The liberals have short memories, the last boom, remember the one before the GFC, was basically fed by China. If this is the best you can put up as a budget reply you will be in opposition for a while yet. Of course, PEAK OIL, coupled with our love of growth, expansion and unlimited consumption [...] Continue reading Mining boom caused by China? Sadly the Abbott reply to the budget was very well presented but sadly very lacking in any solutions. Just asking for an election will not get him one, no matter how nicely he asks. I guess the advantage to being in opposition is that you do not actually have to carry out what you say [...] Continue reading Tony just doesn’t get it. All will be revealed. Seems to me that an awful lot of energy is being used (and possibly abused) over this single irrelevant issue. How far have we sunk? IMO the are a number of reasons Labor will win the next state election and some of these are 1 – What opposition, there isn’t one. 2 – Does not appear to be a policy in site, with the number of things going bad in NSW there must be at least one policy advising how [...] Continue reading How Labor can win in New South Wales Seems it needs a “bail out” because it has so much debt. The bailout has been approved and has increased Irelands debt substantially. It now has to find an additional 7 billion euros to pay the interest on the bailout it has just received. There is a chance it will need another bailout to help [...] Continue reading Ireland Labor stacking NBN committee, Opposition says Not real smart are the Federal opposition – are they? They were given an invitation to participate and decided quite vocally that they did not want to be part of hte process, now they are complaining they are not part of the process. I really thought Turnbull was smarter [...] Continue reading Labor stacking NBN committee, Opposition says A quick look around the internet will find enough nuts to feed everyone. As surely as the sun circles the Earth and man is omnipotent it can be seen that in the fullness of time – all will be revealed. Praising God in the flavour of your choice and being as One with the universe will be your only salvation while we continue to suck the well dry. The spammers and automated content feeders are really giving this site a hammering. Perhaps they need a real job? It has been a sad day for NSW with the removal of the gross feed in tariff that has applied to solar panel installs by individuals. I have always applied the adage that when those who stand to profit most by a decision come out and applaud that decision then they see themselves as winners. [...] Continue reading Progress does not equal consumption + development + markets + growth In the fullness of time – all will be revealed Independent MP Andrew Wilkie has called on the Prime Minister to allow a conscience vote on gay marriage, with an opinion poll today showing four out of five Australians support the move. The Greens have introduced into the Senate a bill which would allow gay and lesbian couples to be married. But Prime Minister Julia [...] Continue reading Wilkie calls for gay marriage conscience vote They sound like a couple of kids who just want to pick up their ball and go home? Tony is showing that he will not be around much longer as he cannot control what and when he says things, he is starting to sound more like Chris Pyne. He made a stupid comment about the [...] Continue reading Do they actually get it? The sun is trying to shine, the waves are rolling in across the bar and life is good. Port Macquarie – it is the centre of the universe. I have found that no matter what or where I am the opportunity to blog, while a worthwhile exercise (perhaps) in itself, is easily subsumed by the multitudes other factors of life that pop up. Throwing a stick for the dog is one that easily comes to mind, or perhaps even putting out the bin [...] Continue reading The Gentle ART of blogging Spent a few hours listening to the Liberal Party Lack of Policy launch. With a distinct lack of any substance and a mantra of rethoric that stressed that the Liberals were not the labor party it quickly became apparent that Tony Abbot has lifted his speaking game and now appears more confident – this is [...] Continue reading This election is getting worse……………. The election polling must be causing concerns for labor as it appears that Julia Gillard is going to act more like herself and to show people what she is really like. This is an interesting development as by this announcement she is telling us that she has not been herself for quite a while? We [...] Continue reading Julia Gillard to be herself………… Recently had the joyful experience of selling a motor vehicle online. Did all the google stuff, listed the car on a few Australian websites that sold cars (and some that didn’t) and waited for the rush. It was a bit slow off the mark but I got a couple of genuine enquiries and happily dealt [...] Continue reading WANTED – Marine Engineer Politics is an amazing animal? Over the last 2 weeks both leaders have managed and changed their style to reflect the mood of the press (and of course the Australian people). Tony’s voice has changed considerably, he has toned down, he is speaking slowly and with emphasis (perhaps this stuff is written down somewhere?). It [...] Continue reading The ART of changing leaders. An amazing picture of bland sameness. A rehash of the last week, so I guess this is about all we will get for the rest of the election leadup? When we needed words, ideas and direction we get spin and soft voices devoid of passion. Where are the visionaries and leaders when you need them, [...] Continue reading Leaders debate After a few good rides and a bit of luck Cadell Evans is looking good in the tour de france. All we need now is for the commentators to recognise it is a race and things can change very quickly before they get all hot and sweaty about the chances of him winning To [...] Continue reading Cadel Evans in the up? Once again our political leaders are letting us down by embarking on a fear campaign in relation to asylum seekers. While I am sure that most would prefer that the boats were not coming to Australia this does not mean that the passengers on these should not be treated fairly and with some respect. Good [...] Continue reading The Politics of Fear >/dev/null 2>&1 Appended to the end of the string will stop email notifications being sent every time CRON runs. Excellent thing to have if your CRON runs every 15 minutes or so |
