Dodgy real estate agents and landlord’s hiking up the rent

Slick Agent

AS everyone should be a ware, the ‘housing crisis’ was installed on the good people of Australia by the federal government, where this information is available in other articles on this site.

As a result of this so called ‘housing crisis’ real estate agents together with landlords or rather rental providers are exploiting the vulnerable and profiteering from this government created crisis with little reaction from the regulating authorities.

We have obtained information from an anonymous source that exposes this blatant profiteering.

A Melbourne suburbs rental property that was rented via a real estate agency was rented for a weekly amount of $380, which was fair for the condition of the premises also given the low quality area it was situated in.

Soon after when the next time the property came up for rent again, the price was raised to $500 per week, an action that should be under the allegedly watchful eye and intervention of by Consumer Affairs Victoria.

An increase of $120 or 31.5% per week falls outside of the acceptable limit.

- Will the authorities step in and ‘regulate’ this?

- Will real estate companies (in conjunction with rental providers) keep ripping off people without any consequences?

At the end of the day it’s BAU (Business AS Usual) at the expense of the serfs/plebs.

After all back in the good ol’ days if one was a renter or woman, one had no (electoral) voice, just as the Commonwealth intended, despite the fact that Sir William Blackstone already put pen to paper on the Absolute Rights of Individuals in 1753, a precursor to what we know as ‘Human Rights’ today.

Australia the human rights breaching fascist state, disguised as a democracy.

The lies of the printer consumables industry

The manufacturers of printer consumables namely ink or toner have been lying to their customers for quite some time, similarly to that of vehicle manufacturers claiming their alleged fuel economy, which is totally different from real world conditions, where nothing has been done about this for decades.

Pretty much all manufactuers falesly claim that their product will print xxxx amount of pages, where this 'false advertising' has not been addressed en masse in the courts in order for the manufaturers to correctly state how many pages can realistically be printed out.

Somewhere in the fine print, people may spot that this quoted number is in accordance with a so called ISO standard, where this no doubt passifies the unsuspecting victim of fraud.

According to the ISO standard the yield is calculated at 5% print on a page.

How does this 5% look like?

A4 page at 5% print

It, the page yield, gets even worse when a colour picture or or graphics are added to a page.

Will anything be done about this?

Judging from what has been done in the past, most likely not as this may be seen as a first world problem.

But, but it's corporate fraud!

Centrelink’s service degrading over the years and they don’t care

A ‘trend’ in many industries, be it medical or welfare and to a lesser extent retail, is that customer service is going downhill, period.

Customers/clients/recipients are now forbidden to complain, about the poor service they must endure, as a result of signage when one walks into a premises that states that no ‘aggressive’ behaviour will be tolerated.

The operative word there is obviously aggressive, where this can be interpreted as the customer not being happy that he/she cannot get through as a result of a poorly installed phone system or as a result of the staff not being bothered to answer the call.

The federal government’s welfare system under not one name but many guises from a true government department, that being the DSS (Department of Social Security) to businesses under the label Centrelink to now ‘Services Australia’  has been deliberately failing vulnerable Australians over the decades.

One of the more recently publicised so called ‘failures’ (which was deliberate by design) was that of ‘Robodebt’, where many vulnerable recipients committed suicide as a result of government extortion and unlawful demands, remembering the ‘Towards Zero’ road campaign in Victoria, where the so called modus operandi is that if it just saves one life it’s worth it.

At the end of the day, the government hates [financially] poor people, as they are a liability and not an asset that brings in the tax dollars for the coffers of those in government and keeping their precious 'economy' going.

Also the government wants/needs an unemployment pool where control over the population is wielded where full employment is not on any government agenda.

An interview with a person who works within what is now called ‘Services Australia’ has unearthed some abhorrent practices and attitudes towards welfare recipients.

“We just don’t care about the people calling us” stated the source, further mentioning that staff regularly hang up on the person on the other side, because the staff knows that they must call back later and hopefully the same call centre person will not be ‘bothered’ by the caller.

It’s like some sort of sick abuse of power.

