"A GP said Mr Wright was unable to sit or stand for long periods and his condition sometimes prevented him from speaking" Is this what they call nowadays episodic? I can see hockey and the rest of the rotten dogs screaming to the word their "episodic" mantra.

The laws coming in place will impact on Unemployed and DSP. If you are 30 and under theres 25 hrs if 31 to 49 then its 15 hrs and if you are over 50 then its 15 hrs volunteer or training... all this while they ARE NOT paying the participant anything. Therefore they can not attend as they have no money, none participation gets you kicked anyway. A war is what Abbott is trying on giving the language he and Bishop are using in regards to Russia and the Ukraine as well as in UN. I am not saying they shouldnt be using strong language but they are boarding on inflammatory and that helps no-one. All I can hope is my house sells and we can move at the time

Up to 15,000 staff to vote on Department of Human Services strike over pay
Up to 15,000 public servants in the government's biggest department are to vote in the bureaucracy's largest ever industrial ballot as their union urges members to strike. The Fair Work Commission granted consent on Tuesday afternoon for the ballot of Department of Human Services staff over an increasingly bitter wage dispute. Bosses at DHS, which runs Centrelink, Medicare and the Child Support Agency, are desperate to avoid strike action and will be urging a "no" vote when the ballot is held in late October or early November. Do you know more? Send your confidential tips to ps@canberratimes.com.au The FWA decision gives the union, the CPSU, the go-ahead to ballot 15,000 members at DHS to authorise strike action. Other disruptions could include flouting office dress codes and ignoring managers' emails and phone calls, "re-queuing or transferring customers" or defying scheduled break times, as well as disrupting $150 billion in Centrelink payments and the $29 billion that the department pays out annually through Medicare and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. However, the Fair Work Commission has ordered the union to give five days' notice, instead of the usual three days, of any disruption to the department's call centres. A department spokesman said on Monday that he had nothing to add to the DHS comment on Friday that it was disappointed the union had decided to pursue industrial action. Public Service Minister Eric Abetz urged the department's staff to vote "no" to strike action. CPSU national secretary Nadine Flood said her union's members had a legitimate right to take industrial action. "Staff don't take this action lightly but they've been pushed to the brink by an employer that wants to cut their rights, remove their protections around super and then insults them with a pay offer that will see them go backwards over the next three years," Ms Flood said. "Human Services has led the charge to attack staff rights in line with the government's aggressive bargaining position. "The staff of Medicare and Centrelink are working mums and dads on average wages, just trying to do a good job serving our community." The dispute between the department and staff escalated after management put a below inflation pay offer on the table in July worth, at most, 1.18 per cent per year. The proposal also wants rights and conditions stripped out of the department's enterprise bargaining agreement and requires public servants to work longer hours. DHS bosses dropped a plan to hold a snap ballot on the proposal a few days later in the face of angry opposition in workplaces, blaming union intransigence. Negotiations have stalled ever since. The dispute is being monitored across the 160,000-strong Australian Public Service as DHS is the only major department to have made a concrete pay offer. More than 116 department and agency workplace agreements expired in June. However, across the service, negotiations have stalled with bosses unable to come up with "productivity gains" tough enough to satisfy the Abbott government's hardline public sector industrial policies.

Department of Human Services has been without CFO for over a yearThe Department of Human Services (formerly Centrelink) has been operating without a Chief Financial Officer for almost 18 months and dozens of other senior executive positions have also been vacant for long periods of time. The positions are worth a cumulative $400,000 and include two second-tier management positions that are yet to be permanently filled, as well as another 16 executive level jobs, a department spokeswoman confirmed to Fairfax Media. Adding to the department’s woes, associate manager Ben Rimmer left last month after completing a Harvard University training course that took $10,000 out of the public purse. Labor's human services spokesman, Senator Doug Cameron, told Fairfax he's concerned about what this could mean for client outcomes. "Not filling key positions is detrimental to service delivery, sound policy development and is further evidence of the government's ideological obsession to outsource and privatise," he said. The Department, which will now be overseen by former Immigration Minister Scott Morrison, says it is working to fill the positions. "Arrangements for some of these positions are currently being considered, and several positions will be filled or advertised shortly," the spokeswoman said.

I wonder if they will fill the positions with Liberal front and back-benchers that are found to be dual citizens?

I was asked today, if they get the boot and there's a by-election, can they run again for the seat after a quick renunciation of the naughty overseas connections?
