At The Movies: “It Follows” Movie Review

Well TB, I’d only point out that it’s the submission of the union that so many ALP barrackers were supporting.

Don’t you remember that my criticism of the ALAEA was proof that I was anti union, and that (apparently) I was making it up when I said there was a deep rift between the ALAEA and other unions.

Where are they now? I should pop over to Miglo’s site and remind them that THEY WERE WRONG!

That chap could be up for a few expensive vacations if that’s the only documentation he tries to use to get into most countries. He wouldn’t be able to leave the airport.

Do we say “boo” to the union (ALAEA) for –
*opposing Joyce
*supporting “free market unionism

…or

All the other engineering unions for –
*reaching an agreement with Qantas without disputation
*opposing a free for all in coverage
?

Perhaps an illiterate f**wit will explain which of the union positions should be supported

I can understand people having this perspective, but I don’t imagine he seriously expected the travel document to be treated as legitimate.

When the government forced lenders

I think you will find that those government loans had no issues with them. It was when the banks saw that model and applied their “laissez faire capitalism” to them that issues arose.

Unless you have evidence to the contrary 😉

and that (apparently) I was making it up when I said there was a deep rift between the ALAEA and other unions.

I don’t think that anybody disagreed that Unions are forever in a fight over “turf”.

And this submission just looks like a continuation of that fight.

Laissez faire superannuation?

Tom R – ”And this submission just looks like a continuation of that fight.”

That’s true, but this didn’t stop many of the crowd of elderly and mindless ALP/union barrackers (many of whom are well known to you) from –
• Barracking for the ALAEA in the dispute with Qantas
• Denying that the ALAEA didn’t have the support of other engineering unions
• Equating criticism of this union with a general anti-union orientation

If only that crowd hadn’t self banned, they would be here admitting that they were WRONG and really had no idea.

The restructure of Qantas is showing dividends now. The turnaround was never going to be overnight or even over a single year. Good for Joyce.

The ALAEA are/were like the pilots union of 25 years ago, they occupy a critical but very narrow area of coverage and they don’t give a crap about other unions and their members. Their self interested, long term and disruptive campaign had to be addressed as part of the restructure. Their campaign was to inflict operational and financial damage (and cause delays to passengers) without suffering any consequences for their industrial action.

But union barrackers (“Tom R’s mates”) didn’t seem to understand that the ALAEA’s attitudes were like those of the AFAP (pilots) over 20 years earlier, the barrackers naturally migrate to the position that “unions are right” and therefore attack anyone with a legitimate alternative perspective.

Here’s another occasion where they were demonstrably WRONG!
————–
Note – there is still plenty of efficiency to be harvested from the archaic work practices and inter union turf wars in engineering and maintenance at Qantas.

Not to mention the offensive tome you used to make the request. Fortunately Tom R you seem less offensive these days.

It was probably the company you kept.

OK – “tome” “tone”

Who says I never admit to being wrong!

In looking for the link, I happen to have noted that just 3 ½ years ago you suggested that I had to back up my claim that the ALAEA didn’t have the support of other unions in their dispute with Qantas.

You like taking these solitary trips down memory lane without sharing. Links that is 😉

Happy Anzac Day!

😯 🙂

As Mel Gibson once said, what’s the point of a war if you can’t laugh at it? :sarc:

Interesting Tom R that you didn’t ask Adrian (ME) for a link to justify his suggestion that it was part of Joyce’s plan to have Qantas move to Texas.

LOOK OVER THERE!

oh, it’s not a link 😦

But here’s one yomm 🙂

Something I heard on the radio TomM.

https://cafewhispers.wordpress.com/2011/10/30/qantas-%E2%80%93-i-still-call-australia-home/

Justified?

Your link isn’t working sb, but not sure how the snippet you put up supports the fact that CRA loans were not exposed or dangerous like the rolled up sub-prime ones that caused the trouble back in pre GFC were?

Well, I’ve read the CW thread

How did you manage to find it?

Oh, that’s right, linkies 😉

They are handy sometimes, are they not lolz

which station, which program?

I don’t know, why didn’t you ask him?

But there is so much on that thread and a few others Tom R

I’m not claiming there is not stupidity or inconsistencies everywhere yomm. I thought initially you were trying to prove a point about ALAEA?

But you seem to have strayed from the reservation, so to speak 😉

I thought initially you were trying to prove a point about ALAEA?

Thank you. That’s true, and in doing so I recalled the way some dills defended the ALAEA only because they were a union in dispute with a “gay leprechaun”.