What many callers are oblivious to is what the source stated next, that being the source bragging saying that “You should see what we do”, mentioning that during a call, a staff member will put the caller on hold giving the impression that the matter is being looked into, but the staff member is going for a toilet or a ‘smoke’ break, or even for a full lunch break, further emphasising the ‘care’ factor, that being not caring if the caller hangs up, hoping that another staff member will take the call as allocated by the computer system.

MANY people are pushed to the edge, when it comes to dealing with the welfare business, where the more vulnerable ones, e.g. recipients of Veteran Affairs, truly do not have any remedy in sight, where some may make a rash life altering decision as retaliation to a (deliberate) toxic system.

When the source was asked to put this information ‘on the record’, a laughing response was given, which was followed by a sarcastic remark of how the government treats whistle blowers.

The best way to deal with this is anonymous document dumps, laughed the source.

Poor behaviour and performance is now being normalised or excused with signage that warns customers/consumers/recipients that can be interpreted that ANY form of complain can/will be seen as abusive where police will be called and the (alleged) assailant charged with a criminal offence.

Victim blaming at its best, what to expect from a fascist government.

That’s life in a new age colony.

Feel free to type in Centrelink in the search bar to find more articles that have been mentioned in the public news media. 

Imagine how much more information is deliberately hidden, which is technically in the public interest, as it is the 'public' that funds these organisations in effect being stakeholders.

Robodebt mainstream news headline a lie?

You can never be disappointed when it comes to the mainstream media's 'click-bait' articles, after all it is their 'bread and butter' to sell you 'news' or rather entertainment.

At face value, the article states that welfare "debts" were wiped, giving the reader the idea that people or rather the legal term being 'persons' had a debt with the corporate entity (as opposed to a deprtment, but that's another story), and now it has been absolved / forgiven.

The so called debt had no lawful basis whatsoever to exist under, and therefore was only 'alleged'.

Carefully chosen words by the mainstream media, in order to keep the govenrment happy to allow them to keep their broadsting (propaganda) licence...

Let's just say it how it is, that being a huge government initiated fraud against the vulnearable section of the community, i.e. welfare recipients.

Was there EVER an ATO (Austrlaian Tax Office) "robodebt" against tax evading multinational corporations conducting businesss in Australia, e.g. Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, just to name a few in the I.T. sector.

Australia the lucky country colony of the corporate slave.

Uber confirms "cybersecurity incident" and covering up 50m customer's and 7m driver's data breach in 2016

Uber confirms "cybersecurity incident" after 18-year-old claimed to be behind massive breach

It's unclear whether he accessed customer data

What just happened? Uber is investigating a cybersecurity incident that has compromised many of its internal systems, giving the hacker, who says he is just 18 years old, almost complete access to the company's network. The breach is thought to be as bad as or worse than the 2016 incident that exposed the details of 57 million customers.

The New York Times reports that the hacker used a common social engineering technique to access Uber's systems. He sent a text message to one of the ride-hailing giant's employees claiming to be a corporate IT person. The worker was persuaded to hand over their password, granting the perpetrator access to Uber's network.

The hacker provided screenshots of Uber's internal systems to the NYT as proof of his successful attack. He told the publication that he is 18 years old and had been working on his cybersecurity skills for several years, adding that Uber's weak security prompted him to compromise its network.

Once he had access, the hacker sent a Slack message to employees that read: "I announce I am a hacker and Uber has suffered a data breach." It listed several compromised databases and appeared to call for Uber drivers to receive higher pay. Uber took its internal Slack and engineering systems offline earlier today as it investigated the breach.

Sam Curry, a security engineer at Yuga Labs who corresponded with the hacker, said the person has full admin access to Uber's Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud services. "It seems like maybe they're this kid who got into Uber and doesn't know what to do with it, and is having the time of his life," Curry said.

In an official statement, Uber wrote: "We are currently responding to a cybersecurity incident. We are in touch with law enforcement and will post additional updates here as they become available."

Besides his age, little is known about the hacker, though it's speculated that he is British; an employee said he used the word "wankers," and he may go by the username 'teapots2022.' He also accessed Uber's HackerOne vulnerability bug bounty account and left comments on several report tickets.

