show respect

Our Premier clearly does not want anyone to know that he is buying his own private NRL team.

Show the man some respect. Allow him the privacy that he clearly wants.

Never mention the B##rs in your paper.

No mention of games, of results, of players.

See who is first to call chicken.

offensive poster

There's a poster displayed all over SCGH:

it's  okay to ask if I've  cleaned my hands

>>no it's  not!

The poster is encouraging patients to question the professional standards of nurses. encouraging patients to be offensive to the highly trained nurses.

If you have a problem with standards of care: provide a formal feedback mechanism -- to nursing management -- so that your concerns can be dealt with. Without a direct attack on a nurse.

Also on the poster:

your health is in my clean hands

It would be more positive -- and possibly helpful for *some*patients to have:

>>your health is in *our* clean hands !!

olympic politician

Here I was, thinking that Kate Chaney was simply a typical "teal politician." with no platform, no policy, no loyalty except perhaps to her semi-anonymous backers.

Today's paper reports that she is a "serial back-flipper -- in a swing seat --  who could not be trusted".

With those flipping skills, she could be our next Olympics gymnastics champ. Go Kate!

false housing crisis

we encourage first home buyers to "enter the housing market"

politicians throw money round to make the first house purchase cheaper.

all this does is to encourage investors.

we need to define housing as being property for living. and remove all government funded support.

yes. in particular, remove negative gearing from property for living.

the owner can still have a profitable investment, earning rent.

this will remove the artificial price rises of investors using property to offset profits from "real" investments.

over time,market forces will bring prices of living property down. to a level where it will be affordable for people who want a property -- or an investment -- for people to live in.

as property for living prices fall, rental prices will also fall.

basil blind to perth

zempilas, opinion Point 9 certainly has a strange view of perth's "unique origin story".

he has thrown out the kebab sculpture. the WA designed and built collection of WA rocks mined in WA.

To be replaced by the dancing spaceman. a sculpture designed and built by an American. a reminder that we should dance while we enjoy a stay at a articular Caribbean resort.

what will basil choose to represent all of WA? 

perhaps the rather large shark sculpture from the same resort?

insensitive, perhaps, but at least it is appropriate.

Sister Kate

an indigenous group has identified a Sister Kate's Cottage as a centre of a stolen generation.

now, 40 or more years after the cottage closed. the group has gained ownership of the cottage.

from here the normal process would involve a demand for an apology and millions of dollars "compensation". Because cash is a great cure-all for any emotional, spiritual or cultural hurt.

but no!

this group want to sit and talk... and heal

the old people will tell what it was really like.

the 

young people will tell what it was all for.

the aim is to gain healing and n understanding.

good on them.

it sounds brilliant.

I hope it is beneficial.

the US under Trump is doing things with tariffs which may affect the profits of Aus businesses.

so aus politicians remind US politicians of the years of strong us/aus friendship, and ask for special allowances to be made.

and in the name of that mutual friendship, qhat will aus do for the us?

well... same as last time -- we will take advantage of the us concessions and misuse them -- to our own advantage.

AI images

Kate Emery is worried that AI image generators will "reinforce dangerous stereotypes"

Is Emery really that ignorant?

An AI generated image is, in simple terms... an average of millions of images harvested, or stolen, from the Web.

The AI uses images which seem to match the user's request.

Try a simple Google search for, innocent child. The first few dozen images will match the stereotype that so scares Emery.

That's because the stereotypes are already there -- in our Web. In our societal attitudes. -- and in theway that we label and identify the images which are available for every item on the Web.Its all in the way that we already label Web images.

Now search for Australian family. Again, Google returns the most common images. Add the word indigenous and guess what? Google returns images of families with dark skins. because that is how the existing images are labelled.

sense and Spackman

at least one political candidate can see and speak the obvious truth.

children fail to go to school so they learn nothing.

the kids' only option is to live with the drunk and disgusting relatives. then follow the  family and friends into crime, to get some food.

a Fitzroy Crossing elder has said much the same.

where alcohol is banned, cannabis is cheaper. cannabis suppliers also supply meth.,, meth suppliers commit and encourage crime.

Then there is Isaacs. A member of the stolen generation... dragged forcibly away from the shithole of 

indigenous misery.

Isaacs is educated -- and now has a very well paid job.

... thanks to his "stolen generation" removal.

our premier is happily shouting insults and kissing arse on behalf of his billionaire mining backers.

Other politicians offer cash bribes -- but never take any actual action.

Please promote Spackman. He is an honest candidate who can recognise and state the obvious truth.

Give me the chance and he will get my vote.

meritocracy

Hello Kate,

It's good to read that you are against  hiring staff just because they are "the most familiar".

You are also "social affairs editor.

So you are well and truly aware that a business is a "social" organisation.

As such... employees will find it easier to work with people who share their understandings. Language, in particular. Also standards, such as honesty, willingness to offer and accept bribes.

Now look at your own social circle: Are you maintaining your preferred standards?

Are your close friends 51/49% male, female?

Do you tell family members that you are going on holiday with a group of Afghan refugees because you are enforcing standards of diversity.