They didn’t really know anything about the dispute, the union structures (in Qantas), the orientation of the ALAEA or the history of union coverage in the aircraft industry.

Of course when someone knowledgeable (such as me) attempted to help clarify these issues, the attack followed

Meanwhile, this grubmint continues to slowly bring on a “budget emergency”

there was a potential that safety would be compromised. ……….FWA were persuaded that this was the case.

I’m really going to need a link for that one yomm. And claiming you heard it on a radio probably won’t suffice 😉

None of the other engineering and maintenance unions were on side with this action

Can you list these other Unions used by Qantas engineers?

Tom R – Can you list these other Unions used by Qantas engineers?

• Licenced avionic trades (the electrical, navigation, communication and instrument stuff) were covered by the ALAEA, PREIA (though they’ve dropped off/amalgamated with PSU) & ETU
• Licenced engine and airframe trades (the mechanics of the bits that spin – engines & turbines, and the sheetmetal worker types that put the panels and structure together) were covered by the ALAEA.
• Non licenced engineers (avionic) were covered by the ETU
• Non licenced engineers (mechanical/airframe) were covered by AMWU & AWU
• Licenced engineering supervisors were covered by the ALAEA and TWU
• Non licenced engineering supervisors were covered by the TWU
• Professional engineers were covered by the APEAMA

Union coverage in Qantas is unnecessarily complicated, and is a hindrance to efficient operations.

TB – Could you explain “laissez-faire unionism” actually IS?

Read the ALAEA submission to the Productivity Commission TB. I’d not heard the term applied to worker’s collectives before, but I presume it means that they would like to have a huge and ongoing brawl with the other engineering unions about coverage, without FWA making rulings occasionally.

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome

Clint Eastwood then?

Do you have an empty chair?

#Says who boo

The same one who told us all how complicated Awards were 😉

So if you operate (say) a small to medium metal fabrication workshop and you wish to employ a tradesman to look after the machines and a few people to operate them, how do you work out their classification?

http://www.airc.gov.au/consolidated_Awards/AP/AP789529/asframe.html

Shouldn’t pay and conditions be worked out by the owner of the business

They tried that, but then slavery got abolished 😉

Of course, no technolgy is sufficiently idiot proof enough for yomm 🙂

Of course, when you are that inept, just use the one where you only select and don’t have to type 😉

So the award and classification system isn’t simple enough for people to figure out whether they are paid correctly or not.

They need some expert advice, I thought so.

whether they are paid correctly or not.

So you are happy with this kind of exploitation?

remember, without the Unions, this would go on uncovered.

And the worlds biggest threat to democracy raises it’s ugly head again.

Now what will they do with NEGATIVE GEARING …?

Unfortunately, Labor have already dumped that one in the too hard basket.

I notice nIl is still too stoopid to see 😦

a few bucks 😯

Budget Emergency averted!

…dog only knows what this review has been told to find, but we can be sure that the targets are already there, we now just have to wait for the “review” to reveal them for us…

If it’s anything like their other reviews, we already know the outcome. There’ll be an ideological warrior in charge, someone who wants to privatise the entire health system, perhaps one of the CEO’s from the private system.

Yes, susan ley, let’s just wait a year for the pre-determined outcome, would that be after the election? What was that about reviews and reports and such? Didn’t rudd gillard rudd get a pasting from abbott for having too many of them and not enough action [at least their budgets got through before the next one was due]

IMO, their polling is telling them that team abbott is up shit creek and one of the main issues is health reform/medicare. Perhaps they think this announcement will give a few % points to abbott’s polling.

#l`d suggest that`s probably a good thing

touche (or some french word like that) 😉

I do recall mentioning after the budget last year that the libs might not cop such a pasting because the real nasty stuff won’t get through, so people will sit back and go “what was all the fuss about?”

Still unsure how that will play out by the election. At the moment, the libs have suffered immense pain, for very little gain.

Thank my flea controlled dog.

This should make TB happy. I could have sworn Labor ruled this out not long a go though?

Speaking at the National Press Club, Mr Bowen said it would be “irresponsible to rule out going to the next election with changes to, for example, negative gearing”.

“I have said our principle will be 1. Do not disadvantage people who have made investments in good faith under current rules. 2. Do not risk reducing the supply of new housing or, if possible, improve the situation with the supply of new housing’,” he said.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott last week ruled out any changes to negative gearing, saying he didn’t want his government’s tax reform plans to begin with “increasing taxes”.

