role of RBA

Printed in The West approx 14oct24

In China the government cuts interest rates in an effort to stimulate its economy.

In Australia our government washes its hands of all economic responsibility.It's not our fault, say the politicians.

How long will we blame the RBA while our elected politicians sit on their hands.

As long as the RBA sets interest rates, the government should at least set the targets for inflation and unemployment.

clean up our society

a man bashes his female partner. in this rare case the man actually goes to jail for his repeated crimes. in jail he burns his bedding then is let free on a suspended sentence. against the odds he is put back into jail.

while in jail he phones his partner. threatens her with further violence until she is afraid to continue her charges against the man.

do we really want men like that in our society? do we want violence, repeated violence and threats of further violence?

No. remove the scum from society.

bring on the death penalty.

who can't handle the truth?

Biden says that China is behaving aggressively. He may be old and doddery but Biden can still see and say the bleeding obvious.

Meanwhile, our own PM continues to cower down where he can kiss the chinese commercial jackboot. Like most Australians the PM puts money ahead of dignity and freedom.

And the cash-driven press reports Biden's comment as "embarrassing".

learning at uni

Mario Rapanaro, Letters 21 Sep, misses the point of the Curtin student protests.

Most students are at uni to learn, to gain an education that will help them in their future working career.

The key protesters however are at uni to gain skills and experience in self-promotional bulldust, rabble-rousing and  control of mindless mobs, to help them in their future careers as politicians.

Many elected politicians proudly state that they began as "student activists". Any cause will do. All that matters is to gain a visible profile.

a new Beetle?

robert drewe writes, 21 Sep about Bertie Beetles. He describes them as "a chocolate-coated bar" I'm sorry, but what are they coating? My memory is of a shaped lump of choc, the same all the way through.

Has Drewe ever seen a Bertie Beetle?

pot and kettle fake news

The West is having fun with its attacks on the ABC over the faked war crimes story

Yes, it's bad. Faking evidence to make a better story.

Even worse than Channel Seven which, earlier this year, named an innocent man as the Sydney shopping centre stabber.

At least Ch7 did not fake any evidence. They just accused with no evidence at all.

pipe dream nightmare

the WA government has allegedly brokered an "agreement" over the pipes which regularly burst in new houses.

it seems to be a typical government agreement: the builder disagrees. the pipe manufacturer disagrees. home owners were not consulted.

so while the Cook government is jerking off in the corner, home owners are having their new homes destroyed.
