Abbott cuts loose a few more hangers on
Dec 22^nd, 2013 at 12:48pm

Good stuff Grin

The Abbott Government has announced funding cuts of $10 million over four years to the nine State and Territory EDO offices. These cuts threaten to shut down legal services for local communities who wish to protect their environment, State and Territory Environmental Defenders Offices (EDOs) warned today.

SUNSHINE Coast Institute of TAFE has lost funding to build its health and social wellbeing learning precinct.
The Federal Government in June announced a $46.8 million contribution for the TAFE's $63 million precinct at Kawana.
But the Abbott Government withdrew that money yesterday.
The money was part of the Education Investment Fund, which has ceased its regional priorities round, saving the government $187.4 million over three years.

The biggest blow to Indigenous funding was to legal aid - $13.4 million will be taken out of the sector over the next four years.

I should hope not, he saved the aussie taxpayer that exact same amount for every week he was in office over many years, reward for effort, Swan should be given a maccas voucher for his services.

I see they are now after the Disability Pensioners,

Dont worry all you arsehole Liberal Old Age Pensioners you will be next!

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Good grief, you're delusional! See how much the school halls program was rorted? The government was in many cases paying contractors 125% higher than normal, halls were built where new toilets were badly needed and some of those halls were either too big or too small, canteens were unusable. That's just ONE example.