The breach is being compared to the 2016 incident in which the names, email addresses, and phone numbers of 50 million Uber customers, along with the personal details of 7 million drivers, were stolen. Uber paid the hackers responsible $100,000 to delete the data and stop the incident from becoming public knowledge, and it concealed the breach for over a year. The company had to pay a $148 million settlement for the hack and its failure to disclose what happened.

Rogue T-Mobile store owner found guilty of illegally unlocking phones in $25 million fraud

"Illegally unlocking" - whatever that really means.

Your hardware, your choice.

Law made to the detriment of consumers, for the benefit of corporations.

See article:

A former T-Mobile store owner was found guilty of breaking into the wireless provider's internal system allowing the rogue businessman to unlock and unblock smartphones. The illegal activities took place from 2014 to 2019 when 44-year-old Argishti Khudaverdyan unlocked phones from T-Mobile and other carriers' networks allowing those buying the handsets to use them with other network providers.

The scheme took in $25 million in ill-gotten revenue for the defendant and his partner

This hurt mobile carriers, many of which give huge discounts or give away free phones to customers who agree to be locked into their networks for years. Khudaverdyan also unlocked phones that carriers had blocked after they were reported stolen or lost. The guilty verdict was announced by the Department of Justice in a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California. 

T-Mobile was one of the carriers that got ripped off in the scheme

The 44-year-old, Khudaverdyan, who lives in Burbank, California, was found guilty last Friday of one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, three counts of wire fraud, two counts of accessing a computer to defraud and obtain value, one count of intentionally accessing a computer without authorization to obtain information, one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, five counts of money laundering, and one count of aggravated identity theft.

Prosecutors said during the trial that the scheme generated $25 million in illegally attained revenue as removing blocks on these phones allowed them to be sold on the black market. Khudaverdyan unlocked handsets that had been locked to T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint's networks. He and a partner co-owned Top Tier Solutions Inc., a T-Mobile store in Eagle Rock Plaza, Los Angeles.

T-Mobile terminated the contract it had with Top Tier in 2017 because of Khudaverdyan's suspicious behavior and unauthorized unlocking of phones. He advertised his illegally unlocked phones through brokers, email, and websites including "unlocks247.com." While promoting the illegally unlocked phones, Khudaverdyan advertised them as being official unlocked T-Mobile phones.

Khudaverdyan will be sentenced on October 17th and could end up with a long stretch in jail

Unlocking these phones allowed T-Mobile customers to use other carriers costing the company revenue from service contracts and equipment installment plans. To access T-Mobile's internal computer systems, Khudaverdyan tricked T-Mobile employees by using phishing emails to trick them into revealing information. These fake emails looked so much like legitimate T-Mobile correspondence that the employees passed along their sign-in credentials allowing the convicted felon to break into T-Mobile's computers.

Khudaverdyan also elicited help from overseas call centers to receive employee credentials. Armed with this information, the bad actor then called the T-Mobile IT Help Desk to reset the employees' company passwords. This gave him access to the T-Mobile systems that he used to unlock phones. More than 50 T-Mobile employees had their credentials stolen and hundreds of thousands of handsets were unlocked during the years that this scheme was active.

Sentencing will take place on October 17th and Khudaverdyan will face statutory maximum sentences of 20 years in federal prison for each wire fraud count, 20 years in federal prison for conspiracy to commit money laundering, 10 years in federal prison for each money laundering count, five years in federal prison for each count of intentionally accessing a computer without authorization to obtain information, five years in federal prison for the count of accessing a computer to defraud and obtain value, and a mandatory two years in federal prison for aggravated identity theft.

His partner and co-defendant, Alen Gharehbagloo, 43, of La Cañada Flintridge, already pleaded guilty on July 5th to to three felonies: conspiracy to commit wire fraud, accessing a protected computer with intent to defraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. He will be sentenced on December 5th.

No Jab No Social Security?

Social Security is a polarising topic for many Australians at the best of times, where these days it can be more contentious.

Once it was called the Department of Social Security, then Centrelink and now Services Australia.

What's in an name change, right?

Well, a lot more than what people are led to believe, but that's another topic altogether.

We've obtained information from within, with regards as to what the #ScottyFromMarketing administration is planning to enact in approximately 5 months from now, that being August 2022.