GST on internet for a start yabot? Weren’t you yourself spruiking that? hockey is as dishonest/stupid

“I don’t like higher taxes; I am philosophically opposed to higher taxes,” he said.

“Because if you increase taxes you’re just collecting someone else’s money.”

Yea, we know how you like protecting big corporations making off with Other People’s Money

And yabot and hockey aren’t the only ones spouting ever increasing amounts of lying bullshit, pynes getting caught out too. This time, protecting denialists funded by our grubmint (like they don’t get enough from the people destroying our planet in the first place, now we taxpayers are subsidising them?)

Coalition Set For Grilling On Lomborg Funding As Leaks Cast Doubt On Claims – See more at: https://newmatilda.com/2015/04/22/coalition-set-grilling-lomborg-funding-leaks-cast-doubt-claims#sthash.PxSz8JeW.dpuf

I saw a bit of Flannery on ABC24 last night, and he raised this very interesting point

Professor Tim Flannery, who headed up the Australian Climate Commission before the government defunded it on taking office, has questioned “why the government has decided to fund Bjorn Lomborg rather than the very eminent group within the Climate Commission”.

“To replace them with a Dane with no credibility or credentials in the area seems rather odd and I think it’s incumbent on them to explain to the Australian public why that is so,” Professor Flannery said.

A school that gets taxpayer funds no doubt…

Girls at Al-Taqwa College have been banned from running at sporting events because the principal believes it may cause them to lose their virginity, former teachers claim.
The schools regulator, the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority, is investigating the allegations, which have been referred to the state and federal education ministers.
It follows revelations in The Age last month that the principal of the Islamic school, Omar Hallak, told students that Islamic State was a plot by Western countries.

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/girls-at-islamic-school-banned-from-running-teachers-claim-20150422-1mr0io.html

Despite its softly, softly approach, Labor’s policy is an important step. A serious discussion from the major parties about superannuation tax concessions was inconceivable three years ago. Are we now able to have a sensible bipartisan conversation about measures that help the budget but are not unfair?

http://grattan.edu.au/news/labors-superannuation-tax-policy-needs-more-bite/

Going on the comments from hockey and yabot, that seems entirely unlikely. Will the media follow the libs lead, or will they call bullshit and try to have this “serious discussion”?

I don’t hold out much hope of that, going on previous behaviours.

“To replace them with a Dane with no credibility or credentials in the area seems rather odd….”

-Tim Flannery

Same goes for the morons who claimed that our cities would never see their dams full again.

What a jerk !

“This should make TB happy. I could have sworn Labor ruled this out not long a go though?”

No it wont

TB wants to follow the Loony Left’s usual path of doing it retro as he stated last week.

So much for his bullshit protestations of a few weeks ago when I accused him of such but he squealed “innocence” of the allegation.

And the oz reports as only they can, with half the story, the half that suits their agenda.

If you took the whole story, into account, the outcome would be reversed.

So we really can’t blame nIl alone for his ignorance.

Bright as a fkn birthday candle! Jockeyspeak …

Yea, it’s really mind numbingly stoopid. Where does he think taxes come from to begin with? For him, it seems it is ALWAYS Other People’s Money!

I did like this reply on twitter but 😉

So let’s look at “context” shall we sb?

SALLY SARA: What will it mean for Australian farmers if the predictions of climate change are correct and little is done to stop it? What will that mean for a farmer?

PROFESSOR TIM FLANNERY: We’re already seeing the initial impacts and they include a decline in the winter rainfall zone across southern Australia, which is clearly an impact of climate change, but also a decrease in run-off. Although we’re getting say a 20 per cent decrease in rainfall in some areas of Australia, that’s translating to a 60 per cent decrease in the run-off into the dams and rivers. That’s because the soil is warmer because of global warming and the plants are under more stress and therefore using more moisture. So even the rain that falls isn’t actually going to fill our dams and our river systems, and that’s a real worry for the people in the bush. If that trend continues then I think we’re going to have serious problems, particularly for irrigation.

Now equate that with your statement

Same goes for the morons who claimed that our cities would never see their dams full again.

So, ignoring that this is based on projections out to …….. ?? Oh, no date.

Or, is it right now?

Across Australia, CSIRO predicts rainfall will probably decrease in southern Australia, and the predictions for the south-west are especially grave where the recent drying has left empty dams and greater reliance on groundwater.

http://theconversation.com/saving-water-in-a-drying-climate-lessons-from-south-west-australia-28517

So, when you want to garble someones comments like that, don’t do it when their actual comments are so easily found.

