COMMUNICATIONS Minister Stephen Conroy has defended the massive cost of installing television set top boxes in the homes of pensioners.
He admitted it would cost taxpayers $350 per installation and that each box would cost just $50-$60, double the cheapest available in electronics stores.

Re: The next labor waste program
....and what is your problem with this? Are pensioners never to receive a relevant benefit from their Government, especially one which addresses what is likely to be their sole source of news and entertainment? Without the box, no TV.Jubial Priest wrote:http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/now-it ... 6052859810COMMUNICATIONS Minister Stephen Conroy has defended the massive cost of installing television set top boxes in the homes of pensioners.

And as for double the cost of the cheapest. Why ought pensioners be provided with crap gear at taxpayer expense? Surely, if a benefit is to be given, it ought not be an el cheapo likely to fail quickly. That would defeat the whole purpose of the scheme.
Re: The next labor waste program
Just another example of the waste and mismanagement of this govt. Watch every installation come in at $350-$400 whether cabling or an aerial is required
Another classic example of waste and yet another lefty defending the indefensible
No wonder the country is $50bn in the hole while noddys like yourself are giving them impetus

If that happens, it likely will be corrupt righties doing the rorting....but my point is....you cannot blame the Government for the conduct of a cheat.Jubial Priest wrote:Just another example of the waste and mismanagement of this govt.

I noticed you did not bother to address my questions.Another classic example of waste and yet another lefty defending the indefensible ....
Seems there are lots of 'noddys.' Do I hear Abbott/Turnbull bitching about this iniative?No wonder the country is $50bn in the hole while noddys like yourself are giving them impetus
Re: The next labor waste program
The classic lefty excuse for when the govt fucks up with their programs. Why not give give centerlink clients free access to the bank vault and tell them they should only take their benefit? What then? Oh it's not the govts fault the CL clients took more than they should?but my point is....you cannot blame the Government for the conduct of a cheat.

I can blame the govt and I fucking will. You can continue trotting out excuse after excuse after excuse and I will continue to label you a fucking moron, because they are at fault and you are a fucking moron
Re: The next labor waste program
What have we heard from Abbott/Turnbull about this initiative, Jubial? Do they wish to deny Pensioners of what is very likely their sole capacity to access news, sport, and other entertainment?Jubial Priest wrote:The classic lefty excuse for when the govt fucks up with their programs.

Re: The next labor waste program
I don't need Abbott or Turnbull to tell me that this govt is in the habit of pissing money down the drain, but give it time. The govts incompetence will be exposed yet again soon enough and you can bluster your way through another excuse for this piss poor govt