Many people should be aware that in pop culture, the (United States) constitution is mentioned or rather emphasised as lot, when it comes to the actions of authorities against the citizen population.

In Australia, the story could not be more different, where even if one actually refers to the legal founding document of the colony Australia, then one gets ridiculed by e.g. police, or even other administration staff.

People should be aware now of the 'tricks', enticements, blackmail and most importantly unlawful 'requests' used on persons in order for them to succumb to a medical service.

There's No Jab No Play, No Jab No Job, No Jab No Pay catch phrases that people are being forced into.

What the federal government is planning to employ in August is that a person will not receive social welfare payments unless that person has succumbed to a particular medical service.

There are a fair few problems with that.

One is that Section 51 (xxiiA) of that 'law' called the Constitution, forbids the Australian Government from providing medical and dental services in such a way as to oblige persons to accept those services.

The so called medical service that one must accept cannot be called what it is, as it does not provide the functions of what it's referred to as.

Proof does not exist that the follow up medical services that have been cleverly labelled as 'up to date' are factually effective.

Social modelling shows that when the safety net of welfare is taken away from the general population, criminal activity increases.

Therefore if/when this is enacted the people in government want more criminal activity to occur.

The authorities e.g. the police within the continent, in Western Australia and across the Tasman, in New Zealand are challenging the so called mandates and are having them nullified, whereas the general population must succumb to that unlawful request.

The general population do not comprehend the reality they live in on this continent.

While people are told that they live in a 'democracy' here, they certainly do not live in a 'free' society, as alleged elsewhere.

The actions are what's important, as opposed to what is being 'advertised' to you.

Australia, still being a colony enforces 'penal colony policies' where now during the events of the past two years have put the government into a totalitarian régime.

The very thing that the police have fought for, the general population is being beaten and assaulted for.

Grandmother being assaulted by Victoria Police during a peaceful Melbourne march.

Make no mistake Australia is a police state.

'Update' to Windows 11?

VERY briefly,

So the software manufacturer tells you that you must update your operating system to Windows version 11 from whatever other version of Windows you are using.

So what are you actually updating?

A more 'modern' UI (User interface)?

Rubbish!

Arguably, one of the best user interfaces was the one within Windows 7, with the Aero/Glass look for menus, program windows etc.

Then when users 'updated' to Windows 8, Micro$oft said that the new interface was a more 'modern' approach, but in reality it was a lie.

The 'simple' theme combination was so that the newer less powerful tablets could display menus in a relatively short time frame, something that would not be possible with the Windows 7 interface.

You must have the latest version of Windows as it more secure?

Well that's very arguable point, which for the purpose of this post will not be discussed.

One reason that you 'must' update your Windows version is to generate a multi billion revenue stream for M$.

M$ can make the older versions of Windows 'secure' quite cheaply, but chooses not to.

Another reason for you to update your version of Windows is something that M$ does NOT talk about and want you (the home user) to know about is data collection or something called telemetry.

One of THE most important things (to M$) your 'updating' is M$'s telemetry on you.

With every new version of Windows, M$ embeds more data gathering programs into the operating system where they become harder to remove with each new version.

Irrespective of whether you're a corporation or a home user, the use of Windows 11 is not recommended for quite some time.

The time frame depends on when hacking and network security programmers have isolated all the telemetry actions within Windows 11 that can be counteracted or even extinguished, where a couple of years would easily not be out of the normal.

In the meantime products like WPD (Privacy dashboard for Windows), Dism++, O&OShtUp10, and a modified hosts file and firewall would be recommended to keep more of your private information from M$ servers, with regards to your non-Windows 11 PC.

‘Shameful’ robodebt scandal ends with $1.7bn settlement

Nothing really happens until you take the corrupt government to court.

'Shameful' doesn't really cut it, but corrupt would at least more appropriate, as the government was still trying to obtain falsely claimed debts from people after being caught out:

The ‘shameful’ robodebt chapter has come to an end. Picture: Jerad WilliamsSource:News Corp Australia

Victims of the botched robodebt scheme have won a major victory against the Australian government over the “shameful” chapter.

