Labor looses attack dog

we are not allowed to discuss the "voice vote"

One politician says that he will argue for No.

A nervous and defensive Labor party is instantly on the attack.

Out comes Patrick Gorman, with a tirade of personal insults: He is miserable. selfish. Negative. Old fashioned.

Labor is afraid of debate. they insist that any honest discussion must instantly be attacked.

What are they afraid of? Are they afraid of the truth... that we have still not been told what we will get for a yes vote.

tell me an ending/Jo Harkin

Tell me an Ending

by Jo Harkin

science fiction

not read in March 2023

rated ##/10: can't be bothered

i read a few chapters. boring.

no characters of any interest.

hints of the main character having some secret. hints that some other character, who does not appear, has some secret.

a badly designed building. really?

you know what? i don't care. there is nothing in this book that makes me want to read any further. so i stop reading.

lesson lost

more than 80 years ago, John Steinbeck wrote Of Mice and Men.

it is a story of a man who is not capable of fitting in with the casual contempt and cruelty of society. finally he goes too far.

his best friend gives him the mercy of a quick death.

today there is no such mercy for Terence Kelly. only revenge.

he will be locked away to suffer.

our society is too cowardly to kill a person who has been labelled as "evil" and as a "monster".

Worse yet. "experts" have identified causes which contributed to his behaviour. And signs that a child was becoming a monster.

Yet there is no suggestion that we should deal with the causes. Before another monster is created.

i have no sympathy for his actions.

but we are diminished by the cruelty of our revenge.

daddy owns a paper

Nice to see the paper reporting on kids enjoying the mining expo. What kid would not enjoy the simulated digging of big holes with big machines. Matched, I guess, by clear-felling of native bush. And blowing up of historic caves. All great fun.

And the photos of kids being impressed by mining magnates.

It certainly shows them that power and success belongs to heavy, old white men. Especially if daddy is rich.

So very inspirational.

dirty business

BGC has stopped selling new houses. As a result, up to 100 sales people will lose their jobs. Good riddance.

These are the same sales people who have spent years selling building services which the company cannot supply. 4,000 unbuilt houses. Sold by people who put their own interests before those of the customers.

Next, sack the managers who continued to pay sales commissions.

Then close the company doors. They are clearly either criminal or incompetent. Unfit to be in any business.

priorities

Good grief. Australia allows foreigners to settle in Australia under a "distinguished talent visa".

We don't need health care workers. We don't need builders. we don't need police or teachers.

What we need is quick entry for sports players.

Really?

Bryce Cotton is not good enough to play Olympic basketball for the US.

Delays in his citizenship meant that he could not play for Australia. Oh how sad.

But not to worry. He is supported by Wildcats lawyers who continue to pull strings, look for loopholes and shortcut due process.

All to get a "distinguished talent" into their money-making sports team.

Why not spend money to support good Australian players.

The McGowan defence

ex Pres Trump is troubled. It's alleged that he paid Stormy Daniels -- porn star -- to keep quiet about their alleged affair.

Trump should dismiss the charges as insignificant.

In the words of our esteemed Premier: It's just a Stormy in a f***ing D-cup.