Welcome to the future the dams are full

Tell it to Perth

And we will see just how extreme the next drought is, in “the future”

“So, ignoring that this is based on projections out to …….. ?? Oh, no date.”

Oh so that’s the preferred method of defence now……. “Oh, no date” ROFLMAO

So when 50 years, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 1,000,000 years…………..LOL……….the Climate bed wetterz just keep serving up endless humour

If I wake up every morning for the next 1000 years predicting a Recession in the future eventually I’ll be right too…………………….LOL

Apparently we have to pay $500,000/day just to keep the desal plant at Kurnell running even if it is not being used. That is $180M/year for something we do not use. Plus the billions it cost to build the thing.

Flannery is a false prophet. Gee i wonder which party he votes for?

Every home in Sydney could have a rain water plant with that money. You may not drink the water but you could use it to flush your toilets.

ALP/Greens policies do not work. And the Greens think we can control the weather.

Yes i apologise.

I should have posted my comment on another post. But i could not resist.

“flat-earth blubbering”

LOL

Yes these storms that come around every 15 years or so are definitely a sign of human induced climate change

these storms that come around every 15 years or so

What, there was a storm as strong as this 15 years ago? But weren’t they saying nothing like it in the last 100 years?

Who to believe, who to believe?

Only the truly pig-ignorant blather on about “more frequent cyclones”.

Ignorant is harsh sb, but then, that’s your game, abuse before argument

Extreme is the word rather than frequent

“I think that’s called a cathedral, Wally … ”

The closest I got to an old cathedral was the equally old Lord Nelson Hotel…………..Gee they do some nice craft beers there

Yep, I’ll go with that sb

Several years ago we found that 60% of all major dam-filling events in Sydney catchments can be attributed to East Coast Lows

However, recent research is suggesting that the frequency of East Coast Lows, particularly the major winter systems that cause large waves, may actually decrease over the coming century given current climate projections.

Not a good projection for “teh! future” of filling dams is it?

If only there was something that could be built in the case the dams don’t fill. Because, by the time they don’t, it would probably be too late to build something, wouldn’t it?

The closest I got to an old cathedral was the equally old Lord Nelson Hotel

I went there once. It looked like they did not clean the glasses after someone had dranked a beer. They just cleaned the rims and then gave the glass to the next person. But i could be wrong.

But i could be wrong.

Perish the thought 😯

“I went there once”

Once…………….you have only been to the Lord Nelson once ?

And you live in Sydney ?

What about the Hero of Waterloo around the corner…………………or even the now renovated Opera Bar ?

What about the Australian………or the Mercantile or the Fortune of War ?

You don’t seem to get out much NoS………..!

Well, it didn’t take that long to enter into the “mature debate” did it.

Finding efficiencies in government spending programs, including hot button areas such as the health budget, are labelled by Labor as an assault on the Australian way of life. Remarkably the opposition has opposed the very same efficiency drive in higher education it proposed when in government.

Failure to embrace any or all of the above at the same time as targeting the superannuation savings of the better-off renders yesterday’s announcement nothing more than deliberate class warfare.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/opinion/columnists/bill-shortens-wedge-politics-is-neither-clever-nor-productive/story-fn53lw5p-1227315984007

What a wanker.

Blib?

Did Blib write the article callling Labors proposal “class warfare”?

No, I thought not.

Don’t lose count of those colouredcartons in the driving wind and reign will ya sb 😉

Call me crazy

I would not call Koukoulas crazy. i would call him a fraud however. He is easily the most dishonest commentator i have ever read. I notice he also believes this

“If Hockey implemented Bowen’s super & neg gearing policies, he’d present a decent sized budget surplus in next year’s budget & be doing good”

Koukoulas is a total fraud. If he tells the truth bout something it is just an accident.

Oh so ToM is in Sydney

You should stop by the redoneup Opera Bar for a quiet ale

Hmmm…

There’s just no let up in the pressure of eating discussing important issues with people

“If Hockey implemented Bowen’s super & neg gearing policies, he’d present a decent sized budget surplus in next year’s budget & be doing good”

Well that just shows that someone cant even add up.

And what were Bowen’s neg gearing proposals anyway. From what I saw all he proposed pretty much was to present proposals some day in the future………………………………thats all.

I don’t have the patience to follow a series, so maybe something like Netflix would be good.

A blind superhero!! What next. those Hollywood people think up a market for everything.

Anyone seen ‘Daredevil’?