Do you regularly go to lunch with well-spoken foreigners because your familiar school friends do not correctly balance enforced counts of public diversity?

Or does your support of enforced diversity apply only to other people?

school lunches

Eat Up is a charity which provides free lunches for hungry school children.

a filling lunch could be 2 or 4 slices of white, or fancy, bread. coated with peanut paste.

by my calculation this charity pays $30 per lunch,

 really?!

how much does this "charity" scrape off for its own profit?

and the parents who cannot afford a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut paste each week? would it be possible for them to stop smoking?

oh. and the "charity" is expecting the government to provide future funding... five times as much.

he did this with support from a very clear policy: MAGA

if I were American, I would definitely support MAGA.

also, maga is a true policy.

2... every Trump action and decision is in support of his maga policy.

at least, in support of trumps own understanding of great.

his policy is very... anti-woke

...and I can support plenty of his ideas.

for example: build the border wall. 

keep out tor throw out he thousands of people who simply walk in.

rights to blame

do not blame police for the floreat murders.

police are not allowed to lift a finger until an actual crime has been committed.

action against a planned crime would infringe the rights of the criminal.

should the police have watched Bombara?

Bombara and every other potential DV killer?

how many potential DV murderers would the police have had to watch that day?

even being watched is not allowed... because our society so vigilantly protects the rights of every criminal.

are you actually innocent? then you have no rights at all.

innocent people walk in fear. surrounded by thugs, murderers and rapists.

daughters, brothers, rich lawyers may cry crocodile tears after the murders.

too bad.

until the murders were committed, Bombara was protected by his rights.

We need tochange our laws.

allow police to take action on strong suspicion.

protect the rights of victims - and potential victims- rather than protecting the rights of criminals.

tourism WA mis-management

Does Evan Hall really expect good support for tourists from the idiots at tourism WA? He needs to look at the tourism wa website.

the theme is walking the dream.

supported by an app

... a movie

a driver who never walks.

the app never shows anywhere to *walk* the dream.

there is a rally car that drives at high speed through the centre of the dream.

tourism WA spend millions on a theme.

Probably millions more to film a race car driver.

and are too stupid to match the app to the theme.

and far too stupid to understand what a real tourist actually needs. tourism WA staff have clearly never been tourists.

check their travel

...it will always have been "as the special guided and pampered guest of" 

... well, probably as guests of the various companies which are then paid to bring unwanted acts to WA.

the only sign of good sense from tourism WA is that they refuse to tell anyone how much they pay the acts, in return for the blatant bribery.

of course anyone can now declare themselves b to be "feeling" like a new non-specific gender   and get to the head of the job queue.

there's even a Perth woman who wants positive discrimination in favour of women going through menopause.

or should that be, people who feel that if not for their actual gender, they could well be menopausal.

additive errors

then The West messes up the report. with a graphic of,  use this but not this, of identified brands. 

eg

use Mainland Buttersoft but not westernStar.

two problems: we looked in our fridge.  neither product had the named nasty additives. that could be timing, the products could have been improved. 

major problem:

Western Star is butter.  ingredients are cream and salt. 

the other product is butter-- with Canola oil.  to make it spreadable. the two are *not* equivalent...

if you want butter, buy butter. 

butter plus canola is *not* the same product

while they are doing that,  10000 will barely cover their rent. 

not that they will find anywhere to rent. 

warning 2:

produce a movie of a racing car driver on a road trip. 

the closest he comes to a bush trail is a high speed rally car race along a dirt track. 

the Wine Trail -- another road trail -- is mentioned

so where are tourists expected to *walk* ??

two news items

The paper labels a plane crash off  Rotto. as horror. 

yes, it's horrible. people die and I'm really pleased when I read that others did survive. 

in a completely different story:

a woman buys a child's nightie from Temu. it's cheap and pretty and is given as a present to a granddaughter. 

now I know that Temu is a market,  not a manufacturer. 

Asian manufacturers sell and deliver to Australians via Temu.

The role of Temu is to market... to offer discounts and bonuses so that buyers will buy more of the products for sale. 

because delivery is direct to Australia -- the manufacturers are able to bypass -- or ignore  --all Australian safety standards

In this case they ignore fire safety standards. 

t the granddaughter wore the nightie. 

was hit by sparks.  the nightie went up in flames. 

a young girl now faces a lifetime of plastic surgery. 

a grandmother now faces a lifetime of guilt. 

to me,  that story is a real horror. 

I still trust planes and flying.

Commonwealth Electoral Legislation Amendment Act 1983

Make Australia Day 29th Sep each year.

Then we can all relax and enjoy the long weekend.

universal VAD

VAD must always be a freely available choice.There is no reason to follow the demands of Joe Said.

Said claims to represent a vindictive god creature. which enjoys the suffering of human beings who could otherwise die in relative peace.

Rather, we need to extend VAD as a free choice for anyone.

There are teenagers who are forced to suicide rather than face more time in jail.

offer these children a considered discussion of VAD.

Or take the far harder -- more humane -- option of providing the children with a life which is worth living

... while it is still possible
