drug fuelled

the "sporting" competition " that allows and encourages use of any performance enhancing drugs "ignores decades of medical evidence".

so too does bare-knuckle and cage fighting.which the government pays to operate in WA.

plenty of people find deliberate violence to be entertaining.

some would love to watch Perth coliseum fights to the death. perhaps followed by burning of the losers on a cross.

it entertained the Romans, why not entertain us?

too many lawyers

a review into an enquiry into the death of a child in hospital (sandipan.)

questions are raised: was there bias because the reviewer was friends with the enquirer?

we are far too used to these reviews etc being done, by lawyers: people who will support only the side which pays them.

we are now unable to believe that a person may honestly represent what they believe to be the truth. without being paid for that belief.

crime prevention

coercive control may be the root cause of the Floreat murders. It is only part of the problem.

Ariel Bombara did her best to prevent a crime. She may not have realised just how serious the crime would be. Ariel warned the police. That was the best, the only, action she could take.

and then the police -- by our long-established laws -- were not *allowed* to take any action.

Police can act only when a crime has been committed.

Before crime, police action is severely limited.

we need to give police power to act in prevention of crime. yes, police state, I hear you cry.

we need to give police power to act to prevent crime.power which does not evolve into a police state.

not easy... but necessary.

pedantic or correct?

I like to use exactly the right word or phrase Though I expect that most readers read the meaning and don't care about weak phrasing.

In the paper today an Opinion writer offered his "sincere condolences".

Why the word "sincere"? If the condolences were sincere, why double-up on the sincerity?

If the condolences were *not* sincere, why mention them in the first place?

productivity

the editorialof 20 May

 blames anything and everything for a "productivity slump".

a business may take an action, or buy an asset, worth $100. then they do everything possible to spend twice as much on that action or asset. the extra $100 is claimed as a tax deduction.

the government encourages this actual loss of productivity with a discount to payable taxes.

in reality it is extra cost which -- in the arithmetic of accounting -- has doubled cost and halved productivity.

both government and business encourage over-spending -- in the name of gaining tax deductions.

this is why actual productivity continues to "slump".

remove the threat.

Joel Cauchi took weapons to a NSW shopping centre

where he stabbed and killed several people.

Pre-meditated murder.

He was then killed, good. Now there are arguments over, why.

Was he psychotic?

A woman hater?

Drunk or drugged?

Having a bad day?

Who cares: he killed people and now he is dead. Good riddance.

Do we -- society -- really want to live with killers in our midst?

he is(was) . guilty of murder. 

If he had survived I would say -- . Now take him out and shoot him.

The "why" is important to help prevent other nutters from becoming killers.

Cauchi has proven that he can -- and has -- killed innocent shoppers Without (or even with) a clear "why" he is a continuing threat.

Now we remove him from society. Quickly and permanently.

Either that or we accept that any one of us could be killed at any time.

No thank you.

political loyalty

the Libs have elected a new party leader.

Voting has barely closed when party members call for the party room to unite behind the new leader.

They do this because political loyalty lasts only until each politician spots a faster opportunity for self-promotion. Even at the expense of party (and leader) betrayal.