The wife and I watched the first one to gauge just how violent it was to see if it would be OK for the youngest son (14). Some violence in these things seem very extreme to my delicate constitution.

While Daredevil himself seemed like a bit of a psychopath with his violence (but, I guess that’s the character, although I never got that from the very few comics I had seen him in way back when), the first episode didn’t seem too bad, by todays standards.

My wife mentioned that the kid would probably fall asleep though. It did drag on. So I guess I’m up for sitting through it again 😦

Interested to know if the violence gets worst though AO, if you have watched more than one episode that is, say episode two, the one “It Follows” (just so we don’t go off track on this thread ok reb)

perhaps less is more?

more or less.

I loved the article from Tim AO, he again hits the nail on the head (although the telling line is from a previous article)

It is not just that there is a right wing media that dominates and is biased. It is that the opposite of right wing media isn’t left-wing media, it is sensible journalism.

When you have a far right oligarch dictating terms to his media empire and the media empire controls the media landcsape within a country, then that is what you get.

I don’t know the solution (except perhaps to introduce rules not to allow media outlets to lie)

And, all along, this outlet has used not just its own sources, but now its payed for grubmint, to so totally bully and belittle the public broadcaster that we get the two differing “interviews” like we saw on 7.30 the past two nights.

In the first one, sales actually uses liberal talking points to berate Bowens

LEIGH SALES: On that point, the Coalition’s pointed out that those two policies are both about imposing new taxes, so should voters conclude that Labor’s approach to fixing the budget deficit will be higher taxes, not spending cuts?

LEIGH SALES: No, but – no, but let’s talk about you.

CHRIS BOWEN: And, look, we’ve announced two substantial packages. This is reining back tax concessions – no doubt about that. We’re doing it in a fair way, a sensible way, a sustainable way.

LEIGH SALES: But my point is: is Labor’s approach going to be using tax rather than spending restraint?

http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2015/s4221817.htm

I mean, she has Bowen on to talk about his policy, and all she can do is sprout liberal memes? What did we learn about the actual policy in that exchange?

whereas in the second one, whatever pyne says, no matter how extreme the lie, it really just accepted as fact, and on she goes, allowing him to spout another

Amazingly, what we’ve seen is that we have produced four times the emissions reduction in the very first auction than was achieved during the entire carbon tax experiment at about 1/90th of the price, at just over one per cent of the price of emissions reduction under the carbon tax. So what you see is that you have a massively expensive project experiment which failed to achieve its outcomes…

LEIGH SALES: OK, so how are you going to reach the targets?

http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2015/s4222650.htm

It really is an embarrassment. When every single piece of data shows that the Carbon Price achieved (and more) what it was designed for, and every indication to date, and all projections, are that direct action cannot achieve anything.

But, when we have an environment where the Right wing control the media and therefore the debate, and the “left” wing stick to playing the straight bat, this slow creep of declining journalistic standards is the only real outcome we will see.

Qantas is the 5th most desirable place to work!

Far from being a basket case with headquarters in Texas, as some tipped, it is now financially stable (for an airline) and performing well.

On the other hand the union that was involved in the dispute is shown to be run by oddballs.

“I hate not being able to see out when in the shower! ”

At my age I’m happier for my bathroom mirrors not being able to accidentally see in

After all the Guardian said it was so…………………LOL

To be fair, I’m pretty sure they stole that line from me 😉

and it seems to be working …

seems to be? 😯

It’s an absolute fucken joke.

Recall the marathon accusations questions put to Gillard. Which she answered, which backfired massively on all of the conspiracy theorists.

Now, we have a pm, who favors brits, who is about to embarass us all on the shores of Gallipoli again, and who will not front up with a simple document to prove that he is no longer a pom and eligible for the position.

The media don’t care, because they don’t want to know the answer.

Every now and then they stick their heads up above the parapet, but, if murdoch ignores it, it just dies away

Academics at the University of Western Australia have demanded its hierarchy explain how “sceptical environmentalist” Bjorn Lomborg was appointed as an adjunct professor for a new “consensus centre”, questioning whether the Danish researcher hand-picked by Prime Minister Tony Abbott has the proper qualifications.

On behalf of her school, Professor Dunlop wrote that Dr Lomborg did not have the necessary academic track record to justify his appointment as an adjunct professor.

“………and who will not front up with a simple document to prove that he is no longer a pom and eligible for the position.”

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !

“Academics at the University of Western Australia have demanded its hierarchy explain how…………”

If I was in their heirarchy I’d be telling them to go fook themselves.

