    There's some stuff not quite kosher about the 'interview'
    Why is everyone,including the interviewer, referring to Israeli's and not Jews..doesn't make sense.
    You can be an Israeli without being Jewish.
    Are the nurses going to kill Muslim,Catholic,Hindu or other Christian Israeli's?

    Plus there's some very obvious editing that raises my eyebrows.

    I hope the cops have a proper look at the interviewer as well as the nurses.

    Sorry to heard Steve.
    A few years ago, I had a similar incident.

    I suspected my card was scanned when I used it in Bankstown..cut the long story short, the bugger used it for an iPhone $1600 and applied for a loan and bought $14k worth of Ikea furniture
    Once you received the notification from Iphone of the purchase, it's too late. I called them immediately but nothing could be done. It took a long time to resolved this via police report etc..
    To date, I can't get a credit card as the bad 'loan' is against my record..

    SPERS in QLD is an absolute rip off !!

    I had a direct debit going to these c**** for driving over the Gateway bridge and getting nabbed by some **** on a bike hiding behind the guardrail, boo hoo for me

    So I enter into a SPER payment sytem, set it up with my bank account for $60 each month and the bank didn't send my January payment so I get a letter from SPER arseholes saying the payment arrangement has been cancelled and now I have an additional $78 registration fee added on to the original amount and if not paid by March my license and rego will be cancelled

    So now I'm held responsible for the bank debit not going through ??!!

    And people wonder why I ****ING hate cops and everything associated with them ...... wouldn't stop to piss on them if they were on fire !!

    What happened to those three cops that smashed me (at 66 years old !!) into the pavement in Surfers ?? NOTHING !!

    Told they were in the wrong by the Southport magistrate, then told due to legislation the maximum I could get from civil court was $15k but would cost me $45k in fees ..... very fair system

    I'd have got over $1M in the US and the cops would have been fired, but not here, these c**** can continue on blissfully loving the fact they are untouchable ........ have I said how much I ****ING hate the cops ??!!!

    And what did I get done for the other day, 65 in a 60 zone, which just happened to be a 6 lane hwy, FMD, go pick on some other poor c***

    WTF will they do when I'm gone soon, run on 10yo tyres ??? :p

    It's not paranoia if they ARE actually after you !!!

    I've set my cruise control for 5 kph below the speed limit as I want to leave my kids SOME money

    Words fail me over the whole article, but when you see something like this sentence it makes you wonder who is in charge..

    “In year 5, Acknowledgement of Country can be used to teach 10-year-old students about binary coding in computing.”

    What you lot fail to understand is that the "additional" public servants are the additional police, nurses, teachers, doctors, etc that make up the public service.

    There is ALWAYS whinging about shortage of doctors and nurses to look after you and your family but in order to address the situation ou need to hire more of these poeple thereby ADDING to the public service

    Maybe we should just delete the RFDS and let Angel Flight take over, I'm sure Elon Musk would approve

    Or maybe let UBER take patients to hospital instead of those dreadfully wasteful ambulances staffed by overpaid paramedics

    I'm all for abandoning the outback regional services by letting Rex die, **** 'em, they're just right wing ****ing lunatics that hate LAB anyway so why bother ??!!

    The National Party have ALWAYS been as weak as piss, the LIB party stands on their heads like a soapbox and has NEVER done anything for them other than throw a few scraps like Gladys did for her Wagga mate

    Most people, me included, think of pencil pushers doing SFA to promote the welfare of this great country but the reason our health system is one of the best in the world (and unfortunately I'm finding out just how good it is) is because we keep investing in new hospitals with more doctors and nurses and wardies, pharmicists, pyschiatrists (which according to my partner in mental health are in great shortage), and admin staff to make it all work in some manner.

    Is there wastage ?

    Of course, just ask Greg about the cost hospitals pay for MRI machines compared to the private industry as an example but on the whole if the population is increasing and living longer then you need more staff (public servants) to manage the situation.

    These knee jerk Trump simplified statements are just ill thought out running off at the mouth ........... your son is dying, you want help, not enough doctors, no medical insurance, you need to rely on the public system (I'm in private) full of public servants

    I doubt Musk or Trump will help ramp up the medicare or whatever they will call it tomorrow in the US, I feel for our allied brethren there , Musk is just a Boer war reject living off govt subsidies for Tesla, SpaceX and Trump is enabling him to position his companies for even bigger profit

    Maybe they need to divert some funds from the war machine

    I was actually only referring to DOGE in the context of getting rid of the people that think you can teach computing by referring to acknowledgement of country.. but I can see how my statement could have been taken in the larger trump context.

    All that graph shows is that Biden failed on health care.

    No wonder they voted in Trump to fix things up. :p

    We absolutely need the 'additional ' public servants. Unfortunately, when you leave it to governments (and Labor has been great at this) they tend to employ 3 or 4 pencil pushers for every person who actually does something constructive, like save your life. The public service, both state and federal, is long overdue for a purge.

    Actually, as graphs go it is a pretty stupid one ....... dates , percentages would help

    From my personal experience over the last 20 months of exposure to the health system (private coverage admittedly) I have nothing but admiration for most of it.

    My first result of a CT scan was rubbish (said I didn't have cancer) but thanks to Greg that was corrected and it's been very reassuring to have Greg review my results and my Peruvian oncologist has done exactly as needed when I get a second opinion, a man keeping a close eye on my travels through the system

    Apparently nil gas leaking.

    "The New Mexico Gas Co tested lines in and around the home, and the Fire Department found no signs of a carbon monoxide leak or poisoning. "

    Whether the heater was tested........
