    Centrelink is VERY under-resourced !!
    Sorry if this repeats; wanted to stress: the LNP tried to destroy Centrelink/effective pensions.
    The LP MUST adequately resource this essential service. Most of the ‘front-of-house’ staff are great! BUT NEED Help: more resources.

    “Shadow Indigenous Affairs Minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price” 2nd most ‘trusted’ – really?
    Led by Spud, she torpedoed the wishes of the vast majority of Indigenous people – for her own political advantage. VERY DISAPPOINTING !

    1. Because life – including driving – is becoming more and more stressful;
    2. Because governments, for decades, have ‘chickened out’ – won’t make your licence a ‘privilege’ rather than a ‘right’.
    80% of drivers consider themselves ‘above average’ but most are ‘habit drive’. Hence they are NOT good drivers. Those (few) who ‘work it out’ become ‘thinking drivers’ and hence are more capable of avoiding the idiots and emergencies.
    The UK commenced ‘advanced driving’ courses in the 1930.s.
    Aus tried in the 1960.s – Society of Advanced Motorists – but were actively ‘discouraged’ by politicians in the 1990.s.

    “a relatively low-stress job” – not really. Many drivers ignore safety and ‘instructions’; its quite stressful and sometimes dangerous.
