The banks

HI again,

The banks. We all know how they operate. One of my pet peeves is that they draw two account overdrawn fees  every two weeks of $9.00 each. Why doesn't this Labor Government put a bank tax on the banks and tell them to remove their fees?

Again, this government does not have the fortitude to do the hard reforms that the country needs.


That's all have to say.

Gday mates !!!!

March is approaching and then the 7 year milestone will have been reached. Not that I am complaining but it is getting worrying. I have qualifications but yet I cannot find a job. This post is to Mr. Abbot and the gang. Put policies that encourage employers, not to exploit people, but to employ people. My mental health is not the best and I do care about the other unemployed people. This labor government is incompetent. I do not have to go into the detail to prove this. If it is not careful, unemployment will rise substantially.

As I mentioned in my previous post, when there is increasing economic activity, the Reserve Bank will use interest rates as a lever to dampen this activity to keep inflation in check. Maybe the current policy settings need to be changed? This labor government has not got the fortitude to change the policy settings.

The new class !

Gday !!!!

On insiders, the opposition leader, Tony Abbot proposed to make the 600000 jobless work for the dole. I think this is a good idea.It will, if  the opposition wins govt., make me and the rest to get up in the morning and chase our dreams. It will be a start.

But alas the howls of derision from the other side will oppose it because of budgetary issues if, say the dole was raised to the minimum wage. It should be.

But the human soul, as it is, does  not care. Just like Mr. Piggy!

As it stands, the unemployed have no voice. But if they were to work for the dole, they will  be classed and maybe get organised.

Anyway, I am listening to the Don Giovanni.


Ciao!

Hi

Another attack on the principles of freedom in Isreal has ocurred. While the people in DSTO and their allies play political trickery in their respective backyards, a terrorist attack has occurred in Isreal with no end in sight to the inhumane bloodshed. As stated in an earlier blog post, an idea has been developed which may defeat Infra red missiles that the terrorists have in their arsenal of weaponry.

The frustration grows.

Hi

My 100th post (Yeah !!!!) is about how to beat bullies !!!!!. In a short post, the way that I would beat bullies is to put a restraining order on them. Yes, I would beat them legally. So if you have a bully bullying you, "hit" the bully with a restraining order.

So the parrot better watch out!!!!!!!!!!!

The Laser !!!!!!!!

I lament the going s on in Gaza. I, here in Adelaide, have feelings of despair as many people are dying and being made homeless. While at my former employer, DSTO, people are playing politics, nothing wrong about that, on the lives of the people in the middle east. While I was at DSTO, there was pressure to solve the crisis and that had a profound effect on people who were originally doing the work. But that is history.

Continuing on, I have developed an idea that may defeat certain types of Infra-Red missiles. But do they listen? No They will not ask just to save face. Anyway, I will wait for a further 13 years before I will sell the Laser !!!!!!!!!!! (I signed an agreement).


As you can see, I am frustrated by this. People lives are at risk. So I implore DSTO to offer me, not a contract, but a voice and some recompense, quickly before more lives are lost.

Where is the leadership? - Can China provide it?

I am feeling sad at the moment. I lament the latest news from abroad and locally, here, in Australia. Locally, the announcement of the Royal Commission into the Catholic Church over child sex abuse has divided the nation. Let me state that I am against the abuse of children of any kind. In my view, the alleged sexual abuse of children stems from the fact that one entity, entity of power,  intimidates another entity of a weaker power.
In fact, abuse of anyone resembles the above power model.

On a another front, the crisis in Gaza. When will people with different beliefs and ideals learn to live with each other? In Australia, we have a multi-cultural soceity for a few years now and by enlarge, it has worked.
 If the rise of China is to coincide with no wars and a balance of power that is neutral.

I hope so.

The role of the cricket umpire !!!!

Hi

On a much lighter issue, I was wondering about the role of the umpire in cricket matches while watching the test match between South Africa and Australia. The current third umpire and referral system, puts the power squarely in the hands of the players. Anything controversial is constantly referred to the man upstairs. For example, a South African player was given out lbw but the non-striker had  a discussion with the striker and referred it to the third umpire. It was eventually found, in this case, the third umpire agreed with the central umpire.
While technology can aid the Umpire, it should not be put totally in the players hands. The ICC should strike some sort of balance between the role of the human umpire and the machine like technology of the referral system.

The race that was won.

Hi Guys

Phew !!! What a race to the the white house !!!!!! I hope you have backed the winner !!!! As for me being apolitical, I did not take much notice at first but I then realised how important this election is to the world!
One issue that took my gaze was the oldie but a goodie. That issue is Abortion. My humble view is that the women who is affected has the choice of having the abortion or not in the face of incest, rape (in marriage etc..) and any other situation that the woman gets pregnant. To add a twist to the issue, If the woman who gets pregnant by forced copulation and she has a family, then the family will make the decision to have or have not the baby.


Let me know what you think.
