Macklin is reinstituting the ‘permit’ system with even more restrictions for journalists than existed under the old regime.It’s old Labor supporting the “misery’ industry.No wonder the recent Wakely award winner returned his journalists ‘Nobel’ in disgust

Yet another cheap dishonest shot by a News Ltd jurno. It appears there is a small group in that organisation who make it there business or their “brief” to throw dirt at anything that appears to be Labor. This latest attempt to discredit Ms Macklin stinks

CDEP is not (aka) “work for the dole” . Participants are paid more than the dole and receive accredited training on the projects, it is a more enlightened and more beneficial program that “work for the dole.”