The automated commonwealth scheme dubbed “robodebt” matched tax and Centrelink data to claw back welfare benefits the federal government claimed had been overpaid between 2015 and 2019.

The government agreed to pay $112 million in compensation to people who it claimed owed them money based on the flawed debt recovery scheme, with a Federal Court judge approving the settlement on Friday.

“The proceeding has exposed a shameful chapter in the administration of the commonwealth social security system and a massive failure in public administration,” Federal Court Justice Bernard Murphy said in the judgment.

The scheme wrongly hounded more than 443,000 people for $1.7m in welfare debts most never owed after the government switched to the flawed system.

Labor’s Bill Shorten slammed the scheme. Picture: NCA NewsWire / David CroslingSource:News Corp Australia

Since the start of the legal action the government promised to refund $751m of “invalid” debts people paid and drop claims for hundreds of millions more.

Justice Murphy said the group of Australians who found themselves in need of government supports included many who were marginalised or vulnerable and could be ill-equipped to understand or challenge the debts.

Melbourne nurse Felicity Button was one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit and had $11,500 taken from her account to pay off a debt she never owed.

The 33-year-old mum couldn’t pay for her daughter’s antibiotics after the money was taken out of her account in 2017.

“It was horrendous,” Ms Button said.

The nurse rang the debt collection agency and begged them to give her back the money so she could buy her daughter’s medicine and have fuel for her car.

“I honestly didn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel,” she said.

Ms Button received youth allowance while she was studying and working casually in 2016 and believed she was wrongly hounded for the funds. She is relieved the long legal battle is finally over.

“It’s sad that it took five years and actually quite embarrassing that it took five years,” the nurse said.

Those responsible for the scheme should have known that income averaging based on data from the tax office was an “unreliable basis” in which to raise and recover any debts, Justice Murphy said.

Liberal Minister Linda Reynolds apologised for parts of the program. Picture: APH via NCA NewsWireSource:Supplied

“Given a choice between a stuff-up, even a massive one, and a conspiracy, one should usually choose a stuff-up,” he said.

He said the government should have ensured it had a proper legal basis to raise and recover any social security debts.

It caused financial hardship, distress and anxiety to a “great many vulnerable people” and resulted in a “huge waste of public money”, Justice Murphy said.

But the government did not admit liability as part of the settlement but agreed the scheme was unlawful.

The opposition’s government services spokesman Bill Shorten slammed the scheme that targeted people who were marginalised and vulnerable.

“I have met with families who believe that the pursuit of the unlawful debt against a loved family member triggered them to take their own life,” Mr Shorten said outside the Federal Court in Melbourne.

He called for a royal commission into the scheme and for those who were responsible to be held to account.

Peter Gordon said it was a ‘rough form’ of justice for some involved in the class action against the federal government. Picture: NCA NewsWire / David CroslingSource:News Corp Australia

“No senior public servant has lost their job, no minister has lost their job.”

The founder of the legal firm who took on the lawsuit, Peter Gordon, said those wrongly labelled cheats and who contemplated suicide might feel the settlement was a “rough form of justice”.

He said it was a win for his clients, and Gordon Legal would begin allocating compensation that could range from hundreds of dollars to thousands per person.

Amounts would depend on what was wrongfully taken from people and the length of time the government had the cash, Mr Gordon said.

Despite the settlement getting the court’s approval, hundreds of people involved in the class action objected to it. Those objectors will be able to opt out and bring their own individual claims against the government.

Treasurer Josh Frydenburg said income averaging had been adopted under former Labor prime minister Paul Keating and rejected calls for a royal commission.

“When it comes to recovering debts, it’s a very difficult situation. This process of income averaging had been adopted by previous governments of both political persuasions,” he told reporters on Friday.

It comes as Government Services Minister Linda Reynolds apologised for how the program was administered.

“Clearly, this has been a very difficult process for all involved and we apologise for the way aspects of this program were administered,” she said.

Greg Hunt provided false information with no apology or consequences

If any ‘person’ was able to get Greg Hunt the current federal minister for health into a court room, to testify, that person would be hailed as a miracle worker, where that would be unfortunately in vein as Mr Hunt would be classified as an unreliable witness.

