Use your Voice

Blak people already have a Voice to Parliament. It's called "the right to vote". Use it.

And if that is not powerful enough then you need to form a Blak political party to directly and democratically support your aims.

Look at moi

Basil Zempilas writes that our state premier is dismissive of the Commonwealth Games (Opinion 29/7). Well, no wonder.

This is the premier who paid a republican crony to do nothing while "representing" the ever-popular Queen. Who closed state borders -- but only when it was by popular public demand. Who reduced regional voting power because he was not popular out of the city.

Regions, Queen or Games, the Premier fears anyone or anything more popular than he is.

Even if the Commonwealth Games are "just a luxury" they are popular. And the Games are far better than the traditional international pissing competition, War.

bugger all freedom

Kate Emery is absolutely correct (NRL hypocrisy,27 jul)

Tolerance and acceptance are not good enough. NRL players must be forced to visibly support everyone anywhere on the gender spectrum. We must throw out any pretence of allowing freedom of religious views.

It is no longer enough to treat everyone equally. Visible support must be enforced.

When being queer is compulsory, will Kate allow us to choose our partners?

who to shoot

An opinion piece in the paper says that we should not shoot the messenger.

When our flight is cancelled we should not abuse the flight staff. They did not cause the problems. they cannot fix the problems. And it's a fair point.

When covid hit and people stopped paying for hands-on services the first response of senior managers was to sack all staff who provided the hands- on services. You know, the now ex employees who did the actual work. Now we are starting to fly again. And there is noone to load the planes. There are no engineers to keep the planes flying. So of course flights are cancelled.

It's the fault of short sighted managers who sacked everyone below their own exalted power level.

Don't blame the few visible staff. Blame senior managers. They don't care. They still collect their multi million salaries. Plus bonuses for effectively reducing costs. They are well protected behind impenetrable walls of money, power and influence.

But don't shoot the messengers. They are doing their best. Anyway... Their own company will soon shoot them. In the next round of cost -- and service -- reduction. All in search of the next undeserved management bonus.

Mines before Meat

thank goodness our state government knows exactly what it will do to prevent for and mouth disease in WA.

what will it do?

absolutely nothing.

after all, there are no state royalties from Meat. The disease will not stop mining. and the government has already reduced the voting power of the people who may be affected.

it's win win win. for the government, anyway.

bad language

when i send an email i use words. mostly English words because English is my language. i hope that readers will be able to understand my words or, if they don't -- they can use a dictionary. i hope that what i mean is the same as what is understood by the reader.

then there are emojis.

i could say 😇

what does it mean? i have no idea. there is no agreement on the meaning of emojis. it's like the movie nude tuesday -- gibberish. noone ages on the meanings. there is no dictionary.

I'll stay with English.

not a charity

I used to think that organisations such as Foodbank were charities. you know... kind people giving of their time and effort in order to help other people.

as a charity they would be unaffected by pay rises. After all, people giving freely of their time always have a fixed cost of zero.

silly me.

Foodbank is a business. with managers and employees. no-one works for nothing. it's not a charity.

If no-one wants to pay for the service then the business fails then the business closes. end of story.
