  • As a jobseeker (I am studying but do not qualify for austudy), this is foul. How come IT issues with mutual obligations don’t immediately ping against the payment and prevent cancellations?

    They treat us like scum, with no regard to our individual financial situations. We’re labelled as “dole bludgers” and written off by the vast majority as saps on society. Then this happens and we can’t pay rent, pay our bills, pay our school fees (whether our own or our kids), buy food or pet food, pay for public transport or petrol or rego. Yet we aren’t given consideration or understanding from the public, just that we should “suck it up” and “just get a job”.

    I feel great empathy for those affected by this, and am saddened by the lack of regard for our wellbeing. I look forward to what the reviews find and suggested outcomes reccomended by them. Though I am not so naive to believe this will change anyone’s perception of our place in society.

    Never said diverse viewpoints have to be removed, just that calling Seagoon defensive is out of line considering the context, which you seem to just gloss over in favour of being antagonistic towards her. She’s not being defensive, she’s giving context ffs.

    Have your opinion, didn’t say you can’t, but that perhaps you are being downvoted because you obviously lack the nuance and empathy that a day like today calls for.

    Edit: loving how you gloss over this part funny that

    “Think about what that means for women, LGBTQ+, and POCs, and every person who didn’t vote for Cheetolini.”

    Have some empathy? You’re 17, not 7. You can stop and think about the DTers in here who have stated they have family in the US, and are scared about a Fascist Dictator and his Tech Whore ruling the most powerful country on Earth for (at least) the next four years. Think about what that means for women, LGBTQ+, and POCs, and every person who didn’t vote for Cheetolini.

    Can you just stop for a second and fucking think about the people here? This place isn’t just your echo chamber, it’s for everyone. And considering you haven’t stated you have friends or family there that you’re scared for, maybe just wait until tomorrow to shit on US citizens ey?