What’s also quite bizarre is that the mainstream media reported on his lies, even though the severity of this may not have been comprehended by most.

At the end of the day you cannot trust what they tell you, as there are zero consequences from their lies.

Murdoch’s ‘news’ empire lies in your face

The worldwide push for corporations to obtain more data from people via the use of smartphones and more importantly apps is overwhelmingly oppressive without any shame and in the process deceitful.

Due to the so called ‘news’ ban in Australia for data collection Goliaths Facebook and Google, other corporations have jumped on the bandwagon in deceiving  users.

One of the least personal data generating ways one can view the so called ‘news’ publications is via a web browser on a personal computer, which is attached to a VPN or via an anonymising web browser.

Governments and corporations do not want you to conduct ‘business’ on the internet in this manner, so they lie, deceive, entice or ‘force’ you to use apps on a smartphone.

Rupert Murdoch’s corporation stated that there are ‘only’ 4 ways to obtain content from it, as shown in screen capture below.

This is false information.

What was (deliberately) not mentioned is the fact the content can also be viewed within a web browser on a smartphone or personal computer.

Using an app on your smartphone gives the corporation more access to your private and personal data, irrespective of what permissions/switches you may think you have disabled.

WARNING – Do not download the new COVID app

The Victorian government wants you to download the new COVID app and you should not do it!

The previous app was a total failure where the government stated that the source code was given but in reality core components were hidden from the public not making total transparency as you were alluded to.

The app failed in its core advertised function, that being to detect and communicate with regards to people with alleged infections.

This new app is another ‘failure’ that the government wants you to download or purchase ‘purchase’ (with zero dollars exchanged) where data gathering non related to COVID is the sole purpose.

Apps can and do contain malicious code outside of the advertised function that works to your detriment.

DO NOT download this app!

Another useless app, 'money for mates' job that cost Victorian tax payers how much?

Centrelink sends ‘your’ data to Google unnecessarily!

What’s in a name change? Plenty. The Department of Human Services becomes ‘Services Australia’

You are enticed/pressured/not given any other option, to use government services via a smartphone app, rather than in person, over the phone or via the service provider’s web site.

There is a reason why they are pushing you to use the app.

Because Google then sells data generated from the app, where the app producer profits from this.

Mobile communications is not private nor secure, where this is another topic with many subsections, discussed elsewhere.

The ‘Australian Government’ assures you that ‘your*’ data is safe, which realistically it cannot do.

It also states that the data is protected by privacy law.

There is a huge problem there, where first of all you must be made aware that your data has been compromised, which can be covered up quite easily by your ever so honest government corporation.

You then have to make that allegation in a court of law and then prove it, no easy task there, even with a whistleblower as your sworn in witness.

With any interaction with a government service provider, one of their first directions is to tell you to download their app, but is that really safe for your privacy?

Let’s take a look at the example of Centrelink's app.

From the above screen capture of the app, the ‘Department of Human Services’ is responsible for the app, but today it no longer exists. It’s ‘gone’.

In any event the DHS programmed the app in such a manner that information from your smartphone travels to Google and Dynatrace.

So the more tech savvy will have the excuse that it’s anonymised, or unidentifiable user data, blah blah blah, but at the end of the day the data does come back to your ‘person’ via something called device fingerprinting.

So, could the Department of Human Services have programmed that app to be independent of Google, Dynatrace or any other entity?

Of course!

DuckDuckGo compiled their app without ANY trackers.

So you wanna sue the ‘Australian’ Department of Human Services?

Good luck!

* - 'Your' data is another topic in itself, not discussed here at this point in time.

Government enacts law to capture real-time data

Centrelink, has caused many people harm, and even death in certain circumstances under an action dubbed robo-debt, where the name can allude to no ‘legal person’ taking responsibility for such action.

The reality is that the so called government was previously warned that this action is unlawful and should not be taken, but instead Centrelink still carried out this unlawful action against vulnerable people of dependence on government financial support.

In a ‘normally’ functioning country one would think that after a federal court stating that this action is unlawful, the business would then refund the stolen cash from people.