Who are they to demand anything ?

…BTW The interview was with Hunt (not Pyne) –

My bad, I just noticed a lying little twerp and made an assumption 😉

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !

wally prefers ignorance.

lumping our kids with debt

So lumping our kids with debt isn’t so great these days?

“Insufficient provision was made for the future by the populist Howard government…”

ROFLMAO.

How about

“Extreme expenditure commitments were made for the future by the unpopular Rudd/Gillard government…”

“I remember when I said we should have lower debt and that we were loading up the next generation ”

I do recall a few of us bloggers warning that after the first round of stimulus Swan was effectively leaving absolutely nothing in the Treasury coffers just in case we needed more “Fiscal Bullets”

And I wonder if all those dead people (including pink batt installers) and backpackers cashed their $900 cheques

http://www.tradingeconomics.com/greece/government-debt-to-gdp

A generation ago, in the 1980s, Greece’s debt to GDP was where we are now. It really doesn’t take that long to become a basket case

All I heard a few years ago was that debt wasn’t a problem. Now that the Liberals are racking up debt, has it become a problem?

,i>So……like…………………who cares ?

Well, for starters, anyone who believes in the advancement of science.

But, couldn’t he even get local denialists to make shit up. He even outsourced that. Does he want NO Australian to have a job?

“…………the carbon tax by now would have been floating at about $10 a tonne. ”

I cant recall exactly but didnt the Carbon Tax have a Green imposed floor ?

“Well, for starters, anyone who believes in the advancement of science.”

So why were so many non climate scientists appointed to the Climate Change Authority by the ALP ?

TB – “ToM, comparing Australia to Greece…”

A generation ago successive Greek governments thought they could borrow and spend their way to prosperity. Sounds like the “informed opinion” that gets advanced by “economists” and their blog supporters sometimes.

I saw a film once.

There were actually 12,000 injuries according to the latest data, and an injury rate of 17 per 1000 employees. High and unsatisfactory, but lower than manufacturing, transport, warehousing, postal, agriculture, forestry, fishing.

It’s a little higher than the public service.

The preliminary data for 2011–12 show there were 13 735 successful workers’ compensation claims for serious injury or illness in the Construction industry. On average
there were 39 claims each day from employees who required one or more weeks off work because of work-related injury or disease

Click to access Construction-Fact-Sheet-2011-12.pdf

The latest data 😉 Not sure why you can’t get figures correct. Is it on purpose?

Now, where’s your link for the falling Union Density?

Got some evidence for that?

ROFL

(really, it’s all it deserved)

This film seems nice.

Lawrence of Arabia is quite a good film

But it does need a bit more authenticity

A few more beheadings would be good

Has anyone noticed that all the travelling on camel was done left to right so people felt it was a journey ?

Anyway watched it tonight with the big speakers going

WONDERFUL !

“We spent the revenues from the boom as they came in from 2003,” said Ross Garnaut, a professor of economics at the University of Melbourne who counseled Prime Minister Bob Hawke during the opening up of the economy in the 1980s. “That left us high and dry when the Chinese new model of economic growth ended our resources boom.”

A Simple Guide To Understanding Greg Hunt’s ‘Nonsense’ Carbon Con – See more at: https://newmatilda.com/2015/04/25/simple-guide-understanding-greg-hunt%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%98nonsense%E2%80%99-carbon-con#sthash.gcS8fHOW.dpuf

And the grubmint continues to fund idiots

Our msm hard at work again

The number of people looking for a job has now been over three quarters of a million for the past nine months – it’s 18 years since Australia had that many people out of work. Last month’s count of the unemployed – 768,600 in trend terms – was 60 per cent more than before the global financial crisis.

With numbers like that and the federal budget just two weeks away, you’d expect Joe Hockey would be talking a lot about the jobless. But in five lengthy media doorstops, interviews and Q&A sessions by the Treasurer last week he was not asked one question about unemployment. The transcripts for those interviews run to more than 7000 words but the word “unemployment” was only uttered once.

Kitty check out Dirty Wars on Netflix…Heavy shit
Primarily why I dont trust American Governments

and Australia are the top 10 happiest countries in the world.

Thank Dog for the Unions who help us maintain that happiness hey yomm 😉

I think Windsor is a liar.

Speaking of which nIl, you claimed “Bolt is not allowed to speak.”

You still haven’t stumped up on that claim.

I was only reminded of it when you mentioned “liar” 😉
