Labor government achievements

In relation to our article Mainstream media fails to mention positive labor policies

Reading Jenny Hocking’s article about positive achievements of the Labor government, I couldn’t help but think that perhaps one of its positive achievements has been to make it easier for criminals to hack into the my.gov.au site and steal the money of pensioners.

Last year on 7 November, my Centrelink account was hacked and my aged pension was stolen. By contrast if I were to take an extra dollar from Centrelink that I was not entitled to, I could be certain that I would be caught. But the hacker can be sure that he will never be caught . He can remain in a state of tranquillity and enjoy the money he has stolen while I bear all the consequences of his actions, including increased anxiety and depression from which I already suffer.

Perhaps that’s one of the positive achievements of the Labor government: making it easier for criminals to hack into powerful government computers and steal social security money destined for Australia’s most vulnerable people. I suspect this would not have happened under a Liberal government.
