go all 47 workers who run the programme. This govt doesn't seem at all bothered by numbers of people put out of work due to their policies - perhaps they've failed to realise that all of those now without work will be among those to have to cope with their harsher welfare conditions.

But then perhaps their aim is to be a one term govt.

"Govt by the cruel".

I don't think Sam's best pleased; can't say I blame him & he's far from alone in this. Well done him for sticking his neck out & criticising this govt.

I read the headline and had a serious WTFAF?? moment

I Am Hope and Gumboot Friday campaigner Mike King is defending his claims that “alcohol is the solution for people with mental health issues” and says medical research proving it is linked with suicide is a matter of opinion.

Clearly barking mad, the idiot Taliban have now decided to prevent women from hearing the voices of other women.

I vote every last country in this world band together, invade Afghanistan & free women, instead imposing all the restrictions now applying to women on them, for 5-7 years. 
Which should be sufficient for them to gain an understanding of cruelty & injustice.

Good morning, folks.

I have this HiLook Security camera installed for almost half a year and it worked pretty well, both the browser and phone App for Android work OK.

I updated the App the other day and I can't access the cameras!  Uninstalled and Re-installed to no avail. Very little info from the user manual.

Watched and followed a few video from Youtube, but not much help.

Shouldn't have updated it, silly me.   Too late though.

Can anyone here help?

According to the Labour party some groups are shut out of funding because they're required to have $250,000 co-funding. That seems extremely bizarre.

Fairly obviously, the detective in charge now believes the motivation for taking off with the kids is because he no longer has custody.