Since Australia is not a country but factually (still) a colony, no unlawfully taken cash will be refunded to the serfs, but rather they must take a class action lawsuit to recover their costs, where we know that since lawyers (etc) do not work for ‘free’ it’s another win for [a part of] the system.

As a result of the Centrelink fraud, the government installed a new law, which people may think is for the benefit of those harmed, but instead it's another ‘win’ for the authorities in obtaining more data and controlling the movements of the general population, not just those on benefits.

"That means a person’s income data from the Australian Taxation Office will be automatically uploaded to the government system so bureaucrats can double-check figures."

Just a reminder:

With every new law enacted, your rights, privileges, benefits and services are being eroded.

Will you ever wake up and do something about it?

Government logic; Electricity down, call us re your cashless card

Things are done differently in the land called ‘down under’, a colony of the Monarch who is currently having issues with Her insubordinate grandchild (PMSL).

The colonialists (in government) have this mentality from their ancestors that stems back to 1788, where the population at large is considered to be criminals, either past present or future.

With the advent of electricity, it became easier to ‘administer’ the convicts where today a cashless society (Indue welfare card) is being imposed on the serfs, for the cheaper and quicker ‘administration’ of those pesky tax slaves who pay the taxes large corporations dodge.

The colonialists who have limited mental capacity (see picture below) ‘forget’ that with the lack of electricity, ‘cashless’ terminals do not work, where it is generally accepted that you cannot call your local welfare ‘business’ to spot (lend) you some cash’, noting that mobile tower and landline exchanges have limited offline electricity run time.

See text version of article from 9 Jan 2020 of the by sbs of the headline:

Calls for people on welfare in bushfire-affected areas to be exempt from cashless card 

Welfare agencies say people in bushfire affected areas need to be able to withdraw cash, but the government says no one relying on a cashless debit card has been impacted by the disaster.
Updated 4 hours ago, By Rosemary Bolger

Anglicare Australia has called for welfare recipients in bushfire-affected areas to receive their payments directly, rather than have to use the cashless debit card.

In places where the cashless debit card has been rolled out, 80 per cent of a person's income can be stored on the device, known as an Indue card, preventing purchases of alcohol and gambling.

One of the trial sites is Ceduna in South Australia where bushfires triggered a power outage to 25,000 customers on New Year's Eve.

Anglicare Australia executive director Kasy Chambers said it was unrealistic to expect people to rely on the card in areas where the power has been cut.

"People must be able to get essential supplies to live and adapt in the wake of the bushfires. With the power out and many outlets closed, people must be able to withdraw cash," Ms Chambers said.

But a spokesperson for Social Services Minister Anne Ruston said there had been no impact on terminal availability in trial sites as a result of the fires.

"The department continues to actively monitor the situation and will ensure that cashless debit card trial participants have access to their funds should there be an emergency situation in any of the trial sites."

Other trial sites in East Kimberley and the Goldfields in Western Australia, and Hervey Bay in Queensland are far from the bushfires.

Anyone travelling to bushfire-hit areas is encouraged to call the cashless debit card hotline for assistance.

Earlier this week, Centrelink advised people on the cashless welfare card to call them if they have been affected by fires. 

Ms Chambers said that’s not good enough.

"With the power out and phones unavailable, contacting Centrelink is just not an option for people in the thick of the crisis. The card must be suspended indefinitely."

Ms Chambers said Anglicare had been contacted by several people, some who had been visiting friends and families in bushfire-hit regions, who had had problems using their cashless debit card.

"It's really an inconvenience at best, huge difficulty at worst on top of an already chaotic situation when you haven't got access to pure cash to buy food.

"This is an extreme example, but it does bring home that real inconvenience and lack of dignity."

On Monday, one social media user asked how someone on the cashless welfare card was expected to feed their family.

"Are they just expected to die?" they tweeted.

In response, Centrelink said: "If anyone is in that situation, they should let us know."

The government has deployed mobile service centres to the NSW's South Coast and East Gippsland in Victoria to assist Centrelink customers in those bushfire affected regions.

On Monday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that job seekers in fire-affected regions would be exempted from mutual obligation requirements for at least two months.

A spokesperson for the Employment Department said they were working to implement appropriate arrangements and to identify areas in which they will apply.
